Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake, is finally launching on PlayStation 5 after years of anticipation.

Along the way, players will encounter new environments, deadly creatures, and much more.

So, how much longer do fans have to wait to reunite with their favorite characters?
