New evidence suggests Square Enix will release a demo for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth during Sony's next State of Play broadcast.
It seems that a demo is indeed coming imminently. As spotted by Wario64 on X/Twitter, a trailer for a Final Fantasy VII Rebirth demo can currently be seen on the Explore tab on the US PSN.
This trailer appears on the US PSN for now, but has not appeared in other territories at this time.

It would appear the trailer has been published early, as it says "demo available now." We can probably assume that was meant to air during the State of Play on February 6.
As someone who actually didn’t really enjoy the combat in FF7R, they have done at least one thing in this demo to make it feel a lot better to me: Cloud is faster.
In the first game, Cloud to me felt slow, and it felt like every other moment he was being hit and knocked to the ground. And he took five hundred years to stand back up.
In the demo so far as I’ve played, that’s not the case any more. He does get hit and knocked about, but he recovers a lot faster. And switching modes seems faster. Even his slower mode of attack feels faster. I feel like in the first game I didn’t make him switch his attack modes as often as I probably should because he took so long to switch he’d be open to attack, and when he got attacked he’d just fall down all the time. It remains to be seen how the full game is, but in this demo all of that garbage feels better. And I’m happy about that.
Yeah I got annoyed as hell that they split it into two just to gouge players. Also I was never a fan of ff7, but gave the reboot a try, still didn't like it.
Point is, they are not stuck. It is far from the only thing they are making. They just have created an amazing world with FFVII with great lore, great characters, and an amazing story. Multiple games taking place in that world is not that crazy of an idea, nor is it uncommon in the RPG genre. Some of the games sucked, the remakes are awesome. It's grown beyond a single game at this point, it's a series. Making more games in a series, does not make a company stuck, especially when they are still release games in other series.
It's a fan favourite, often by a large margin. It makes sense in every way to not only finance something that will sell, but will also bring more content to the fans and life to the game. If fans didn't want it, they would reject it, and they're not doing that.
