A recreation of the original 1997 RPG, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth lets us revisit more than a few classic video game locations. The demo is takes place in Nibelheim, Cloud’s hometownand that was it beautifully recreatedwith his and Tifa’s house, the Mt. Nibel reactor and of course Shinra Manor.

Not only is this version of Shinra Manor a little different from the original, but it’s also less explorable this time around (at least during the flashback in the demo, which may or may not change in the final version). Still, there are a few little interesting tidbits that you may have missed while reliving Cloud’s traumatic past.
