From impressions it seems like a locked 60fps

I think it'll be a stable 60fps mode like part 1 on PS5, but I'm not sure if they'll hit the heights of that which was a very good 1512p upscaled to 4k, with no graphical compromises. If its lower than 1440p then I think I'll play it at 30fps for a higher resolution. The art direction is too good!

I think it will be like elden ring. Very Big Zones that are connected via natural choke points like cliffs and dungeons.
I think the calm and junon areas will be connected via mithril mines. Like how Stormcastle connected limgrave and the lands of lakes ( I can't spell the actual name!)
The world may open up more when you get access to chocobos and other vehicle's. We're not sure how they work yet really. Some have theorised that they will act like Metroidvainia upgrades that give you access to previously unaccessable areas. This is unconfirmed though pure speculation.

Yo, quick PSA: Shipping prep for orders from Square Enix's website will start on February 4th. You might get an email but if you ordered last year make sure your payment method and address are up to date.

They have been restocking the physical deluxe edition at various retailers. I was almost ready to buy from the SE store, but I held out and am glad I did. Now Amazon or Target is going to try and get my copy to me, hopefully by release date or that weekend at least. Better than paying $10 extra for shipping and having SE screw it up.

Review embargo is the 22nd at 9:00am EST
They should feel pretty confident about the game if the embargo lifts a week before release.
Incidentally, the trophy list has already leaked and the game is apparently in the hands of reviewers/influencers right now, so be careful out there.

Rebirth has GOTY written all over it, Seeing that the trophy list is out there, I will probably need to unfollow a few Facebook groups.

To be honest, at this point I think the only thing that could prevent this game from breaking the 90 barrier is plot (and/or ending) related.
Remake got away with an 87, and I still enjoyed it a lot more than I expected.

Did you choose in-store pickup for your FF7 Rebirth Deluxe? Usually for important pre-orders like these I choose in-store/curbside pickup so I can get it first thing in the morning or during lunch break.Now lets see if my local game store would screw me with my Deluxe edition so I would get it late…

I chose in store pick up, my house is very close to the store, it takes less than hour to walk there and pick up my copy......problems is they sometimes have shipping issue and get their supplies late and I wouldn't able to pick my copy on release day.
Hopefully if I'm not

Fingers crossed you'll get it delivered for in-store pickup in the day of the release.I chose in store pick up, my house is very close to the store, it takes less than hour to walk there and pick up my copy......problems is they sometimes have shipping issue and get their supplies late and I wouldn't able to pick my copy on release day.
Hopefully if I'm notI can pick up my Deluxe Edition in release day.
And yeah, same here, I usually am more picky from where I get my games from since I like to support local game store businesses instead of big retail chains, but this time around I'm getting the deluxe from a large consumer electronics retailer (something akin to best buy) since I know they'll have it ready for in-store pickup in the day of, usually in the morning. Anyway, let's hope for the best for both of us!

Looks like they've done an excellent job realising a bigger world, depsite what would be very challenging task creating so many unique locales connected by big maps also to a high visual standard. Part 1 felt like playing a CG movie to me.
It also sounds like they've put a lot of work into making the side content more meaningful this time.

If you pre-order Rebirth you can get FF7R Intergrade (I think this includes the Intermissions DLC) for free.
Before Rebirth:
-Either play or have knowledge of the original (perhaps by watching a vid). I recommend playing it but just focus on the story, use some cheats and turn off random encounters.
-Crisis Core is not essential just watch a movie summary on YouTube.
-Play FF7R Intergrade.

Depends on who you ask. I'd say the real FF VII and then Remake. Crisis Core, IMO, is not a requirement but it can be thrown in there somewhere after VII.
I don't think so unless you buy the Deluxe and I think only available through Square's store right now. BB had a preorder steel book bonus but seems to be out of stock now.

4 years ago after playing VII Remake I swore I would not buy this game unless at a deep discount, here I am thinking about trying to get Deluxe.. what is wrong with me. How someone who is so angry about what they've done with the game can somehow get shadow hyped about the next installment is beyond me.
I guess it makes sense that Square's store still has Deluxe.. but seems like there were definitely not enough copies sent out into the wild for retailers if it sold out so fast. Or has it been on preorder for a long time? Do I have to bite the bullet and get this from Square, which will probably arrive a week after the game comes out?

This one doesn't have the novelty factor of revisiting FF7 for the first time. It will need to impress on its own merit. I am cautious but hopeful it will deliver on the true full vision of what Remake promised and didn't quite attain.

If you felt that way, definitely don't feel pressured to grab the deluxe from the SE store. Although there are a few things I really dislike, I really enjoyed Remake, and even I was on the fence about the deluxe preorder. I ended up just waiting for a restock from Amazon and put an order in there the other day because of how bad people's experiences with the SE store was, and because they charge $10 for shipping alone. Based on how FF16 went (sold out multiple stores prior to release) there will be plenty of stock during and after launch from all major retailers.

Not that I care what these people think, but I gotta go on a full blackout soon. Spoiler dodging is always hell.

Just finished Crisis Core. Yep its essential to understand what who why of Cloud and Sephiroth. Also now I get why peoples mind were blown at the end of Vii Remake with a certain character.

So you are saying that even though they are sold out now a month before release, they will have more on release date..?? Doesn't seem right though - honestly I can't at all remember the situation with XVI, I had an easy time getting the deluxe for that sometime shortly before release.

Watch as part II ends right after they leave the Gold Saucer.

I think they outright said it ends at the Forgotten Capital.

This should be good. My copy is ready for preload.

I'm currently playing Crisis Core, it's absurd how much content they reused in Remake.
LavitzSlambert

There was one point a month or two out where it was completely sold out, then it got restocked. I saw deluxe editions still in the wild as late as Black Friday, and super discounted. I don't expect it will be quite that common, but it would be hard to believe all deluxe copies would be sold out this far out from launch with no more inventory to come.

One good thing about SE using Unreal engine is mods.

So pretty late for eastern, so demo drop will really probably be tomorrow night, so maybe I can try it out Wednesday.

Heads up for anyone after the Deluxe, seems like Best Buy is back in stock for the time being:
I miss the days when internet sales were tax free. Adds up!

Any value to this physical CE? I have it purchased on PSN already like every other game I get. lol it’s temping when there’s a CE for Final Fantasy.

Dunno, eye of the beholder I guess. Some kind of music CD, art book of decent size (I think?). Steelbook in case you didn't get one from BB preorder, that's about it. I just like physical games and if I'm spending 75, might as well spend 30 more I guess.
