The breaking news just keeps on coming out of Square Enix: today it's been confirmed Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PS5 will feature «new comrades» that you can «cooperate with». Wow! This is the fifth development comment the company has issued, and none except the first have been of much — if any at all — substance. Still, now you know there's going to be new characters to play as during combat.
The question posed to battle director Teruki Endo is as follows: «Has the battle system changed from Final Fantasy VII Remake?» Funnily, his response doesn't even properly answer the question: «In Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, new comrades will join you in battle and you can cooperate with other party members in even closer ways than before.»
Now we know Square Enix is «working on nailing down a release date», the PS5 exclusive will have loads of freedom, it has a story and characters, and now there'll even be new characters to play as during combat. Again: wow! Who do you hope these new comrades are? Let us know in the comments below.
Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he can be found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.
It's definitely starting to sound like a game of sorts.
(Jokes aside, I can't wait to see some gameplay for this.)
Are they f---ing with us? I think they are f---ing with us.
I never thought Square would be casually trolling Final Fantasy fans in a daily basis. Or this is some kind of bad joke?
I don't feel like that answers the question directly.
One can read between the lines and assume that the battle system is more or less the same but with an expanded roster and what I am
Fighting
Party
UPS
Sony
Cooper
