Within the lead-up to Last Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Sq. Enix has shared a recap of the unique sport’s story, set from the attitude of Crimson XIII. The recap comes as each Sq. Enix and followers are counting down the times till Rebirth‘s launch on February 29, 2024.

The recap begins with an outline of Midgar and the ShinRa Electrical Energy Firm, set to a chilling rendition of Sephiroth’s theme. As Cloud, Barret and different members of Avalanche are launched, the music begins to develop into extra hopeful as Cloud meets Aerith following the Sector 8 reactor explosion. It rapidly returns to the haunting choral melody as President Shinra and his workers are launched.

To be trustworthy, the recap does a superb job of protecting the essential plot factors from Last Fantasy 7 Remake, although it does bypass the occasions of the Sector 6 slums, the Wall Market, Don Corneo’s Mansion, and all the things else between assembly Aerith and the assault on Sector 7. It additionally doesn’t point out Zack’s inexplicable revival, which is fascinating, given how essential he appears to be in Rebirth.

I need to admit, although, seeing the struggle in opposition to Sephiroth on the finish of Remake once more jogged my memory of how foolish that ultimate act was. Right here’s hoping they’re capable of make that struggle and its ramifications make sense in Rebirth. It’s already been confirmed by Tetsuya Nomura that Rebirth will prolong as much as The Forgotten Capital, so issues are already wanting up in that regard. 

Last Fantasy 7 Rebirth launches completely for the PlayStation 5 on February 29, 2024.
