Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Shows Off Super Helpful Feature
The upcoming Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth recently shared a video showing off its fast-travel system, which happens almost instantly thanks to the PS5's SSD. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is easily one of 2024's most highly-anticipated games, even winning the award for such at The Game Awards 2023.
