Final Fantasy 7 Revelation has a "far bigger" open world map than Rebirth, says director, and some Rebirth locations aren't the way you remember them (www.gamesradar.com)

The gist is that it's a trilogy (Remake, Rebirth, Revelation), and there are some spinoffs.

It was officially confirmed as a trilogy about 4 years ago, and unofficially known as a trilogy for a couple years before that. Revelation is the final installment.

Remake and Rebirth are awesome, and you should play them.

They also remade (or "remastered", whatever) the 2007 PSP spinoff/prequel, Crisis Core, a few years ago for PS5. It's okay, but not great. Worth playing if you're really into the series, otherwise skip.

Then there's a mobile game called Ever Crisis, which sucks like only mobile games can. If you really want to catch up on obscure side stories, just read the wiki. It's way more fun.

    I figured it out. The original game came in three parts based on the 3 disc in the original game. I remember because I had it. So they just did the same here. By time you got to start 3rd disc you could travel over the whole world.

    Technically, Rebirth (part 2) ends at the same place in the story as disc 1 of the original. Disc 3 of the original was mostly the same as disc 2, since you could do a lot of side content early or late. They just needed another disc to fit all the FMV scenes.

    So the general flow of the remake trilogy is:

    Remake: Midgar. In the original, this was the first 5-8 hours for a typical player, and included roughly 1/3 of the whole game's dialogue, so it's not as crazy as it sounds at first, even though you can speed through Midgar in like two hours if you rush.

    Rebirth: Open world up to the "big event" that ended disc 1.

    Revelation: Everything after the "big event", so discs 2 and 3. (Possibly also adapting some aspects of Advent Children and/or Dirge of Cerberus, but we'll just have to wait and see.)

    There are a couple things that were moved around. For example, we didn't go to Rocket Town in Rebirth, while that was much earlier in the original. Cid appeared in Rebirth but was not a playable party member, so they've reorganized it a bit to focus on Cid's whole story in Revelation.

    Wow thank for the explanation. I only played half way through the Remake. Played the whole original game. Sad we don't get to go to rocket city I enjoy that part.
