Final Fantasy 7 fans disappointed over viral Rebirth Easter egg

A Final Fantasy 7 fan shared what he believed to be an Easter egg. However, this would prove something else.

A Final Fantasy 7 fan and writer of books based on the game’s mythology, shared what he believed to be an Easter egg for the upcoming second part of the story titled Rebirth on the title screen of the original remake. 

M.J. Gallagher sent chills down the spines of his almost 7,000 followers on Twitter when he posted a video of him opening Final Fantasy 7 Remake on PS5. Behind Cloud’s iconic Buster Sword a new red circular aura was visible. The next installment in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake was announced just over a week ago on June 16, with an announcement trailer and a new red logo.

Gallagher tweeted with the video “Holy heck, and now this Rebirth color effect has been added to the title screen when you boot up Final Fantasy VII Remake.” While people in the comments were clearly excited about the change, many others booted up their copies to see the title screen unchanged. Rebirth currently has a vague release date listed only as “next winter”. 

Gallagher questioned others on what time zone they were in, assuming that Square Enix would be implementing the change at midnight. After several people established that the red glow was not visible on their versions of the game, they questioned if the aura was a hoax. As such Gallagher attempted to verify his claims.

In order to confirm the change to his followers, Gallagher wanted to show a direct stream from his PS5 rather than recording the screen. “I’m sharing a direct PS5 upload to prove it’s not my monitor.” However, this would prove the exact opposite. The aura was in fact caused by damage to his TV, and not by anything developer Square Enix had added since the announcement of Rebirth.

Updating his followers Gallagher added “Folks, I’m so sorry. False alarm. Turns out my toddler has thrown a toy at my TV, both damaging the screen and sending the FFVII community into meltdown.” Just goes to show that you should aim to verify claims before whipping the Final Fantasy community into a fervor.

How many chapters in Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Intergrade DLC?

Full list of all chapters and how long they take to beat for Final Fantasy VII Remake and Yuffie’s Intergrade DLC.

Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade is finally available on PC, and yes, you really should finish the main game at least once before you move on to Yuffie’s Intergrade DLC to ensure everything makes sense. The game coming to PC opens up high resolutions, framerates, and mod support, which is always lovely to see, but what’s best is having more players experience this excellent game. 

In this guide we’re running through how long it’ll take you to get through Final Fantasy 7 Remake and the Intergrade DLC, and how many chapters you should expect to play. This isn’t as long as many games – it’s basically a third of the length of Elden Ring, after all – but there’s a lot to get through. It might feel slow at times, but FF7R is a game well worth playing.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 is already in the works

Tetsuya Nomura reassures fans that work “has already begun” on the trilogy’s conclusion.

Development on Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 is already underway, according to creative director Tetsuya Nomura. 

During the 25th Anniversary broadcast on Thursday, Square Enix finally revealed Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth – the remake trilogy’s second installment. While there’s no release date yet, it should land sometime next winter. Unfortunately, that means we’re still more than a year away from setting foot on Gaia again. However, Nomura did give a vague statement regarding Part 3.

“The development of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has been progressing rapidly since we adopted a new development structure. A title of this scale in which everything is interconnected even before production began is truly rare,” Nomura said on Twitter. “In fact, some development has already begun on the third title. I myself have started on the development and am working toward the completion of the series.”

It’s not much, but hey, at least the team is getting the ball rolling. If Rebirth comes out in 2023, that would be more than three years since Final Fantasy 7 Remake was released. So get comfortable.

If nothing else, the prequel Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 is out this holiday. The first part of Final Fantasy 7 Remake is on Steam now as well.

The long-awaited second installment in Square Enix’s wild reimagining got an actual trailer.

After more than two years of waiting, Final Fantasy 7 Remake‘s story is finally continuing.

During the 25th anniversary stream on Thursday, Square Enix released a teaser for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2, titled Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth set to launch next winter on the PlayStation 5. While not much is shown, fans will be treated to a new look at some environments and some very cryptic dialogue from fan favorites in Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith.

Watch the new Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth trailer for yourself below. It’s like coming home and seeing old friends for the first time in years, truly. 

Not only that, it was also announced that this will be the second game of a trilogy, stirring up even more conversation about where things will go from here and the fate of some beloved characters.

Things are looking up for the Final Fantasy brand overall, as between the new Crisis Core remaster and Final Fantasy 16, fans of the long-running video game series have a lot to look forward to within the next two years.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion revealed during 25th anniversary broadcast

The fan-favorite spinoff is back with a brand new coat of paint.

At long last, arguably the best Final Fantasy 7 spinoff is making a grand return.

During the 25th Anniversary broadcast on Thursday, Square Enix announced a full remaster of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7. Yes, the classic PSP title is coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Steam, and Nintendo Switch this winter. It’s sporting all-new visuals, gameplay tweaks, updated voiceovers, and much more.

Fans are always singing the praises of Crisis Core, mainly because this prequel adds plenty of great backstory to Final Fantasy 7‘s Aerith Gainsborough and Zack Fair. If you’re unfamiliar with the latter name, be careful looking up the details – significant spoilers for the original game and all that.

Check out the announcement trailer for Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion below.

Goodness, there’s no question that the remaster is a massive step up from the PSP version. Now, all we need is Dirge of Cerberus, and every critical bit of Final Fantasy 7‘s history would be more readily available.

Final Fantasy 7 announcement is coming in June

The 25th anniversary might bring Remake Part 2 details.

It’s wild that the first part of Final Fantasy 7 Remake came out over two years ago. Since then, everyone has eagerly awaited the second installment, and details might not be far off now. 

As reported by RPG Site, Final Fantasy 7 Remake director Tetsuya Nomura hinted during a recent live stream that we might learn more in June.

“Next month, we’re planning to publish information related to Final Fantasy 7‘s 25th anniversary,” Nomura said. “I wonder how far I’m allowed to share about it [right now].”

Yes, the original Final Fantasy 7 is turning 25 soon. Further proof that time is fake.

Now it’s worth keeping in mind that Nomura could be alluding two one of several Final Fantasy 7 projects, including the mobile spinoff The First Soldier, but fingers crossed it’s regarding the remake. Since January, Square Enix has been teasing a potential reveal of Part 2, so the timeframe certainly lines up.

[mm-video type=video id=01fw0vx38z2af3dc5ten playlist_id=none player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01fw0vx38z2af3dc5ten/01fw0vx38z2af3dc5ten-deae1cc2c2a040c9180b364b8145fedd.jpg]

It’s worth keeping in mind that Square Enix is also getting ready for Final Fantasy 16‘s hype cycle, with producer Naoki Yoshida claiming the next trailer is coming soon. Square Enix probably doesn’t want the two games competing with each other for attention, so we’ll just have to see how that all pans out.

Best PS5 games – games for PS5 that everyone should own

Let’s look back over the first year of PS5 and pick out the ten best games.

Sony’s newest console has been out for a while now and despite them being harder to source than medication from Martin Shkreli, there have been some amazing PS5 games released so far. Sony has been dropping a PS5 game here, a PS5 game there at a regular cadence since launch. Good games at that. We’ve already had to update this list to add things like Gran Turismo 7 and Horizon Forbidden West. 

[mm-video type=video id=01fqmjhj15avft2st527 playlist_id=none player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01fqmjhj15avft2st527/01fqmjhj15avft2st527-27aa1154ff4976d20adf76bbf98f9c16.jpg]

So let’s look back and pick out the best games for PS5. But let’s go over some ground rules before we dive in. First off, this list will favor PS5 exclusives. If the game is only available on PS5, it has more chance of getting in than if you were able to play it on other consoles and PC (only if it’s actually good, of course). If the game is out on PS4 and PS5, that also counts as an exclusive in our book – after all, PS5 is still the best place to play cross-generation games. We’ve also included some games that launched last-gen and got upgraded for PS5. Let’s get to it.

Robert Pattinson explains Final Fantasy 7’s characters to Batman co-star Zoe Kravitz

Even the dark knight can’t decide between Aerith and Tifa all these years later.

Like many of us, The Batman star Robert Pattinson is torn on two of Final Fantasy 7’s main characters.

During an interview with Clique X, Pattinson (randomly) explained Final Fantasy 7’s love triangle to Zoe Kravitz, who plays Catwoman in The Batman, for some inexplicably hilarious reason.

“I was in love with Aeris — and Tifa! It’s the two options of girls you can have in [Final Fantasy 7],” Pattinson said. “It’s a love triangle where Aeris, or Aerith depending on what version of the game you have — it’s sometimes mistranslated. She’s like the really kind girl. Her superpower is to heal everyone and make the world a better place. And then Tifa is this sexy little thing who’s like a thief and starts to wear a short skirt, and you’re like ‘I can’t decide’ [between them].”

Check out a clip from Clique X’s interview below.

Pattinson cheekily summarizes that Final Fantasy 7 was how many men learned about love. Kravitz, who’s not familiar with the game, then had some fun taking the wind out of Pattinson’s sails. 

“[So it’s] the one that’s going to heal everything and the one short skirt? These are the options? Oh my god,” Kravitz says during the same interview. “This is the problem with the world.”

You know, between this and NBA stars clowning on Pattison’s suit, Batman sure is getting roasted a lot lately.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 may get a reveal this year

Square Enix is hard at work on the next installment.

Waiting for Part 2 of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake  can be agonizing, though Square Enix might soon give us some fresh details.

A report by Video Games Chronicle (VGC) states that during a livestream celebrating the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy 7, producer Yoshinori Kitase claims that more info on Part 2 is (hopefully) coming soon.

“We are hard at work on Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis, so please look forward to that. In addition, with regards to the long-awaited Final Fantasy VII Remake [Part 2] there will be more information this year if we can,” Kitase said via VGC. “We just started the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy 7, so we want to celebrate and get fans excited, so within the next 12 months we want to share some information.”

Despite the remake’s popularity, many fans still hold the 1997 original in higher regard, with some even  implementing classic cameras  for that old-school JRPG feel.

Part 2 of Final Fantasy 7 Remake  remains a mystery, and Kitase’s comments don’t illuminate much. He may be keeping things close to the chest because Final Fantasy 7 Remake was announced in 2015, and Part 1 didn’t come out until 2020. Delays often lead to greatness, though.
