Just in case you weren’t aware, today marks the launch day for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth—a game I absolutely love and plan to dedicate dozens more hours to in pursuit of a Platinum trophy. Rebirth is the second installment in the Final Fantasy VII remake project, which will eventually comprise three games. It reimagines the classic 1997 story, celebrated for its storyline, characters, and cutscenes—elements that were truly remarkable at the time. The classic has sold over 14.4 million copies worldwide, while Final Fantasy VII Remake, launched in 2020, has sold over seven million units since its release.
In my Final Fantasy VII Rebirth review, I found the game to be a beautiful and emotional reimagining of a classic story, weaving a tale in a way only a Final Fantasy game can: with stunning visuals, an unforgettable soundtrack, and just the right amount of charming cheesiness.
To celebrate the launch, head over to Google and search “Final Fantasy VII” for a fun surprise—that is, if you can tear yourself away from your PlayStation controller.
