Final Fantasy 7 Remake Won’t be Required to Play Rebirth

On Twitter, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth co-director Motomu Toriyama answered a question asking if players need to have played Final Fantasy 7 Remake to enjoy Rebirth. According to Toriyama, the answer is no.

The director revealed the developers have “made preparations” to ensure anyone can enjoy the game.

What exactly those preparations are remain unclear as of now. However, fans have already speculated it to mean a short recap video for those who need it.
