It starts above with the State of Play trailer.

Then Sqaure Enix has a collation of all the previews on their offical website:

This covers the mission with Sephiroth and exploration of the Junion region. I really liked Maximillion Dodd's gameplay analysis.

Then we have the TGS stage demo of the 'grasslands' region:

Lets talk about it!!

With the game being more open, I'm optimistic that my biggest criticisms from Remake will be resolved. Terrible side content and painfully obvious padded out story.

Rebirth is looking great!

As a side note, I played Crisis Core for the first time ever earlier this year through Reunion and Zack Fair turned into one of my all-time favorite video game characters! So I'm really looking forward to seeing how his new story in Rebirth will play out. 

Looks amazing, day 1 for sure.

There are no words to describe how excited I am for this game.

However, I want to avoid watching more videos and reading info from it. I saw enough, and I want to be surprised when playing it.

Hyped for this ,cant wait.

TGS was interesting. But I didn't get to play FFVII Rebirth due to the massive lines. Over 1 hour to have a chance to play. Thinking about going for 2 days in 2024.

Well, this dampens my excitement ever so slightly. I'm so tired of Ubisoft-style open world design......

Apparently, this doesn't open up the map like Zelda or AC or anything, it just pinpoints a few locations of interest.

Correct, they showed this in TGS stream, i am glad its this way.

Hmm, interesting spin on the concept. So with it incorporating Chadley, does this have to do more with his Intel Reports from Remake? Rather than "open section of map, here's everything to do in that zone"
