Square Enix has been sharing screenshots comparing Final Fantasy VII, which was released on PlayStation back in 1997, to the 2024 remake Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. In their latest comparison, the developer showed the massive differences between the original Bottomswell battle and the updated version players will experience in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
In the screenshot of the original release of Final Fantasy VII, the Bottomswell boss is shown floating above the shore of Under Junon while fighting against Cloud, Tifa, and Yuffie. In the 1997 version, the battle is instigated when Bottomswell attacks a young girl named Priscilla, who is playing with her aquatic friend, Mr. Dolphin. In the screenshot from FFVII Rebirth, the boss looks terrifying as every slimy scale on its body is now presented with its detailed high-definition model. The side-by-side screenshots also show the contrast between the original's turn-based battle system and the real-time action combat featured in the modern remakes.
The comparison screenshots of the Bottomswell battle can be viewed below:
