2020 had started out with the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake, and almost half a decade later, Square Enix is now ready to release their follow-up—Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
The game has been undergoing its final marketing push, with the release of all these reviews, but PlayStation has now given us their final trailer for the game. Check this out:
The Unknown Journey Continues…
After escaping from the mako powered city of Midgar, Cloud and his friends have broken the shackles of fate and set out on a journey into untracked wastelands. New adventures await in a vast and multifaceted world, sprinting across grassy plains on a Chocobo and exploring expansive environments.
The story pretty much picks up where Remake left off, with Cloud and friends off to the desert to have all new kinds of adventures. We should expect to meet some more familiar characters from the FFVII lore, and then some.
One of the biggest hooks of this Remake franchise is that it will likely tell a different story from the one that was told in the original FFVII—which prominently features the death of one of the game’s main waifus. But even if the story could change, is the game really going to allow players to rewrite the timeline?
This is just the second game in a planned trilogy, so we don’t know where they plan to end things with this one; but I am eager to see Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and the rest go through some new adventures with some familiar faces along the way.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth launches for the PlayStation 5 on Feb. 29.
