The new Final Fantasy goes beyond what it presents to players, who will have to do their homework in order to enjoy everything it offers
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is one of the most anticipated games of 2024, but despite all the hype surrounding the launch, the title still requires some preparation in order to take advantage of everything it has to offer. Basically, players need to do their homework before embarking on Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith’s new journey against Sephiroth.

Precisely because this is the central chapter of a trilogy, players will have to be aware of what came before as well as prepare to understand some changes made by the Square Enix within the history and logic of this universe itself. Just like it happened with FF7 remakeIn 2020, even longtime fans of the classic RPG will have to get used to some new ideas, concepts, and directions.
We have already played the game and give you some information on what you need to look for before starting your campaign and fully understanding the big mess created by Naoki Hamaguchi, Tetsuya Nomura AND Yoshinori Kitase prepared for players.
3. It still doesn’t tell the whole story
The renovation project Final Fantasy7 was highly anticipated by fans, who saw the first part of it released for PS4 in 2020. However, it was already quite clear that the work of adapting the entire Square Enix game would be long, since it only covered the initial part of the plot.
With FF7 Rebirth, the company covers another considerable part of the story, however, it left a good portion of it for the final chapter. The new game coming soon PlayStation 5 February 29th begins after Cloud and company leave Midgar, as we saw in the previous game. And we already know that it extends to a crucial point in the entire plot, but still far from its conclusion.
In September 2023, Yoshinori Kitase revealed that despite some changes, the game’s plot arrives at the temple of the Ancients, concluding the story at a very important moment. If you played the original game, you know exactly what he’s talking about, just as you know that there’s still a lot to explore in the third game, which doesn’t have a release date.
2. You need to play the Remake first
Even following the history of Final Fantasy7 original, which could improve the experience, perhaps the best solution is to focus on just playing remake released in 2020. While it is very interesting to know what will happen, Rebirth it takes some unexpected turns, which make more sense if you only have the first part in mind.
Therefore, do not revisit the original game and see what remake how a completely new version of the story can be a good way to make the experience more complete, as strange as it may seem. As we said in our review, FF7 Rebirth expands several elements of the original game, as expected, so paying more attention to the remake project and avoiding comparing everything to the 1997 title might be the best way out.
This doesn’t mean invalidating what we know about the original game, but being open to understanding (and accepting) that it is a reinterpretation. From the 2020 game, it’s clear that the ideal is to let go of preciousness and nostalgia, embracing the idea that we’re watching another version of the classic.
Likewise, those who didn’t play Final Fantasy 7 Remake should avoid leaving Rebirth only with the information and memories you have of the FF7 of the Playstation. The changes that already appeared in the first part and the others that unfold in the new game require this very specific context.
Rebirth It also features a short summary of the previous game in the main menu, but playing it in its entirety will give players the best experience.
1. Chase Crisis Core
Square Enix hasn’t tried to hide Zack Fair’s importance Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, placing the character on the game’s cover, alongside Cloud and Sephiroth. SOLDIER played a role in the story of the original game, but gained greater importance years later with the release of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7for the PSP.
In this game Zack has a protagonist role, showing his past and his relationships with Sephiroth, Cloud and Aerith. For years, the title was stuck on the PSP, but between the release of FF7 remake AND FF7 Rebirtha remaster has arrived on PC, Xbox one, Xbox Series S/X, PS4, PS5 and NintendoSwitch.
The timing of the release already made clear the importance that Zack’s past would have in the new game. Not to mention the final scene of remakewhich already touches on many things that the fans themselves already knew and which will certainly put many doubts in the minds of those who are arriving now.
So if you want to get started Rebirth understanding who all the characters are, it might be a good idea to chase them Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion. Another tip that can help you, although it requires a little more effort, is to check out the mobile game Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis, which was released for Android and iOS and serves as a great updated version of the classic game role. It doesn’t change much in the story, but it creates some connections that don’t exist in the PlayStation game that are useful in the new version.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will be released for PS5 on February 29th.
