As fans count the days to the release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Square Enix continues to feed them with details about the upcoming sequel. As part of its routinary marketing strategy, Square Enix has released a new trailer. The video isn’t packed with new information. Rather, it’s a recap of the story from the previous installment, Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
The three-minute trailer offers a brief yet effective catch-up for longtime fans and newcomers alike, summarizing events from the first game of the planned RPG trilogy remake.
FF7 Remake is based off the events of the first disc of the original 1997 title. The entire game is set in the City of Mako, Midgard. The game follows the intense conflicts between the Shinra Electric Power Company and Avalanche, a guerilla rebel group fighting for the planet’s future. The game delves into the complexities of these struggles, paving the way for the next installment, FF7 Rebirth, which opens the entire world for you to explore. The sequel continues the journey of Cloud and his allies as they embark on a new adventure across the planet, promising expansive and lively new worlds.
As previously mentioned, FF7 Rebirth is part of the larger FF7 Remake Trilogy. It will be available exclusively for PS5. It’s a third-person action-adventure RPG from Square Enix that promises to offer an immersive experience for both long-time fans and new players. The game will explore what lies beyond the city of Midgar, taking players into a broader world filled with new challenges and adventures.
For those eager to dive into the story immediately, Square Enix offers an economical pre-order option for a Twin Pack containing both FF7 Rebirth and FF7 Remake Intergrade. This package includes the expanded and visually enhanced version of the first game in the series, along with the additional Yuffie DLC, providing a comprehensive experience of the story thus far.
With that said, the recap trailer focuses mainly on the central storyline of FF7 Remake, highlighting the party’s intense battles against Shinra and the emergence of Sephiroth. While it doesn’t delve deeply into side characters and subplots, it sets the stage for the journey that will unfold in FF7 Rebirth. The game’s narrative, while following the core plot points of the original Final Fantasy VII, introduces changes that suggest a unique retelling with potentially different outcomes.
Between Zack’s emergence, Aerith’s potentially changed fate, and Cloud’s impending identity crisis, FF7 Rebirth’s recap trailer serves as an excellent primer for both returning players and those new to the series, setting the stage for what is sure to be an epic adventure.
