Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's creative director, Tetsuya Nomura, has asked players not to spoil the game's story, especially when it comes to the "vital" moments.
After four years of waiting, we're finally approaching the launch of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Reviews for the game just dropped today and as more players start to get their hands on it from early copies (which are out in the wild already) the game's creative director, Tetsuya Nomura, has shared a message requesting that fans are careful about posting spoilers.
The statement was shared over on the Final Fantasy 7 Twitter account and starts with Nomura repeating the streaming guidelines that were shared some time ago, but are being brought up again since they're considered an "important request". Nomura then says that he'd be grateful to anyone who is sharing anything related to spoilers online if they include warnings for the content and don't include images showing "vital" parts of the story in thumbnails.
Nomura's statement also brings up the fact that Square Enix deliberately didn't restrict the record and share functions on PS5 for Rebirth, as they want players to be able to share and comment on what they see in the game. This makes spoilers a whole lot more likely, which is why Nomura is requesting that players be extra careful about what they post and show "respect" to others who haven't yet finished the game.
"When posting anything that strongly relates to the game's story on social media and video sharing sites, I ask that you please make sure to include spoiler warnings so as to not effect the experience of those who have yet to play the game."
As well-meaning as Nomura's message is, knowing how the internet is with the smallest of spoilers, let alone a potential reworking of one of the most infamous moments in gaming history, it's unlikely that it's going to be strictly followed. Even though there are many respectful players out there who are going to wait a while before talking about the ending and what happens, there are going to be plenty of people who just want to share it around.
Even though we're still a week away from Rebirth's launch, spoilers for the game have seemingly already started being shared since last week, as some players have managed to get their hands on copies of the game. If you're looking forward to seeing what happens to Aerith, then it's worth staying off social media until after launch.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi has said that further expansions of the card game Queen’s Blood are a possibility.
Final Fantasy14's director and producer Naoki Yoshida thinks the development team may have made the game too «stress-free» for players.
The yet-untitled third installment in the Final Fantasy Remake series will remain exclusive to PlayStation consoles. After years of rumors, speculation, and hope from legions of fans, Square Enix finally released the first chapter of its modern reimagining of Final Fantasy 7 in 2020. Final Fantasy 7 Remake only told a fraction of the original’s plot, with the recently-released Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth continuing from when Cloud and the party leave Midgar until the fateful trip to the Forgotten Capital at the end of the old FF7’s second disk.
We've barely had enough time to properly sink our teeth into Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, but one of its directors has already confirmed that a good chunk of work on the third and final part of the Remake trilogy is already complete.
Square Enix has released the launch trailer for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which is out worldwide right now. But you don’t necessarily need to watch it – you’re good. After all, you’ve made it this close to launch without spoiling yourself, right?
Players have been gushing about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth since its launch last week, and there’s a good reason for that: the game is incredible by all meaningful accounts. Just as important, the title expanded upon the game’s lore, world, and more to ensure that gamers had the best experience within it. Remember, the original “remake” title was set entirely within Midgar, with the team at Avalanche only getting out of the city after a clash with Sephiroth. However, while the Square Enix team did make the world vast, they ensured that there was still plenty to explore within the next entry, which will finish the story.
With Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth finally available for the PS5 almost four years after the first part, all eyes are now on the final part in the trilogy. Creative director Tetsuya Nomura confirmed development had begun in June 2022, while director Naoki Hamaguchi said last month that the script is making progress.
Actor Jonathon Bailey was "determined" to continue voicing a beloved Final Fantasy 14 character, even after finding international fame.
It has been some time since Kingdom Hearts 4 was in the news, but what some thought could be the first official look at the game in some time has emerged alongside the launch of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. An image shared on the game's official accounts to celebrate the wide release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth ignited speculation about Sora's new circumstances in Kingdom Hearts 4.
The development team behind Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth didn’t always know when the game was going to end, and it could have left off at a different point in the original’s story. After almost four years, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has finally been released, continuing the story of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Sephiroth, and the rest of the cast that fans know and love from the original Final Fantasy 7 and its many spin-offs. Just like Final Fantasy 7 Remake before it, FF7 Rebirth only retells a fraction of the 1997 PlayStation classic’s plot, picking up where its predecessor left off with Cloud and his friends escaping Midgar.
It’s finally here! Yes, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is finally here, and that means that gamers can FINALLY continue the story of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Barrett, Red XIII, and the new friends they’ll make along the way as they travel through the world of Gaia and attempt to stop Sephiroth! But before you go into your adventure, there is one last message you should hear. Specifically, the leads behind this incredible remake title came together for one last “thank you” and a statement about the game’s launch and what it means to them to have this game out amongst players finally.
