I spent many hours leveling up Cloud and firm in Closing Fantasy 7 Remake and had a blast doing so. With the improved graphics and the brand new combating engine, the remake is certainly one of my prime video games obtainable on PlayStation. Plus seeing its story in a brand new gentle is past memorable. On the twenty fifth anniversary celebration, Closing Fantasy Model Supervisor and Government Producer Yoshinori Kitase mentioned “Because the announcement of Closing Fantasy 7 Remake mission, we have now mentioned that it will play out over a number of elements, however I can now announce that the whole mission will likely be a three-part sequence made up of Closing Fantasy 7 Remake, Closing Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and one remaining title.”
It was an exhilarating announcement. The unique model of the sport was a bit below 40 hours lengthy and unfold out over three discs. Taking the remake and spreading its story out over three enormous video games permits for Sq. Enix to imbue the trilogy with as a lot goodness from the unique (and further stuff) as they will. It’ll assist every half really feel distinctive, and never power Sq. Enix to chop sure missions, facet quests, or cutscenes attributable to time and price range.
It’s stunning to see Rebirth popping out as quickly as it’s (late 2023 – early 2024). A part of me felt that the event cycle of Closing Fantasy 16 would push it again a bit, to not point out the attainable sheer measurement of Rebirth.

Making the mission a trilogy permits Sq. Enix to flesh out every character and spend the right period of time to construct relationships between the characters, which is such a giant a part of what made Closing Fantasy 7 Remake so memorable. The fight is super, but it surely’s the human factor and bonds inside the sport that makes me wish to replay it again and again.
Spending three years to make Rebirth works. Sq. Enix is aware of that Closing Fantasy 7 is the crown jewel and fan-favorite within the sequence, and that it might want to take its time, guarantee its conclusion suits correctly, and that nothing in it feels rushed or unfinished. Three years doesn’t really feel too quickly in-between elements as a result of this enables for a sure size and a part of the sport’s story to be targeted on.
The story of the remake is vastly totally different to the unique, however we do know is that Rebirth will happen after the occasions of Intergrade, as we see Zack and Cloud are collectively. However might we be combating alongside Sephiroth in Rebirth as nicely? Within the reveal trailer, we see him and Cloud in-game strolling facet by facet, in addition to the textual content “What’s reality, what’s fiction?” Might this imply we get to really play as Sephiroth… even only for a bit bit… please?
Probably. With this now being a trilogy and its story diverging from the unique sport, something is feasible.
Regardless of the case, we have now to attend till subsequent winter to search out out. Outdoors of the event of the sport, I might not be shocked to see Sony make it a part of a bundle, and even as a part of a twin pack with Remake. What do you hope to see within the subsequent two elements? Let’s trade theories!
