  "account": "Final Fantasy 7 Revelation's release date marks the conclusion of the remake trilogy, with Sephiroth and Vincent DLC further delaying that end. Throughout the summer, Square Enix showcased various Final Fantasy 7 Revelation-related content at major gaming events. The latest trailer confirmed Cloud driving a motorbike again during a boss fight and revealed April 8th as the release date, six years after the first part's launch. Cloud rides a motorbike in this version, and Zack and Aerith reunite again, addressing Clerith shippers while possibly disappointing Cloti fans. Gameplay felt awkward but fitting, introducing a pet chocobo for combat, a hookshot for vertical exploration, and an in-game camera capturing adorable cats. The story expansion pass consists of two parts: one focusing on Vincent and the Turks, and the other on Sephiroth. While Vincent is a fan favorite with his own game, Dirge of Cerberus, Sephiroth's story has already been expanded upon in Crisis Core and Ever Crisis, prompting concern for the latter's necessity.",
