Join me in attempting to clarify the absolute absurdity that is the different versions and pre-order and early purchase bonuses of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. It is absolutely nuts, I swear.
First of all, let's look at the physical editions. There are 3.
Physical Editions
FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH Sandard Edition
- Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (2 discs)
FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH Deluxe Edition
- Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (2 discs)
- Mini Soundtrack
- Artbook
- Steelbook
FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH Collectorʼs Edition
- Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (2 discs)
- Mini Soundtrack
- Artbook
- Steelbook
- FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH STATIC ARTS-SEPHIROTH
- Moogle Trio Summoning Materia
- Magic Pot Summoning Materia
- Accessory: Reclaimant Choker
- Armour: Orchid Bracelet
Early Purchase Bonus
Early purchase bonuses are bundled in-game bonuses, oftentimes in the form of codes, available to anyone who purchases before earlky stocks run out.
- Posh Chocobo Summoning Materia (DLC)
- Armour: Shinra Bangle Mk. II (DLC)
- Armour: Midgar Bangle Mk. II (DLC)
Confused yet? Hold on. It gets better.
That means, if you're going to buy physical, even if you buy early, unless you buy the Collector's Edition, you will not be getting the following:
- Moogle Trio Summoning Materia
- Magic Pot Summoning Materia
- Accessory: Reclaimant Choker
- Armour: Orchid Bracelet
Digital Editions
FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH Standard Edition
- Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH Digital Deluxe Edition
- Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
- Digital Mini Soundtrack
- Digital Artbook
- Magic Pot Summoning Materia
- Accessory: Reclaimant Choker
- Armour: Orchid Bracelet
FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE & REBIRTH Twin Pack
- Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
- Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE & REBIRTH Digital Deluxe Twin Pack
- Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
- Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
- Mini Soundtrack
- Artbook
- Moogle Trio Summoning Materia
- Magic Pot Summoning Materia
- Accessory: Reclaimant Choker
- Armour: Orchid Bracelet
Pre-order Bonus from the PlayStation Store
- Moogle Trio Summoning Materia
Early Purchase Bonus
- Posh Chocobo Summoning Materia (DLC)
- Armour: Shinra Bangle Mk. II (DLC)
- Armour: Midgar Bangle Mk. II (DLC)
If you pre-order the twin pack, you'll be able to play FF7 Remake Integrade immediately, but of course you'll have to wait for Rebirth to come out.

Final Fantasy VII Remake
- Leviathan Summoning Materia
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
- Ramuh Summoning Materia
Confused as to which one to buy to get them all? Physically, you have to get the Collector's Edition with the early purchase bonuses. Digitally, you have to get the Deluxe versions. In the future, it's very likely you'll be able to buy whatever you're missing as DLC though that's just speculation, and not 100% guaranteed. To make things a bit more clear, I made a table.
I reached out to the PR team to see if this is accurate and if there's a way to earn or buy the Posh Chocobo after launch.
