11 Final Fantasy VII Revelation sets the party loose across a world without boundaries. The entire planet is freely explorable aboard the iconic airship Highwind, giving the finale an open, player-led structure. From the air, players can drop in by parachute almost anywhere, transitioning seamlessly from flight to exploration on foot, a first for the trilogy.

88 The Highwind, piloted by Cid Highwind, is the heart of traversal. It becomes available early in the adventure, roughly four to six hours in according to the director, opening up the wider world for free exploration much sooner than in the previous entries; the sequence in which the party gains the airship is meant to be a dramatic moment for fans. The party can also venture beneath the waves using a submarine to reach areas below the surface.
