The main artwork for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth features Cloud Strife, Sephiroth and Zack Fair, each with their own colour schemes.
Tetsuya Nomura assures that by the time the entire trilogy is wrapped up, it will "link up" with the animated movie.
Creative director Tetsuya Nomura says players will "get to know more about him and dig deeper” with these "new episodes."
While plans could change later, the follow-up to Final Fantasy 7 Remake doesn't have any DLC planned, per Square Enix's Tetsuya Nomura.
An additional storyline to the main quest, which serves as the "starting point to travel around the world", will also be available.
The Grasslands are another area full of mini-games for players to experience in the sequel and span about two kilometers.
Director Naoki Hamaguchi reveals that players can explore a "fairly wide, expansive area" from the start, with more areas opening up.
Since the fan-favorite character appears at the backend of the original story, he won't be playable in the upcoming remake.
While players must install content from both discs on the console, there won't be any swapping, with only one required for playing.
The follow-up to Square Enix's Final Fantasy 7 Remake is out on February 29th, 2024, for PS5 and will ship on two Blu-ray discs.
The action RPG sequel's Deluxe Edition will retail for $99.99, while the Collector's Edition is priced at $349.99.
"We’ve also expanded the variety of musical genres this time around, so I think there will be plenty to enjoy," said music supervisor Keiji Kawamori.
The action RPG sequel's PlayStation 5 exclusivity window will end on May 29, 2024, Square Enix has confirmed.
Players can discover "different and exciting experiences" while exploring, like "new stories, battles, and mini-games to play."
Players will encounter "lots of unique games and challenges that appear as part of the side stories you can find as you explore the world map."
Creative director Tetsuya Nomura also confirmed accompanying characters who won't become party members until the next game.
Alongside the recent trailer, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's producer, creative director and director have revealed more details about the game.
The second instalment in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy has a release date, along with plenty of new footage in a new trailer.
The sequel allegedly features zones like Final Fantasy 16 but "smaller," and fans can "kiss the original story completely goodbye."
The long-awaited follow-up in the Remake saga will ship on two discs, as Cloud and company explore the world outside Midgar.
