Square Enix has today released the “Story So Far”, a recap video for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. The video will be included via the game’s main menu, but is also available now for those who simply can’t wait.

The forthcoming Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a new, standalone adventure set across a vast and vibrant planet. The game sees Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Aerith and Red XIII escape from the dystopian city of Midgar into the wide world beyond. Together, they hunt down Sephiroth, a fallen hero and vengeful swordsman from Cloud’s past. Along the way these unlikely heroes join forces with new companions, like the spirited ninja operative Yuffie and the wisecracking, feline-shaped robot Cait Sith.

In Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, players will 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.

The refresher video is narrated by Red XIII. The infamous a beast with a flaming tail is a good storyteller, it seems. He offers words of wisdom to Cloud’s party from time to time recaps the events of the previous title. Final Fantasy VII Remake, the first installment in the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy VII remake project, was the first in a planned trilogy.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will see the return Active and Classic modes return from Final Fantasy VII Remake. This allows 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 customisation for players.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will debut on 29th February, 2024. The game will be available exclusively for the PlayStation 5. A number of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth pre-order bonuses are currently being offered at various retailers.
