Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Originally Didn't End At The Forgotten Capital
29.02.2024 - 14:07 / thegamer.com / Yoshinori Kitase
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is finally here, the second part in a trilogy retelling the story of Square Enix's iconic '90s RPG. And it contains an equally as iconic moment at the Forgotten Capital - if you know, you know. That's where the game ends, using that pivotal moment to cap off the journey. But it wasn't always going to be that way. Originally, Rebirth would have continued past that certain someone's death.
Spoilers for the original Final Fantasy 7 follow.
Speaking to GQ, producer Yoshinori Kitase said that the final moment where Aerith originally died was the "best turning point in the story", making it the perfect place to end part two (if you want to know what happens in Rebirth's version of events, check out our news story here).
"When we first started out, we knew the first game was going to end with the escape from Midgar," Kitase said. "The idea of where to cut off [the] second part of the trilogy wasn't actually decided. Then it naturally became apparent that the Forgotten Capital was going to be the best turning point in the story."
It's the moment we're all waiting for, eager to see how, or even if, things have changed. Does Aerith still die to Sephiroth's blade? It's the natural conclusion to our adventure given that it looms over the entire playthrough, motivating us to press on.
But it wasn't always going to be that way. While it became clear that the Forgotten Capital would neatly tie up the second part of this retelling during development, the team didn't intend for it to end there. We would've taken the grief on our shoulders and soldiered onto the Icicle Inn.
In the original game, The Forgotten Capital roughly marks the halfway point, so part three has plenty of loose ends to tie up. There are a range of iconic locales to look forward to, from Gaea's Cliff to Fort Condor to our return to Midgar. For now, though, we've got heartbreak waiting for us.
Final Fantasy Rebirth is the second part of the FF7 Remake project. It continues the story of Cloud Strife, a former SOLDIER turned mercenary who joins Avalanche, a group of eco-terrorists seeking to save the planet from the malevolent Sephiroth. As the party pushes out of Midgar, leaving the Shinra Corporation devastated, where will their paths take them?
