As today's audiences look for more value in the $70 or so they spend on today's biggest titles, an interesting question has emerged: "does insert game here have a New Game Plus mode?
The said gameplay mode, which has become a catch all term for a feature where players can replay the game from the start while retaining their progress (well, at least some of them) from their first playthrough, has become somewhat of a necessity these days, especially for a AAA game.
Thus, the question was once again raised when Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth came out on the PlayStation 5 on February 29.
Well, you'll be glad to know that FF7 Rebirth indeed has a New Game Plus mode, albeit with a unique twist that diverges from traditional iterations of the feature. This mode is only accessible after players complete the main storyline, which on its own is a massive endeavor, potentially spanning 50 to 60 hours or more, depending on engagement with side activities and exploration.
