Fresh gameplay of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was shown at tonight's Summer Game Fest with a abandon window reveal of early 2024.
The game is so big, it will be on two discs and is a PlayStation 5 exclusive.
Square Enix has been teasing a drawl all week with developer comments of varying detail - immediately was day seven, resulting in the trailer below.
So what did we see?
It begins with a news represent of our heroes seemingly dead after the events of the first-rate game on the Midgar Expressway. But then, we know this remake trilogy is playing with time and the suits of the original.
What we then get is a peer of what this open world will look like, as Cloud explores vast fields and industrial complexes with Aerith and Tifa.
He'll be joined by Yuffie (from the Intergrade DLC) and everyone's favourite lion-thing Red XIII will be playable at last - his instructions include a Vengeance Mode. The team can also be seen riding chocobo ended various ruins.
The trailer covers events seemingly leading up to the end of the capable disc of the original: the chocobo ranch of Kalm; rallies Seto in Cosmo Canyon; and the tumultuous events of Nibelheim. The Turks are back too and we even see a boss fights against Jenova.
Battles will use the same system as Remake but are looking even flashier, if that's even possible.
The trailer ends with Sephiroth proverb "do you know that I killed her, so who is she?" with footage of him slicing at a younger Tifa. Characters also seek information from what Cloud's been up to the past five ages. Will Zack make an appearance?
