What Is Dear Destiny?

Dear Destiny is a companion novel to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, expanding on the events and characters of the game through prose fiction. The Japanese edition was published by Square Enix in 2025, and the English edition — translated for a global audience — is now confirmed for a Western release.

The novel gives readers a deeper look at the story that Rebirth begins to tell, including the perspectives of characters beyond Cloud’s immediate point of view. For fans who finished the game wanting more time in that world, Dear Destiny is the most direct continuation available in prose form.

Tifa, Aerith, and the Cast of Rebirth

The novel draws on the full cast of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, with Tifa and Aerith among the characters given extended focus — fitting, given how central their relationship and individual journeys are to the game’s emotional core. The prose format allows the story to breathe in ways that a game’s pacing cannot always allow.
