A new Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was shared online, providing another exciting look at the second entry in the trilogy launching in a few months on PlayStation 5.
The new trailer, which was shared during this year's The Game Awards show, provides the first look at Cid, who looks amazing, a new look at the Gold Saucer, Synergy Attacks, the Titan and Phoenix summons, and Zack's story, which is surely to have some interesting developments. The trailer shows Aerith singing the game's theme song, No Promises to Keep, and what seems like to be a sequence from THAT scene, which no one knows how it will play out in the remake.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was also crowned as the Most Anticipated Game of 2024 during yesterday's show, which is not surprising, considering the hype is at an all-time high, especially with what the new trailer has shown.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth launches on PlayStation 5 on February 29th, 2024. You can learn more about the game by checking out Kai's preview.
Plenty of points of interest fill the map surrounding the fields of Junon in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, leading to rare and notorious monster encounters that provide currencies to build out World Intel when various objectives are completed (typically staggering or beating an enemy in a certain amount of time or a more specific objective such as defeating a flying enemy before it can take to the skies during one of its attacks). Colorful background dialogue is provided by an unseen NPC named MAI, who’s new to the story. MAI helps provide some interesting lore about the beasts Cloud is about to hunt for sport. While there’s an outstanding bounty on the heads of AVALANCHE (all five members still at large, including Biggs and Jessie), the major/sheriff of Junon isn’t about to turn the group in for a quick payout. The demo ends with a chance encounter with Yuffie about to become dinner for a monstrous fish known as the Terror of the Deep, culminating in a final boss fight and some humorous hijinks between Cloud and the first encounter with Mr. Dolphin.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will introduce entirely new cities that weren't in the original 1997 JRPG in order to, in Square Enix's words, "go deeper and create this whole worldview of Rebirth."
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.
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.
There is plenty of hype built up around Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. But if you needed another reason to get excited about this game, it looks like a lot more care and effort went into side content. We’re getting this next installment to the Final Fantasy VII remake in February of next year. As a result, there’s a bit more marketing and interviews popping up about the title and what fans can expect. Recently, Game Informer spoke with some of the folks behind Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. During their conversation, it was unveiled that The Witcher 3 played a significant role in where developers were taking inspiration.
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.
Of the various mini-games in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, some of the most interesting are Queen’s Blood, a collectible card game, and piano playing. While Square Enix offered new details on the latter, including a free play mode, it hasn’t discussed how the CCG works.
Once upon a time, the most important question about a video game was, “When can I get my hands on it?” After all, once we had certain video games, we weren’t afraid to play them over and over again on repeat until we had our next gaming fix. But nowadays, one of the most important questions gamers ask when considering getting a title is, “How long will it take to beat?” Many gamers want long titles with dozens of hours of gameplay and side quests to do. And for those hoping Final Fantasy VII Rebirth would be one such title, you’re in luck because it will be.
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.
If Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth featuring vast amounts of side content and new cities not in the original game isn’t enough, there are also several mini-games to engage in. These include a new collectible card game, Queen’s Blood, and piano playing. Speaking to Game Informer, director Naoki Hamaguchi offered some new details on the two.
The scale of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is pretty absurd, with creative director Tetsuya Nomura promising 100 hours of gameplay. The amount of side content being double that of the main quest is also nuts, as is the 150 GB installation space required for the game. How long does it take to finish the story, though?
While Tekken 8 and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth launch next month, all eyes are arguably on February 2024 when Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth drops. Director Naoki Hamaguchi has revealed a lot about the world, from how it’s a seamless map with the freedom to go anywhere to the sheer amount of side content. In a new preview with Game Informer, he confirmed there would also be new cities to explore that weren’t in the original game.
