Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC: A Comprehensive Guide
The highly anticipated second installment of the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy is finally arriving on PC on January 23rd, 2025! Unlike its predecessor, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth offers PC players 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 for PC
PC gamers can purchase Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Unfortunately, it won't be available on GOG, disappointing DRM-free enthusiasts. Both Steam and Epic Games Store will 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) grants you these bonuses, regardless of the 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 the release date.
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 data: Unlocks Leviathan summoning materia.
- INTERmission DLC campaign save data: Unlocks Ramuh summoning materia.
Ensure you use the same account and have the save data on the PC where you install Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
Different Editions of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC
Two editions are available: Standard and Digital Deluxe.
Standard Edition
The Standard Edition ($69.99, $48.99 with pre-order discount) includes the base game and the Posh Chocobo summoning materia (included in both editions). A budget-friendly option for those focused on the core game.
Digital Deluxe Edition
The Digital Deluxe Edition ($89.99, $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
Already bought the Standard Edition? Upgrade to the Digital Deluxe Edition for $20 and get all the extra content.
Is the Digital Deluxe Edition Worth It?
For most, the Digital Deluxe Edition's extra cost may not be justified. The art book and soundtrack are nice-to-haves, but the additional in-game items offer minimal impact on core gameplay. Unless the extra items are crucial to your enjoyment, the Standard Edition offers better value.
