Hamaguchi explained that the world map in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is vast and expansive, with not all locations being part of the main story. Players who want to delve deeper into the Final Fantasy VII setting can explore all corners of the world, uncovering new stories, battles, and mini-games to enjoy. Additionally, they can revisit any region even after progressing past the main quest, ensuring nothing is left behind or unfinished.

The game is scheduled to be released on February 29, 2024, exclusively for PlayStation 5, and will remain exclusive to Sony's latest console for a minimum of three months.
