One of the most burning questions on the minds of fans has been how long Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will be in comparison to the original FF7 Remake. Director Naoki Hamaguchi and Producer Yoshinori Kitase were forthcoming about this, revealing that the game will encompass the iconic locations of the original storyline, reaching all the way to the Forgotten Capital.
How big will the game be?
In the recent Final Fantasy VII Rebirth trailer, viewers were treated to a glimpse of the game’s massive scale. Naturally, this led to inquiries about the overall size of the world in comparison to the Remake. Hamaguchi shared that while the Remake took approximately 30-35 hours to complete for the average player, Rebirth will offer an even more expansive experience, spanning 35-40 hours for the main storyline alone. This extended gameplay time is a reflection of more core story content to look forward to.
But the good news doesn’t end there. Hamaguchi revealed that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will feature a world map, a classic element that fans of the original game will appreciate. Beyond the main storyline, players can look forward to a treasure trove of extra side content, adding up to well over 100 hours of gameplay to explore every nook and cranny of the world.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth promises an epic journey that covers an extensive portion of the game world, from Nibelheim to the Forgotten Capital. This is only 2nd out of the planned trilogy for the remake series. With an estimated main storyline length of 35-40 hours and a world map to explore, players can immerse themselves in a vast world filled with new adventures and nostalgic moments to relive through a modern lens. The countdown to Rebirth’s release is on, and fans can expect an unforgettable journey when it arrives on February 29, 2024.
