Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has a February 2024 release date locked and loaded for PS5, and after its last trailer during the September State of Play livestream showcased a ton of new information, publisher Square Enix has begun revealing a few more details. For anyone returning to the game, which takes place after 2020's Final Fantasy VII Remake, combat will largely remain the same.

Square Enix confirmed that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will have both its real-time and tactical modes intact, allowing players to hammer away at enemies with the square button, execute special attacks with the triangle button, and slow down the passage of time by entering the command menu to activate more powerful attacks and support skills.

One interesting addition to this system are synergy moves, abilities that can be used once a special gauge has been charged up, similarly to how Limit Breaks functioned in Final Fantasy VII Remake.
