Final Fantasy VII Revelation Shows Off Vincent, Cid, and FITS System

TGS hands-on demo reveals new party members and the Whirlwind Maze ahead of 2027 launch

Snap says:

Vincent finally gets the kit the fans demanded—mid-range lead and Galian Beast claws in one package. The FITS system just gave this brooding ex-Turk the keys to the whole damn endgame.

The Tokyo Game Show 2026 hands-on for Final Fantasy VII Revelation drops Vincent and Cid straight into the playable party, and the PlayStation Blog report makes clear how their kits finally deliver on decades of fan expectations. Vincent toggles between mid-range gunfire that builds into escalating Blood Moon, Execration, and Retribution abilities and an on-demand Galian Beast transformation that trades max HP for claw-based aggression and faster staggering. Cid, meanwhile, dances through the air with spear reach, marking targets via Target Spear to set up multi-hit follow-ups like Dragon Spin and Hyper Dive.

Vincent and Cid join as playable characters with distinct two-style and aerial combat kits, backed by the new FITS job system.

vincent in the party?? cid with whirlwind maze mechanics?? this is everything 16-year-old me dreamed of when i beat disc 2, the fits system might be the best combat upgrade since they added materia in the first place

Vincent's confirmed kit has him switching between Dragoon jump-cancels and Quicksilver pistol stance. Cid finally gets his dragoon-adjacent spear tech instead of being locked to Highwind animations.

Thorne dropping encyclopedia entries like he's getting paid per semicolon. The FITS system is just a cooler name for phase-shift anyway, but go off about the Dragoon tech.
