Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Has ‘Preparations’ if You Missed Part 1 of the Remake

There’s yet another Final Fantasy VII Rebirth comment, and this time it suggests people who missed Remake will have a way to still catch up in part 2. Co-Director Motomu Toriyama is behind the latest bit of developer commentary. In his part, he noted there are “preparations” in place in case someone starts the second entry in the new trilogy without having played the first.

Here’s the full statement. It doesn’t mention exactly what those “preparations” might be. It could be something like an in-game catch-up system that details the events of the first installment.
