Those who pre-order the Amazon Exclusive Edition of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth can get a limited PS5 controller skin. The skin has the game's logo in the middle, Cloud on the left side of the controller, and Sephiroth on the right.
You can get a closer look at the exclusive controller skin below:
The controller skin will only cover the front half of the device. Since it's just a skin, you can attach it like a sticker, but it won't provide any extra protection like a cover or case. Another bonus you can get from pre-ordering Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the Midgar Bangle Mk. II Armor. However, this does not seem to be exclusive to Amazon. Gamestop, for example, also promotes the bangle.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will be the direct sequel to Final Fantasy VII Remake. It'll be the second entry in the planned trilogy remaking the original Final Fantasy VII. New playable characters that weren't always around in the first game include Yuffie Kisaragi and Cait Sith. Like the first game, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will use real-time combat rather than the classic ATB gauge turn-based system from the original Final Fantasy VII.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will come out on February 29, 2024, for the PS5, and if you pre-order from Amazon, you can get an exclusive controller skin.
