There may be a bit of FOMO for Final Fantasy fans if they’re not jumping into the world of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth — especially if they haven’t played Remake or Interegrade before it. Should you jump right in, or is a marathon of FF7 content recommended? Should You Play Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Before Playing Remake?
The short answer to this question is no, you should not jump into Final Fantasy VII Rebirth before playing Remake, especially if you want to get the whole story up to this point. There is a small story recap that players can view before jumping into the game, but that would be more of a basic recap rather than the whole story. It’s a great way for players who have dove into the Remake to get caught up before starting again, but new players may be missing out on plenty of pivotal plot points that help differentiate the Remake from its original iteration.
