Square Enix is continuing with its daily question and answers teases for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on the official FINAL FANTASY VII Twitter account, sharing more information about the title’s narrative.

Two new questions with their corresponding answers have been unveiled, this time primarily focusing on the narrative of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The first answer suggests that the game’s story will expand upon the existing story of Final Fantasy 7 while exploring the destinies of each character.

Question: What can players anticipate in terms of the story in FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH?

Answer: Players will witness a series of narrative developments that are deeply intertwined with the core of the original FINAL FANTASY VII story, while also uncovering the fates of each character.

After Square Enix posted the aforementioned question and answer, numerous fans speculated whether it would be necessary to complete Final Fantasy 7 before playing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth to fully understand the narrative.

However, Square Enix has addressed this concern in another question and answer.

Question: Is it mandatory to play FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE in order to enjoy FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH?

Answer: No, we have taken steps to ensure that players who haven’t had the opportunity to play the first game can fully immerse themselves in the world of FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth currently has no fixed release dates. Square Enix is working on “nailing down” the release date of its upcoming title. However, with the Summer Games Fest set for later this week, it is possible that FF7 Rebirth makes an appearance over there with a possible release date.
