Fans of the 1997 game will instantly recognize this erratic creature as Bottomswell, one of the manybosses from the originalFinal Fantasy 7.
A few new creature additions can also be glimpsed from the new trailer, as can Midgar Zolom, the mysterious serpent that’s occasionally referred to as Midgardsormr in the series' lore.

A new look at the Junon region is also part of the latest image batch, as is another depiction of the Shinra-8 ship piloted by Captain Titov, who will help the party to travel between Junon and Costa Del Sol. One of the final screenshots shared by Square Enix depicts Cait Sith riding its iconic Moogle steed through theFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthversion of Gold Saucer, a one-of-a-kind amusement park located in the ruins of Old Corel.
Given the timing of the newly shared video and Square Enix’s track record, it is plausible thatDestined for Rebirthwill end up being the game’s penultimate trailer; from here on out, fans probably shouldn’t count on many more additional looks atFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthbeyond its inevitable launch trailer prior to its release.
