FF7 Rebirth is a month away and the hype continues with Square Enix's new trailer. Read on to learn more.
Square Enix Shows New Trailer
On a seemingly normal day, Square Enix decided to up the hype levels for their highly anticipated game, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, with a brand new trailer titled "Destined for Rebirth." There’s quite a lot to unpack here so let’s break it down.
FF7 Rebirth Trailer Breakdown - Destined for Rebirth
The trailer started with Sephiroth’s undoubtedly most iconic scene with the Nibelheim Incident where it shows Sephiroth’s descent into madness and destroys the village of Nibelheim. It then cuts to several shots of cutscenes (the Sector 2 Aftermath and the end of Crisis Core -FF7- Reunion where Zack was seen carrying Cloud) in both the two previous games in the Remake series. The Destined for Rebirth trailer also showed a shot of the Junon Parade Ceremony which may hint at the inclusion of the sneaking sequence where you have to march in accordance with soldiers in the original game.
Afterwards, it showed a combat and hype reel for the heroes of the game which includes gameplay footage of battling against the Terror of the Deep boss. Likewise, a first look at the giant snake boss "Midgar Zolom" was shown. Last but definitely not least, Cloud was seen shouting Tifa’s name at the high heavens, which is surprising as he is never one to show THAT much emotion.
