Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth might not have met Square Enix's sales expectations, but the game's producer still says they're satisfied with them.
]]>Final Fantasy 7 Remake, not Rebirth, has a new patch, and it should help you speed through it ahead of the sequel's arrival on PC.
]]>Great news, Final Fantasy 7 fans that have been waiting for Rebirth to come to other platforms, as the JRPG just got a PC release date at The Game Awards.
]]>Unlike Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Rebirth won't be getting any DLC, but it's not like the director isn't doing it just because.
]]>There sure were a lot of mini-games in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, huh? By my count, there are 21 different activities you can experience as Cloud and his company venture out from Kalm and across the planet.
]]>We still don't know what Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 will be called, but Square Enix has at least wrapped up its story.
]]>Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida has shared that Square Enix does still plan to release its games on multiple platforms simultaneously "more and more."
]]>It's still a bit unclear how Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 will end, and the game's producer hasn't made that much clearer in a recent interview.
]]>In a recent interview with the devs behind the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy, the game's director expressed some bold feelings about the third and final part.
]]>Couldn't put Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's excellent card game Queens Blood down? Bad news, as it's coming back "even better" in the next entry.
]]>Hi. There's an expansion coming out this week. It's called Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree and you probably haven't heard much about it. Anyway, within a day of the reviews of it coming out ahead of its arrival on June 21, it's casually become the highest rated game of 2024 and the highest rated DLC ever among critics on Metacritic.
]]>Square Enix has released its financial report for the 2023 fiscal year, and it looks like all of its major games have fallen below sales expectations. Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, Final Fantasy 16, and Foamstars didn't meet established sales targets - with few sales figures shared across the board. Alongside this the company is shifting to focus away from mobile, pushing to bring games to Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and PC.
]]>Ever since Final Fantasy 7 Remake came out, and it became clear that the project was less of a beat-for-beat remake and more of a reimagining/ pseudo-sequel, there's been one question on everyone's mind, about a particularly important moment from the original: will they dress up Red XIII in a Shinra uniform still? Sorry, what's that - the big thing everyone was wondering about was whether Aerith would die or not? Yeah, sure, I guess I was wondering that too.
]]>Square Enix's Final Fantasy 7 Remake project has one more entry on the way, and it might not take as long to make as you might think.
]]>Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has received a small patch fixing the menu for the final boss' death screen, and I am overwhelmed with joy and jealousy.
]]>When you look at everything that came after it, the original Kingdom Hearts sits in a bit of a weird place compared to the rest of the series. It's the first game in a long-running series that didn't entirely know what was coming next, and from its sequel Chain of Memories onwards the vibes were completely different. I still love it a lot, it's as equally charming as it is frustrating, and because it's so different from the rest of them it feels special.
]]>Struggling to get that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth platinum trophy? You're not the only one, as a bug is preventing a particular trophy from registering.
]]>For the most part, I do generally like it when video games are good, a statement that I don't think is particularly controversial. Good games equals a good time! What's there to lose! But these days, I feel like there are a lot of "good" games, rather than good. Do you know what I mean? No, of course not, that's nonsense, so let me explain. Let's take a game like Marvel's Spider-Man. It's a "good" game, the quotation marks there because by all accounts, it's competent in what it does, the swinging feels tight, and the combat can occasionally even be fun. The problem is that it feels a touch too polished - there's nothing overly wrong with it, but there's nothing exceptionally right either.
]]>Arguing over who Cloud ends up with is a tale as old as time, but the voice actor behind Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Aerith has her own take on the debate.
]]>Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is full of easter eggs and references, but there's one in particular that its devs included despite not knowing its origin.
]]>The logic behind splitting a game like Final Fantasy 7 Remake always made sense. Fans may not have loved it, but it always tracked. The original FF7 is absolutely massive. It burns through areas at a rate of knots. In a faithful remake, some zones that would take artists months to build would only be seen by the player for a handful of minutes.
]]>Final Fantasy is an anthology series of sorts: narratively speaking, the majority of FF games are standalone experiences with a unique set of locations and characters. There are a handful of recurring elements and themes, but for the most part, each new Final Fantasy saga starts from scratch in a brand new world. And that’s a huge part of the charm.
]]>There are many places across both Remake and Rebirth that you can point to this sort of thing; a place where the new games lack the bite of the original.
]]>Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, commended by critics and players alike for its detailed, seamless open-world formula, is something the game’s producer said would not have been possible had the team focused on developing the game as a multiplatform project.
]]>In general, I'm not really a big fan of remakes, with the main reason being that a lot of games that get the remake treatment were always good. I'm always going to be in favour of ports above all else, or maybe a remaster as long as they don't change too much, because it's so difficult to play so many older games now. Final Fantasy 7 Remake, though… that one threw a spanner in the works. Remake by name, but not quite in practice, it's a game that's more a reimagining of the original seminal title.
]]>Last week, when I booted up Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth for the first time, I already knew I was going to like it at the very least. I loved Remake, and unless something went seriously wrong I had no reason to believe that would be any different for Rebirth. And you know what? It's a bit of a stunner, isn't it? The combat feels even better than the first game, there's silly mini-games galore, and it's gorgeous too. Most surprisingly of all, though, is the character relationships.
]]>Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is finally in players' hands, though some aren't happy with the game's performance mode - thankfully, it sounds like a patch is on the way to fix it.
]]>When I think about it, the original Final Fantasy 7 was probably the first game I ever played with ‘dating sim’ elements. Back in the late 90s, I was yet to play Persona, and wasn’t yet a PC gamer, so I was yet to discover the stripe of CRPGs that preceded the dating-mad shenanigans of the likes of Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
]]>Finding Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Moogle medals feels like solving a rather vague riddle at first. You need the special items to trade for rare goods, but Rebirth doesn’t point out where to actually find them. It’s worth going out of your way to stock up on Moogle medals, though. Once your Moogle Emporium level is high enough, you can trade your medals for some excellent loot.
]]>Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Queens Blood is deeper than you might expect from an optional card game, and the comparatively sparse tutorial - and high learning curve - mean it's a bit overwhelming to just dive right in. It takes a little while to get the hang of the rules, and once you understand what to do, the real fun comes from figuring out which cards work together and building strategies around them.
]]>How to get Golden Plumes in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is something you’ll want to figure out quickly if you’re keen to ride around on more than just your average chocobo. Golden Plumes are a special currency with one purpose – getting fancy chocobo cosmetics. You’ll need a lot of them for some of the most visually appealing outfits, but there’s a straightforward way of getting them, though it takes a bit of exploration.
]]>The Best Games Ever podcast is a game show where three regular panellists have to find the best game in a weirdly specific category such as "Best game with a named horse", or "Best game with a terrible British accent". They have to pitch their pick to our host, Jim, who then decides the winner. But there's a lot of office politics, backstabbing, and meta-gaming going on which makes this mild-mannered panel game fraught with real danger.
]]>The latest patch for Final Fantasy 7 Remake has changed the English version of the iconic final line Aerith delivers in the game, and, naturally, that tweak has left a lot of FF fans scratching their heads.
]]>In the original Final Fantasy 7, a beloved character dies in the most brutal of ways. Half an hour later, you’re snowboarding.

However - if you have managed to miss it - you may want to stay away. This trailer, while interesting, is rich with spoilers and key moments that may be better appreciated on your initial playthrough.
]]>There are few individual sequences in video game history that are as famed - and as important - as Final Fantasy 7’s ‘Nibelheim Flashback’. When you think about what this sequence accomplishes, it’s pretty heady. It sets up the stakes of FF7’s genre-defining narrative, solidifies an all-time iconic villain, has some incredible technological execution (for the time), and also creates one of the most enduring single images in gaming history. Basically, it’s important.
]]>Next week we're getting an in-depth look at Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and it seems like a demo could be dropping soon after.

]]>In a recent interview, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth leads Tetsuya Nomura and Yoshinori Kitase shared their feelings on the term JRPG, both having different perspectives on it.
]]>Like many of you probably are, I’m still surprised that Final Fantasy 7 Remake ever saw the light of day, given how it seemed like it had been in development hell since Square showed that old demo of the original Midgar intro running on PS3 spec hardware. 1000 lifetimes ago in video game terms. I’m even more surprised, frankly, that we’re seeing Part II, Rebirth, within a decade of the first instalment.
