On the official Final Fantasy VII Remake social media account on October 3, 2023, Square Enix showed off the new Synergy Abilities mechanic that will make its debut in the upcoming game FFVII Rebirth. Essentially, it explained the feature in a little more detail. A video was also included that previewed what Aerith and Tifa, Red XIII and Yuffie, and Barret and Cloud’s synchronized abilities will look like in the game while working together as a team.
You can view the video in the post below:

According to the post and what we’ve learned so far, FFVII Rebirth players can pair two party members together for Synergy Abilities. When doing so, players can synchronize their skills to unleash a powerful paired skill. When using Synergy Abilities, each character drains the ATB gauge. Additionally, the number of potential techniques that can be used increases as the party level also increases. We already received an introduction to some of Red XIII’s abilities with Barret, Aerith, and Cloud in a gameplay preview for the now fully playable character.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will be released on PS5 on February 29, 2024. Its exclusivity arrangement ends on May 29, 2024. FFVII Remake is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC. You can also find FFVII Ever Crisis on mobile devices.
