    Update: 

    During Tokyo Game Show, Director Naoki Hamaguchi said the following about the date sequence (Thanks, @xenosaga7 for the translation):

    “Date episode is in Rebirth, of course. With whom you can date, that would be a spoiler. But the date is not restricted to the opposite sex, right? We built a lot of things into this.”

    Discover a vibrant and vast world in this standalone entry in the Final Fantasy VII remake project.

    Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the second entry in the Final Fantasy VII remake project, which retells the story of the genre-redefining RPG across three distinct games.

    Iconic heroes Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Aerith and Red XIII have escaped from the dystopian city Midgar and are now in pursuit of Sephiroth, the vengeful swordsman from Cloud’s past who was thought to be dead.
