Square Enix has confirmed that summons will return in FF7 Rebirth, allowing players to unleash monsters upon their enemies. It’s unclear whether the summons from FF7 Remake will be returning, but we know for sure that some familiar faces from FF7 will be appearing in the game, as well as at least one brand-new summon.
The latest trailer for FF7 Rebirth was packed with information about new and returning content that will appear in the game. These include a playable version of Cait Sith, all of the minigames from the Gold Saucer, breeding and racing Chocobos, and the return of Vincent Valentine. The trailer also featured some of the summons that will be appearing in the game.

In FF7, Alexander is a holy-element summon. You find its Materia in the Great Glacier after defeating Snow. If Alexander appears in FF7 Rebirth, the developers are bringing it forward, as they have confirmed that the game ends at the Forgotten Capitol, which is visited before the Great Glacier in the original game.
In the new FF7 Rebirth trailer, it’s clear that Alexander is being fought in the simulation world, where many of the summons appeared in FF7 Remake. This means we’ll be seeing more of the VR summon battles, though it’s unclear if this is just for Alexander or for more of them.
Kujata is a summon from FF7 that has rarely appeared in other Final Fantasy games, but it will be making its return in FF7 Rebirth. In FF7, Kujata simultaneously uses fire, ice, and lighting elements as part of the Tetra-Disaster attack. The Kujata Materia was pretty easy to find, as it was on the path to Sleeping Forest, which means it would be
