Final Fantasy VII Rebirth - Moonface - Jun 8th, 2023
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth | Launches Early 2024
During today's Summer Game Fest presentation a new trailer was shown for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the next game in the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy:
Furthermore, the game will be releasing in Early 2024 only on PlayStation 5, and will be on two discs.

Ah, two discs, slight nostalgia coming back from when games used to require two discs. Did Part 1 have two discs, I forget? This is looking huge, haven't seen it yet on max resolution, but the visuals are looking brilliant. Know lots of people are hype, well was watching Maximilian during the conference plus his viewers were, heck I was too.

Part 1 did have two discs, but a lot of games at the end of the last generation were moving to two discs due to file sizes. The SSD's in current gen consoles were supposed to help in bringing file sizes down by not requiring assets to be repeated in the game files as the SSD would have read speeds fast enough to just pull from the one location, unlike HDD's that were too slow to do that hence the need to repeat asset files.
The fact this game needs two discs and this early into the current gen makes me wonder if the game is genuinely huge, or if SE just couldn't be bothered to optimize the game files. My bet is on the latter.
That aside, this game looks ridiculously stunning. Sucks that it might require playing through the side campaign that got added to Remake later down the line given the inclusion of the girl from it, but hopefully it doesn't.

It does look freakin' gorgeous. They're bringing to life the parts of the game I remember the most (I played with a friend at their house, but really only remember the outside Midgar stuff) and it really looks like how I'd imagine it would.

Rewatched the trailer, I genuinely forgot all about watching it. Having been rewatching the OG on a stream, I recognize a lot of the scenes remade, like Cloud telling his story of Sephiroth (which, I wonder if we get to play it like in the OG), and what looks to be the Jenova fight post Aerith death.
I wonder if this slice is all they've done, or what else they'll include in this part. Like, we're still on Disc 1 content on this second part of this reboot/reimagining, out of 3 whole discs. These cuts are showing more of the plot-heavy parts but we'll we be seeing dumb shit like the snowboarding, or the digging for the Lunar Harp. I guess they do show what looks to be the Chocobo racing scenes but ;shrug:

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth | Release Date Trailer
A brand-new trailer for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth during today's State of Play has announced that the game will release for PlayStation 5 on February 29, 2024.

Oooooh we get to fight with Sephiroth on our party. Also, Yuffie, Vincent, and Cait Sith: can we just pass on him? And um, where's CId???? He should be in this trailer?? Feels weird not seeing him. Maybe he'll be in the next segment of the game, but I feel like he's missing from this hunk of the game somehow.
RE: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth | Release Date Trailer - ShiraNoMai - Sep 17th, 2023
Yeah Cid and Shera being excluded is a strange choice. They did like, avoid that whole segment so far so it's either in another trailer or in the last part of the game (especially considering the ending sequence of 7).
Also you got to fight alongside Sephiroth in 7, in the flashbacks where Cloud is in soldier training and he goes out on missions with Seph. You're like, a level 1 noob that gets one shot in every battle, meanwhile Sephiroth one shots the enemies you encounter
RE: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth | Release Date Trailer - queenzelda - Sep 17th, 2023
I thought finding Cid was a spoiler? More so since he comes with an airship that the party uses through most of the rest of the title. lol
RE: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth | Release Date Trailer - Moonface - Sep 18th, 2023
I wonder if any of the characters from Part 1 that died in the original game but not in the Remake will show up in this part at all. I would hope they actually get utilized somehow (if not this part then for Part 3) otherwise changing their fates for the Remake would be rather pointless.
RE: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth | Release Date Trailer - queenzelda - Sep 26th, 2023
It just feels odd not seeing ANYTHING in any trailer or media anywhere about Cid and Shera. They should both be somewhere in all the media, more so since we see Vincent and Yuffie. Though I have heard rumors that like Red13, Vincent isn't a playable character yet.
Yep, this twitter post confirms Cid isn't playable. smh

This is a bit of a disappointment, most people who have played the original game will wonder what the hack is going on to exclude having both Cid and Vincent available as characters. Still, it's square's call in the end.
RE: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth | Release Date Trailer - Moonface - Oct 21st, 2023
I'm not versed in the original game but by playable does that mean they were actually the primary controllable character in the OG FF7 or that they could just be party members?
RE: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth | Release Date Trailer - queenzelda - Oct 21st, 2023
They'd be extra party members in the game.

Party members (original FF7 was turn-based with a three-member party), although Vincent is actually an optional character in the original game. You can actually go through the entirety of the game without ever getting him. Yuffie was also an optional party member in the original, and you could skip her as well (she's actually extremely easy to miss for people who don't know about her). Though of course Remake made her a more vital party of the game with Intergrade, and it seems like she'll play a much larger role in this new story line.
I have to wonder if part of the reason they're not having Cid be a playable party member is because they couldn't find a decent way to get him to play. Cid is the "Dragoon" of FFVII, a spear user who has Limit Breaks that resemble a lot of classic FF Dragoon moves (one of his LBs is literally just the Dragoon's iconic "Jump" command). Square definitely lacks the talent to make that kind of a character feel good in a more action based battle system.
Vincent could be because they didn't want to play around with his transformations.
