This is the megathread for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth release. Any discussion for the game should be in here for the next 4 weeks while we have a post embargo on the game (other games are still ok), after EOD 28th March you will be free to create threads for the game and this one will be unpinned.

Spoilers are permitted in this megathread, so if you do not wish to be caught out by them, I recommend not reading any further.

As always, please be respectful of others.
