Nomura States His Role “Hasn’t Changed Much” between Remake & Rebirth

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.

This new adventure can be enjoyed by all players, even those who have yet to play Final Fantasy VII Remake or the PlayStation original. Expect a new standard of cinematic storytelling, fast-paced combat and rich exploration across a vast world.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will launch exclusively for PlayStation 5 on February 29, 2024. The game will not come to other platforms for some time after launch. 

Should You Play Final Fantasy VII Remake Before Rebirth?

Yes, you should play Final Fantasy VII Remake before trying this new title. While Square Enix claims you can play it standalone, you should not. 2020’s FF7R features critical points of the story as well as introductions to characters. So, unless you want to be blindsided by 30 hours of character interactions, you should play Remake before Rebirth.

Where Will Final Fantasy VII Rebirth End?
