Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth release time announced along with disc mishap apology

Summary:

  • The release times of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth have been announced ahead of its release.
  • The title is being released at midnight ET, with the global release happening at midnight local time.
  • The developers have addressed the mislabeled disc mishap in Japan.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is onto us with the second remake of Square Enix’s three-part series of remakes. The game seeks to expand on the original title in ways more than one.

Developers Square Enix have announced the release times for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The title will be released on February 29th at midnight ET for all US regions and midnight local time for the rest of the world.

The reason for the disparity is the way the PlayStation store is set up. The store counts the US as a significant region, so all store times run on EST.

However, this means that players west of the US will get to play the title earlier, with the title releasing at 9 PM PT. Players must also remember that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is available for pre-load.

Pre-loading the title is recommended, given the size of 145 GB for download. Square Enix has geared up for the release, with many regions already receiving access to the title.

However, one mishap has ruined the gameplay experience for Japan’s FF 7 Rebirth players. The two-disc physical edition of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has had a bit of a roadblock after being shipped.

Players have noticed that the Play Disc says, “Data Disc” while the Data Disc says, “Play Disc.” Square Enix has apologized to the Japanese players and announced that players have to switch the discs during installation.

IGN’s review has already come in, with the media outlet saying that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has “remarkably continued what Remake has set in motion.”

The title is “best-in-class action RPG” full of exciting challenges and “awe-aspiring recreation of a world that has meant so much to so many for so long.”

This gives a lot of hope to the players looking to continue the journey and enjoy the original Final Fantasy 7 but on a more extensive and much grander scale, sprawling across the map and taking the players on a trip they have not been on before.
