There are a lot of people who love Final Fantasy 7 more than the average player, and if that’s you, it might be worth investing in the Deluxe Edition. The base game in SteelBook case with a couple of other added extras for the $30 more it costs.
Despite being a direct sequel and the second part in a planned trilogy,Square Enixhas claimedyou don’t need to have played Remake to understand Rebirth. As much as Square has changed from the original game released in 1997 and continues to mess with its timeline, I’m not entirely sure how advisable that is. Remake is now available onPS4, PS5, andPC, so if you can find the time to play it before 2024 despite the busy final few months of 2023, I’d recommend it.
The past (almost) four years since Remae have ticked past incredibly slowly and you want everything possible from Rebirth, it might be worth looking at the Collector’s Edition. An awful lot of money, but just look at that Sephiroth statue.
PlayStation is actually offering a pretty great deal to those of you who haven’t played Remake yetthrough its twin-pack deal, despite those claims that you may play Rebirth without playing the previous game.

You can order the twin-pack through the link in the box below and get your Remake code right away, giving you a little bit of time to get through it before Rebirth’s arrival.
