Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's producer knows fans want to see "one scene" in particular, and we've got a pretty good idea of which scene they're talking about.
Yesterday on September 14 debuted a brand new PlayStation State of Play showcase, and with a new trailer for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. After the trailer, producer Yoshinori Kitase published the message below, acknowledging that the developers know "fans are dying to see one scene in particular."

The question is: what scene is Kitase on about? It could well be the Gold Saucer 'date' scene from the original Final Fantasy 7, where Cloud would go on a date with either Tifa, Aerith, Yuffie, or Barrett, depending on the player's interactions with them. Yesterday's trailer confirmed that the Golden Saucer is a big part of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, after all.
However, creative director Tetsuya Nomura paints another possibility. In a new interview with the PlayStation Blog after the trailer, the director confirmed that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will extend all the way up to 'The Forgotten Capital' part of the original game.
"Although there are some changes in the order of the locations, the locations depicted in this title extend up to 'The Forgotten Capital,' where the greatest fate of Final Fantasy VII awaits you," Nomura teased. Veteran Final Fantasy 7 players will know exactly what scene Nomura is on about here, and it's one that we won't spoil for newcomers who haven't yet experienced the original storyline.
Suffice it to say, that it's a scene that changes the entire trajectory of the original Final Fantasy 7. Obviously, Rebirth looks to have significant story changes from the original game - Nomura also revealed Wutai won't be a part of Rebirth - so we aren't quite sure whether the iconic scene will play out exactly as it did in the original game.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launches next year on February 29, 2024. The new trailer also confirmed that fan-favorite Vincent Valentine is back for the second part of the remake trilogy, and it looks like we'll be waking him up in much the same manner that we did in 1997.
Naoki Hamaguchi, lead director of the new game, promised Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth boasts nearly 100 hours of gameplay .

If PlayStation UK's provocative advertisement for Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Collector's Edition wasn't enough to entice, maybe Square Enix has the goods to loosen those purse strings. Now available for preorder, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's Collector's Edition comes with some tantalising extras, including a girthy bust of the long boy himself: Sephiroth, the One-Winged Angel (the wing is detachable).
Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has received new gameplay and details thanks to various hands-on impressions over the past few days. However, the development team hosted a stage event at Tokyo Game Show 2023 to show off even more, from The Grasslands and its mini-games to more combat. You can also check out more gameplay courtesy of Famitsu below.
Square Enix showcased over 30 minutes of gameplay footage and a new trailer for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth focused on mini-games playable in the Grasslands during its Tokyo Game Show 2023 stage event.
Fans have been pleading for years, hoping that Square Enix would provide a remake of the beloved Final Fantasy VII video game. This title launched back on the original PlayStation. Of course, we now know this remake was finally put into production, but it won’t be a complete experience with just one game. In fact, the first part of the remake has already been published, and you can enjoy it right now. However, if you’ve already played the first game in the remake collection for Final Fantasy VII, your eyes might be set on that next installment, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
After playing Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for the first time (check out my full impressions here), I then spoke with director Naoki Hamaguchi, producer Yoshinori Kitase, and creative director Tetsuya Nomura to seek answers to some burning questions. That includes how much narrative ground Rebirth covers, the decision behind splitting it between two discs, and if there’s any form of data transfer between Remake and Rebirth.
Final Fantasy fans are feasting today with the reveal of a new trailer and release date for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth during Sony's State of Play livestream. The follow-up to 2020's Final Fantasy VII Remake and the second part of a planned trilogy, we got a bunch of our burning questions answered; chief amongst them how much of the original game's story will be covered and where the inevitable cutoff point will be.
When and whether other versions will come remains unknown.
One of the things that makes Final Fantasy VII Rebirth interesting in the eyes of fans is that the game is building off of what the original “Remake” title did in 2020. We mean they’re not simply remaking the game graphically from top to bottom. Instead, they’re expanding everything that happens in the story and fleshing out moments and characters so that everything feels more robust and meaningful. The trick is that they’re doing this while also changing key moments in the key and rewriting the fates of known characters and their deaths. That “altering” will continue in the sequel.
Square Enix has confirmed that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will be a PlayStation 5 exclusive for a minimum of three months.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth putting Cloud on a segway is winning the hearts of a lot of fans.
is the second in the trilogy to be announced and is finally on its way with an official release date, a new trailer, and a plethora of impressive items in the Collector's Edition pre-order. The upcoming RPG appears to pick up directly where ended, and developers say it will have around 100 hours of gameplay to experience. This second installment will include a deep narrative to follow the adventures of the first in the trilogy, as well as fun mini-games and a large and expansive overworld to explore.
