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.
Upon finishing the sequel, the players are prompted to create a new save file. This file, marked with a teal tag indicating "Chapter Selection," acts as the gateway to the New Game Plus experience. It's crucial to note that this file, by itself, doesn't allow for your typical continuation or exploration; it instead redirects players to the main menu, which offers various gameplay options and adjustments.
