Final Fantasy's father was so obsessed with Final Fantasy 14 last year that he played the MMO for 12 hours a day and "basically lived in" it

Let’s be honest here for a moment. 2023 had many ups and downs in gaming, even if Geoff Keighley doesn’t want to admit it! One of the biggest “downers” of 2023 was a host of games coming out before they ever should’ve been released. Not only does that look bad on the industry, but on the people who worked on the games that should’ve known it would’ve been bad if released then. Yes, some of them might have been fighting back, but other times, it was clear that they were fine with those early releases. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s director won’t be among that cast of “characters” when the game releases next year.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's director, Naoki Hamaguchi, has said that there's one scene in the game that's going to make players "lose their minds".

When it comes to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, one of the biggest reasons that gamers want to get their hands on it sooner rather than later is because they want answers to the questions they have. Specifically, the “remake saga” has already made it clear that significant changes to the original game’s storyline will affect certain plot points in the next two titles. Some of them were basic “quality of life” changes to help flesh things out more. But then, some changes drastically affected how the story would be told and who might be alive at the end of it.

Square Enix has proudly proclaimed how big Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is, offering a main story that’s 40 hours long and 100 hours of gameplay for completionists. However, the development team has also emphasized the side content, which makes up about 80 percent of the exploration-based gameplay.

Veteran Final Fantasy developer Tetsuya Nomura has stated in a recent interview that whoever dies at the end of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth won't be returning, as that's what happened in the original.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is resurrecting the series' staple world map for the first time since Final Fantasy 9, over 23 years ago.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is setting out to be a massive game, and it will require a lot of time to see everything it has to offer.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the 12-page cover story of Game Informer Issue 362, the publication announced.

Video game developers are constantly under pressure to make the best titles they can. That goes double for when they’re working in an established franchise or have made a hit game and are asked to follow it up. With Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the pressure increases exponentially because of various factors. First, the previous entry in the “remake saga” was a smash hit and “rewrote” the world and characters that fans loved in certain places. That means the sequel could be just as “shifting,” and that has caused some problems amongst “some fans.” By that, we mean people have been bombarding the Square Enix team with messages and demanding that certain things don’t happen in the sequel.

In a new blog published to the game’s official site, Andy Tsen, co-founder of Ramen VR, fully officially discussed the prospects of Zenith: The Last City’s 2.0 version. The blog also acknowledges that alpha playtests will be enacted soon.
