Ahead of its release in just over a month, Square Enix has shared a new preview and trailer of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth now it’s available to pre-order.
The new blog post shares information on some of the locations and characters in the game, including an explanation of how Cait Sith will fight in battle.
Fans of the original game will be aware that Cait Sith usually fights atop his moogle companion, but in Rebirth he can fight solo too.
His basic attacks see him fighting alone “with the agility of an acrobat”, but he can then mount his moogle to change up his abilities and enhance his attacks.
Cait Sith’s abilities all rely on luck in some way – a bit like his limit break in the original. And once the Moogle Meter is filled, he can buff companions. I also love how fluffy he looks.
The blog post also reveals a new character: Captain Titov. He captains the Shinra-8 ship that travels between Junon and Costa del Sol and emcees “various festivities held aboard his vessel” – perhaps a hint at a more elaborate section here.
Also detailed are Yuffie, who’ll battle similarly to in the INTERmission DLC, as well as Turk member Elena.
The new trailer, meanwhile, hints at some fiery, iconic scenes; shows off some more synergy moves in battle against monstrous reptilian bosses; and alludes to more of Sephiroth’s story.
