Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC: A Comprehensive Guide
The highly anticipated second installment of the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, arrives on PC on January 23, 2025. Unlike its predecessor, this PC release offers multiple editions, pre-order bonuses, and save data rewards. This guide breaks down everything you need to know to choose the perfect edition for you.
Where to Buy Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC
PC gamers can purchase Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Unfortunately, a GOG release is not planned, limiting options for DRM-free players. Both Steam and Epic Games Store offer the game at the same price.
Pre-Order Bonuses and Save Data Bonuses
Pre-Order Bonuses
Pre-ordering Final Fantasy VII Rebirth before January 23rd, 13:59 (UTC) unlocks these bonuses, regardless of edition or storefront:
- Summon Materia: Moogle Trio
- Armor: Shinra Bangle Mk. II
- Armor: Midgar Bangle Mk. II
Note: These items might be sold separately later. However, a significant incentive to pre-order is the current 30% discount on all editions, valid until release.
Save Data Bonuses
Carry over your save data from Final Fantasy VII Remake to unlock additional content:
- Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade main campaign save: Unlocks Leviathan summoning materia.
- INTERmission DLC campaign save: Unlocks Ramuh summoning materia.
Ensure you use the same account and have the save data on the PC where Rebirth is installed.
Different Editions of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC
Two editions are available: Standard and Digital Deluxe.
Standard Edition
Priced at $69.99 ($48.99 with pre-order discount), the Standard Edition includes the base game and the Posh Chocobo summoning materia (included in both editions). This is the most economical option for those focused solely on the core game.
Digital Deluxe Edition
The Digital Deluxe Edition ($89.99, or $62.99 with pre-order discount) adds:
- Base Game
- Digital Art Book
- Digital Mini Soundtrack
- Summon materia: Magic Pot
- Accessory: Reclaimant Choker
- Armor: Orchid Bracelet
Digital Deluxe Edition Upgrade
For Standard Edition owners, a $20 upgrade grants access to all Digital Deluxe Edition extras.
Is the Digital Deluxe Edition Worth It?
For most players, the extra cost of the Digital Deluxe Edition might not be justified. While the art book and soundtrack are nice additions, the in-game bonuses are minor and don't drastically alter gameplay. The Standard Edition provides excellent value for those prioritizing cost savings.
