Yesterday, Square Enix announced the final release date for Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail, the latest expansion coming to its popular MMORPG. Dawntrail will go live on July 2 on all platforms. Funnily enough, Game Director Naoki Yoshida said it could have launched sooner, but they wanted to give players (and themselves) a bit more space to play Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, which launches on June 21.

Square Enix has released the launch trailer for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which is out worldwide right now. But you don’t necessarily need to watch it – you’re good. After all, you’ve made it this close to launch without spoiling yourself, right?

To be fair, clocking it at a little over 90 seconds – and that’s including the obligatory logos, idents, and other branding paraphernalia – this is not the spoiler-fest we’d expected it to be, although it does show off some summons and scenes you’d probably prefer to preserve for when you’re actually playing. You’ve been warned.
In a message to celebrate the launch, creative director Tetsuya Nomura said, as translated by Gematsu: “For many years, I wondered what a remake of Final Fantasy 7 could look like. Above all else, I felt we would need to do justice to the characters and story that had become so beloved by fans around the world. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth delivers on this vision and vastly expands upon the original title not only in the size of its world, but in the quiet moments shared by party members, where warmth, joy, sorrow, and tenderness can be found.
He added: “As they press on and forge deeper bonds en route to their ultimate fate, I hope you will open your heart to feel these feelings alongside them. As the second title in a trilogy, weʼve enjoyed hearing our fans feedback from the previous title and incorporating elements into Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth for a truly breathtaking follow-up. Thank you for playing our vision for a remake, in which the past is honoured by the possibilities of the present to reimagine a story for future generations.”

I fixed his quote.
@Martijn87 Let me guess: ProfasiaGaming?
@Martijn87 I did a quick search for a recap on YouTube last night just to refresh myself, and even a suggested search looked a bit spoilery… so yep, definitely watch out.
On lighter news… it’s installing now, so here we go!
My copy should be arriving today, can't wait.
My copy just arrived. Very excited.

Crossovers represent a great way to grab attention, however, and this Evangelion content may be the excuse you’ve been looking for to redownload the free-to-play outing.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Review (PS5) | Push Square
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth feels like a natural progression. Free from the steel skies of Midgar and its corridor-style design, this direct sequel to 2020's Final Fantasy 7 Remake fully embraces that sense of adventure found in the original Final Fantasy 7, as Cloud Strife and his ragtag group took their first few steps out onto the sprawling world map. Rebirth goes big in terms of scope and scale — but it doesn't always stick the landing.
