Square Enix has revealed a new Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Moogle karaoke mini-game, and it’s as adorable as you would expect. The developer released new gameplay showing off the rhythm game, which has players joining a Moogle idol group to perform songs.

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Moogles Trade Their Shop for an Idol Group

Square Enix has shared new Final Fantasy 7 Revelation gameplay on X, revealing a major career change for the Moogles in the 2027 title. In FF7 Revelation, the Moogle Emporium has gone out of business, and its merchant has decided to form an idol group instead.

In the short clip, the Moogle merchant explains to Cloud why the Emporium had to close up shop: “The Moogle Emporium is no more! The threat of both the meteor and the Weapons scared away all our clientele. Without customers I wouldn’t be able to bring joy to anyone. That’s when I knew I needed to switch gears, kupo! So I decided to form a Moogle Idol Group. Moogle studios, is going to bring smiles to our fans worldwide!”

If you’ve played the previous Final Fantasy 7 remake games, this is quite the plot development for our favorite bite-sized merchants. Hilariously, Square Enix also released a second video showing the Moogle mini-game in action. And well, these fluffy performers are taking their new careers seriously!

How the Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Moogle Karaoke Mini-Game Works

The Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Moogle mini-game looks similar to the karaoke games in Yakuza. Controller button prompts move across the screen, and players have to press the matching buttons in time with the music.

However, the Moogles aren’t just dancing along to a backing track. The idol group performs an original song complete with lyrics encouraging players to dance, shake their pom, and let loose. Naturally, there are plenty of “kupos” thrown in the lyrics as well.

For your convenience, here is the full gameplay clip so you can watch it yourself:

While Final Fantasy 7 Revelation certainly has a heavy story, Square Enix is continuing to make room for the original game’s lighthearted side. In September, the developer also revealed the new FF7 Revelation hot springs feature, which lets Cloud and his friends take a break in the sauna.

Between spa visits and Moogle karaoke, the party has a few ways to unwind before facing Sephiroth in the final showdown of the remake series.

The Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake release date is almost here. Here is when the highly anticipated Zelda Remake launches on Nintendo Switch 2, including when players in North America should be able to start playing a day early.

Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake Release Date Explained

The Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake release date is Thursday, November 5, 2026. However, the game is expected to become playable on November 4 for players in western North America who purchase it digitally through the Nintendo eShop.

According to Nintendo’s official support site, digital games that are also sold physically usually unlock at 9:00 PM PT the night before their listed release date. Therefore, Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake should launch in North America at 9:00 PM PT on November 4 / 12:00 AM ET on November 5.

That means players on the West Coast will be able to jump into Hyrule on Wednesday evening. Players on the East Coast, meanwhile, will need to wait until midnight. That said, Nintendo’s regional guidance differs, with its UK support page saying most software becomes available at midnight on its release date.

How Many Days Until Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake Comes Out?

At the time of writing, the Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake comes out in six days on November 5, 2026. However, if you are counting down every hour in excitement, we’ve created a countdown timer below that shows you how many days are left until launch:

Does Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake Have a Deluxe Edition?

Nintendo has not announced a Deluxe Edition of Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake. There is also no announced paid early access period or edition-exclusive in-game bonus content. Players can purchase the standard game either physically or digitally.

However, early physical buyers can get special packaging featuring textured gold foil cover artwork. Nintendo says this box is included with the first print run of the game and will be available while supplies last.

So, if you want the shiny cover for your collection, pre-ordering a physical copy is worth considering. Check that your retailer lists the special packaging before ordering.

Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake Amiibo Support Explained

New Young Link and Young Zelda amiibo figures are scheduled to launch in 2027. Nintendo has confirmed that these figures will unlock special in-game masks that feature a retro graphical style.

These unlocks are tied to the amiibo figures, rather than a Deluxe Edition or pre-order bonus. So, while there will be additional items available through amiibo, you do not need to choose a more expensive edition of the game to get them.
