Tetsuya Nomura Says Whoever Dies In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Isn't Coming Back
20.12.2023 - 19:07 / thegamer.com / Tetsuya Nomura
Veteran Final Fantasy developer Tetsuya Nomura has stated in a recent interview that whoever dies at the end of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth won't be returning, as that's what happened in the original.
As excited as we all are for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth to launch in a few months, there's also a lingering feeling of dread and sadness in the air. Sure, we're getting to explore the world of Final Fantasy 7 like never before and play as Cait Sith, Red XIII, and even Sephiroth, but we also know that someone's going to die at the end of the adventure.
This has been presumed to be the case since Final Fantasy 7 Remake was said to be the first part in a trilogy, but creative director Tetsuya Nomura put all speculation to rest a few months ago and confirmed that Rebirth ends after "the greatest fate" takes place at the Forgotten Capital.
Although that might seem like a pretty clear sign that someone was going to once again kick the bucket, it wasn't a concrete statement that someone was going to die. Well, it seems Square Enix isn't being coy about it anymore, as Nomura recently made his feelings on the subject clear in an interview with Game Informer, where he basically confirmed a death is coming and that it's not going to be reversed.
It's worth noting that it was previously confirmed that the Whispers aren't going to be able to control fate and reverse time like they could in Remake, so whatever happens in Rebirth is staying that way.
As shared by Twitter user Genki_JPN, Nomura said, "I believe that loss is something that happens unexpectedly and it's not something that's dramatic or drawn out, but is something in which a person you have just conversed with is suddenly gone and never to come back. I believe that the person who dies should not return in this title, and that is what we did with the original".
This is a pretty interesting thing for Nomura to say that all but confirms that some kind of loss is going to affect the gang at the end of the game as it did at the Forgotten Capital in the original release. Nomura also seems to suggest that whoever dies here isn't going to be brought back in the third part, as that's what was done with Aerith all those years ago.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s World Map Will Allow Players to “Make Different Adventures and Go on Their Own Journeys”
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is looking like its going to be a much more expansive game than its predecessor. Its main story alone is said to be around 40 hours long, while Square Enix says that with side content included, that can go up to over 100 hours. A lot of that is obviously going to be thanks to its vast, seamless open world setting, and speaking recently with Game Informer, the action RPG’s developers spoke a bit more about what that will bring to the table.

FF7: Rebirth Continues A Final Fantasy Sequel Tradition (But Will It Work?)
is taking cues from previous sequels. But even to begin with, sequels are few and far between. Since each series entry distinguishes itself so well from what comes before and after, very few of them have such direct sequels as has. While it's not totally unheard of, this is the first game to get a direct sequel in over a decade, and probably the first ever to be planned from the beginning as a trilogy.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth creative director didn’t want "reflex-type" action without the strategic elements he considers "core" to the JRPG series
For the Square Enix developers behind Final Fantasy 7 Remake and its sequel Rebirth, moving the series to a more action-oriented take with its combat was a key focus, but still retaining the franchise's tactical decision-making was especially vital. They succeeded in that careful balancing act with Remake, but with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, that core concept expands even further. In an interview published in Game Informer magazine, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth creative director Tetsuya Nomura and battle director Teruki Endo spoke about the unique balance they have to strike when developing the combat engine and how the strategy element is a core part of the franchise's history. "I do have this idea of how Final Fantasy battles should be and should feel," said the game director in the Game Informer interview.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Director Is Extremely Confident In Upcoming Title
Let’s be honest here for a moment. 2023 had many ups and downs in gaming, even if Geoff Keighley doesn’t want to admit it! One of the biggest “downers” of 2023 was a host of games coming out before they ever should’ve been released. Not only does that look bad on the industry, but on the people who worked on the games that should’ve known it would’ve been bad if released then. Yes, some of them might have been fighting back, but other times, it was clear that they were fine with those early releases. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s director won’t be among that cast of “characters” when the game releases next year.
