00:09 I'm waiting, Cloud.

00:39 In Final Fantasy VII Remake, Cloud and his companions

00:42 triumph over destiny.

00:45 Leaving the city of Midgar behind,

00:47 they step out into an unfamiliar wilderness.

00:52 It is here that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth begins.

01:04 The stage upon which this ragtag band story unfolds

01:08 is both vast and varied.

01:11 The world is made up of multiple regions,

01:14 all seamlessly interconnected.

01:18 The Grasslands.

01:21 Located due south of Midgar, this

01:23 is where Cloud and the gang resume their adventure.

01:26 The Junon region.

01:33 Where a metropolis by the same name

01:34 overlooks the ocean, a symbol of Shinra's military might.

01:38 The Corel region.

01:43 The resort town of Cosa del Sol adorns its northern shore,

01:48 while the Gold Saucer stands as a gilded oasis above the Dust

01:52 Bowl far to the south.

01:54 The Gengarga region.

01:59 Pay tribute to Zack by exploring his hometown,

02:02 or visit what remains of the local Mako reactor.

02:04 The Cosmo Canyon region.

02:10 Become one with the planet as you

02:12 return to Red XIII's roots.

02:13 The Nibel region.

02:20 Take a trip down memory lane with Cloud and Tifa,

02:24 or stop by Shinra Manor, where Vincent rests in peace.

02:29 Your adventure will even extend to the high seas.

02:32 There's more to do than simply walk around, however.

02:39 First, let's look at World Intel.

02:42 Assisting Chadley with his research

02:44 will deepen his understanding of the world,

02:47 allowing him to develop new materia.

02:51 This research takes many forms, such as wrangling chocobos,

02:55 or playing with the mooglets at their mogstools.

02:58 You may also come across sanctuaries brimming

03:01 with knowledge of divine entities,

03:04 or lairs inhabited by fearsome, unique foes.

03:08 Chadley will also enlist your help

03:10 in researching mysterious artifacts

03:12 known as proto-relics.

03:14 Each investigation is its own side story,

03:16 featuring a colorful cast of characters,

03:19 exciting new minigames, and ferocious creatures.

03:22 Are you up for the challenge?

03:25 And once you recover all the proto-relics scattered

03:28 throughout the world, there's no telling what

03:31 new developments might be in store.

03:35 Next, let's talk about Odd Jobs.

03:38 These quests offer a deep dive into the regions of the world

03:41 and the crazy characters who inhabit them.

03:44 As a merc, Cloud will accept work

03:46 from people he meets in his travels

03:49 and team up with his pals to solve their troubles.

03:53 By helping those in need, he will also

03:56 strengthen the bonds between him and his comrades.

03:58 Each one of these Odd Jobs boasts a unique side story.

04:05 Some, like Johnny's questline, borrow aspects

04:08 from the original FF7, while others highlight content

04:12 exclusive to Rebirth.

04:14 You'll find all sorts of jobs the world over.

04:19 And don't worry if you leave some for later.

04:21 Story progression won't affect your side hustle.

04:25 You can always go back to tie up loose ends.

04:28 And this freedom to experience the story how you want

04:31 is one of Rebirth's greatest strengths.

04:35 While some minigames are tied to World Intel and Odd Jobs,

04:39 many are not.

04:42 For example, popular ones from the Gold Saucer,

04:46 such as 3D Brawler, G-Bike, and Chocobo Racing

04:51 are in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth 2.

04:56 Others improve upon their remake versions,

04:59 while still more are completely new to Rebirth.

05:02 We've even fleshed out some of the minigames

05:09 that were featured as part of the original Final Fantasy

05:12 VII's main scenario.

05:13 Though this one is not in the original,

05:20 I highly suggest you check out the card game, Queen's Blood.

05:24 No matter where you are in the story,

05:26 it's sure to both challenge and entertain you.

05:29 Enjoy collecting all the cards and building

05:31 your own unique decks.

05:35 He's planning to use the black materia,

05:37 but I won't let that happen.

05:40 He has to be stopped by a Cetra, and I'm the last.

05:46 While minigames and map exploration

05:48 are a big part of Rebirth's charm,

05:50 there's more to it than just that.

05:52 Rebirth provides a cinematic experience

05:55 with even higher quality content, and more of it

05:59 than remake.

06:01 This installment follows Cloud and company

06:04 after they escape Midgar, up through to their arrival

06:07 at the Forgotten Capital.

06:08 We've taken painstaking care to depict how the group bonds

06:15 during their journey, one that ultimately decides Aerith's

06:19 fate.

06:21 Once you finish Rebirth, I'm sure you'll

06:23 agree that no other game makes you feel quite this

06:26 close to its characters.

06:29 Not even him.

06:32 As for the graphics, Rebirth makes full use

06:37 of the PlayStation 5 and its SSD,

06:40 meaning we could use much higher resolution assets

06:43 than we could in remake.

06:46 And they will still load in the blink of an eye.

06:48 Maintain a 60 FPS frame rate with performance mode.

06:56 Or prioritize 4K resolution with graphics mode.

07:09 Whichever you prefer, Rebirth has you covered.

07:13 Each character interacts with the world in their own way.

07:17 Barret shoots objects.

07:19 Yuffie swings across gaps.

07:24 Tifa has her grappling gun.

07:31 Red can climb along walls.

07:35 Cait Sith grabs and throws items.

07:38 And Aerith manipulates the lifestream.

07:42 Whatever challenges you face, your teammates

07:45 will be ready to help you overcome them.

07:47 Now for the music.

07:52 We wanted to pay respect to the original FF7's tracks,

07:57 but also challenge ourselves by matching

07:59 the feeling of each scene, which resulted in two different

08:02 versions of the music.

08:04 We tried to match the feeling of each scene,

08:07 which resulted in some truly innovative arrangements.

08:11 Like, for example, the following.

08:13 How was that?

08:27 If you enjoyed what you heard, we recorded well over

08:30 400 new tracks for this game,

08:33 so we'll show you where that came from.

08:35 Your party's bonds aren't just reflected in the story,

08:46 but through gameplay as well.

08:48 The choices you make throughout your adventure

08:53 will change the way your comrades feel towards Cloud.

09:01 Things affect who will join you on a date in the Gold Saucer,

09:05 something I'm sure many of you are excited about.

09:07 In fact, even allies who weren't available in the original FF7

09:14 can now accompany you, provided you play your cards right.

09:18 The Saucer is packed with many incredible sights to see

09:24 and things to do.

09:28 Scouting there will no doubt be a highlight of the game.

09:31 Already have someone who you'd like to go with?

09:39 Well, we hope they feel the same way too.

09:46 Your companions will share a bond not only with Cloud,

09:56 but with each other as well.

09:58 Your party level, a numerical expression of this bond,

10:05 will increase as you overcome challenges.

10:08 The higher this level,

10:14 the more skills will become available in your character's folios,

10:19 a mechanic new to Rebirth.

10:21 By unlocking the skills etched in these tomes,

10:25 your characters will grow stronger and learn new synergy commands.

10:30 Part of what makes Rebirth's combat so fun

10:36 is all the different character combinations.

10:39 Switch up your team to fit the situation, or even your mood.

10:45 Every possible party combination has its own unique synergy commands.

10:53 So once you find characters that work for you,

10:56 focus on tweaking their skills to match your combat needs.

11:00 And don't be afraid to experiment.

11:04 You can reset your folios at any time.

11:07 With new characters and synergy commands at your disposal,

11:14 Remake's satisfying hybrid of action combat and strategic planning

11:20 has been made even more dynamic and engaging.

11:23 We can't wait for you to experience all this and more

11:28 in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PlayStation 5.
