Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Physical Copies Are Out In The Wild

Fans and players of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth are reacting to one minor, but potentially divisive, element of the game: The game's updated designs for the iconic Moogle creature. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth remixed the looks of the Moogles for the new title, leading to some fans reacting in mild horror at their new look.

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.

Launched on February 29th worldwide, Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth for PS5 received extensive praise from critics. Unfortunately, physical sales in the UK are down almost 30 percent compared to the launch of Final Fantasy 7 Remake per Gfk data shared by Games Industry head Christopher Dring on Twitter.

With Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth finally available for the PS5 almost four years after the first part, all eyes are now on the final part in the trilogy. Creative director Tetsuya Nomura confirmed development had begun in June 2022, while director Naoki Hamaguchi said last month that the script is making progress.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's director, Naoki Hamaguchi, has claimed a patch to address the game's graphics in performance mode is in development and will be released soon. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launched on February 29 after much anticipation. The story continues on from the previous game's ending, following Cloud and his party as they find a way to stop Sephiroth and save the world. One of the things that Rebirth was praised for was its presentation, having incredibly detailed graphics.

It’s finally here! Yes, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is finally here, and that means that gamers can FINALLY continue the story of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Barrett, Red XIII, and the new friends they’ll make along the way as they travel through the world of Gaia and attempt to stop Sephiroth! But before you go into your adventure, there is one last message you should hear. Specifically, the leads behind this incredible remake title came together for one last “thank you” and a statement about the game’s launch and what it means to them to have this game out amongst players finally.

As the release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth began worldwide, Square Enix announced that some copies of the game sold in Japan and Asia were mislabeled, with the Data Disc and the Play Disc having their labeling switched during manufacturing. Square Enix posted a notice on social media and gave affected Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth players instructions on how to get around the issue.

Square Enix has discovered a printing error on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth game discs printed for the Japan and Asia regions, the company announced.

Here’s a story that honestly has a bit of “history” attached to it in a way you might not recall. You see, in the earliest days of gaming, the phrase “going gold” meant that you had finished the game and put everything on a literal gold-style disc so you could hand it off to the people making copies of your game and thus get them into the hands of the public. The problem is that if you gave the people the wrong disc? You were screwed. What does that have to do with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth? Well, in Japan, a certain ‘mistake’ has come to life with how the discs were printed.

Due to an error in the manufacturing process, the “Play Disc” and “Data Disc” labels on the two discs in Japanese physical edition of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth have been printed on the opposite discs, Square Enix announced.

In an interview that took place days before the launch of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, game director Naoki Hamaguchi stated that he had no idea during the game's development that Sephiroth would be included in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a DLC fighter. Hamaguchi also stated that none of the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth development team had a clue at the time either, and claimed that he only found out when the public did.

The reviews are in for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, with the game finding itself as the fifth highest-rated Final Fantasy game to date. When Square Enix first announced its plans to remake Final Fantasy 7, many assumed that the game would be a simple redo of the original, but with upgraded graphics to meet modern standards. Instead, Square Enix went in a very different direction, greatly expanding on the original to the point that the story is being told over the course of three games.
