It looks like we’re one step closer to Sailor Barret. In an interview with SaudiGamer, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Director Naoki Hamaguchi opened up about the game’s costumes. He confirmed that the title will offer “different costumes than the original” and that players can put on all costumes in a “specific area of the game.”
You can read his full quote below (translated by @DENGOJIN):
“Remake had different outfits for Tifa and Aerith (and Cloud). Any chance we’ll be able to acquire similar outfits in Rebirth and switch between them?
There are playable scenes in the main story where you can wear different costumes than in the original. In addition, there is also a specific area of the game where it is possible to change into any of the costumes you have collected. However, we have made sure that the immersion is not broken for players experiencing this game for the first time from costumes not matching up with where the characters are the story.”
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Due Out 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.
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 Edition, Deluxe Edition, and Collector’s Edition are available to pre-order now.
