Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is Now the Fifth Highest-Rated Game in the Series

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi recently weighed in on the possibility of expansions for the Queen’s Blood card game in the wake of its popularity. Just like Final Fantasy 7 Remake before it, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth expands on the story of the 1997 original and includes many new side quests and bonus activities. Chief among them is Queen’s Blood, a card game that can be played in the lands beyond Midgar’s borders.

In the world of video game soundtracks, you can’t get much more iconic than Nobuo Uematsu. Most well-known for composing soundtracks for the first nine Final Fantasy games, the musician has gone on to write tracks for many subsequent entries to the franchise, most recently penning the tearjerking theme song for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, No Promises to Keep.

Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu believes game music has become too similar to film and «cannot develop further» if continuing in this direction.

In a recent interview, Final Fantasy 14 producer and director Naoki Yoshida expressed his intent to make the critically acclaimed MMORPG more challenging in the future but stopped short of saying what he would exactly do. While Final Fantasy 14 developed a reputation as a stress-free experience during Endwalker, Yoshida stated that he and the developers had gone a bit far in that regard, and wanted to dial it back.

Bringing the once-doomed MMO Final Fantasy XIV back to life and directing the latest mainline title of the long-running franchise isn’t enough for Square Enix superstar Naoki Yoshida. In a new interview with Famitsu, Yoshida chatted at length about his desire to direct yet another major game for Square Enix.

The Final Fantasy VII Remake project trilogy will be console-exclusive to PlayStation, according to Sony Interactive Entertainment vice president of second- and third-party content ventures and strategic initiatives Christian Svensson.

Players have been gushing about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth since its launch last week, and there’s a good reason for that: the game is incredible by all meaningful accounts. Just as important, the title expanded upon the game’s lore, world, and more to ensure that gamers had the best experience within it. Remember, the original “remake” title was set entirely within Midgar, with the team at Avalanche only getting out of the city after a clash with Sephiroth. However, while the Square Enix team did make the world vast, they ensured that there was still plenty to explore within the next entry, which will finish the story.

Square Enix is already at work at fixing the issues with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s Performance Mode.

A printing error with the physical Japanese release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth means the discs have the wrong labels on them.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s hugely anticipated launch is right around the corner, and with reviews for the game having gone live well ahead of its release and painted a glowing picture of the epic journey that Square Enix is on the verge of delivering, excitement is sky-high. Among many of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s elements that have received overwhelming praise in recent days, its vast and varied collection of minigames has received quite a bit of attention in particular, and game director Naoki Hamaguchi has now provided a clearer picture of just how many minigames players will find throughout the experience.

There’s no shortage of reasons to be excited about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth ahead of its imminent launch, and its sizeable and varied roster of minigames is surely high on that list. From playing the piano to chocobo racing, from Fort Condor to G-Bike, the upcoming action RPG boasts an impressive amount of optional minigames for players to engage with- but in the lead up to its release, none have caught the eye the way Queen’s Blood has.

Can you feel it? Can you? If so, you’re likely a gamer who wants to get their hands on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth the moment it comes out on Thursday. That’s a key thing to state: it comes out on Thursday! After years of waiting after the release of the first remake title, the sequel is almost here, and gamers can’t wait to see what the title is like in full. To their credit, Square Enix has been doing its job with hyping up the game to nearly insane levels. They even released a massive number of review codes so that nearly everyone would sing the game’s praises, and it worked!
