The game entered production in November 2019 prior to Remake's release, and was announced in June 2022. All of the previous game's lead staff return in the same positions, but with Tetsuya Nomura as creative director instead of director, and Naoki Hamaguchi as director instead of co-director.

I can't quite believe I'm running around Kalm in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. But here I am, in chapter 2 of the game, looking around a modern recreation of the idyllic town I once came to know so many years ago in the original 1997 release. Cloud and the gang have just spent the night in an inn and when I first head outside, I'm struck by how alive the town feels; all abustle with locals and visitors going about their day.

With Final Fantasy 7 Remake bringing the group together in Midgar, it makes perfect sense that Rebirth would go all in on the bonds they form in and out of combat as journey together into the wider world. In terms of the story, I only got to see a few examples of this party bond system in action during my time in Kalm – which also includes a feature that lets you illustrates characters' feelings about you by bringing up a little smiley face emote above their heads – but what I did see only makes me more excited for what's to come.

They learn through a video message that Tseng has taken Aerith captive because she is an "Ancient". Reno and Rude evacuate on a Shinra medical helicopter while Cloud, Barret, and Tifa ride a ropeway to safety as the pillar separates from the plate above and it comes crashing down.

Ifalna had told Gast Jenova, which Gast had mistaken as a Cetra, was in fact the "Calamity from the Skies" responsible for the Cetra's dwindled numbers. Jenova is a shapeshifting extraterrestrial organism that had arrived on a meteorite 2000 years ago, creating the large crater to the Planet's north pole. The creature had been sealed away by the last surviving Cetra, and it was from this geological stratum that Gast and his researchers had excavated its body 2000 years later.

Though reviewers reacted positively to the combat sections, many were divided on the sidequests. Heater Wald of GamesRadar said that many of the sidequests comprise "rather menial tasks that aren't particularly too exciting",[21] and Tom Marks of IGN said that he completed the sidequests but "felt forced to do so out of a sense of obligation rather than amusement".

Using them in combat really makes the whole party feel unified, and it instills a sense of camaraderie that also effectively feeds into the way Rebirth is making bonds as one of its main themes. 

In addition, enemies will often favor attacking the player-controlled character, which makes switching between characters optimal to avoid being overwhelmed by opponents. The materia system can be used to tailor one's playstyle and abilities.

You do realize what mako is, don't you? Mako is the lifeblood of our world. The planet bleeds green like you and me bleed red. The hell you think's gonna happen when it's all gone, huh!? Answer me! You gonna stand there and pretend you can't hear the planet crying out in pain? I know you can! ^

It goes without saying that we wanted to respect the movements the boss had in the original game, so we used as many of those as we could.

Rufus takes over the company, pondering over Sephiroth's apparent return and the strange occurrences at the Shinra Building and Cloud and his friends' involvement. Hojo discovers that Jenova's body has disappeared from his lab and breaks into hysterical laughter.

As Cloud and Tifa are rescued from the Lifestream the restored Cloud returns to lead the party, revealing to the others he is not an ex-SOLDIER, as he had not been mentally strong enough to qualify.

Nesse caso que as cutscenes terminam, temos a oportunidade do atravessar pela cidade e encontrar certos Destes personagens que nos acompanham na minha e sua jornada, saiba como Tifa e Aerith.
