Square Enix has "made preparations" so you can skip Final Fantasy 7 Remake and still "fully enjoy" Rebirth
Square Enix has confirmed it has «made preparations» to ensure Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth can still be enjoyed by those who missed the first game.
Beginning at the end of last week, Square Enix has issued fresh comments on the game each day — thankfully remembering the project still exists, after nearly a year of no news.
The first comment confirmed a release date was being considered, while subsequent comments have noted that the game will have a «multifaceted world with a high degree of freedom» — which some fans are interpreting to mean «open world». Lastly, Square Enix has clarified that yes, this game will in fact contain a story and characters. Who'd have thought?
Today's latest comment from Square Enix is more interesting.
When asked if fans need to have played Final Fantasy 7 Remake to enjoy Rebirth, co-director Motomu Toriyama responded: «No — we have made preparations so that players who did not get a chance to play the first game can fully enjoy Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth».
This seems to suggest fans won't need to have played last year's remaster of Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7 Reunion either.

What these «preparations» are is unknown. It could be as simple as a recap at the start of the game, though I wouldn't recommend anyone deny themselves playing the opening Remake in full.
Alternatively could this be a more creative solution? Mass
