Final Fantasy VII Revelation: hidden hot springs, max HP bonus and costume skins

The same post also mentions an effect that can raise maximum HP and says a costume skin can sometimes be obtained. Kotaku wrote about the same footage on 6 October 2026 and linked it to bathing-suit outfits.

The available source material still leaves open whether those outfits are available for all characters and whether Final Fantasy VII Revelation is the final worldwide title.

What happened

The official Final Fantasy VII account shared a post on 5 October 2026 about a “hot spring tour” in Final Fantasy VII Revelation. In the embedded Japanese text, the hot springs are described as hidden locations on the world map, meant as a rest stop between adventures. The post uses the phrase “名湯めぐりの旅” and explicitly refers to a world map with hidden hot springs.

The post mentions three concrete gameplay elements. Players can hear special conversations with party members there, a max HP bonus can occur, and there is a chance to obtain a costume skin. The text does not give exact conditions for those rewards, nor does it provide numbers for the skin chance or the size of the HP bonus.

Kotaku published an article on 6 October 2026 about the same hot spring footage. According to that piece, director Naoki Hamaguchi said the bathing-suit outfits shown in the hot spring segments would later be unlockable and could be used throughout the game. The source material provided here does not include a full interview or transcript, so that wording is only confirmed through the article itself.

Based on the material provided, it is not confirmed whether those outfits are available for all characters. It is also unclear whether Final Fantasy VII Revelation is the final global title or a working title. The source material does connect the update to the Final Fantasy VII Remake account and mentions the handle @nhamaguc in the embed.

Background

The embedded Japanese post uses the phrase “名湯めぐりの旅” and refers to a world map with hidden hot springs. The source also says the update came from the Final Fantasy VII Remake account, with a link to the handle @nhamaguc. The tweet is dated 5 October 2026 and is tied in the source material to the account @FFVIIR_CLOUD.

The available source material does not include a full interview or press release. Because of that, the exact wording of Naoki Hamaguchi’s comments cannot be fully verified, but the official post itself does confirm the hot springs, the conversations, the HP bonus and the possible costume skins. The post describes those rewards as possible outcomes, without additional detail on conditions, characters or percentages.

Kotaku’s 6 October 2026 article adds a second layer by describing the footage as hot spring scenes with bathing-suit outfits. According to that piece, those outfits would later be unlockable and usable throughout the game. That detail also remains limited to the article’s account in the provided sources, since no separate source or full quote from Hamaguchi is included.

The title in the source material is Final Fantasy VII Revelation, while the open questions explicitly note that it has not been confirmed whether this is the official worldwide title. The available data therefore mainly supports the content of the update itself: hidden hot springs on the world map, special conversations with party members, a max HP bonus and a chance at a costume skin. The source material also names Cloud, Barret, Red XIII, Cid and Vincent as characters involved in the context of the update, but does not specify which rewards or outfits apply to each character.
