Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is building up to be something spectacular. FF7 Rebirth will be the second installment of the trilogy that looks to overhaul the original 1997 Final Fantasy 7 title. Devs Square Enix announced that they have elaborate plans for the upcoming release and fans can’t wait to see how the game plays as it releases in February next year. A 40-hour story campaign length, romance options, and a ton of customization options will look to keep players engaged in the game for a long time.

However, the visual upgrades from the original title are possibly the most noticeable feature of the upcoming entry to the long-standing series. A recent post on X highlights the major visual differences between the original and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and we can’t help but be awestruck by the technological advancements.

The first Final Fantasy game was released in 1987. Since then, the franchise has become one of the biggest-selling titles in the history of the industry. Only recently, Final Fantasy XVI was launched and it received massive approval from both players and critics. Devs Square Enix also recently announced that they plan to attract more players through a more intensive global publishing infrastructure. All these help to point out just how much Final Fantasy makes up the future plans for the company. Now, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth also looks to keep the legacy going.

In the recent post on X, we can see a side-by-side comparison of the original 1997 Final Fantasy 7 and the upcoming Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth visuals. The clip has been taken from the trailer of the upcoming FF title. In the post, we can’t overlook the massive upgrades that make the new title look like a whole different game.
