Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth gameplay

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the second in a trilogy of remakes of the 1997 PlayStation original Final Fantasy VII. It continues the story after the events of Final Fantasy VII Remake (2020), in which the party escaped the city of Midgar.

In the game, you primarily play as Claude Strife, a former Shinra soldier. He joins a group called AVALANCHE, an eco-terrorist organization that seeks to fight Shinra, which is destroying the Earth by draining life energy. The story also involves a conflict with Sephiroth, a legendary soldier who was thought to be dead. Similar to Remake, Rebirth reimagines parts of the original game, giving more depth to the characters and expanding the overall story.

The game features real-time exploration and combat. The world is more open than the remake’s Midgar, with markers indicating main story missions and side quests. The party can walk or ride chocobos for faster movement. Rebirth builds on the action-centric melee and real-time battle (ATB) system from Final Fantasy VII Remake.

In combat, characters use physical attacks, magic, and items for offense, defense, and healing. The “synergy” mechanic from the previous DLC is part of Rebirth’s combat system, allowing characters to synchronize their attacks, though this causes the ATB bar to fill more slowly.
