What should you play before Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?

To get the most out of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, you should play Final Fantasy VII Remake (including its Intermission DLC) and ideally Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion first, as they build directly on Remake's story and character context, especially regarding Zack Fair, but playing the original FF7 provides deep lore for the entire compilation. The essential path is Remake -> Intermission -> Rebirth, with Crisis Core Reunion adding crucial prequel context for key characters like Zack.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth - 10 Things Wish I Knew Before Starting

Is cloud actually zack?

No, Cloud isn't Zack, but due to trauma and Jenova cells, Cloud creates a false persona by merging his memories with Zack's, adopting his history, fighting style, and mannerisms, believing he was the SOLDIER, when he was actually Zack's sidekick, a regular infantryman. Zack Fair was Cloud's heroic role model and best friend, and after Zack's death, Cloud's mind, influenced by Jenova, filled the gaps by layering Zack's memories and personality onto himself, making him think he was Zack.

Can I play Rebirth without playing Intergrade?

No, you don't strictly need to play Intergrade (the Yuffie DLC) before Rebirth, but it's highly recommended because it introduces Yuffie and Sonon, explains their motivations, and directly sets up events referenced in Rebirth, making the story clearer and more impactful without skipping crucial context. It's short (two chapters) and enhances understanding of Yuffie's role and the game's new Synergy mechanics, so playing Remake > Intergrade > Rebirth is the best way to experience the story.
