Lingering Questions We Have After The End Of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

Fans of this series first got a whiff of Final Fantasy 7 getting a remake in 2005 when a PS3 trailer showcase was released as a tech demo. That’s all it was though, a tech demo, and yet fans demanded it to be real. Finally, after many years of waiting, the teaser trailer for Final Fantasy 7 Remake was unleashed in 2015 followed by a launch long after in 2020.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: Beginner Tips

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth can be confusing for new players. In this guide, they will find useful tips that will help them in their adventure.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth took four years to release after that. Will it take another four years to make the finale of this trilogy? Maybe the team can punch out a sequel faster since they have a lot of open-world assets now. Whatever the case may be, fans are going to debate the following topics for years to come.WARNING! Spoilers ahead.

6 Will Zack Or Aerith Return?

Will Fate Win, Or Can Players Defy It?

Aerith and Zack in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

Based on the ending of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, it seemed like Aerith may live on to fight past the point where she was supposed to die. The core theme of that game is to defy fate. That theme is illustrated more clearly with the final stinger depicting Zack surviving after getting rushed by Shinra soldiers on the mountaintop.

Well, even though it is slightly different, Aerith still dies in The Forgotten City. Now Cloud can see her as a vision but it’s unclear if she is actually Aerith or if Cloud is losing his mind. Zack stays dead as he was kind of like in a dream the whole time. Will these two ever get properly resurrected or will they be out of the story proper?

5 How Will The Ending Differ?

Will It Go Beyond The Northern Crater?

In the original game, the gang finally heads back to the Northern Crater to face Sephiroth one last time. After his defeat, the team rushes out via airship and the Lifestream helps save the planet by destroying the meteor. Besides the flash forward with Red 13 five hundred years into the future, that’s where things end.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: 6 Common Mistakes To Avoid

Players will ultimately have an easier time in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth by avoiding these common mistakes.

Is that how the final part of this trilogy will end too or will it go a step beyond? For example, will there be a time skip into the Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children story? Will anyone else die or get resurrected like Aerith or Zack?

4 Is Glenn Lodbrok Alive?

The Lies Of Sephiroth Continue

Even mega fans of the extended Final Fantasy 7 universe may have been confused about the bearded man who showed up in Rufus’ office in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. He’s given a name, Glenn Lodbrok, but even that may not ring a bell with players. That’s because Glenn is one of the main characters in the prequel storyline within Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis which is a mobile spinoff.

In that game’s conclusion, Glenn is shown dead but he appears fine in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth much to Rufus’ surprise. By the end, Glenn reveals himself to be Sephiroth. Was he Sephiroth the whole time or do Glenn and Sephiroth share this ability to use robed figures as stand-ins? It would be interesting if players had to face Glenn as a boss in the final remake game especially if Yuffie gets involved as he’s kind of a hero to the Wutai people.

3 Will Cid And Vincent Be Playable?

Will There Be Anyone Else?

The implementation of Cid and Vincent in this game is a bit odd. With Cid, it sort of makes sense to have him pilot the crew around. Vincent tagging along to fight Sephiroth also makes sense but what doesn’t make sense is that Vincent just hangs out in the background.

In the Temple of the Ancients, he could be doing things along with when he is in The Forgotten Capitol. He is shown to be a fighter whereas Cid not once talks about lancing fools. Will they be support characters, side characters, or playable characters in the final game? Also, will players be able to control anyone else besides the core crew for brief periods like how Zack and Sephiroth were playable in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?

2 How Will Wutai And Avalanche Factor Into The Narrative?

The Time For War Is Nigh

The conflict between Shinra and Wutai is barely addressed in the original game. The subsequent sequels and prequels like Before Crisis: Final Fantasy 7 and Crisis Core: Core Final Fantasy 7 flesh out this war a bit more. With this remake trilogy, it seems more apparent that there is going to be a battle scene between Wutai and Shinra again.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: Every Playable Character, Ranked

Here's every playable character in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth ranked from worst to best, along with some other interesting info about each one.

That seems to be Rufus’ goal although it is unclear why he wants to start another conflict. This would give players something new to experience in the final part and it could happen in the Wutai region which was just a side quest in the original version. Players could also stop the conflict before it begins, but by and large, Wutai will probably appear in some form.

1 Will More Weapons Emerge?

From Diamond To Ultimate

The appearance of Weapons in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was a big change. In the original, Weapons weren’t unleashed until Sephiroth was resurrected in the Northern Crater. Players got to face off against Diamond, Ultimate, Ruby, and Emerald.

Besides Diamond, the other three were optional. Even though Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth introduces Weapons, they aren’t bad. They even help Tifa when Sephiroth is trying to kill her in the Lifestream. Will they remain good in the final part of this trilogy or will Weapons become bosses?
