Final Fantasy VII Revelation, the latest entry in the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy, will introduce an optional feature that allows players to automatically level up their characters. This was revealed in an interview with IGN Japan on September 19, 2026, and shared by Genki’s X account on September 21, 2026. Director Naoki Hamaguchi explained that the feature is designed for players who want to focus on the main story without spending time on side activities like grinding for experience or exploring the world. The automatic leveling system will enable players to reach the recommended level for progressing through the game without engaging in repetitive battles or exploration. However, it is not meant to replace traditional methods of character progression, such as earning experience through gameplay. Instead, it offers an alternative for players who may find sudden increases in difficulty challenging or time-consuming. This feature is similar to other convenience tools used in previous Square Enix games, such as the option to keep a character’s health and magic points at maximum and deal maximum damage with every attack. These features aim to make the game more accessible while still preserving the core gameplay experience for those who prefer it. Final Fantasy VII Revelation is set to release on April 8, 2027, and will be available on multiple platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. The game continues the story of the original 1997 title, which is widely regarded as one of the most influential role-playing games in video game history.
