Square Enix put out a few new clips from Final Fantasy VII Revelation that feel laser-targeted at me, the type of player who isn’t swayed by big open worlds or a conclusion to a story I think has been laughably inconsistent. You know what does draw me to the third game in Square Enix’s Remake trilogy? The lovable goofballs in its party. You know what’s even better at getting me to pay attention? Seeing the men in the group in their new bathing suits in the game’s hot-springs sections. That’s right, after giving the ladies their fanservice moment in Rebirth with their cute swimsuits in Costa del Sol, the men are getting some sun, and the boy likers are getting some eye candy with costumes that players will be able to unlock and use throughout the game, according to director Naoki Hamaguchi. But…wait…why is Cid as smooth as Cloud’s twink ass?

The two clips show a couple of humorous scenes of the party in hot springs together. One shows Cloud, Red XIII, and Barret trying to balance rubber chocobos on their heads, and the other has Barret and Cid stumbling upon Vincent bathing in full combat armor. For all my problems with the Remake trilogy, I have to admit it excels in fun moments like this. You can tell Square Enix loves these characters and riffing on their dynamics in cute ways in between all the big emotional swings and all the mini-game bloat . So I’m sure when we get these scenes in English, the voice cast will make them really sing for those of us who can’t understand the Japanese we hear in these clips.
