Snowboarding will feature in Final Fantasy 7 Revelation’s main story, not just at the Gold Saucer, director Naoki Hamaguchi tells GamesRadar+. He says Queen’s Blood will also return with new rules and mechanics. Source
The main quest has acquired sporting equipment.
“The snowboarding minigame is just essential to FF7 as a whole,” Hamaguchi says. “I feel like that's what fans are expecting.” Source
Hamaguchi doesn’t reveal where snowboarding fits in the story, asking players to “stay tuned.” Source
Queen’s Blood gets more than an encore
Queen’s Blood, the lane-based card minigame from Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, will return in the trilogy’s final chapter. Hamaguchi says the team received “a lot of warm, positive reception specifically to the Queen's Blood minigame,” with fans asking whether it would appear in the next installment. Source
That response helped make its inclusion an early commitment. As Hamaguchi puts it, “there really was no other option for us”. Apparently, the cards had already secured their seat in the finale. Source
“We did polish the system again,” Hamaguchi says. The team is adding new rules and mechanics, though GamesRadar+’s report doesn’t detail them. There’s no new rulebook to argue over just yet. Source
GamesRadar+ also reports that Red XIII, the wolf-like party member, will lead the new Queen’s Blood storyline. Source
