News: Get a quick recap of where we are in the Final Fantasy VII Remake journey a few months ahead of the second installment arriving in stores.

Square Enix has just released a “Story So Far” recap video for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. This video will be available to be watched via the game’s main menu when Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is released on February 29, 2024. This refresher video will be narrated by Red XIII, a beast with a flaming tail who offers words of wisdom to Cloud’s party from time to time. Red XIII will recap the events of Final Fantasy VII Remake, the first installment in this Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy.

Additionally, Square Enix released iconic artwork featuring Aerith and the Highwind airship. Other screenshots explore the peaceful town of Kalm, the abandoned Mythril Mine, the summon Kujata, the combat abilities and Synergy Skills of various party members, the Chocoboutique, side characters and much more.

Active and Classic modes return from Final Fantasy VII Remake, allowing players to choose their battle style: fast-paced thrills or more methodical decision-making. Three difficulty settings, including Easy, Normal and the new Dynamic setting, allow further customization for players – both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

A new, standalone adventure set across a vast and vibrant planet, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth sees Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Aerith and Red XIII escape from the dystopian city of Midgar into the wide world beyond. To hunt down Sephiroth, a fallen hero and vengeful swordsman from Cloud’s past, these unlikely heroes join forces with new companions like the spirited ninja operative Yuffie and the wisecracking, feline-shaped robot Cait Sith. Lead these characters into battle and use powerful synergy abilities to overcome their fates. Explore classic locales reimagined in dazzling detail. Encounter dozens of hours of rewarding side quests, fiend hunts, mini-games and rich stories of the planet’s people and cultures.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will arrive on the PlayStation 5 on February 29, 2024. Check out the video below and tell us what you think. Will you be playing it?
