After a cataclysmic event, the world is shattered, and Kefka reigns supreme. This chapter focuses on reuniting your scattered party members and preparing for the final confrontation. The world map is vastly different, and many areas are now accessible by airship.
Much like the desolate endgame of Final Fantasy XVI, this ruined landscape shifts the narrative focus toward rebuilding hope and gathering allies amidst total environmental devastation.
While Final Fantasy VII Remake utilizes a linear narrative structure, the World of Ruin offers an open-ended experience centered on gathering allies for a final assault.
