Stepping into Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's North Corel is like entering another world. From the resort beaches of Costa del Sol to the dilapidated shacks and barren grounds of a settlement long still recovering, the town is a somber look into the remnants of Shinra's wrath. The ghosts of North Corel are still clearly present, as its people lament the loss of their families and turn that anger toward Barret, whose backstory comes alive through their pain. The way Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth renders North Corel within the rest of the region shows just how effectively it conveys this tragedy, moving between the glitz and glamor of Shinra's tourist attractions to the harrowing losses from their influence.
