Following Wolverine Criticism, FF7 Revelation Adds More On-Screen Hints And Guidance

Expert Verified By

Should Devs Add More of Fewer Hints In AAA Games?

Story Highlight

  • Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will feature more on-screen guidance for new and returning players.
  • Square Enix is also adding auto-leveling to the game as part of its accessibility changes.
  • This update follows recent criticism of Marvel’s Wolverine for similar navigation hints.

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation has many fans excited as the epic conclusion to the remake trilogy and the biggest game in the series yet.

Square Enix seems to be addressing a lot of player feedback with its upcoming entry, but one detail could upset players. Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is adding more player guidance to help gamers stay on track.

Why it matters: Recently, a game like Marvel’s Wolverine was criticized for its hand-holding during navigation, something that was later tweaked by the developers due to the criticism.

Square Enix is making Final Fantasy 7 Revelation easier to follow, with more on-screen guidance being added to help players stay on track.

As per director Naoki Hamaguchi, the change is aimed at reducing confusion for players who may not want to constantly check menus or the map. The good news is that the studio seems aware that not everyone wants extra guidance on the screen at all times.

The game’s director has noted that options to tweak these elements are currently being considered. This is something players seem to be actively seeking today, especially if the Marvel’s Wolverine criticism is anything to go by.

Of course, the distinction between Marvel’s Wolverine and Final Fantasy 7 Revelation comes from the latter’s open-world nature, which makes a better case for player-friendly navigation.

Another upcoming accessibility feature is Final Fantasy 7 Revelation’s auto-leveling system, which will allow players to skip the JRPG grind altogether and raise their party’s level to a preset recommendation in an instant.

This system, however, is completely optional, so it will be interesting to see whether the team also allows the navigational hints to be turned off in a similar manner.
