Vi har allerede hørt fra Square Enix' egen mund, at Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth ikke bare kommer til at byde på en hovedhistorie der vil tage godt og vel 40 timer at gennemføre, men at selve spillet tilbyder omtrent 100 timers indhold. Det er ret omfattende, og det skyldes så også at de har kigget på et af de mere omfattende RPG-ikoner nogensinde som inspiration.
I et interview med Game Informer siger Co-Director Motomu Toriyama, at de kiggede meget på The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, da de skulle sætte rammerne for indholdsmængden, antallet af sidemissioner og meget mere:
"For Rebirth, we took care of having this select number of side content, which we truly worked to develop in depth. This was a large consideration for us, allowing players to experience various forms of gameplay through the side content. In that way, I believe we were able to achieve a distinctive flavor among similar titles. Regarding titles like The Witcher 3, which has that open-world role-playing type element, we did some extensive research into these types of titles and looked at it as a baseline in which Rebirth should be a type of title that can stand alongside it and have the type of content that would be satisfying to its players."
Historisk set af den type spil aldrig rigtig haft tilfredsstillende sideindhold. Mon Rebirth kan ændre på det?
