With less than 24 hours to go, the countdown to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's special State of Play livestream is on. 

Last week's State of Play brought plenty of goodies though we've been made to wait for more details on Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Don't fret, though, as the extended look at the upcoming action RPG promises "new gameplay details" – a relief if the teases of what fate awaits dear Aerith have you as stressed as me. 

Square Enix remains shtum on what else to expect, though some internet murmurs have fans hoping for a demo. In case you've forgotten, Final Fantasy 16 got a demo that lets fans try out the action-RPG's opening hours, with an additional option to continue that progress if you fancy buying in. Could Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth do the same? We might not be waiting long for an answer.
