Director Hamaguchi, during an interview with Gillen McAllister of PlayStation, revealed that Red XIII will have a different playstyle compared to the Remake. The beast resembling a red lion will have “his own unique “revenge gauge” mechanic. His revenge gauge charges when he guards against enemy attacks, and he can spend that charge to use various abilities once the gauge is filled” in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

Although there has been no update on the size or complete character list for FF VII, it was revealed that the game will take at least a 100 hours to complete.
