As Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s February 29 launch date grows ever nearer of us are getting antsy about seeing beloved characters like Cait Sith (pronounced “Kate Sihth,” apparently) Vincent Valentine, and Cid celebration up with Cloud. Although inventive director Tetsuya Nomura has already confirmed that the aforementioned characters will be a part of Cloud in fight equally to how Red XIII did in Final Fantasy VII Remake, that doesn’t essentially imply they’ll be launched in the identical order as within the authentic recreation. We don’t even know the place Rebirth will finish given the remake trilogy’s altered timeline. But one fan believes their wild concept pinpoints the place Rebirth will finish, and it entails FFVII’s cigarette-smoking scientist, Cid.
In 1997’s Final Fantasy VII, Cid joins the crew lengthy earlier than they make their strategy to the City of Ancients, a spot we’ve seen the Rebirth forged discover in the most recent trailer. But for no matter purpose the Rebirth trailers nonetheless haven’t proven off Cid, regardless of revealing different, arguably larger, characters just like the vampire-coded Vincent Valentine. And this Reddit person believes they know why.
Yesterday, nikokow59 shared a screenshot from the Final Fantasy VII Trivia Twitter account to the FFVIIRemake subreddit a few scrapped story beat of the basic recreation that will have prevented Cid from becoming a member of Cloud and crew till an excellent later level within the recreation. According to the FF7_Trivia tweet, Cid wouldn’t have joined the celebration till after Sephiroth summoned Meteor. Talk about reducing issues near the buzzer beater. Another tidbit of this scrapped idea concerned Shinra sending Cid out on a suicide mission to offset the celestial physique with a rocket of his personal making, as if he was in some online game model of the 1998 Bruce Willis movie, Armageddon.
“In the OG [Cid] didn’t really need to follow the party, so this time that could be a good reason,” Nikokow59 wrote.
Nikokow59’s concept would additionally counsel that Cid’s well-known rocket experiment, which initially befell earlier than the occasions of FFVII, would as a substitute be part of Rebirth’s story and function the sport’s cliffhanger. That would make a variety of sense contemplating there’s nonetheless a whole third recreation to return to finish the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy. Do you suppose Nikokow59’s concept holds water, or will Square Enix finish Rebirth on a special word?
Either means, we’ll have to attend some time to search out out, as Final Fantasy VII Rebirth doesn’t launch till February 29 on PlayStation 5.
