Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Edition Guide: Which One Should You Buy?
With the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth just around the corner, gamers are weighing their options when it comes to choosing the right edition of the game. Square Enix has provided several options, including the Standard, Deluxe, and Collector's Editions, each with its unique features and price points. In this article, we'll break down what you get with each edition to help you decide which one is best for you.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Editions: A Comparison
Here's a brief overview of each edition:
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Standard Edition
The Standard Edition is available in both digital and physical formats, priced at $70 USD. With this purchase, you get the game and not much else. However, pre-ordering the digital version comes with a special bonus: the Moogle Trio Summoning Materia. If you opt for the physical version, you'll get a physical two-disc edition of the game.
Additionally, if you haven't played the first game in the series, you can opt for the Twin Pack, which includes both Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth for the same price of $70 USD.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Deluxe Edition
The Deluxe Edition is available in both digital and physical formats, priced at $90 USD. With this purchase, you'll get:
- Digital or Physical Art Book
- Digital or Physical Soundtrack CD
Additionally, the Digital Deluxe Edition comes with the following DLC items:
- Magic Pot Summoning Materia
- Reclaimant Choker Accessory
- Orchid Bracelet Armor
Pre-ordering the Digital Deluxe Edition also comes with the Moogle Trio Summoning Materia pre-order bonus.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Collector's Edition
The Collector's Edition is a physical copy of the game, priced at $350 USD. This edition is exclusive to the Square Enix store and includes everything from the Deluxe Edition, as well as a 19-inch sculpted Static Arts statue of Sephiroth.
This edition also includes the digital DLC, making it a great option for those who want a physical copy of the game and all the digital extras.
Which Edition Should You Buy?
The answer depends on what you value most as a gamer and fan. Here are some scenarios and our recommendations:
If you haven't played Final Fantasy VII Remake, get the Digital Twin Pack. It's the same price as the game and includes both, but we wouldn't recommend splurging on the Deluxe Edition if you haven't played the first game yet.
If you're a fan but don't care about digital DLC, opt for the Standard Edition. The Deluxe Edition mostly deals in digital DLC, so if that's not your thing, stick with the basics.
If you love a physical copy, go with the Physical Deluxe Edition. No, you won't get the digital DLC, but you'll get a hard copy of the game, soundtrack, and artbook. Perfect for the fan who likes to hold the things they buy.
If you love to collect every available item, get the Digital Deluxe Edition. The extra summoning materia, armor, and items are a great perk if having access to more in-game resources is part of your gameplay priorities.
In our opinion, the Digital Deluxe Edition is the best deal if you want extra content, as it comes with the most DLC while still having a somewhat reasonable price point. However, this game is packed with content, so you'll have plenty to do even if you only opt for the Standard Edition.
