Final Fantasy VII Rebirth showcases Yuffie, Elena, Cait Sith as well as a new trailer

To celebrate the new year, Square Enix has dropped a brand new trailer hyping up their upcoming game: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. In addition, a new blog post on their official website also sheds some light on different regions of the world that can be explored, as well as introduces previews of Yuffie, Elena, Cait Sith, and a few others. More details can be found on the Square Enix website.

Regions of the world include Starboard Junon and Shinri-8

Starboard Junon: An urban residential zone within the fortified metropolis overlooking the ocean. In addition to housing for Shinra personnel, high-end boutiques and restaurants line its streets. Currently, preparations are underway here for Rufus Shinra’s presidential inauguration parade

Shinri-8: A Shinra cruise ship that ferries travelers between the planet’s eastern and western continents. After departing the port of Junon, it heads for the resort town of Costa del Sol. As part of the on-board entertainment, the ship plays host to a Queen’s Blood tournament.

New characters include Cait Sith & Moogle, Elena, and Captain Titov

Caith Sith & Moogle: This gregarious cat fights from atop his sturdy moogle mount, who provides both mobility and support during battle. When Cait’s not duking it out, his high-tech helper aids him in hacking computer systems and telling fortunes.

Elena: Though she may be a rookie, she’s as skilled with her fists and a gun as anyone else in the Turks unit of Shinra’s General Affairs Division. She and her partner Rude are tasked with pursuing the black-robed figures, which she is more than happy to do if it means being assigned a mission with Tseng.

Captain Titov: The captain of the Shinra-8, responsible for overseeing safe passage for all who travel between Junon and Costa del Sol. He’s earned a sterling reputation among his crew, thanks to his unerring devotion to his duties. This is most evident during the various festivities held aboard his vessel, which he personally – and passionately – emcees.

The blog post also dives into deeper detail on combat abilities from both Cait Sith and Yuffie, in addition to synergy attacks and combos!
