Just in case you don't know, there's another State of Play broadcast tonight, featuring Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. It's probably going to be the game's last big blowout before it releases on the 29th February — which is just over three weeks away! — but will you actually be watching the show?
The real reason we ask is because, as has become typical of Square Enix, it feels like we've already seen way too much of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The Japanese publisher has a habit of revealing key plot points and other surprises in its marketing campaigns, and Rebirth has been no different. We've already seen all of the playable party members in action, we've been treated to the Gold Saucer and its minigames, and we've gawked at whole chunks of gameplay from the title's all-important Nibelheim prologue.
But maybe you feel differently — perhaps you're still waiting to be fully sold on Rebirth, and so you'll be watching tonight's broadcast. Whatever your plans, vote in our poll, and then explain yourself in the comments section below.

Missing option - I won't watch the State of Play, will go straight to the demo. Looking forward to it.
Square Enix is notorious for showing too much of their games before launch, so I will not be watching this. I won't be playing the demo either since the 29th is only a few weeks away.
Who the heck put they don’t care about Rebirth lol what y’all playing? Diablo III?
Maybe if they didn't blow their budget on marketing they wouldn't need to sell 50 million copies to be happy.
I'm sold already so yeah I'm good on seeing anymore. I'm skipping the demo as well. My main focus is on LAD: Infinite Wealth at the moment. I hope to have it finished by the time Rebirth comes out but I'm not confident!
I need to play the Yuffie dlc for Remake. That'll be a pretty good primer.
Probably not. This feels kinda like a case of I already know it's just gonna be 7 remake but bigger and more. Which is a great thing. Plus I'll get to experience first hand anyway later in the day apparently
@danzoEX
Like a Dragon and Persona 3
As a long-time PS fan who was there when FF7 came out all those years ago and has seen the oversaturation of that game to the point that I can truly say that I don't care about Final Fantasy any longer. I skipped the Persona stuff during its initial heyday so that is truly new and exciting to me.
I really shouldn't because I already pre-ordered the game both physically and digitally, but I know I can't stop myself because I'm too much of an FF7 simp to miss it.
No, I'll buy it anyway + the SoP is after midnight here
I've figured out the best way to watch these is after they air and are on YouTube. I've sat thru enough Exoprimal battle pass advertisements watching this stuff live. Just picking and watching the trailers I'm actually interested in.
Will go straight to the demo, as so far no FF game has grabbed me. Let’s see if this one does, I’m hoping it does.
I bought it day 1 it was available, so only if I have free time!
nope. not playing the demo either. Just need the game to release
I feel like they shown the whole game at this point. I can wait till the end of the month now.
And playing the demo immediately after ☺️
They've shown enough to where I just want to play the demo and then the full game.
@Oh_fiddlesticks Tbf that's how it felt with FF16, but then there was way more to the story than people thought.
You had me at Tifa and Yuffie. I don't need to watch anymore
I watch the first reveal trailer and that’s it. I’m on complete black out for this game.
Would like to know about the demo, and whether I can choose which character dies
I think it’s on at 6:30 here so we’ll probably put it on while we’re preparing and eating dinner, so I’ll sort of be watching it in the background on our very small 24” kitchen tv. Unless I forget it’s on or have the time wrong.
Why does it start on the half hour anyway, is there like a 30 minute music countdown?🤷🏻♂️
No need to watch it, I'd rather play the demo and get excited that way.
No, because I don't want to have the game ruined by spoilers
Wont watch but I'll play the demo at least twice tonight.
@danzoEX I've been playing it for the last 12 years! Even though FF7 Rebirth is already preordered
I have a completely different point of view.
I'm already completely sold on it, I bought and paid for my pre-order last week but I'm still going to dial into this and play the demo. For a 100+ hour game I'm sure there will be plenty of things these trailers and showcases are not showing!
On too late for me but I pre-ordered it last year as I love FF7.
I haven’t even finished the first game. It just honestly is filled with so much….well, filler. Hope to the next one is both meatier and more streamlined of unnecessary stuff.
@MikeOrator I also was there for launch of the original.
But I wouldn't say its over saturated plus this remake is basically entirely different game, with it only having the story loosely threaded through.
I dont even like final fantasy but ff7 is something else.
Surely if you played Remake then you will have your decision already made. If you haven't played it then ignore all this as you've got a whole game to catch up on.
@danzoEX Me. FF barely moves the needle for me.
What's Final Fantasy 7?
Nah. PC release probably years away anyway unfortunately.
Square Enix always gets special treatment at these things. A whole state of play just for rebirth? You'd think the game was a first party title at this point.
Yes and no, my most anticipated game in years. I've seen too much but will still watch
No need to watch any more videos. I'm already sold on the game. But with so much to play, I'll wait for a sale and pick up a copy around summer or fall.
I still need to start Final Fantasy 16. Too many games and not enough time.
@ATaco
And why not?? Square Enix gives Playstation special treatment by putting their biggest games on the platform exclusively, you scratch my back i'll scratch yours scenario. Hogwarts also got its own state of play
Never been able to get into FF.
Is this SoP Rebirth only or are there other games being shown too? If it’s Rebirth only I won’t be watching.
@danzoEX Me. Final Fantasy 16 is the first game in the entire series that has ever looked remotely interesting to me... and it still didn't convince me to buy it. Never played a single one. They collectively do not interest me in the slightest.
I'm knee deep in Cyberpunk. So I'm good to go.
Not real interested
@Hundred_Hand_Slap oh I just did the same! It's great fun and has totally gotten me primed for Rebirth
no!! ive seen enough, no more spoilers.
Never been interested in final fantasy but I dived in and bought 16 and my god what a boring game....so I think I will just stay clear
Nope, games get shown way way to much and then on top you have leaks and then when the game releases douchebags deliberately spoiling even more. I really liked the first part so was set on playing the next installment anyway, I want to see the way the world works, enemy updates etc when I play it form the first time rather than already know 50% of it as Square don't seem to be able to control their hype train.
@OldGamer999 I'd play Remake first if I was you.
With bells on.
Nope. If they just made the remake of the old game, I’d buy it. But this, 5 part thing, spread out over years, buying and playing in parts… with bits cut out, nah. Do a remake or don’t. Not interested.
I want to watch but I’m going to pass. I’m already a Day 1 buyer of the two steelbooks edition.
This State of Play is more for people on the fence or ones leaning no. I really hope the Soap sways a bunch of people into experiencing both Remake/Rebirth or continue onto Rebirth.
Wasn't gonna watch it but flipped through and watched the trailers and the end bit , looks absolutely stunning, packed with content and only 3 weeks away, if I was only an xbox player , I'd be so depressed right now.
Two awesome State of Plays within a week of each other! Nice!
@danzoEX Most of these polls in push square have about 40+% of people that don't care about a given game. 17% is very impressive.
Aside from the release date. I know nothing about it. It’s 100% a day one purchase. I can’t wait to play it.
Missing the option. NO - My backlog is so big I haven't played part 1 yet and don't want spoilers
@starbuck2212
Downloading the demo now, shall try it tomorrow.
@OldGamer999 I hope you enjoy it.
