Content overview: “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Lets You Play Hardest Difficulty From Start Thanks to 'Wide Variet”. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth introduces a significant quality-of-life change: players can now select the hardest difficulty from the very beginning, a feature previously locked behind completing the game. This decision, revealed in recent updates, is a direct response to long-standing fan feedback. The developers explained that the 'wide variety of end-game content' justifies allowing immediate access to higher challenges, letting veterans test their skills without first grinding through easier modes.
This shift not only respects player time but also enhances replayability, as the game's post-story content—including superbosses and hidden challenges—becomes more accessible to those seeking a sterner test. By removing this barrier, Square Enix aligns with modern RPG design trends that prioritize player choice. For newcomers, lower difficulties remain available, ensuring the game stays approachable.
