Square Enix Causes Havoc in Japan by Mislabelling Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Discs [IGN]

As reported by Gematsu, the once boasted two-disc physical edition of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has had a bit of a misstep, as a manufacturing error has seen every Play Disc printed with “Data Disc” and every Data Disc printed with “Play Disc”.

Square Enix issued a statement on its Japanese website announcing the error and explaining to players they’ll need to swap the discs during the installation process. “We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused,” it said.

Square Enix advertised the two discs boldly when it announced Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s launch window, putting “on two discs” on the big screen to the amusement of fans.

The highly anticipated sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake arrives tomorrow, February 29, and lets players explore iconic locations from the original like Gold Saucer and Junon. The latter can be explored in the recently updated demo too.

In our 9/10 review of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, IGN said: “Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth impressively builds off of what Remake set in motion, both as a best-in-class action-RPG full of exciting challenges and an awe-inspiring recreation of a world that has meant so much to so many for so long.”
