“The Beginning of a New Era in Junon” is a free update to the existing demo in which Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Aerith and Red XIII arrive near Junon, a fortress housing an underwater reactor. In this preview created especially for the demo, players will explore a small part of the game’s huge world, namely the area around the port city of Junon, several hours after the start of the main quest. They’ll be able to unearth treasures with their trusty chocobo mount, craft precious items with synthesis, bravely accept hunting missions, and more.

Now is the perfect time to download the two-part demo and prepare for the worldwide release of FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH. Players who complete the first part, “A Hero’s Fall in Nibelheim”, will receive a bonus mogrigri and survival kit. They will also be able to skip the corresponding section in the full version of the game when it is released** to get a head start on their adventure. Of course, they can also decide to replay this section of the game.

Save data for the “Beginning of a New Era in Juno” section cannot be transferred to the full version of the game, as the content has been condensed for the occasion. However, fans and new players alike will have the opportunity to discover new forms of exploration, as well as new synchronized skills and the strong bonds between characters they reveal during breathless combat.

Bonus mogrigri and survival kit

A patch for the demo has also been released. It will be downloaded automatically. It brings some minor graphical corrections, as well as other modifications.

Named Most Anticipated Game of 2024 at the Game Awards, FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH is the latest instalment in the critically acclaimed FINAL FANTASY VII remake project. Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Aerith and Red XIII flee the dystopian city of Midgar and explore the vast world in this new independent adventure that takes you to the four corners of an immense planet full of life. In pursuit of Sephiroth, a being fresh from Cloud’s past and determined to control the world, these unlikely heroes join forces with new companions such as Yuffie, the valiant shinobi, and Cait Sith, a mocking robotic cat. Control these characters in battle to defy destiny. Explore familiar locations, now more detailed than ever. Enjoy dozens of hours of side content, hunting missions and mini-games, and discover the rich history of the planet’s different peoples and cultures.

After completing the demo, players craving FINAL FANTASY VII will be able to download FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS, the popular mobile RPG with over 7 million downloads, available free on the App Store, Google Play and STEAM, and take part in a temporary in-game crossover with FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH.
