Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi recently weighed in on the possibility of expansions for the Queen’s Blood card game in the wake of its popularity. Just like Final Fantasy 7 Remake before it, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth expands on the story of the 1997 original and includes many new side quests and bonus activities. Chief among them is Queen’s Blood, a card game that can be played in the lands beyond Midgar’s borders.
Tetsuya Nomura Has Special Message For Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Livestreamers/Content Creators

Look, when something anticipated is about to drop or come out? The last thing anyone wants is to get spoiled because they accidentally came across something online or heard someone talking about it. Another thing to consider is that many people get advanced copies of things like video games and thus are allowed to do streaming and various videos highlighting the product they got access to. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a week away from release, and the reviews for the title paint it as something incredibly special. But for Tetsuya Nomura, he wants to ensure that those with the title right now don’t spoil too much for those who don’t.
On Twitter, the creative director for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth talked about how Square Enix and himself were fine with lifting most of the “restrictions” that tend to be imparted on various streamers and content creators while the game is still not fully out. In his own words, he was fine with this because he wanted to see people “comment” on their “experiences” within the title. However, he also asks for some restraint from these same people so that potential viewers don’t have key moments spoiled in big or small forms.
For example, he asks that key moments not be used as screenshots for the streams or videos they make. So, oh, the death of a character? And even though they lifted many of the restrictions for live streaming and video creation, there are still some rules that he reminds people to follow, even suggesting they go to the official rules page on the Square Enix site to see it all for themselves.

On the surface, this might seem like a “basic” request, but it’s a bit more complicated than that. This isn’t like, say, a certain Atlus remake where the story is essentially the same outside of the graphics, and thus, people can “just look up how it ends.” This entry in the remake saga is intentionally going away from what the PS1 original did back in the day. Yes, there will be plenty of “familiar beats,” but Tetsuya Nomura and his team have also been working hard to “steer things away” in unexpected directions.
That means that there could be key moments in the game that no one sees coming, and thus, a “simple stream” could lead to big spoilers if there’s no warning attached.
In the end, this is all about being kind to your fellow gamers and honoring the anticipation and hype they have for the title.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Director Confirms Key Town For Third Entry
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.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Could Have Had A Different Ending
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.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Has “Printing Defect” In Japan
Here’s a story that honestly has a bit of “history” attached to it in a way you might not recall. You see, in the earliest days of gaming, the phrase “going gold” meant that you had finished the game and put everything on a literal gold-style disc so you could hand it off to the people making copies of your game and thus get them into the hands of the public. The problem is that if you gave the people the wrong disc? You were screwed. What does that have to do with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth? Well, in Japan, a certain ‘mistake’ has come to life with how the discs were printed.
