Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth gets a February 2024 release date on PS5
The wait is almost over (sort of)! Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth - the second instalment in Square Enix's three-part Final Fantasy 7 remake - will be coming to PlayStation 5 on 29th February next year.
We've had a couple of glimpses of Rebirth since its announcement back in June 2022, and we know it'll unsurprisingly be picking up the story from 2020's Final Fantasy 7 Remake and later InterMISSION DLC - although "preparations" are being made to help you catch up if you can't be bothered to play through either of those beforehand.

They need to stop limiting these games to the PS5 and release them on PC as well, and not 2 years late.
I'm a massive FFVII fan, and that 2 year wait ALMOST lost my interest. I finally picked it up, where it remained the most expensive game I had purchased for a good long while. I was happy with that, because I heard "the other installments will be included!"
Guess I heard them wrong. They lost me. I won't pay 90 bucks again for another chapter of a 2 year old remake of a 30 year old game.
Oh good, 3 months is not bad at all, if that’s the case
Maybe it makes me a boomer, but I could not get into the remake as much as the original. I hated the real time combat. It made me feel like I could only control one character's actions well, which made me way more detached from the rest of the characters in my party.
Yo u are not the only one. I realy enjoy final fantasy games and I like real time combat. I do not like final fantasy games with real time combat.
I have not played the new one fuzzy came out recently, but tried the demo. I was not impressed. And I realy wanted to be...
Imo they have been going downhill since 10. They all have their moments and their appeal, but they are not as good anymore.
Real time combat just doesn't make sense! You're controlling a party of characters. You can't possibly juggle the attacks and abilities of 3 characters in real time. So it forces you to pick one character to focus on, while ignoring the others. Which is just lame. The last FF I played was 8, so I can talk to how they've done it with others more recently.
Wait, the remake wasn't the full game?
FF7R was full game length but ended when the party left Midgar; in the original game that is a bit before the end of Disc 1.
Granted, the Midgar section was greatly expanded for the remake and it’s pretty clear that we’re not necessarily doing a 1:1 equivalence with the original game…
I think it will released into 3 parts: Remake, Rebirth and the third volume which I don't think has been titled yet. What makes it even more confusing is that there was an "enhanced" version of FFVII Remake, released on PC and PS5, called Remake Intergrade.
