Final Fantasy VII Rebirth latest trailer is all about the search for Sephiroth

thesixthaxis.com:

The latest trailer for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has been released, and it’s all about the iconic big bad from FF7, Sephiroth. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is coming out exclusively for PS5 on 29th February.

The trailer starts with dramatic moments and imagery, from a fiery face-off against Sephiroth to the seismic catastrophes that are tearing apart the world, before shifting to the heroes that have teamed up to try and foil his plans. From Cloud, Barrett, Tifa, Aerith, Yuffie, Red XIII, and more feature here, and there’s some glimpses of the game’s new team-up attacks in combat as they fight the Terror of the Deep boss, and other reimagined creatures and characters.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is our Most Wanted Game of 2024, and is almost certainly the biggest PS5 exclusive of the year. We’ve been hands on with the game a few months ago and got to play the Fated Mt. Nibel Mission that flashed back to a time before, as well as set foot in Under Junon – including that same Terror of the Deep boss.

Through this we saw the enhanced combat with new Synergy moves that aim to enhance the team play between your party in battle. Synergy Skills are used from a guard stance, giving you a pair of options depending on your party composition, while the Synergy Abilities are then equivalent to Limit Break attacks for an ultimate twin strike.

There’s further growth elsewhere as well. Final Fantasy VII Remake was a fairly linear affair, and Rebirth goes to great lengths to let you branch off and explore a bit more. You’ll have more open world areas that you can roam around on the back of a Chocobo, looking for Fiend Sightings to engage in combat challenges against local beasties. Oh, and there’s baby Chocobo that you can find and follow to reestablish Chocobo stops.
