FFVII Rebirth: New art featuring Cait Sith, Yuffie
Cait Sith and Yuffie
Additional assets for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth have been revealed ahead of its February 29 release.
New art, regions, characters, and their combat skills have been included in the upcoming second installment of the FFVII remake trilogy.
One of the new characters is Cait Sith, a gregarious cat that has exclusive moves to damage enemies or buff allies.
Under his unique abilities, Cait Sith can also ride on top of his moogle friend for a dropkick
Yuffie, meanwhile, uses star throws for quick strikes and can chain the attacks. Together, Yuffie and Cait Sith can attack in tandem for a synergy ability called the “Moogle Pinwheel.”
As announced late last year, FFVII Rebirth will debut Synergy Skills which allows players to sync up two characters for powerful attacks.
Cait Sith and Yuffie are also featured in new digital art released. Other new characters are Captain Titov, the captain of the Shinra-B, and Elena of the Shinra General Affairs Division.
Most Anticipated Game
The enormous hype surrounding FFVII Rebirth has not gone unnoticed.
Last year at The Game Awards 2023, the upcoming sequel to FFVII Remake was voted the “Most Anticipated Game” of 2024.
The title’s official theme song “No Promises to Keep” late last year. The theme song trailer gave a glimpse of first-time characters like Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine.
Also previewed was the new gameplay that takes off from FFVII Remake’s combination of action-focused melee combat and Active-Time Battle (ATB) system.
Early purchase bonus
Those purchasing the physical version will get an early purchase bonus item in the form of an originally-designed cup holder that features a Chocobo against a red background.
In FFVII Rebirth, Chocobos will be another way for parties to travel aside from walking on foot.

Ghost of Yotei gets a story expansion in October
The Complete Edition comes with the expansion and a roguelike mode.
Ghost of Yotei is a classic RPG experience set in the same universe as its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima. In my opinion, Atsu’s journey of revenge feels a lot more fun than Jin’s battle to save his homeland. If you’re in the same boat, Ghost of Yotei is coming back on October 1 with brand-new content.
Without delving too much into spoiler territory, Ghost of Yotei has a conclusive ending. Rather than shoehorning a forced epilogue, Echoes of Sekigahara, the title of the upcoming story expansion, explores Atsu’s past.
As with Tsushima’s expansion, Echoes of Sekigahara features a new map with new enemies, weapons, and collectibles. It will be set in two different time periods.
Besides the story expansion, the upcoming update also has a new mode called Most Wanted, which Sucker Punch Production describes as their “spin on a roguelike.” The mode explores Atsu’s experience as a headhunter, feeding her with bounties and earnable perks.
The two new content expansions will come with in the upcoming Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition. The new edition, coming on October 1, will also come with the co-op Legends mode. It also has a few perks and customization options. The edition will sell for US$ 70.
If you already have the base edition, you can grab an upgrade for only US$ 15. If you don’t want to pay for the upgrade, the game is still getting a few minor tweaks.
