The sport appears to be like excellent and I’m excited to play it. Additionally introduced Thursday: A $350 Collector’s Version of the sport. I’m…much less enthusiastic about that.
Ultimate Fantasy VII Rebirth continues after the occasions of Ultimate Fantasy VII Remake, which took the primary main part of 1997’s traditional RPG Ultimate Fantasy VII and translated it into an action-RPG. Remake’s storyline additionally modified up some particulars, each massive and small, to create what seems to be a brand new timeline that’s each separate from however someway related to that of the unique recreation and its many spin-offs.
At present’s trailer for the upcoming Rebirth exhibits this new sequel will proceed to shake issues up, depicting Zack from Disaster Core carrying Cloud right into a metropolis, one thing that doesn’t occur within the unique recreation. (Additionally…Cloud using a Segway?)
Attention-grabbing stuff! Anyway, the brand new trailer appears to be like cool, so that you is perhaps excited to pre-order the sport forward of its February 29, 2024 debut. About that. The usual version of the sport will price $69.99, and the “deluxe” will likely be $99.99. However the largest, most costly model of Ultimate Fantasy VII Rebirth is the collector’s version…and it prices greater than a Nintendo Change.

However I’m additionally not an individual who cares a lot for statues or collectibles. On the very least it’s good that Sq.
