Los Angeles, CA – Final Fantasy fans have something to be excited about as the highly anticipated Final Fantasy VII Rebirth demo is now live on PSN. This PlayStation 5-exclusive demo was announced during the Final Fantasy VII-focused State of Play stream and will allow players to experience the opening moments of Rebirth, featuring Cloud and Sephiroth as playable characters in the well-known Nibelheim flashback chapter.
A direct sequel to 2020’s Final Fantasy VII Remake, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth continues the story after Cloud and his companions escape from the city of Midgar. The demo not only delves into Cloud’s mysterious backstory, but also showcases some of Rebirth’s new combat mechanics.
In terms of combat, Rebirth retains the same core mechanics as Remake, allowing players to freely move and attack in battle. However, Rebirth introduces newer mechanics such as Synergy Abilities, which are unique combo attacks and maneuvers that can be executed once two characters have their gauges filled.
The demo also offers a taste of what’s to come in the full game, which is set to launch exclusively for PS5 on February 29. With a 40-hour campaign, a large, explorable world map, and brand new locations, Final Fantasy fans can expect an immersive and thrilling gaming experience.
Overall, the release of the demo has reignited excitement for the upcoming full game, promising an epic and unforgettable journey for players.
