The Final Fantasy VII Rebirth playable demo comes with some evident visual issues, especially in Performance Mode, but it seems like low resolution is not what is causing everything to look so blurry. Commenting on the demo's visual issues on X/Twitter, Digital Foundry's John Linneman said that the game has some pretty surprising and serious issues. Alongside some Unreal Engine 4 baggage, the second entry in the trilogy suffers from some strange design choices regarding how assets are jammed together.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's ending is going to have a different impact than Remake's ending, according to the game's Creative Director. Speaking with Japanese publication Automaton, as translated by @aitaikimochi on X/Twitter, Creative Director Tetsuya Nomura commented on the game's ending, saying that it will have a rather different impact on players than Remake's ending, which was created to surprise the audience. As he doesn't really have a good read on how the audience will react, he is way more nervous this time about its reception. This seems to hint, once again, at the ultimate fate of a certain character, […]

The news came directly from Representative Director and President Takashi Kiryu, who spoke at the financial results briefing for analysts held on Monday.

In less than four weeks, players will be able to play through the second entry in the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy on PlayStation. Rebirth does away with the PlayStation 4 release, something that players would have expected after Remake Intergrade and the introduction of Yuffie Kisaragi was exclusive to the latest Sony console generation.

During our preview event, Square-Enix allowed us free reign to explore […]

According to the details, players will be able to step into the shoes of Cloud or Sephiroth during the Nibelheim episode. The download button for the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth demo might look already active, but Wario64 said it actually downloads the original Final Fantasy VII right now, so you'd better hold on. The State […]
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's file size is going to be absolutely humongous, which is not that surprising for a game that is being released on two discs. As reported by PlayStation Game Size on X/Twitter, the second part of the remake trilogy will be 145.250 GB big in its 1.001.000 version, so the file size could be even bigger if the game is updated before launch. Users will have two days to pre-load the game, as pre-loading will begin on February 27th. 🚨 FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH - 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐒𝐢𝐳𝐞 : 145.250 GB- 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 : 1.001.000 - 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 ($𝟲𝟵.𝟵𝟵):Pre-Load […]
