Final Fantasy VII Rebirth details Gold Saucer, Corel Prison, Vincent Valentine, Cid Highwind, and more detailed
■ New Art
■ Regions of the World
The world is comprised of multiple regions, each boasting unique environments for players to explore and experience on their adventure.
Gold Saucer
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3997576650448249cbd6aceede2320a4/2e22dd1b58096233-42/s540x810/8388e2d08f0e4b7736edc4bda6dc175027975887.jpg)
Referred to as the gilded paradise, the Gold Saucer is a resplendent amusement park on an epic scale. It is divided into seven areas, called “squares,” each with their own unique attractions. One such is the Skywheel, which takes guests high above the Saucer for an unforgettable view of the park, and has proven to be a popular date spot.
Corel Prison
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/17f58a1a820985cabea3db981c3c2e30/2e22dd1b58096233-66/s540x810/f340792553285c69730085f2d06419c03f47509d.jpg)
A sprawling slum that infests the base of the Gold Saucer. It’s almost as if the Saucer’s glimmering façade acts a beacon for vagabonds and ne’er-do-wells the world over, as they have flocked there in droves. So dangerous is the Dustbowl—Corel Prison’s slightly kinder sobriquet–that those who enter its limits are said to never return.
■ New Characters
Vincent Valentine (voiced by Matthew Mercer in English)
“Who dares disturb my slumber?”
A self-proclaimed “security” guard who hibernates in a coffin deep below Shinra Manor. This man of mystery is swathed in a red cape and boasts the genes of a monster—as well as a hidden connection to Sephiroth.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1a30a2292123495b992758afec967a10/2e22dd1b58096233-cf/s540x810/1bd186bb3f9ddccf3495f9b2c335fdd911316f9e.jpg)
Cid Highwind (voiced by J. Michael Tatum in English)
“Shinra don’t own the skies! They couldn’t stop me even if they tried.”
This rogue pilot of reputable skill runs a shuttle service out of various abandoned airstrips. After Cloud and company flag him down, he flies them around the globe in his beloved Tiny Bronco.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f5175ecd20372ba3d071f8d2e5599542/2e22dd1b58096233-0a/s540x810/34c3fac5fb3da510be1536f4569ae0b8efc40526.jpg)
Dyne (voiced by Dave B. Mitchell in English)
“You took everything from me. Everything and everyone!”
Dyne was once Barret’s closest friend, back when the two used to make their living in the coal mines of Corel. Now, he is a wanted man with a gun grafted to his left arm, and his current whereabouts are unknown.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0123f131131ab0f325c8ec2ccc3e9fb9/2e22dd1b58096233-28/s540x810/9a4f8a97877f91b4da331451dfe97f2d1ae73425.jpg)
Dio (voiced by Ian James Corlett in English)
“As park director, it’s my pleasure to welcome you to our gilded paradise.”
The charismatic owner of the Gold Saucer. Famous for his brawny physique and handlebar mustache, Dio is often found participating in his park’s parades, flexing his muscles before throngs of screaming guests.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9ee0ff903e8dd6d139886c436d2d3b60/2e22dd1b58096233-8f/s540x810/63c0c72424d84e9dcf690dcafab8bea0ac34a089.jpg)
Doctor Sheiran (voiced by Lloyd Sherr in English)
“Won’t charge for my services, but I wouldn’t turn down a blood sample neither.”
Though his clinic in North Corel may be small, Doctor Sheiran’s heart and intellect are anything but. Lately, he has been caring for the black-robed figures that have stumbled into town, and is attempting to uncover the truth behind their mysterious illness.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e3d8b42eaf1a232f9a37166a97b1f332/2e22dd1b58096233-a1/s540x810/52d75658019269af841c3238c02b528dab2245ee.jpg)
Solemn Gus (voiced by Jonah Scott in English)
“I’ll help…but only if I get a little something from you first. Understand?”
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/d8f705cdd46e240b3882a4690829637e/2e22dd1b58096233-b5/s540x810/c949671cbe1c362ffc3335c345c0d5b6cbbb5567.jpg)
The sleazy kingpin of Corel Prison, Gus is as flamboyant as he is smooth-talking. Add to that a healthy dose of showmanship, and it’s little wonder that the dregs of the Dustbowl have flocked to him.
Biggs (voiced by Gideon Emery in English)
“Why in the hell did fate pick me?”
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/36b807745bcd28a8ec468c9fca32fb43/2e22dd1b58096233-0b/s540x810/f25bc68f41eda771f8b34efe2b4e0a1c53e240d4.jpg)
After surviving the fall of the Sector 7 plate, Biggs awoke to find that he is the last remaining member of the ill-fated anti-Shinra rebels, Avalanche. Having recovered from his injuries, he now seeks revenge against the company that murdered his comrades.
■ Combat: Synergy Skills
Synergy Abilities
Powerful attacks in which two characters team up to turn the tide of battle. More abilities will unlock as you increase the party level─a numerical expression of how closely-knit your team is─and deepen the affinity between party members. Fill the synergy gauge by using abilities, then unleash a synchronized assault!
—Cloud / Aerith: “Firework Blade”
Cloud uses Aerith’s magic to unleash a ranged attack.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/79bb34f4ce42aa595950d7d31ae8d26e/2e22dd1b58096233-ab/s540x810/f5cea4d0c2c944f8e866579d4e59055d94098606.jpg)
—Tifa / Caith Sith: “Moogle Dunk Shot”
Tifa swings Cait Sith’s moogle around and launches it at an enemy.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b9748ce9f5838143d76567bf0803c3c4/2e22dd1b58096233-1b/s540x810/71a3fc649103f1805ae9b693612d01eb89150254.jpg)
■ Combat: Summons
Summons
Setting summoning materia will grant access to the power of the gods. A conjured deity will follow the player’s lead and fight enemies automatically, but you can also instruct them to use special abilities. Before they depart the battlefield, summons will unleash one final attack that will wreak immense havoc.
Titan
A titanic colossus whose arms of solid stone can rend the earth—and your enemies—asunder.
—Titan excels at both powerful melee strikes and area-of-effect attacks, such as Boulder Hurl.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/fa3126725bb7b40bf2daed1f59cb9cbe/2e22dd1b58096233-cc/s540x810/6bbf958ab5e5f30d9bf338e62cf120d83b250a81.jpg)
—Upon leaving the battlefield, Titan unleashes Earthen Fury, calling forth giant pillars of rock from deep within the earth. This imposing magic attack harnesses the power of nature to cleave your enemies’ resolve.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/57bbf3ec52ad9d0044274fd906aec50f/2e22dd1b58096233-18/s540x810/897a72976bf3a79539146b3ebcdd5dc5c6a18f65.jpg)
Bahamut Arisen
A massive dragon covered in resplendent red scales. It cuts off any possible escape routes with its lightning-quick speed, and decimates its enemies with both sharp claws and a veritable arsenal of weaponry.
—Bahamut Arisen excels at attacking in rapid succession, but can also obliterate foes with charged magic attacks from its limbs. Once its Umbral Bombardment lands, it releases two orbs of magic that fan out and annihilate all surrounding enemies.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b17085fe056d740e1929ab0bac1bc320/2e22dd1b58096233-2c/s540x810/1089e4f3bbae0907fb5b3f0be3899f7cf821f8d3.jpg)
—When it leaves the battlefield, Bahamut Arisen activates Gigaflare—an extremely potent attack that sees the dragon unleash beams of magic from its wings and maw, burning any nearby foes alive.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9a915ec254019b86da1898bb36702ea8/2e22dd1b58096233-a3/s540x810/50debb2108d8b87ba330854a42b527d3e1cc4fec.jpg)
Phoenix
A bird possessed of exquisite beauty and wings of brilliant flame. Phoenix not only flies about the battlefield assailing foes with its blisteringly hot attacks, but also heals the party’s wounds.
—In addition to engulfing enemies in flames with its wings of wildfire, Phoenix can grant buffs with healing effects. It can also revive incapacitated allies and fully recover their HP with Arise, allowing them to return to the front line and continue the fight.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/936b4a0e6cdbc47778dbbeb2a5173a8c/2e22dd1b58096233-81/s540x810/4121810ee091e502a606df9f0fab0d945aca401e.jpg)
—When it departs the field of battle, Phoenix unleashes Rebirth Flame, which recovers the party’s HP and spells a fiery death any foes within its wide range. A single feather falls from Phoenix’s wings, enveloping the battlefield in burning flames, after which the bird rises from the cinders to deal the final blow.

■ System: Relationships
Bonds of Friendship
Cloud’s actions and the way he responds to other party members while conversing with them will affect his relationship with them.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/48be275bccdabb057379c86895dfc517/2e22dd1b58096233-3e/s540x810/81611b1e3c0e2636241872a47c249249fb71c1bd.jpg)
With a strong enough bond, you may even reap some benefits, so whenever you’re faced with a decision, you might want to think hard before responding—especially if it concerns your favorite character.

Loveless
A theatrical production based on the classic epic poem Loveless.
It depicts a hero’s fight against the Dragon King, the tyrannical ruler of Guardia, as well as his love for Princess Rosa.
Thanks to the latest in VR technology, the Gold Saucer’s Golden Theatre brings this play to life like never before. Depending on your relationship with your fellow theatergoers, the person playing Rosa may even change—along with parts of the script.

Kit Connor, star of Netflix’s “Heartstopper,” makes a stellar Broadway debut as Romeo.
I can’t believe that being “all the buzz on Broadway” actually still happens irl. That’s our Kit. Alas from the reviews I’ve read it seems he’s the only part of the show with buzz. Full review’s link below.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/15502f6ca50d738e9d6531f78a176d0d/874674e27dc0973a-73/s540x810/5e126182437f4b482bc49dc5d326005d217625cb.jpg)
Romeo + Juliet review: ‘Heartstopper’ star Kit Connor shines…
Source: New York Post (X)
…Without question, Kit Connor’s Romeo is the sole reason to get thee to the theater. What an impressive, heart-stopping Broadway debut from the young British star of Netflix’s “Heartstopper.”
Any staging of this play worth its salt forces the audience, for a time anyway, to buy into the star-crossed lovers’ ill-fated romance.
That they are naive teens, their hormonal friends are killing each other over an ancient family feud and the story is set over a whirlwind five days, always makes the effort an uphill battle.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/80d10b40ec5278c59b42ebe9e9a0a643/874674e27dc0973a-e1/s540x810/59430ca3dad1a0d4d1b657fa51bbb84b4186e039.jpg)
Connor has an easy way with Shakespeare.
Connor’s soft touch, generosity of spirit and easy facility with the classical language is why we almost rally around the pair.
His YA, good-listener persona is a sublime contrast to the violent world his character inhabits. And he’s one of the only performers onstage who takes full advantage of the relatively intimate, in-the-round space, profoundly connecting with other performers and close-quarters theatergoers.
During one scene, Connor politely — frantically — begs an audience member to borrow their chair. The move would be a capital-G gimmick were he not so endearing and spontaneous while he does it.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/11cd233617bf2c25abf72632ac2f1196/874674e27dc0973a-88/s540x810/de5762fce2c0eddeab0854ac290a9f1e7ac4ce99.jpg)
Sam Gold’s Broadway staging has the vibe of a high school house party.
…Scored by dance music on a set of teddy bears and Hello Kittys…that’s bathed in…blue and pink light, you feel as though you’re a fly on the wall at a house party in the suburbs while someone’s parents are away.
…Gold’s “R+J” is also leaps and bounds better than director Jamie Lloyd’s recent drear-fest I saw in London, starring Tom Holland of “Spider-Man.”
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/aded0cea372b6a71d6f775e9af768af9/874674e27dc0973a-6a/s540x810/cf08d497d2c84ffb9e10d0707adf74eda003163b.jpg)
Juliet’s bedroom dreamily descends from the ceiling above an oasis of colorful flowers.
At points, Gold makes clever use of the lighting grid above our heads to create a sense of upheaval and unease. That’s all well and good. If only the play’s pesky lines got as much TLC as the atmosphere.
Once the audience has become accustomed to the playful, cool mood that extends into the chic lobby, they await the, er, tragedy to unfold. On that end, “Romeo + Juliet” is a let-down.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3a264502f699b627341c1cfc43c87a04/874674e27dc0973a-f7/s540x810/e71ae13f8f2d4b8c6171b995c994dcbe3a3cb01e.jpg)
The tragedy gets short-shrift in the Broadway revival.

christian and satine <3
There's a lot of stuff you'd expect on this playlist so I tried to choose songs you might not already know! Also you're the only person who asked me about these two so you get a bunch of songs haha
Don't ship these two but I love the song!
Tbh I have mixed feelings about this POTO song for Christian x Satine (*chomping at the bit, barely containing a spoiler-filled infodump/rant*) BUT out of context it is VERY PRETTY and you don't know POTO so. The vibes fit the movie characters better but you also like them so I think you will still appreciate!!
Characters I DO ship!!!!! Guy x Girl 🤝 Christian x Satine!! I LOVE right people/wrong timing romances of course haha! And Once is one of my fave things I've seen live the music is SO GOOD and it's criminally underrated
Do you want some sad Christian songs?? Regardless of your answer, I am inflicting them upon you
Want a hyper-specific song from an AU where post-El Tango de Roxanne goes differently and there is COMFORT??? (Yes. You do.)
And since NO ONE asked me about Nini (criminal tbh /j) I am making you care about my Nini playlist with me. Here is another hyper-specific song about a couple (?) on a murder road trip which I imagine takes place in an AU where Nini killed the Duke to protect Satine and now she and Santiago are on the run. Women's wrongs >>> (this also has such Sweeney/Lovett energy)
#you asked me for one song and you got. 80#in my quest to give you songs you dont already know a lot of them ended up being from the same artist haha oops#i hope you like them :)#u send me your playlists when??#i am not fandom tagging this because i dont want the [redacted] poto shippers to find it and bite me haha#nor the bangel shippers#thank you for the ask!!#beatrice.txt

Coronation Music at Westminster Abbey
The Royal Family | Published 18 February 2023
Twelve newly commissioned pieces of music will be performed at The Coronation of Their Majesties The King and The Queen Consort at Westminster Abbey on Saturday 6 May 2023, showcasing musical talent from across the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
A range of musical styles and performers blend tradition, heritage and ceremony with new musical voices of today, reflecting The King’s life-long love and support of music and the arts.
His Majesty The King has personally commissioned the new music and shaped and selected the musical programme for the Service.
Andrew Nethsingha, Organist and Master of the Choristers, Westminster Abbey, will be overseeing all musical arrangements and directing the music during the Service.
Sir Antonio Pappano, Music Director for the Royal Opera House, will be conducting the Coronation Orchestra which comprises a bespoke collection of musicians drawn from orchestras of The former Prince of Wales’ Patronages including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
Six orchestral commissions, five choral commissions and one organ commission, have been specially composed for the occasion by world-renowned British composers whose work includes Classical, Sacred, Film, Television and Musical Theatre. Commissioned works include a new Coronation Anthem by Andrew Lloyd Webber, a Coronation March by Patrick Doyle, a new commission for solo organ embracing musical themes from countries across the Commonwealth by Iain Farrington plus new works by Sarah Class, Nigel Hess, Paul Mealor, Tarik O'Regan, Roxanna Panufnik, Shirley J. Thompson, Judith Weir, Roderick Williams, and Debbie Wiseman.
Soloists will include bass-baritone, Sir Bryn Terfel; soprano, Pretty Yende and baritone, Roderick Williams. The organ will be played by Sub-Organist, Westminster Abbey, Peter Holder, and Assistant Organist, Westminster Abbey, Matthew Jorysz.
The official Royal Harpist Alis Huws will perform as part of the Coronation Orchestra in recognition of The King’s long-standing and deeply held relationship and affiliation with Wales. One of the liturgical sections of the ceremony will also be performed in Welsh.
At the request of His Majesty, in tribute to his late father His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Greek Orthodox music will also feature in the Service performed by the Byzantine Chant Ensemble.
The Service will be sung by The Choir of Westminster Abbey and The Choir of His Majesty’s Chapel Royal, St James’s Palace, together with girl choristers from the Chapel Choir of Methodist College, Belfast and from Truro Cathedral Choir. The Ascension Choir, a handpicked gospel choir will also perform as part of the Service and The King’s Scholars of Westminster School will proclaim the traditional ‘Vivat’ acclamations.
Fanfares will be played by The State Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry and The Fanfare Trumpeters of the Royal Air Force.
Sir John Eliot Gardiner will conduct The Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque soloists in a pre-Service programme of choral music. A small group of singers from The Monteverdi Choir will also join the main choral forces for the Service.
Music by the likes of William Byrd (1543–1623), George Frideric Handel (1685–1759), Sir Edward Elgar (1857–1934), Sir Henry Walford Davies (1869–1941), Sir William Walton (1902–1983), Sir Hubert Parry (1848–1918) and Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872–1958) has historically featured in the Service over the past four centuries and will be included in the programme along with the music of one of Britain’s most loved and celebrated living composers, Sir Karl Jenkins.

William Joseph Smith, III
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/a041606f893842e92ac869107b6d1e87/c2ebf535ecf5d6b4-7f/s540x810/86a0ad85ab98f9ddf8423cc0f611269c642609fb.jpg)
William Joseph Smith, III, died too soon on January 24, 2025.
Billy, as he was known to most everyone who ever knew him, was born November 28, 1983. He was a native of Forty Fort and graduated from Bishop O’Reilly High School in Kingston, class of 2002 and Kings College in 2006 with a communications degree.
Billy lived in Dallas with his beloved wife, Maura (Goodwin) Smith and their children William J. Smith IV (Billy too) and Grace Anne.
Bill was Billy to most people but he was “Big Time” to those who knew him best. He was a big guy with a big smile. Bill lived large, reveling in hosting and entertaining friends at their home. He was a fantastic cook and could reverse sear a steak perfectly in the time it took others to look it up on Youtube.
Billy loved his family and his friends, who he texted every day. Billy was a loving husband, father, son, brother and friend. His pride, love, devotion and involvement as a husband and daddy were endless and the bond he had with his entire family was one that could not be broken. He was especially proud to watch his children excel at their many activities.
Billy is survived by: his parents, Karen (Easton) Smith and William J. Smith, Jr.; maternal grandmother, Anne Easton, formerly of Forty Fort currently Wesley Village; sister Launi Klinges, brother-in-law Eugene (Kiki) Klinges Swoyersville and niece Mollie; mother-in-law Louise Goodwin Szustak and step father-in-law Joe Szustak, of Forty Fort; sister-in-law Colleen Aboff and brother-in-law Matt Aboff, niece Ellie and nephew Monte of Lloyd Harbor, NY; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and many, many friends and his loyal companion Hunter, his standard poodle.
Billy is predeceased by his maternal grandfather, Ralph M. Easton Jr., formerly of Forty Fort., paternal grandparents William J. Smith Sr. and Mollie T. Smith formerly of Wilkes-Barre, and his father-in-law, Jack Goodwin, formerly of Forty Fort.
Bill was Regional Director, Sales at Santander Consumer USA. In his younger years Bill was a standout athlete in football and basketball, earning him the moniker “the best kept secret of the Wyoming Valley”.
Later in life he enjoyed playing golf, though his tricks and secrets to improve results didn’t allay his frustrations of the game.
He was an acolyte for 10 years at Sacred Heart Church, Luzerne, assistant football coach at Bishop Hoban High School, 2003-06, Dallas Youth boys basketball coach 2024-2025 and a member of the Forty Fort Lions. He was a member of Irem Temple Country Club and the Westmoreland Club.
Billy was a lifelong fan of the New York Giants, the New York Yankees and Penn State Nittany Lions. He loved being on the water and in recent years enjoyed sailing trips with friends to the British Virgin Islands. Billy loved music especially Phil Collins, Billy Joel and the Dave Matthews Band.
Billy lived life to the fullest.
His recent motto to his wife was, “do less”.
Yet he gave the best bear hugs. That was Billy.

Pentagon Appeals Court Upholds Plea Deals in Sept. 11 Case
A Pentagon appeals panel on Monday upheld a military judge’s finding that the plea deals in the Sept. 11 case are valid, clearing the way at least for now for a guilty plea hearing next week with the accused mastermind of the attack, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed.
Col. Matthew N. McCall, the judge in the case, had ruled that Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III acted too late and beyond the scope of his authority when he rescinded the three deals on Aug. 2, two days after a senior Pentagon appointee had signed them.
Under the pretrial agreements, or PTAs, Mr. Mohammed and two co-defendants agreed to plead guilty to war crimes charges in exchange for life prison sentences rather than face a death-penalty trial. Their case, accusing them of conspiring with the hijackers who killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, in Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon, has been mired in pretrial proceedings since 2012.
“We agree with the military judge that the secretary did not have authority to revoke respondents’ existing PTAs because the respondents had started performance of the PTAs,” the three-judge panel wrote in a 21-page decision released Monday night.
