Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Still Surprises with Hidden Combat Depth

Even after more than a year on the market, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth continues to impress players with just how deep its combat system truly is.

While most fans recognize the game for its cinematic presentation and faithful reimagining of the classic story, dedicated players are still uncovering hidden mechanics that add surprising layers of strategy.

Recently, YouTuber Brad Man showcased two lesser-known mechanics tied to Tifa’s Overpower skill and Red XIII’s Crescent Claws and Reaper Touch abilities. In particular, Tifa’s Overpower carries hidden properties that allow her to juggle even the heaviest foes into the air, opening up stylish combos and making battles far more dynamic than the game itself ever explains. These details are left undocumented, leading many players to underestimate what is arguably one of the most polished combat systems in modern RPGs.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth originally launched on PlayStation 5 on February 29, 2024, before arriving on PC a year later. The PC version quickly became a playground for mods, adding quality-of-life tweaks, visual enhancements, and even entirely new mechanics. Despite the mods, the core game remains a masterclass in combat design – something critics like Kai have praised heavily in their reviews.

Today, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is available worldwide on both PlayStation 5 and PC, with future entries in the remake trilogy almost certain to reach every major platform. And with Final Fantasy VII Remake preparing for its debut on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S, it seems inevitable that Square Enix will ensure the full saga is accessible to the widest possible audience.
