Final Fantasy VII Revelation Will Feature Armor With Three Linked Materia Slots
In an interview with Wccftech at gamescom 2026, Naoki Hamaguchi revealed an interesting Final Fantasy VII Revelation detail. Some armor in Revelation will feature three linked Materia slots, expanding the armor customization system beyond what was available in Remake and Rebirth.
“In Remake and Rebirth, armor had materia slots, and some of them were linked, but it was usually two. In Revelation, some armors have three linked slots. That's the big difference. What that means is that you can amplify the effects of each materia depending on which ones you equip in those slots.”
Hamaguchi also confirmed that this is the first time the three linked slots have been discussed with the media:
“Yes, it's going to be very powerful. I've spoken to a lot of media so far and nobody has asked me about this level of detail, so this is the first time we're revealing this information. This is the first time we've ever talked about the three linked slots with any media.”
