In another promotional push for the upcoming Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Japanese credit card provider Epos revealed special Cloud Strife and Sephiroth VISA cards exclusive to the country. It's not the first piece of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth merch to have come out, but these credit cards will be great for hardcore fans who want to collect anything that has the game stamped on it.

And as one of the most anticipated releases of 2024, it's only natural that Square Enix has been on a major marketing push for it.
