New Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Characters Will Join Cloud’s Party

Square Enix continues to lead up to something for the next Final Fantasy VII Remake game. The official Twitter account shared its fifth developer comment on June 6, 2023. This time, the message came from Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Battle Director Teruki Endo and teased new characters will become party members.

Here’s the official announcement. It also teased that there will be new ways to work with current and newly added characters in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. We already know Aerith, Barret, Red XIII, and Tifa are with Cloud as the group leaves Midgar. Yuffie appeared in the Intermission DLC. This could be teasing the appearance of someone like Vincent or entirely new characters.

Each one of these statements has been brief and provided teasing hints at things to come. The first one suggested Square Enix is still trying to pin down a more definitive release date beyond “Winter 2023.” The second suggested more of the game’s world would be shown, following the first installment focusing on events in Midgar. The third and fourth days talked about the title’s narrative direction and how part 2 would feature some sort of accommodation for people who missed Final Fantasy VII Remake.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is expected to come to the PS5 in Winter 2023. Final Fantasy VII Remake is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC. There will also eventually be a third game in this new trilogy.
