"Unveiling the Impact of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Its Connection to the FF7 Universe"
TL;DR
The upcoming Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, launching on February 29, will heavily incorporate the storylines from the spin-off games The First Soldier and Ever Crisis. The First Soldier, an ill-fated battle royale game, and its original story chapters are set to tie into Rebirth and potentially impact the third game in the Remake trilogy. Players are encouraged to catch up on these spin-off storylines before the release of Rebirth to fully appreciate the connections and implications.
