Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Will Have a New Queen’s Blood Protagonist
Although Hamaguchi previously stated that Queen’s Blood would be brought back in Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, the director has shed more light on some planned changes. In an interview with Game Informer, Hamaguchi said that Red XIII will be the main protagonist of Queen’s Blood in Final Fantasy 7 Revelation. Red XIII will succeed Cloud in the role of Queen’s Blood’s lead character. The Final Fantasy 7 Revelation director said that the change was made based on a scene in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, during which Red XIII stood on two legs and danced while playing Queen’s Blood in disguise. He added that there will be some balance changes to the rules of Queen’s Blood, along with some additional difficulty settings that players can pick from. Hamaguchi said, “There are still going to be a lot of mini-games and side contents, but we also want to be more mindful of the players’ accessibility, too.”
