Final Fantasy VII Remake gave followers of the unique sport fairly a shock as Cloud and the celebration exited Midgar. Zack, the protagonist of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and a key determine in Cloud, Aerith, and Sephiroth’s previous, seems to be alive, and helped an injured Cloud attain Midgar. This stands in stark distinction to his destiny within the unique continuity, the place he was killed and his Buster Sword was handed over to Cloud.
Zack’s modified destiny is emblematic of how the Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth groups approached the supply materials. “If we trace the original and stay exactly loyal to it as is, I think that is lacking in the gaming experience itself,” director Naoki Hamaguchi says. “With elements like the Whispers or Zack – these new elements introduced in Remake or Rebirth – this really gives players the feeling that based on these, perhaps the ending is going to be different from what we know from the original and have that sort of wonder and anticipation building. The mystery building is something we truly wanted players to feel in Rebirth.”
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion key artwork
In Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Zack seems to have a extra outlined position. “Through him, players will be able to experience and understand more of the Final Fantasy VII worldview and it will deepen their understanding of the Final Fantasy VII world,” Hamaguchi says. “We have used the character Zack to depict the combined view of [story and scenario writer Kazushige Nojima, creative director Tetsuya Nomura, and producer Yoshinori Kitase] – the original creators – intents of how this world of Final Fantasy VII came to be and its policies and rules governing this world. This is going to be depicted through the character of Zack. As much as the Whispers within the story, Zack is an equally, immensely important, crucial, key character to this story that I believe fans will enjoy within Rebirth.”
While Hamaguchi and the staff did not go into too many particulars, it definitely whets my urge for food and makes me wish to return to Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, even when that is not half of the present continuity. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth arrives on PlayStation 5 on February 29. For extra Final Fantasy VII Rebirth protection, head to our unique hub by way of the banner under!
