With Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth finally upon us, producer and Zelda fan Yoshinori Kitase says he can at last finish Tears of the Kingdom

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is finally launching tomorrow, which has given producer Yoshinori Kitase some time to catch up on his backlog, namely The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Kitase spoke at some length about his long history as a video game enjoyer in an interview with BAFTA. His passion for games began with the arcade version of Space Invaders, which he first played around the age of 10. However, the title that got Kitase into games more "seriously" was the original Legend of Zelda, and he's still playing the newest game in the series almost four decades later.
"I like the whole series," he said. "I don't think I've played every single one of the spinoffs and everything, but I definitely play most of them, including the latest, Tears of the Kingdom. I actually got right up into the end of it, but unfortunately my work on Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth got really busy right at that point, and I've kind of had it on hold since then."
Presumably, with the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth release time upon us, Kitase can now cross the finish line in the latest Zelda epic.
In terms of modern games, Kitase also said he's been playing Pikmin 4 for the second time. "There are still things I haven't done yet, so I really want to go through and get everything," he said, adding later that his favorite video game characters are indeed the plant-like beings from Pikmin. "I like the way that they just die really quickly when they're on their own, but they can come together as a group and try hard to achieve things."
Kitase also mentioned Alone in the Dark as a game that "left a huge impression" on him, Glory of Heracles 3 as a game whose story he admires, Hearts of Iron 4 as a game with mechanics he enjoys, and more generally, "games where you command massive legions of troops in real time."
Oops, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's physical edition discs have shipped with a massive printing error in Japan.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: How To Unlock The Gilgamesh Summon Materia
The ultimate challenge in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is Gilgamesh — the mysterious being from another world menaces Cloud and company throughout the game if you tackle the many Protorelic quests. Finishing those quests unlocks the hidden Gilgamesh Island where you’ll face off against some of the toughest battles in the entire game. I recommend waiting until you’ve finished the story before even thinking about taking on the bosses on Gilgamesh Island.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s Open World Wouldn’t be Seamless if it Was Multiplatform, Producer Says
There’s a lot to love about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and its open world setting is surely high on that list. On top of being massive and incredibly varied across its many different regions, the entire map is also entirely seamless, which means you’re never hit with a loading screen when traveling from one area to the next (unless, of course, you’re fast traveling). Interestingly, however, according to producer Yoshinori Kitase, the game’s open world design wouldn’t have been quite so impressive if it hadn’t been developed as a platform-exclusive title.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: Queen’s Blood tips and tricks
After Fort Condor arrived in Final Fantasy 7: Remake Intergrade, you may not have expected an entirely new minigame to be introduced in Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth. However, after the opening hours, when you’re let loose in Kalm, you will automatically be given your very first deck of Queen’s Blood cards. While this minigame is entirely optional after you play your first game to learn the basics, you would be missing out on a ton of content and secrets, let alone fun, by ignoring it. Still, we understand if you feel you didn’t sign up for a strange new card game in your Final Fantasy adventure. Plus, there is a lot more depth to the game than is properly explained. If you want to rise up the ranks and be a Queen’s Blood champion, but are unsure how to start, we’ll show you the ropes.
