A Vital Request Amidst Early Reviews
Following four years of anticipation, reviews for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth have surfaced today, adding to the excitement for its imminent release. With early copies already in the hands of some lucky players, Tetsuya Nomura has taken to the Final Fantasy 7 Twitter account to stress the importance of preserving the narrative experience for all players.
Nomura's Call for Caution
Nomura's message starts by reiterating streaming guidelines established earlier but emphasizes their significance as an "important request." He expresses gratitude to fans who share game-related content online but urges them to exercise caution. Nomura specifically requests the inclusion of spoiler warnings and advises against sharing images depicting "vital" story moments in thumbnails.
Nomura acknowledges that Square Enix intentionally chose not to restrict the record and share functions on PS5 for Rebirth. While the decision encourages players to share and discuss their experiences, it heightens the risk of spoilers. Nomura implores players to be mindful of what they post and to show "respect" to those who have yet to complete the game.
In his statement, Nomura emphasizes, "When posting anything that strongly relates to the game's story on social media and video sharing sites, I ask that you please make sure to include spoiler warnings so as not to affect the experience of those who have yet to play the game."
