Closing Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth modified the unique FF7 historical past. A few of them are minor modifications, similar to merely restructuring the order of some occasions. Nonetheless, some are a lot bigger and recommend potential modifications on the finish of the sport.
Maybe the largest change comes within the type of The plot of the choice universe of the sportThe place gamers comply with Zack Truthful apparently alive and different deceased characters from the principle timeline, similar to biggs. Through the local weather struggle towards Sephiroth in RebirthZack appears to struggle alongside Cloud and the group.

Like Closing Fantasy 7 Half 3 may change the story (and will it?)
FF7 should problem destiny by altering its story
It could be a bit of unusual if the choice universe proven in Closing Fantasy 7 Renaissance didn't play any position within the final Closing Fantasy 7 Remake recreation.

After studying about Closing Fantasy 7: Creation KidsI used to be a bit of disenchanted to listen to that my studying of the sport was incorrect or had been reconfigured to maintain the human forged of the sport alive.
With that mentioned, I began having the thought of the brand new Closing Fantasy 7 having a barely extra optimistic finish. “Nature wins on the finish” could be a extra transferring, however presumably a bit of fatalistic message, given the present situations surrounding the local weather disaster.

Nonetheless, I concern that such an optimistic finish can steal a number of the relevance of the sport's environmental themes. I'd like to see a narrative about performing and altering destiny, however it will in all probability be higher if there have been nonetheless some penalties for issues just like the irreparable harm from Shinra to the planet.
