Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

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.
