"Reviving the Epic: A Sneak Peek at Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth"

IGN provides a preview of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the second entry in the FF7 Remake project. The combat system remains similar to the previous game, with the addition of new synergy abilities and materia. The game features expansive open areas for exploration, with the ability to traverse on foot, in vehicles, and on chocobos. Crafting materials can be collected to create items, and fast travel locations are available. The story feels familiar yet different, with expanded areas and minor changes. The game will cover through the end of the original game's first disc, and the impact of the story-changing Whispers of Fate remains to be seen. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is set to release on February 29, 2024.
