01:14 Cloud, bring me the black materia.
01:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:21 The beginning of the end.
01:29 The celebration of the faithful.
01:32 A watershed moment for all mankind.
01:35 Hey, kids.
01:39 Sorry we're late.

01:43 [GRUNTING]
01:46 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:49 You're going to pay.
01:59 Now, who wants to be the first lucky lady?
02:03 Hey, boss.
02:04 Your guests are here.
02:06 [GRUNTING]
02:09 [LAUGHING]
02:11 At long last, the day returns.
02:15 I refuse to be upstaged a second time, my friend!
02:22 [GRUNTING]
02:25 Good, Cloud.
02:27 Very good.
02:30 Fill your hollow heart with rage.

02:37 [FOOTSTEPS]
02:40 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:44 I'm back now, Aerith.
02:46 I'm back.
02:47 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:50 We ask that you retrieve it, the black materia,
02:57 key to our oblivion.
02:59 Please.
03:01 It alone can liberate us from this endless dream.
03:05 Passing through you.
03:10 Tifa!
03:12 Woo!
03:13 Hey, guys.
03:14 They're getting some sun, too, huh?
03:17 Yeah.
03:18 Well, Red, how do we look?
03:21 Huh?
03:22 [CLEARS THROAT]
03:23 You should get yourself a reading.
03:28 It's got to be hiding some ginormous materia.
03:32 Woo-hoo!
03:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:36 [GRUNTS]
03:42 Whoa!
03:43 Hold this thing over right now!
03:45 You said that Sephiroth is your foe.
03:48 I have a history with him.
03:50 You wouldn't believe what he can do.
03:52 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:55 [INAUDIBLE]
03:58 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:02 [GIGGLES]
04:03 Wait.
04:04 Don't misunderstand.
04:05 You'll need a way home.
04:07 So when you're ready, I'll be here.
04:09 An emissary from Wutai is here, sent by Viceroy Saru.
04:15 With all this goddamn blood on my hands,
04:19 how could I ever hold my daughter again?
04:22 Those we hate, those we love, those we fear,
04:27 Jenova would become anyone to fool her prey.
04:29 Don't do this!
04:30 But I'm no fool.
04:32 Sephiroth!
04:33 Hey!
04:35 No, not you.
04:40 Here, take it.
04:43 This isn't about me, though.
04:45 It's about saving the world and you.
04:49 A reunion, when spite and sorrow are harvested to feed the planet.
04:56 No!

05:58 I'm waiting, Cloud.
06:00 In Final Fantasy VII Remake, Cloud and his companions triumph over destiny.
06:10 Leaving the city of Midgar behind, they step out into an unfamiliar wilderness.
06:17 It is here that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth begins.
06:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
06:27 [MUSIC PLAYING]
06:29 The stage upon which this ragtag band story unfolds is both vast and varied.
06:36 The world is made up of multiple regions, all seamlessly interconnected.
06:42 The Grasslands.
06:45 Located due south of Midgar, this is where Cloud and the gang resume their adventure.
06:54 The Junon region.
06:56 Where a metropolis by the same name overlooks the ocean, a symbol of Shinra's military might.
07:03 The Corel region.
07:08 The resort town of Cosa del Sol adorns its northern shore,
07:12 while the Gold Saucer stands as a gilded oasis above the Dust Bowl far to the south.
07:22 The Gengaga region.
07:24 Pay tribute to Zack by exploring his hometown, or visit what remains of the local Mako reactor.
07:30 The Cosmo Canyon region.
07:34 Become one with the planet as you return to Red XIII's roots.
07:39 The Nibel region.
07:44 Take a trip down memory lane with Cloud and Tifa,
07:48 or stop by Shinra Manor, where Vincent rests in peace.
07:52 Your adventure will even extend to the high seas!
07:57 There's more to do than simply walk around, however.
08:03 First, let's look at World Intel.
08:06 Assisting Chadley with his research will deepen his understanding of the world,
08:11 allowing him to develop new materia.
08:16 This research takes many forms, such as wrangling chocobos,
08:20 or playing with the mooglets at their mogstools.
08:23 You may also come across sanctuaries brimming with knowledge of divine entities,
08:28 or lairs inhabited by fearsome, unique foes.
08:32 Chadley will also enlist your help in researching mysterious artifacts known as "Proto-Relics."
08:39 Each investigation is its own side story, featuring a colorful cast of characters,
08:43 exciting new minigames, and ferocious creatures.
08:47 Are you up for the challenge?
08:49 And once you recover all the Proto-Relics scattered throughout the world,
08:54 there's no telling what new developments might be in store.
08:58 Next, let's talk about Odd Jobs.
09:02 These quests offer a deep dive into the regions of the world
09:06 and the crazy characters who inhabit them.
09:09 As a Merc, Cloud will accept work from people he meets in his travels,
09:14 and team up with his pals to solve their troubles.
09:17 By helping those in need, he will also strengthen the bonds between him and his comrades.
09:24 Each one of these Odd Jobs boasts a unique side story.
09:30 Some, like Johnny's questline, borrow aspects from the original FF7,
09:35 while others highlight content exclusive to Rebirth.
09:39 You'll find all sorts of jobs the world over.
09:43 And don't worry if you leave some for later.
09:46 Story progression won't affect your side hustle.
09:49 You can always go back to tie up loose ends,
09:52 and this freedom to experience the story how you want is one of Rebirth's greatest strengths.
09:59 While some minigames are tied to World Intel and Odd Jobs,
10:04 many are not.
10:06 For example, popular ones from the Gold Saucer,
10:11 such as 3D Brawler, G-Bike, and Chocobo Racing,
10:16 are in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, too.
10:19 Others improve upon their remake versions,
10:24 while still more are completely new to Rebirth.
10:32 We've even fleshed out some of the minigames that were featured
10:35 as part of the original Final Fantasy VII's main scenario.
10:39 Though this one is not in the original,
10:44 I highly suggest you check out the card game, Queen's Blood.
10:48 No matter where you are in the story, it's sure to both challenge and entertain you.
10:53 Enjoy collecting all the cards and building your own unique decks.
11:00 He's planning to use the Black Materia, but I won't let that happen.
11:04 He has to be stopped by a Sceptra, and I'm the last.
11:10 While minigames and map exploration are a big part of Rebirth's charm,
11:15 there's more to it than just that.
11:17 Rebirth provides a cinematic experience
11:20 with even higher quality content and more of it than Remake.
11:26 This installment follows Cloud and company after they escape Midgar,
11:30 up through to their arrival at the Forgotten Capital.
11:34 We've taken painstaking care to depict how the group bonds during their journey,
11:41 one that ultimately decides Eret's fate.
11:45 Once you finish Rebirth, I'm sure you'll agree that no other game
11:50 makes you feel quite this close to its characters.
11:53 Not even him.
11:55 As for the graphics, Rebirth makes full use of the PlayStation 5 and its SSD,
12:05 meaning we could use much higher resolution assets than we could in Remake,
12:10 and they will still load in the blink of an eye.
12:14 Maintain a 60fps frame rate with Performance Mode.
12:23 [MUSIC]
12:27 Or prioritize 4K resolution with Graphics Mode.
12:32 Whichever you prefer, Rebirth has you covered.
12:38 Each character interacts with the world in their own way.
12:43 Barret shoots objects.
12:46 Yuffie swings across gaps.
12:52 Tifa has her grappling gun.
12:55 Red can climb along walls.
12:59 Cait Sith grabs and throws items.
13:04 And Aerith manipulates the Lifestream.
13:10 Whatever challenges you face, your teammates will be ready to help you overcome them.
13:19 Now for the music.
13:21 We wanted to pay respect to the original FF7's tracks,
13:26 but also challenge ourselves by matching the feeling of each scene,
13:30 which resulted in some truly innovative arrangements.
13:34 Like, for example, the following.
13:38 [MUSIC]
13:43 [MUSIC]
13:46 How was that?
13:51 If you enjoyed what you heard, we recorded well over 400 new tracks for this game,
13:57 so there's plenty more where that came from.
13:59 Thank you for choosing Bronco Cruises.
14:04 We sincerely hope you enjoyed your trip with us.
14:07 Your party's bonds aren't just reflected in the story,
14:11 but through gameplay as well.
14:13 The choices you make throughout your adventure
14:18 will change the way your comrades feel towards Cloud.
14:22 These feelings affect who will join you on a date in the Gold Saucer,
14:29 something I'm sure many of you are excited about.
14:32 In fact, even allies who weren't available in the original FF7
14:39 can now accompany you, provided you play your cards right.
14:43 The Saucer is packed with many incredible sights to see and things to do,
14:50 so your outing there will no doubt be a highlight of the game.
14:56 Already have someone who you'd like to go with?
15:07 Well, we hope they feel the same way too.
15:10 Your companions will share a bond not only with Cloud,
15:21 but with each other as well.
15:23 Your party level, a numerical expression of this bond,
15:30 will increase as you overcome challenges.
15:33 I'm going to accompany you.
15:35 The higher this level,
15:39 the more skills will become available in your character's folios,
15:44 a mechanic new to Rebirth.
15:46 By unlocking the skills etched in these tomes,
15:50 your characters will grow stronger and learn new synergy commands.
15:55 Part of what makes Rebirth's combat so fun
16:01 is all the different character combinations.
16:04 Switch up your team to fit the situation, or even your mood.
16:10 Every possible party combination has its own unique synergy commands.
16:16 So once you find characters that work for you,
16:21 focus on tweaking their skills to match your combat needs.
16:25 And don't be afraid to experiment.
16:29 You can reset your folios at any time.
16:32 With new characters and synergy commands at your disposal,
16:39 Remake's satisfying hybrid of action combat and strategic planning
16:45 has been made even more dynamic and engaging.
16:48 We can't wait for you to experience all this and more
16:53 in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PlayStation 5.
