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 7 Rebirth is Out Today for PlayStation 5
29.02.2024 - 07:37 / gamingbolt.com / Square Enix / Naoki Hamaguchi
The anticipation for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has been through the roof for a while now, but the wait is now over. The second instalment in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is available now on PlayStation 5, and Square Enix has released a launch trailer to commemorate the occasion. You can view it below, though do keep in mind that if you’re looking to avoid spoilers, it might be best to skip this trailer.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth expands on its predecessor’s formula in a number of ways. On top of offering a massive, open world setting, it touts combat improvements (like the new Synergy Abilities), a multitude of minigames, a soundtrack comprising of over 400 pieces, and much more.
The action RPG has received universal acclaim from critics leading up to its release, and currently ranks as one of the best-reviewed Final Fantasy games of all time. According to game director Naoki Hamaguchi, achieving a Metacritic score of over 90 was one of the development team’s main goals.
In our own review of the game, we awarded it a score of 10/10, saying, “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is one of the best Final Fantasy games of all time. It’s nothing short of a spectacle, an epic journey full of bombastic action, heartfelt emotion, and unforgettable moments- a celebration both of itself and the legendary game it is based on, one that brazenly and loudly demands your attention, and actually manages to hold on to it, because all of its flash is backed by just as much substance. From storytelling to world design, from exploration to combat, from visuals to music, from the amount of content it offers to how much meaningful variety that content exhibits, in nearly every way that matters, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth surpasses expectations.” Read the full review through here.
Work on the final instalment in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is already underway.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Will Remain PlayStation Exclusive
The yet-untitled third installment in the Final Fantasy Remake series will remain exclusive to PlayStation consoles. After years of rumors, speculation, and hope from legions of fans, Square Enix finally released the first chapter of its modern reimagining of Final Fantasy 7 in 2020. Final Fantasy 7 Remake only told a fraction of the original’s plot, with the recently-released Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth continuing from when Cloud and the party leave Midgar until the fateful trip to the Forgotten Capital at the end of the old FF7’s second disk.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s Open World Wouldn’t be Seamless if it Was Multiplatform, Producer Says
There’s a lot to love about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and its open world setting is surely high on that list. On top of being massive and incredibly varied across its many different regions, the entire map is also entirely seamless, which means you’re never hit with a loading screen when traveling from one area to the next (unless, of course, you’re fast traveling). Interestingly, however, according to producer Yoshinori Kitase, the game’s open world design wouldn’t have been quite so impressive if it hadn’t been developed as a platform-exclusive title.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Director Confirms Key Town For Third Entry
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.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Could Have Had A Different Ending
The development team behind Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth didn’t always know when the game was going to end, and it could have left off at a different point in the original’s story. After almost four years, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has finally been released, continuing the story of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Sephiroth, and the rest of the cast that fans know and love from the original Final Fantasy 7 and its many spin-offs. Just like Final Fantasy 7 Remake before it, FF7 Rebirth only retells a fraction of the 1997 PlayStation classic’s plot, picking up where its predecessor left off with Cloud and his friends escaping Midgar.
