Cosmo Canyon. Nibelheim. Dolphin racing. Vincent Valentine. A one-winged Sephiroth. Marlene’s dad Dyne. Mini-game after mini-game after mini-game to play. “The world will likely be saved, however will you?” asks the sport’s trailer, with virtually zero subtlety that the occasions of this sport will decide Aerith’s notorious destiny.
Closing Fantasy VII Rebirth is coming February twenty ninth, and each Sony and Sq. Enix wish to make rattling positive that followers know this sport is a can’t-miss occasion — although it’s not the conclusion to the remake of Closing Fantasy VII and may have one other sport following it.
However as an enormous fan of the unique PS1 title who initially held out on taking part in Remake for that cause, I’ve gotta say the 15-plus minutes of video that Sony and Sq. Enix launched at this time go away me fairly excited. An enormous world map with all these places and mini-games and moments I bear in mind! New companions and tag-team assaults like Cait Sith spinning round with Cloud’s sword! Traditional blocky characters! 400 newly recorded items of Closing Fantasy music! 4K graphics or 60fps, with higher-resolution belongings than Remake because of the PS5’s SSD!
Did they actually cram this a lot right into a single sport? I assume we’ll see in three weeks — or possibly beginning at this time now {that a} playable demo has arrived. Then once more when Sq. Enix updates that demo to incorporate a few of the Junon area!
They’re working laborious to persuade us.
