Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth players will get to experience an all-new storyline when they reach the Costa del Sol segment of the game. With the game releasing in about a month, Square Enix has been revealing new information about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth to keep fans excited.
The original Final Fantasy 7 has been out since 1997, so by now, most gamers are already aware of the major plot points in the title, even if they have not played it. As such, Square Enix has been changing the story of the remake project in some significant ways to keep the plot fresh for returning fans and newcomers. Now, it's been confirmed that Costa del Sol, a resort town that Cloud and company briefly visited in the original, will change in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
The information comes via a translation from a Twitter user, aitaikimochi, of Motomu Toriyama, the co-director of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, who revealed at the Taipei Game Show 2024 that Costa del Sol will now have an all-new story. The translation went on to say that the resort would be the place where Cloud and company could have some downtime amid the seriousness of the story.
It was also revealed that player choice will play a part in the game and even affect cutscenes depending on the affinity between party members. This affinity level will also have an impact in combat, where players will have various team attacks. Summons in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will also be getting an update where players can now upgrade their materia to make them stronger. Additionally, there will be a variety of mini-games, including Chocobo races, where players can earn gear for their feathered pals.
With the promise of new storylines and features, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is looking to be like a massive game. And with the 27th anniversary of the original Final Fantasy 7 quickly approaching on January 31, fans are wondering if Square Enix has yet to reveal the best surprises.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is the highly-anticipated continuation of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. The story will continue to follow Cloud Strife and may even see appearances from Zack Fair.

When Final Fantasy XVI was announced, Square Enix made it clear that this would be an attempt by them to make something different. They weren’t going to “rewrite the book,” per se, and make an entirely different kind of game. Still, they were going to lean into certain elements that would take it in a different direction compared to previous entries in the longstanding franchise. But one of the most important factors was that this game would have a much darker storyline, one that was embodied in the main character, Clive Rosfield. He would be a conduit for many things that would happen in the best and worst ways, and many fans resonated with him as a result.
2024 is off to a flying start when it comes to games, with major titles like Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and Tekken 8 releasing in January.

Many people are looking forward to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and that’s not a shock at all. When Square Enix released the first entry of the “remake saga” back in 2020, gamers were stunned by how well the publisher had remade the original title despite focusing only on the Midgar storyline for the “first part.” The graphics were stunning, the voice acting was on point, and the updated combat system made it feel like an RPG while also being “upgraded” to fit modern times. However, a few flaws held it back, mainly in the party system.
For the record, we didn’t plan two stories about items you can get for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to come in back-to-back days. Life decided to have a little fun with us, and we don’t mind. Yesterday, we discussed how Square Enix Reward Program members could get a special glitter globe featuring the Gold Saucer from the upcoming RPG. It was cute and adorable, and we’re sure some of you have already subscribed to the program so you can get it or are cashing in points to ensure you get it. But, if you’re looking for something a bit more “substantial,” then perhaps Amazon is where you go to get the game.
