Square Enix has confirmed that summons will return in FF7 Rebirth, allowing players to unleash monsters upon their enemies. It’s unclear whether the summons from FF7 Remake will be returning, but we know for sure that some familiar faces from FF7 will be appearing in the game, as well as at least one brand-new summon.
The latest trailer for FF7 Rebirth was packed with information about new and returning content that will appear in the game. These include a playable version of Cait Sith, all of the minigames from the Gold Saucer, breeding and racing Chocobos, and the return of Vincent Valentine. The trailer also featured some of the summons that will be appearing in the game.

FF7 Rebirth SummonsIn FF7, the Odin summon Materia was found hidden in the Shinra Mansion. Odin had two abilities in FF7: Steel Bladed Sword, which instantly killed enemies, and Gunge Lance, which dealt damage. Gunge Lance was extremely useful, as it dealt non-elemental damage, allowing it to bypass many elemental resistances.
In FF7 Rebirth, Odin will be making his return. The latest trailer shows him using his Zantetsuken blade to carve up an enemy, suggesting that this will become his primary weapon in the game. If players have to fight him (as they did with many of the summons in FF7 Remake), then he will likely be extremely difficult, as Odin has often been part of timed battles in previous Final Fantasy games, where the player has rushed to beat him before he uses Zantetsuken and kills everyone.
