All Confirmed Regions & Locations in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth So Far

- The Gold Saucer: A world-famous amusement park that is powered by Mako, the source of life on the planet. It has been confirmed that players will encounter a myriad of mini-games at the Gold Saucer (more on this in a below section).
- Grasslands: A lush vibrant land, small outposts dotted around the landscape. The Grasslands appear to be a vast open world area where there is plenty for players to discover.
- Junon: The second largest Shinra outpost. Junon used to be a beacon of hope until the Shinra Cooperation took over the city.
- Under Junon: A once bustling port town that has fallen into decline and is now a desolate town full of displaced civilians.

They have teased costa del soul and we know the game end at the forgotten capital but thats the only areas we have seen yet in detail.

Confirmed playable characters

- All the main 4 from part 1
- Red 13, Zach, Cait Sith, Yuffie
- Sephiroth, who the director has described on a few occasions as a protagonist

Characters confirmed to be in the game in some way

- Andrea, Biggs, Buggenhagan, Cid, Dio, Dyne, Elena, Rude, Reno, Tsung, Rufus, Marlene, Vincent, Kyrie



Confirmed methods of travel





Much like the OG each Chocobo will have certain traits so far we know of two

- Mountain Chocobos with scales to climb mountains
- Sky Chocobos with the ability to glide across the landscape
- The Buggy I showed above

Shown mini games so far







Shown above are Choco racing, G-bike, and 3D Brawler. There will be a piano mini game that you must collect sheet music for varying in difficulty. Something called moogle mischief involving bringing moogle children back home

And the big one Queens Blood. The new gwent or triple triad. A strategic card game where the aim is to overpower the opponent by accumulating power by placing cards into lanes on the game board. Players can collect cards and build their deck, but it is uncertain if these cards are collectibles or not, so fans will have to find out when the game releases. It has been said there will be easy normal and hard modes for this in the options.

Battle system

Most of the mechanics like summons, materia, etc are coming over. However synergy attacks and team up attacks with play into an expansion of the "friendship system" in older games depending on how close you are with that character and certain side quest will take on the form of bond quest.

Open World

All the continents will be there and fully open but parts will be gated by progress

- Remnawave Towers: Activating these towers will open new opportunities within the region, such as Research Assignments. As well as unlocking new opportunities, these towers will also uncover areas within the map, like Far Cry’s radio towers.

- Combat Assignments: Like Chadley’s research assignments in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, these combat assignments have a similar premise and unlock new challenges in Chadley’s combat simulator.

- Excavation Sites: When the player's Chocobo is near buried treasure, the game will indicate with a “?” above the Chocobo’s head and the player must follow the directions their loyal bird gives them to find the treasure.



- Chocobo Stops: Repairing these stops turns them into a fast travel point, which is very handy in an open world game.

House keeping

- Difficulty- If you are someone like me who wanted hard mode from the start of part 1 this one introduces a dynamic option that adjust to how well you do just like Resident Evil games. Easy Normal and Tactical will still be there as well.

- DLC leaks- Carbuncle was a major help in part 1 and only came with preorder so I imagine the preorder only summon will be another small space very helpful support summon. Some people are floating around Nov Dec following on the shows of Yuffies intermission we will get one for Vincent as he seems the most plot crucial needing to be set up for part 3





Aerith and Tifa team up attack. You can useless tempest has been dropped as Aeriths triangle for ward shift



Sepiroths materia and stats im guessing from flashback



Aerith pets Red im guessing an animation after a synergy attacks


Also if you have save data from remake youll get Leviathan and if you have sava data from Yuffies DLC you will Get Ramuh.

I am not sure how they are working this but the characters wont just reset at level 1 either.

The following summons are confirmed:
Odin
Alexander
Kujata
Titan
Phoenix
Bahamut Arisen

I really really really like the way they have made Cait Siths battle mechanics work here too. He can fight off the moogle or on it and the moogle has a health bar or something. It seems he will play a big tank role and a large amount of his casino bs has been cut.

Someone on youtube I think Nightsky Prince got flown out by SQE to do their showcase in Sep and he said in a team up attack with cloud and cait cloud rode on the moogle and cut stuff up with his sword lol. This game oozes charm and care

I really like the idea with some side quest being turned into almost bond quest with one character that if you take the time to do them can have dialogue and combat benefits but if you just wanna mainline the story thats there for you to do as well.

They can’t cut out Costa del Sol and the submarine game better be at the Golden Saucer.

This is just a compilation of things i could compile and know are 100% for sure confirmed by SQE themselves. I included some pics here and there but theres wayyyyyy more screen shots out there.

I am extremely interested in how they utilize the friendship system or relationship system or whatever. As I understand it as it has always been for FF its a completely unseen mechanic meaning you cant check your score with another character. It does seem these will have much much bigger implications than just who goes on a date with cloud.

1. As I said some of the side quest in this game, while i assume most will include most or all the current party like the one SQE showed off for Red the party was there but it was entirely focused on Red 13 and Cloud. You had some various chances to choose dialogue options I assume they impact the score with that friend. IF youre relationship is poor not only can you not synergize optimally in combat nor do a team attack of any type it seems like it could actually bring actual negative impacts in some way

2. Story: I think they have a fair amount of room to play with this here. The major beats will all hit the same up till the forgotten capital and Aeriths death. But all of these minor stories FF7 has 100s of them could use this. Take Barrent and Dyne in prison which is imo one of the S tier FF7 b tier plots, youre relationship status with barret could effect how that plays out pertaining to interparty relationships etc etc


One final thing I keep seeing interviews with Hamaguchi (spelling)the game director calling Seph a protagonist in Rebirth? How the frick is that going to happen

Some more screen shots directly from SQE



Biggs new look.



The look theyre going for with Titan. Cant say im a fan



Dyne. This image gives me immense confidence theyll do one of ff7s best b sub plots great justice just with the pain in his face,



Old Buggenhagan, the grandparent of a bipedal lion creature, hey no judgement bro.



This one is a bit older from the very first trailer that had our party seeming dead in midgar loaded into EMS. They released this planned world map with some highlighted locations.

Will add more when I get a second I am working.

ETA adding more will be ongoing



party meets vincent



Nice show showing off the synergy abilities actually being selected and what the menue says its cloud and barret so you have one gun based and one sword based. IT also appears the tag team words above it with the up and down d pad arrow would allow you to change your team up partner, Thar being red 13 in that shot



Cloud and Seph close up before executing a synergy move. This is apparently during the flashback at the very start which will tutorialize this whole mechanice.

Whats funny? This game is going to insanely massive and ambitious if nothing else. Its almost certainly going to win GOTY if nothing else due to lack of other contenders.

All the trailers, all the hands one events, all the dev interviews is 100% on point for what youd want in the middle psrt of this series. It all screams they absolutely get what made OG so special to so many which fills me with confidence.

My only remaining minor worry is squares next forray into an open world but I doubt itll be an issue like it was for 15 since they arent creating every single thing down to the smallest of details out of whole cloth

I am adding new screen shots to my post above as I come across good ones but its slow atm due to work. There will be a bunch more periodically added

frick it just continuing on



This one is interesting it shows Kujata doing what I assume is its super. To my knowledge Kujata was first in ff7 og and never used again so its neat they got him for the remake.



This one massively caught my eye because it appears to be literally the date scene from gold sauce of with yuffie as the other party. Is she scripted into this or can it be changed?



Cid flying the tiny bronco? Game wont go far enough for it to be anything else



This one is fascinating as it sparks the timelines or etc theory and debate. We have Zach talking to Marlen in whats clearly Aeriths house with a comatose cloud



First look at the boat from Junon to Costa del sol. It appears they went for a more luxury cruise liner than a military transport and hence dispensed with our parties need to disguise

They are really kicking the marketing gear into mega drive with the new year releasing something new almost daily.



This is clearly a Jeneva fight. From where we know the game starts and ends there are only two to my recollection. The boat and the forgotten capital. This is almost certainly the latter unless its a new one added



An almost exact shot for shot pose of Cloud and Seph above with Cloud and Aerith. I wonder if all Synergy/team attacks (which are different things mind you) will take this animation before executing and if that could get old after a while



An actuual shot of Titans in game rendering. Ill say it looks better than the concept art posted above but still not a fan. FF16 got Titan perfect.



This is interesting. We got the trailer during the game awards showing Aerith singing at the golden saucer. This is clearly Jessie though.

So, I'll preface this by saying that I played and replayed Remake at least ten times through every chapter, and used chapter select options to play through my favorite chapters as a stand alone many times more, then did a handful of replays of the DLC so I did this to myself, but...

I've been deliberately trying not to watch gameplay videos as I want to dive straight into Rebirth just like I did Remake without spoilers. I have inadvertently seen some of the gameplay footage though and couldn't bring myself to look away. What I saw/heard was most definitely new areas, but with the same rehashed area-specific music from the first title. The music was actually really good in Remake but the last thing I really want to endure is running through a whole new area while the Remake music from the Underplate or the Sewers plays in the background.

Maybe it's just music they used for demo gameplay purposes and the actual release will have a new score. Not sure how that works. I really love the background score from the Sector 5 slums, but that just seems very personal to that specific area and the connection to the "Hollow" credits song and Aerith, so I hope they don't reuse it.

Just a minor thing, I know. I just really liked the score from Remake (except for the Underplate) and hope they bring us a new score along with the new release. Either way, my excitement level is 10/10 for this release, and it's almost torture seeing the countdown on my PS5 every day.

Which gameplay did you watch? SQE did a hands on event demo sometime around Septemberish I think for some of the biggest FF YouTubers and media types. It went through the whole first part of the game which will be the flashback and had random cuts of the open world. I imagine we will get the demo of the flashback ourselves close to 2 weeks before release given their recent track record.

My point is you can watch certain cuts of these builds they got to play and it’s full of new music so if you saw some other gameplay showcase somewhere it’s likely it was simply cut with the character themes from remake or something which will all likely be carried over here for returning characters but altered and changed slightly as SQE is know to do with these series games like how lightings theme stayed the same through each part but changed slightly throughout
