Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will feature an ambiguous ending that will keep players wondering about the third and final part of the trilogy, according to the game's producer.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Is Only Seven Weeks Away!

There are many things that video gamers are good at and some things they’re forced to be good at. One of those things is knowing when a game comes out and how long they’ll have to wait to play it. After all, when it comes to being a gamer, the two “frames of time” you often have to count the most are the playtime of the game you’re in and how many days until you get to play the next one. In the case of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, gamers are eagerly awaiting the second entry in Square Enix’s “remake saga,” and the company is keeping fans aware of how much longer it is until launch.
As you can see in the tweet below, the official Twitter handle for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth notes that it’s officially seven weeks away from launch. To gamers, that will probably feel like an eternity, especially as more teases and glimpses into the game come to light. But there’s something else that we want to note about this tweet. Can you guess what it is?

Yep. We’re talking about the characters that are in the image. This is a spin on the main image for the game that features Sephiroth, Cloud Strife, and Zack Fair, all of whom are deeply connected to the game’s lore. Yet, here, we have Sephiroth behind Tifa and Aerith. So what’s going on here?
Well, Square Enix, and especially Tetsuya Nomura, is never above using symbolism to highlight what’s coming or what could come. In the game’s first trailer, Sephiroth told Cloud that he killed Tifa during the events of the game’s prequel when she was traveling with Zack Fair. And yet, she’s here in the “present,” so what does that make her? Fans aren’t sure where this is heading, but given the game has already “broken canon” and aims to “rewrite fate” in some ways, one has to wonder what Tifa’s role will be in future events.
As for Aerith, her place in the image is very obvious. After all, the sequel will end the story in a key place where, in the original title, at least, Aerith is killed by Sephiroth. We’ve even seen part of the scene in question with black feathers falling around Aerith.
So, could it be that Sephiroth will kill the two women closest to Cloud in the second remake? Or will certain parties change fate to ensure that doesn’t happen? We’ll find out on February 29th.

New Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Info Highlights Yuffie and Cait Sith
Many people are looking forward to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and that’s not a shock at all. When Square Enix released the first entry of the “remake saga” back in 2020, gamers were stunned by how well the publisher had remade the original title despite focusing only on the Midgar storyline for the “first part.” The graphics were stunning, the voice acting was on point, and the updated combat system made it feel like an RPG while also being “upgraded” to fit modern times. However, a few flaws held it back, mainly in the party system.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Won’t Feature “Classic” Minigame
When Square Enix announced the “remake saga” for their all-time classic RPG and then noted that the game would be “cut into sections” to ensure quality throughout, gamers were a bit concerned. The game was in “full form” back on the PS1 and obtained legendary status, so why wouldn’t it be “In full” here? Well, their gambit paid off, and the first title featuring the “Midgar Saga” was a hit, not just because of the graphical upgrade but also because of the new elements fleshed out that part of the story. So, with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, gamers are expecting more of the same.

Amazon Reveals Special Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Controller Skin Via Pre-Order Bonus!
For the record, we didn’t plan two stories about items you can get for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to come in back-to-back days. Life decided to have a little fun with us, and we don’t mind. Yesterday, we discussed how Square Enix Reward Program members could get a special glitter globe featuring the Gold Saucer from the upcoming RPG. It was cute and adorable, and we’re sure some of you have already subscribed to the program so you can get it or are cashing in points to ensure you get it. But, if you’re looking for something a bit more “substantial,” then perhaps Amazon is where you go to get the game.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Following the events of 2020's Final Fantasy VII Remake, Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Barret, and Red XIII have escaped the confines of Midgar and gotten rid of the Whispers, meaning the possibilities as they step out into the vast world depicted in the middle portion of the original Final Fantasy VII are endless. In contrast to the corridor-heavy structure of Remake, the openness of Rebirth is immediately refreshing, but as I found out during both my hands-on and hands-off demos, the improvements don't even come close to stopping there.
