The protagonists, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Aerith, and Red XIII, have escaped from the dystopian city Midgar and are now pursuing Sephiroth, the vengeful swordsman from Cloud’s past who was thought to be dead.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth key features:
1. An unforgettable adventure!

3. An Expansive World
As the party searches for Sephiroth, you will travel across gorgeous, expansive portions of the planet, uncovering new areas to discover. Play minigames and rewarding side content to delve deeper into the universe of Final Fantasy VII. You can also explore the environment using a variety of unusual ways to get around.
4. An Evolved Battle System

5. Beyond the Walls of Fate
In this stand-alone journey for fans and newbies, Cloud and his allies travel across the planet, their futures unknown, making each step outside the dismal city of Midgar new and strange.
Gameplay:
The game features real-time combat and exploration, with the overworld becoming more adaptable than the Remake’s Midgar’s linear progression. The party can travel faster through the overworld by riding Chocobos, which they can catch a ride on by equipping the specialized Chocobo Lure Materia. At all times, objective markers appear in the heads-up display, indicating side quests and main story quests that need to be completed, along with their relative distances from the party. Rebirth expands on the hybrid of action-focused melee combat and the Active-Time Battle (ATB) system introduced in Final Fantasy VII Remake, wherein players take control of a group of characters that can be freely switched between at any time throughout gameplay. During combat, characters use a mix of conventional physical attacks and casting magic, as well as consuming dedicated items for offensive, defensive, and resuscitative purposes from a dedicated menu while playing.
Plot:
The game takes place on a nondescript world simply known as “The Planet,” and it centers on the journey of the main characters as they seek to both defeat Sephiroth, a legendary veteran of Shinra’s elite SOLDIER unit of enforcers, and end the tyranny of the Shinra Electric Power Company, who control the megalopolis of Midgar by weaponizing the ethereal power source known as the Lifestream. The story, environment, and cast of the original Final Fantasy VII (1997) are all reimagined in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, which is a direct continuation of the overall narrative first established in Final Fantasy VII Remake (2020).
