On January 23rd 2025, the FFVII remake trilogy continues on PC with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
The original PlayStation 1 Final Fantasy VII may have come out in 1997, but we are heckin’ excited for part two of the remake trilogy. (What we won’t do is look at how I never made it passed the Materia Keeper…) With updated visuals, travel by Chocobo, and the next chapter of cinematic story to experience, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is just what a gloomy January needs! We’ve got a breakdown of the game, platforms, specifications, and a selection of PCs perfect to play FFVII.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is part two of Square Enix’s FFVII epic remake and was developed under the guidance key devs from the original game. Continuing your journey as Cloud Strife, you have escaped the dystopian city, Midgar, and stepped into the unknown. With your iconic companions, Tifa, Aerith, Barret, and Red XIII, you must travel to unfamiliar places in pursuit of Cloud’s sworn enemy, Sephiroth.
Gameplay
This bold re-imagining of the beloved FFVII game features a mix of traditional turn-based combat with real-time action. Each character has their own weaponry, which can be tailored using materia that grants access to a wide range of classic JRPG abilities and magic. Materia can also contain powerful summons that unleash devastating moves on your enemies. What’s more, each character has a limit gauge and their own unique Limit Break move to help turn the tide in boss battles. In addition to this, you can make two characters team up with synergy abilities, which you unlock as your team gets stronger.
FFVII Rebirth is fully voice acted with Cody Christian, Briana White, and Britt Baron all returning as Cloud, Aerith, and Tifa, respectively. Plus, it features updated orchestrations of the original soundtrack to really give you goosebumps during the cinematic cut scenes and explosive combat.
With this being a PC port, you can take advantage of enhanced textures, improved lighting, and GPU tech like DLSS to experience Final Fantasy VII rebirth in phenomenal detail it deserves.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Platforms
You can play Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PlayStation 5, with the official PC port available from January 23rd 2025.
Is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Multiplayer?
Final Fantasy VII is a single-player adventure with no multiplayer support. If you’re looking for a JRPG multiplayer experience, then we suggest Final Fantasy XIV Online.
Otherwise, you can still share the cinematic glory of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth with your friends via stream! Check out all our guides on live streaming if your production values need a boost.
