Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Confirms Return of Iconic Slap Fight Minigame
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Game director Naoki Hamaguchi has confirmed that the iconic Tifa and Scarlet slap fight minigame is returning in Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, alongside adjustments to reduce minigame difficulty based on player feedback.
Square Enix is keeping the momentum high for the final chapter of its massive remake project. During Summer Game Fest, game director Naoki Hamaguchi confirmed that Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will feature the return of the infamous slap fight between Tifa and Scarlet as a fully playable minigame. Originally appearing during the high stakes escape in Junon from the 1997 PlayStation classic, the sequence has been adapted to fit the modern style of the trilogy. According to an interview with Denfamico translated by community translator Aitaikimochi, the team is listening closely to player feedback regarding the sheer volume and challenge of side activities.
Players who spent dozens of hours chasing high scores in Rebirth can breathe a sigh of relief. Hamaguchi noted that while Revelation will feature just as many minigames as its predecessor, the overall difficulty will be dialed back based on community response. This change shows a welcome willingness to adjust the pacing for players who want to experience the main narrative and its nostalgic callbacks without hitting frustrating difficulty spikes. It is a smart pivot for a trilogy that leans heavily on fan service while trying to appeal to a broad, cross platform audience.
Crucially, Revelation is breaking tradition by launching next spring on all current gen platforms simultaneously, dropping the timed PlayStation exclusivity windows of its predecessors. For modern gamers who play across various setups, this means everyone gets to jump into the final showdown together. You can read the original reporting over at Game Rant.
