In the lead-up to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s release on February 29, 2024, I was lucky enough to sit down and play through the first four hours of the game, and let me waste no time telling you – it is phenomenal. Final Fantasy VII Remake was my Game of the Year in 2021, and if those first four hours are anything to go by, Rebirth will likely be my GOTY for 2024.
A Whole New World
While I can’t say much about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s first chapter because it’s major spoiler territory, I can tell you that it leads on perfectly from Final Fantasy VII Remake. There’s no slow start here, no catching you up on the events of the first part; you’re expected to know the previous events and dive right in.
