Square Enix offered an update on its FFVII Rebirth launch day stream, and it confirmed that English voice actors, former IGN host Naomi Kyle, and All Elite Wresting and New Japan Pro Wrestling wrestler Kenny Omega will appear. The program will stream on the official Square Enix Twitch channel at 1pm PT/4pm ET/9pm GMT on February 28, 2024.
The activities at the event weren’t detailed. However, various people will appear to talk about the game. Here is the full list of FFVII Rebirth English voice actors who will show up at the event and the roles they play.
- Aerith Gainsborough: Briana White
- Barret Wallace: John Bentley
- Red XIII: Max Mittelman
- Tifa Lockhart: Britt Baron
- Yuffie Kisaragi: Suzie Yeung
Note that Cloud Strife’s English voice actor, which is Cody Christian, won’t be present. The voice actor for Cait Sith is also not scheduled to appear.
As for the involvement of Kenny Omega at the FFVII Rebirth event, he shared the announcement and teased, “The One Winged Angel is coming.” This is referencing the fact that he dressed as Sephiroth and came out to the theme song “One Winged Angel” at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17. It could also be a tease suggesting he’ll appear in costume at the launch stream. (He is currently taking a break from wrestling for health reasons.)
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will come to the PS5 on February 29, 2024, and the demo is available on the PlayStation Store. The game’s PS5 exclusivity arrangement expires on May 29, 2024. The FFVII Rebirth launch day stream starts on February 28, 2024 at 1pm PT/4pm ET/9pm GMT.
