Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a game that takes place in Quadratum, the bustling city where Kingdom Hearts 4 will take place. The setting is based on Tokyo's Shibuya district and features Sora and Sephiroth in social media posts celebrating its release. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has always been an extremely weird game with ambitious themes that touch on topics like environmentalism, dystopian government, trauma, and identity crisis. The narrative weaves together these ideas in a way that was not all that common at the time of its original release in 1997. Nearly every chapter introduces some kind of new idea or mechanic which adds to the game's janky spirit. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth manages to perfectly recapture this abrasive, shotgun-blast approach to side content and is massive and often a little messy but that's exactly what gives it so much personality.

When beginning your journey into Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, you can choose from three difficulty settings: Easy, Normal or Dynamic. The options are as follows:
Easy provides a more laid-back story-first experience with faster charging abilities and Limit Breaks. Abilities will deal reduced damage.
Normal provides a good balance of enemy difficulty and overall challenge with heavier hitting attacks and slower ATB buildup in comparison to Easy.
Dynamic scales enemies to your level and your abilities, meaning that regardless of how much or little side content you do as you progress through the game, enemies will always be on par with you.
Deception
(50%)

The author also uses sensationalism by stating 'we may have just gotten our latest look at Kingdom Hearts 4'.
