minigames will be in the role-playing game.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is little over a month away from release, and, in 
addition to the game's highly anticipated continuation of Remake s story, 
players can also look forward to a whole host of lighthearted side content. 

We already knew that Rebirth was set to feature several minigames, but in a 
new video interview with Game Informer, game director Naoki Hamaguchi teased 
that therell be loads for players to dive into. In particular, the chocobo 
racing minigame was pointed to as the one which has undergone the most 
changes from the original Final Fantasy 7 . 

We've adapted the chocobo race into a very modern racing game, so thats quite 
a big difference from the original, Hamaguchi said. 

In a separate interview with IGN , Hamaguchi previously revealed that 
chocobos in the races can wear different equipment to boost their stats, and 
race on a wide variety of courses. At the time, he stated that players will 
be able to spend copious hours on chocobo racing alone. 

Despite this, chocobo racing isnt Hamaguchis personal favorite minigame in 
Rebirth : Theres so many that weve worked really hard on, but personally, I 
really like the card game, he told Game Informer. 

Speaking more about Rebirth s minigames, he added that the CPR game is still 
included, but we changed it slightly, so it remains to be seen what that 
looks like in its modernized form. Otherwise, perhaps disappointingly for 
fans, there is no snowboarding in Rebirth . 

Elsewhere in the interview, Hamaguchi was asked if Final Fantasy s chocobos 
smell bad, to which he suggested that their scent might be similar to a 
horse. Given that theyre housed in ranches and stables, thats not too 
surprising, I suppose. 

 Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is set to release on February 29 on PlayStation 5 .
