During today’s State of Play, Square Enix revealed a plethora of new gameplay footage for the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and announced that a free demo for the title is now available for download.
The demo features the Nibelheim flashback with playable Cloud and Sephiroth. Further, between now and Rebirth’s release, the team will add a portion of the Junon region to the demo on February 21, 2024. “The Junon area featured in this demo has been altered to make the content more compact, so progress cannot be carried over to the full game.”
Still, those who complete the demo will receive the Kupo Charm and Survival Set, as well as the option to skip the Nibelheim portion from the demo in the full game.
You can download the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth demo via PSN.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the sequel to the first entry in this ongoing Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy effort. This new entry is far more ambitious than the first, set to occur until The Forgotten Capital from the original game.
Players can look forward to playable Cait Sith and Red XIII, with Vincent also revealed, though not extensively. Gold Saucer will be a prominently featured location with plenty of minigames.
Speaking of, the Junon infiltration minigame has been significantly enhanced, with Cloud directing soldiers to form specific compositions. Further, Sephiroth will be playable during the Nibelheim flashback. Combat has undergone a shakeup, with new synergy attacks utilizing multiple party members, and Red XIII has a unique revenge gauge mechanic.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is coming to PlayStation 5 on February 29, 2024. Final Fantasy VII Remake is available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.
