The tweet suggested that the sequel to the acclaimedFinal Fantasy 7 Remakewould be present at Friday’s State of Play. It was a simple post, just stating that fans should be on the lookout. It was so elaborately done that people all over the fan-base were fooled into thinking it was real.
Be on the lookout today… 🙂

In the replies, many thought that the statement may have been referring toFinal Fantasy 7 RebirthorKingdom Hearts 4,both of which Nomura is a massive part of. One user was hoping that the former game would be present at the State of Play.

Another user assumed that there may be a whole newFinal Fantasygame in development altogether. Either that orKingdom Hearts 4.
Either a new Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts 4 or something

The Twitter/X account responsible also has ‘parody account’ written in its bio. But since that isn’t one of the first things you see while scrolling the app, there’s nothing to be ashamed of if you also happen to fall for the prank.

What Do We ‘Actually’ Know About Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
So far, we’ve only had two trailers for the game. One was the reveal trailer, while the other was the gameplay trailer shown off at Summer Games Fest earlier this year. The game kicks off where its predecessor leaves off.
Cloud Strife and his friends have left Midgar and continue their journey in pursuit of Sephiroth. The game will ship on two discs, which made some fans very nostalgic, and it will initially only be available on PlayStation, similar to its predecessor andFinal Fantasy 16. Square Enix hasn’t specified a release date yet, instead only stating that the game will release in March 2024.
Square Enix has recently been putting a huge emphasis on theFinal Fantasyfranchise for the company’s profits. In fact, it was recently revealed that the company faced a $2 billion loss in value. The future of theFinal FantasyIP still looks bright despite this, and I, for one, cannot wait forFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
