This weekend, Square Enix shared new details surrounding the different regions found in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. These four regions are the Grasslands, Under Junon, Junon, and Gold Saucer. Each of these appeared in the original Final Fantasy VII.
Grasslands
A vast, verdant expanse of land rich with mako. These plains are dotted with smaller outposts and planetary fonts waiting to be discovered. Adventure lies beyond the swamplands, but you’ll need to rent a chocobo from the local ranch if you want to cross.
Under Junon
Former capital of the eponymous republic, this once-bustling port town fell into decline after its destruction at the hands of Shinra. All that remains now is a desolate fishing village where the displaced citizens have taken refuge.
Junon
Previously a beacon of hope and economic prosperity, the former capital of the republic now slumbers beneath the waves. After its takeover, Shinra repurposed the city into its second-largest outpost, a fortified stronghold replete with an underwater reactor.
Gold Saucer
A “gilded paradise” constructed over the Corel Desert, this Shinra-owned facility uses copious amounts of mako to power its state-of-the-art attractions. The park draws in tourists from around the world and keeps them entertained from dawn to dusk to dawn again.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Releases on February 29, 2024
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy VII Remake. It is the second entry in the Remake Project, a collection of three games recreating and reimagining the story and world of Final Fantasy VII. The first game was initially announced at E3 2015 at the Sony Interactive Entertainment’s PlayStation show. Final Fantasy VII Remake then launched worldwide exclusively for PlayStation 4 on April 10, 2020. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, an expanded and enhanced version of the PS4 title, was announced for PlayStation 5 in the following year.
Then, news of the second title was revealed at the Final Fantasy VII 25th Anniversary Stream in June 2022. News went silent until this Summer when a new trailer showcasing the world and gameplay was released at Summer Game Fest. A tremendous amount of information has been confirmed, including confirmation of non-playable Vincent & Cid, a “new episode with Zack,” the file size of the game, and more.
The game will see plenty of more news as we approach launch. So, be sure to stick around for all the latest information.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is set to launch exclusively for PlayStation 5 on February 29, 2024. The title will be exclusive to the platform until May 29, 2024. A standard, deluxe, and collector’s editions are now available for pre-order.
