It seems that a demo is indeed coming imminently. As spotted by Wario64 on X/Twitter, a trailer for a Final Fantasy VII Rebirth demo can currently be seen on the Explore tab on the US PSN. This trailer appears on the US PSN for now, but has not appeared in other territories at this time.

It would appear the trailer has been published early, as it says "demo available now." We can probably assume that was meant to air during the State of Play on February 6.

My man, of all the spinoffs to make this complaint about, you choose part 2 of the reboot/remaster?

[+] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world -7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Yeah I got annoyed as hell that they split it into two just to gouge players. Also I was never a fan of ff7, but gave the reboot a try, still didn't like it.

Wait til he hears there will actually be 3 parts.

What did you not like about it, if you don't mind me asking?

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

The characters and story. Just didn't grab me. I liked FF 8 but not 7, Cantt explain why but I just liked the setting and characters better. I also liked that 8 had the more realistic graphics, with the melding cutscenes. and 7 had cartoony graphics with realistic cutscenes so it didn't work for me.

It's not like I hate 7, just wasn't for me. I preferred other games in the series and wish they'd get some reboots and side games based on those. There are some great final Fantasy games that deserve a reboot and spin-offs but never got any, yet ff7 has like a dozen.

You guys are really gonna pay $500 for this game by the time its all done, and you dont care at all.

Ill jjst play the OG ff7 and continue being content with one of the GOATs.

Cool bro that’s awesome. Good for you!

FYI, fans of FF7 have been clamouring for a remake for over two decades now. So yes, people are really excited.

Except perhaps those who are disappointed that the remake isn't how they have imagined it. And fair enough, but let's be happy we got one at all, and that it isn't just some shovel ware that a lot of properties are pushing out.

the combat of the remake is better than the OG one. much higher skill ceiling and the music is better too
