Square Enix and The First Take released a special video to commemorate Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. This video combines footage from Tomoya Nakamura’s first time playing the game, as well as Loren Allred’s performance of “No Promises to Keep” on The First Take’s channel.
The video is a little over six minutes long. It starts with Nakamura sitting down to prepare to play the game. Meanwhile, Nobuo Uematsu and Allred settle down to prepare their performance. For reference, Uematsu is a long-time composer for Final Fantasy games. While he didn’t help compose the soundtrack for the game, he wrote the main theme of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Loren Allred is the performer of the main theme, “No Promises to Keep,” and performed it at The Game Awards 2023 as well. She is known for “Never Enough” from The Greatest Showman. Finally, Tomoya Nakamura is a Japanese actor. Some of his credits include Princess Jellyfish, March Comes in Like a Lion, and Spy x Family Code: White.

As of the time of writing, the video has accumulated close to 27,500 views, and it’s been about six hours since Square Enix uploaded it.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the direct sequel to Final Fantasy VII Remake. Like Remake, it is not an actual direct remake of the original Final Fantasy VII, and features new mechanics and an updated story. One of the changes includes the inclusion of Synergy Attacks, which you can see in the video as well.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is readily available on the PS5. The console exclusivity arrangement will end on May 29, 2024.
