Square Enix Announces Final Fantasy VII Remake Midgar Night Cruise for November 2023

During Tokyo Game Show 2023, Square Enix announced an official Final Fantasy VII Remake cruise tour called Midgar Night Cruise for November 18, 19, 25 and 26. Firstly, the following message from Reeve is presented, translated by me:

Distinguished employees of the Shinra Company!
Let’s improve the environment of our city by inspecting Midgar, the city experiencing the largest number of problems caused by the miasma attacks.
We have prepared a ship for you to board and report back to us.

The tour begins at Haneda Airport at 15:30, with departures starting at 16:00. Alternatively, you can also meet up at Kawasaki Station at 16:20, with departures at 16:50. Regardless of which group you go with, however, the tour will have its ending point at Kawasaki Station at 19:30. Note that all of the times mentioned are in Japan Standard Time (JST).

In this tour, participants can enjoy the night view of the Kawasaki Factory from the cruise ship, with a DJ on board playing Final Fantasy VII Remake soundtracks. Furthermore, there will be an event-limited collaboration drink on sale, and the tour will also have an audio guide by Reeve. A ticket for the cruise is ¥11,000, and a ticker including a hotel stay, is ¥28,000. Both are obtainable via a lottery.

Those who order a drink while on board will receive a random sticker sheet, and those who fill in a survey will receive a sticker of Reeve.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the sequel to the first entry in this ongoing Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy effort. This new entry is far more ambitious than the first, set to occur until The Forgotten Capital from the original game.

Players can look forward to playable Cait Sith and Red XIII, with Vincent also revealed, though not extensively. Gold Saucer will be a prominently featured location with plenty of minigames. Speaking of, the Junon infiltration minigame has been significantly enhanced, with Cloud directing soldiers to form specific compositions. Further, Sephiroth will be playable during the Nibelheim flashback.

Combat has undergone a shakeup, with new synergy attacks utilizing multiple party members, and Red XIII has a unique revenge gauge mechanic. However, it’s worth noting that Wutai will not be featured in this new entry, with it set to arrive in the third and final part of the trilogy.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will launch for PlayStation 5 on February 29, 2024, on two discs.
