Hello, this is Haru. Today, I have news about the new chapter of the long-loved Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth . Following the success of the original Final Fantasy 7 Remake, this work expands the legendary story, presents innovative gameplay and a deep story, and provides a new experience for fans.

 

 

1. Game Overview and Background

Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is the second part of the Final Fantasy VII Remake series developed by Square Enix, a work that reinterprets the original story and characters with modern technology. The game expands on the gorgeous graphics and touching story of the previous Remake version, and adds new areas, battle systems, and character growth elements, heralding the rebirth of the legend.

This work has been designed with improved interface and game system to make it more accessible to both original fans and new users, and has introduced free exploration elements such as open worlds so that players can experience the world themselves.

 Square Enix is ​​a global gaming company that has been continuously releasing legendary RPGs since its establishment in 1986, and actively adopts the latest technology to improve the perfection of its games.

In this remake, Square Enix is ​​trying to build on the strengths of its predecessors while also providing fans with a new experience through innovative systems and story development.

2. Story and worldview

The story of Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth follows the flow of the original Final Fantasy VII Remake, but introduces new developments and branching points to add depth. Players will uncover forgotten legends and hidden secrets in a narrative that features returning characters such as Cloud, Sephiroth, and Aerith, along with new characters.

In particular, this work features two opposing worlds unfolding simultaneously, creating a unique worldview that blends elements of the past, present, and future. The story unfolds differently depending on the player’s choices, and a branching narrative system that leads to various endings is introduced, allowing each player to create their own story.

3. Gameplay and combat system

In this remake, you can experience a battle system that has been developed from the previous remake. Real-time action battles and strategic skill combinations are the key elements, and players will experience battles that require quick reactions and precise timing. The new system includes an 'elemental switching' function, allowing you to freely switch between fire, cold, and electricity attributes depending on the specific situation.

In addition, each character's unique skills and customization have been strengthened, allowing players to build their own fighting style. Various combos and strategies can be used in boss battles and group battles, and cooperative play and PvP modes also provide excellent balance and interesting fighting experiences.

Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth uses the latest graphics engine to recreate famous scenes from the original work with greater vividness. With delicate textures, real-time lighting effects, and a variety of colors, you can experience a heavy atmosphere and gorgeous visual effects at the same time.

In terms of sound, the magnificent orchestral background music and the voice acting of each character add to the emotion of the story, and the sound effects during battle and the sound when using magic maximize the player's immersion.
