A four-part series covers the making of Rebirth.

Square Enix just released a new four-part documentary series entitled "Inside Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth." This documentary series covers many of the aspects on what it took to create Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the second installment in a planned trilogy for this remake project. For now, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is currently a PlayStation 5 exclusive.

The new documentary will offer players and fans "candid insights and never-before-heard stories from a lineup of the series' directors, artists, designers, and voice talent." In addition, fans will learn and hear more about what it took to create the world, stories, and party dynamics.

The full playlist for these four episodes can be viewed on YouTube. I've also included the first episode as an embedded video below.

It should probably go without saying, but if you haven't yet played through Rebirth yet and are planning to do so, you should avoid watching this series.
