Final Fantasy fans unite - Square Enix has provided additional details about the highly-anticipated Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, including game size, save files, fan-favorite Vincent Valentine, and more.
It's been a good week for those waiting for the next chapter in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series. Earlier this week, an official Square Enix document on the publisher's website provided an overview of Rebirth, including new combat abilities, open-ended gameplay, and more. Also, as could be read in our hands-on article from yesterday, players can finally play as the main antagonist of the game - Sephiroth himself.
We weren't the only ones to try out Rebirth - GameInformer also had the chance to play the game and spoke with game director Naoki Hamaguchi, producer Yoshinori Kitase, and creative director Tetsuya Nomura. During the interview, some interesting details about the sequel were revealed, including the game's file size, minigames, and how much of Final Fantasy 7's story Rebirth includes. While 2020's Final Fantasy VII Remake wasn't a small game, Rebirth will be huge, weighing in at 150GB on two separate discs. Luckily, players won't have to swap discs (as we were used to in the original 1997 original). "Hamaguchi explains the decision to split Rebirth in this way had less to do with rekindling nostalgia and more as a method to preserve the team’s lofty vision for it", the Gameinformer article reads. "Square had always envisioned Rebirth as a massive, highly detailed world more immersive than Remake’s revamped Midgar. Thus, squeezing it on a single Blu-ray would have forced the designers to scale back on content and ideas, so doubling up on discs became the obvious solution."
