In a surprising turn of events, the physical two-disc package edition of "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth" has been affected by a manufacturing error at Sony Interactive Entertainment, resulting in misprinted labels on the disc surfaces.

The Labeling Error
Disc Identification Confusion
The first disc, intended for gameplay, is incorrectly labeled as "Play Disc" but contains "Data Disc" content. Conversely, the second disc, meant for data installation, is marked as "Data Disc" but holds the "Play Disc" content.
Correct Disc Usage
To navigate this issue, players are advised to follow a specific sequence (specified below) when inserting the discs into their PlayStation 5 consoles.
How to Start Playing FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH?
Step 1: Installation Process
Initially, the disc marked "Play Disc" should be inserted for data installation despite its content being the actual "Data Disc".
Step 2: Commencing Gameplay
After the installation is complete, players should insert the disc labeled "Data Disc" to start the game, which, in reality, is the "Play Disc".
*For future gaming sessions, the white disc, incorrectly labeled as "Data Disc", is the one that will run the game.
Resolution and Support
Sony Interactive Entertainment is currently assessing how to address the misprint. Players seeking further assistance are encouraged to contact the PlayStation customer support or Square Enix support center for "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth" product inquiries.
