Final Fantasy VII Revelation Includes the Submarine, but No Free Underwater Exploration
According to an IGN interview with Naoki Hamaguchi, the submarine is included in Final Fantasy VII Revelation, as already shown in one of the most recent trailers, but there will be no free exploration of an underwater world map.
“The submarine is of course included. However, in this game, we decided to remove the element of exploring the underwater world map with the submarine.”
Hamaguchi says the decision was made early in development, allowing the team to focus on making the existing world map more detailed rather than adding another large area of exploration.
“By making the decision early on not to do it, we were able to increase the density of the world map.”
The submarine still appears in the main story, including a fight with Emerald Weapon.
“The confrontation with Emerald Weapon involving the submarine is properly integrated into the main story as new content, so I think players will be satisfied with that.”
