Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthwill introduce entirely new cities that weren’t in the original 1997 JRPG in order to, inSquare Enix’s words, “go deeper and create this whole worldview of Rebirth.”
Speaking toGame Informer, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi revealed that whole new cities were added in order to flesh out the in-game world.
“In Rebirth, we’ve added these types of cities like the Crow’s Nest – totally new cities that did not exist in the original to go deeper and create this whole worldview of Rebirth,” Hamaguchi said. “We reach this area after completing a quest, and then this place unlocks. The residents already know Cloud and the party are a part of Avalanche.”
