(10 biggest story changes in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth)

 Final Fantasy 7 rebirth there was little doubt in anyone’s mind that the game would make some pretty significant changes to the original

 Final Fantasy 7 is based on how the Remake trilogy’s first game did things and sure enough rebirth does make a lot of very notable changes to the larger story beats of the original game

and large preserved but there are several additions changes expansions and what have you on top of that with the result being something that feels like it’s treading its path from

the story changes to the lore being further fleshed out in some sections from how some characters are introduced to Major new events

 that happen to others there are plenty of instances throughout Final Fantasy 7 rebirth where it diverges from the prescribed path 

we’re going to speak about some of the biggest ones there are Major for Final Fantasy 7 rebirth 

No.1(The Multiverse)

let’s start with the biggest and most obvious changes to the story

 which is the confirmation that the story does indeed now Encompass multiple different timelines

Zach’s surprise survival at the end of the remake very strongly hinted at that but Rebirth has now outright confirmed it with Seero revealing to Cloud

 the others that when they defeated the Whispers at the end of the first game they inadvertently CAU caused the creation of many different worlds

where things aren’t necessarily panning out in a way that you might be familiar 

No.2 (Reunion)

the existence of the Final Fantasy 7 Multiverse brings plenty of other major changes with it like Seo’s overarching plans

 which are now so much more elaborate than they were even in the original game which is certainly saying something about the destruction of the plan 

the meteor spell and Revival of Groove are still high priorities for SEO but even higher on that list is bringing all the alternate realities 

over all of them rather than just a single version of the planet lending an entirely new meaning to reunion

No.3 (Zack)

the Final Fantasy 7 Multiverse also brings with it a timeline in which Zach managed to survive

as you’d imagine things are wildly different in this world from what fans of Final Fantasy 7 might be used to cloud is poisoned and unconscious Aerith is in a coma bigs is alive Barrett Tifa and Red 13 are dead and Zach,

of course, he is at the center of it all, and by the time the game comes

to a close having discovered that there are other worlds Beyond

If he decides that he’s going to try and find a way back to Cloud how exactly will that play out in part three well that remains to be seen 

No.4 (Aerith)

the big changes that many expected Final Fantasy 7 rebirth to make to A’s story haven’t been made she still dies at the Forgotten Capital at Sophos hands

 though the game does make some changes around that nonetheless 

the original game certainly implied that Aerith had a part to play in using the

white material even after her death in the rebirth that’s much more overt her spirit lingers  on 

she’s able to fully converse with Cloud even in this form even if no one else in the party can see her though 13 seems to be at least faintly aware of her presence

No.5 (The GI)

the Gi had a very tiny role to play in the original Final Fantasy 7 

one that in the grand scheme of things was almost insignificant in rebirth they take on a significantly expanded role after landing on the planet thousands of years ago 

An extraterrestrial tribe known as the Gi fought against the Cetra and during that conflict,

 they were the ones who created the black Materia by pouring all of their hate and Malice into a single concentrated orb with the Gi not being of this planet upon their death 

they were unable to return to the Live stream and their intention is now to use the black Materia so they can destroy the earth with a meteor which in turn will finally free them of their endless purgatory 

No.6 (Yuffie and CIDs intro)

 originally an optional character 

In Final Fantasy 7 in Rebirth yui is a full-fledged member of the main cast which comes as no surprise after episode intermission with her taking on a larger role the way she’s introduced is also different the party first meets June 

when she tries and intends to assassinate Rufus Shinra during the parade something that she certainly attempts to do but not quite successfully following that she continues to drop in and out of the story before finally joining the party in Cadil Soul

 similarly, Sid’s introduction has been changed as well in the original Final Fantasy 7 

the party travelled to Rocket Town after meeting Vincent Valentine in Nibble Heim and it was there that they met with the pilot and engineer 

Sid High Wind joined the ranks with the party after butting heads with Rufus Shinra over the canning of his coveted Space Program in rebirth

 meanwhile, Sid enters a little earlier this time as a four h higher pilot who flies the party from Gungaga to Nibelheim

No.7 (tifa and the lifestream)

 though it was an optional area in the Original Final Fantasy 7 in Rebirth Gonzaga is a much larger and more baked-in part of the main story 

which in turn brings several changes one of the biggest ones is what happens with Tifa Cloud under the effects of Sephos influence

  his cellular degradation attacks Tifa and throws her into a pole of Mo in the destroyed Gungaga reactor believing 

the real Tia to be long dead and her to be an impostor upon falling into the pool she is swallowed whole by a weapon after which she finds herself in the live stream

where not only does she witness several memories of her past but also sees different Whispers battling against each other 

with many even attacking the weapons at the end of it all the weapon breaches above the surface of the moo pool again letting Tia who is still alive leave 

No.8 (Glenn Lodbrook) 

 you’d be forgiven for having no idea who Glenn L Brock is seeing as he’s only ever appeared in the mobile game Final Fantasy 7

 Crisis and free-to-to-play mobile Battle Royale game given that it’s surprising how big

his role in Rebirth is he is now the  leader of the Wuai government but behind the scenes, 

he’s in cahoots with Rufus Shinra and together they’re trying to spark another war between Shinra and Wuai 

they succeed in doing that of course while right at the end of the game

 it’s also revealed that not only is L Brock one of Seph Ro’s minions but he also has powers that no one other than Seph O has like being able to possess

 the black robe Sethro clones scattered throughout the world we’re going to have

to wait until the third game to find out how exactly he’s able to do that 

No.9 (Roche)

Roche was one of Final Fantasy 7 remakes’ more prominent new additions and of course,

 he continues to have a role to play in rebirth as well by definition everything that happens to and around him is entirely new to the story 

there are a couple of boss fights against him and rebirth that didn’t exist in the original game 

while later on in the story he also voluntarily agrees to become a Seph clone by the end of the game he’s in a very different I.E much

worse shape than we’ve usually seen him in he’s not riding his bike around anymore we can tell you that much

No.10 (Cissnei)

Cissnei  fans of Crisis Corp will be very familiar with Cissnie as a character and now she’s been integrated into the main Final Fantasy 7

 the story as well this is another one of those changes to the story that we see in Gungaga with Syney having been assigned to the region

 where she’s gone on to become something of a caretaker for the locals

as the leader of the Gungaga Youth Coalition obviously

unlike the other stuff we’ve talked about in this feature 

Cissnie’s addition isn’t as intrinsically tied to the main story

as its most crucial beats but she still does end up being a pretty prominent

secondary character while you’re in the Gungaga region

   (10 big questions final fantasy 7 rebirth)

Final Fantasy 7 rebirth comes to an end even though it answers a lot of questions raised in the remake

 it raises just as many if not more for things yet to come in the remake’s trilogy conclusion

 as this new tale continues to expand and change more and more questions about where it’s headed 

how it will end become a much more prominent rebirth does an excellent job of tantalizingly

 teasing you with these questions some of the biggest mysteries that are

left lingering after the Final Fantasy 7 rebirth story 

Que no.1( Is Sephiroth from the future)

 this is something that fans have been asking since the Final Fantasy 7 remake

first came out and though we still don’t have a definitive answer

 it is certainly becoming increasingly obvious throughout the two games and especially in Rebirth in particular

 Sephiroth is shown to be very much aware of the events of the original Final Fantasy 7 

while in rebirth he also knows about the Multiverse existence

even having manipulated Cloud and Co into defeating the whispers in the remake

 so what does that tell us about Sephiroth and the nature of his very existence based on everything 

that we’ve seen of him in the remake trilogy so far it does seem like

this is perhaps a post-Advent Children version of the character 

who managed to find his way back to the beginning of the original game’s

events and started messing with time to try and change his fate after

he’s made it abundantly clear on no few occasions by now that he wants to defy Destiny 

so it stands to reason that he knows what Destiny it is exactly that he’s defying 

Que no.2 (Will Zack survive)

 seeing Zack fair at the end of the Final Fantasy 7 remake was a big shock and seeing him survive the Fateful Encounter 

that ends in his death was an even bigger one in rebirth it is revealed that by defeating the Whispers

 The Party inadvertently causes the creation of multiple different timelines including the one where we see

Zach is still alive and heading to Midgar with an MCO poison Cloud throughout the game

 he continues to have an important role to play even briefly overlapping with the main timeline to fight against-sephiroth  side by side with the cloud and in the aftermath 

it’s clear that his goal is to find a way to join his world with the main timeline but is Zach going to come out of this whole thing alive a big theme in the Final Fantasy 7

 remakes Trilogy so far is that one way or another no matter how hard you try Destiny cannot be defied characters have

one way or another ended up meeting their Fates the way that they were supposed to in Zach’s timeline big survived the fall of sector 7

 but eventually ended up dying anyway in the remake wedge survived longer than he did in the original FF7 but was still eventually pushed to his death

zacks attempt

 by The Whispers And of course, at the end of rebirth, Cloud tries his most damn to save Aerith

 for a brief moment, it even looks like he succeeded but she too ends up dying at Seo’s hand just as she would be always supposed to so are Zack’s attempts at finding 

way to avoid his death being futile in its final Act rebirth shows us two different offshoots of Zacks’s main timeline 

one where he tries to get a cure for the cloud from Shinra headquarters

and one where he attempts to stop Bigs from blowing up the reactor

  in both timelines, he’s gunned down by a squad of Shinra troops

exactly as he was at the end of Crisis

Core is the game’s way of telling us that no matter

what happens one way or another that’s Zach’s story will always end 

Que no.3 ( what will happen to the versions of Aerith and Cloud in Zack’s timeline )

 Zack is in his world literally for much of Final Fantasy 7 rebirth but he does have some familiar faces

 around him of course in addition to the likes of bigs Marlene Almyra Zack’s

the story also ropes in versions of Aerith and Cloud 

who belong to that timeline neither is in great shape,

to say the least with AIS being in a coma after the avalanche’s failed escape attempt at Midgar and Cloud 

being heavily MCO poisoned and z out of his mind so what exactly will become of these two in

particular are both of them going to die or is Zack going to indeed try to join both timelines 

the way that rebirth endings seem to imply that are there just going to be two clouds

will Zach’s version of Aerith end up dying because she died in the main timeline

 will conversely end up being how Aerith returns to the original timeline speaking of which

Que no.4 ( Can Aerith be brought back)

whether or not Aerith would still die in Final Fantasy 7 rebirth was one of our biggest questions 

heading into the game and though we do now know that she

died similarly to how she died in the original game 

there also seem to be hints that perhaps she’s not permanently gone for starters

we do see her spirit not only lingering on but even having entire conversations with Cloud promising him

 that she will stay behind in the Forgotten Capital to try and stop Meteor

sure you might dismiss that as more moo adult hallucinations drummed up by Cloud’s 

increasingly deteriorating mental State since no one else in the party

can see her but Red 13 does very faintly sense her presence

 So maybe Cloud isn’t going crazy in this particular case more on this in a bit

so does that mean there’s still a way to bring Aerith back at the very least even 

if she does remain dead it seems like she’ll have more of a role to play albeit in spirit form in the trilogy’s

third part than she did in that part of the original game story but could the party try and bring her back 

as well will Zack have a say in that will the Multiverse

its different timelines and the many different versions of

Aerith who is still alive ends up being the way out of death

for that character or will the lesson once again be that Destiny cannot be defied 

 even if Aerith does manage to have a larger presence following

her death than she did in the original game she is still going to remain conclusively dead

Que no.5 ( how did Sephiroth gain control of the Whispers)

The Whispers were Final Fantasy 7 remakes big main twist to a familiar story

and though they return in rebirth they do so in a different capacity originally described as mysterious

beings who want to ensure that everything happens in the manner

that was prescribed in rebirth Sephiroth has gained control over them

  the faction of them at any rate being outright summoned by sephiroth from time to time the black Whisperers

 seem to be answering him now multiple times

we also see them going up against new white versions of The Whispers

 the question or one of them at least is how exactly did Sephiroth manage to gain

control of the black Whispers in the first

 he very clearly did not align with what

their ultimate goal was he constantly prodded Cloud into defying Destiny and pulled the strings

 so that the party would defeat them are we to assume that after their defeat

The Whispers in their weakened State fell under Sephiroth’s influence and now do his bidding also what is going on with those white Whispers

Que no.6 (who controls the white whispers)

 Final Fantasy 7 rebirth we’re introduced to a white Whispers after Tifa falls into the live stream she Witnesses

the weapons come under attack from sephiroth  Whispers only for white lustrous variants of The Whispers to come streaming in and start battling against

 the black counterparts to protect them from that point forward the white Whisperers show up several more times

 at crucial points in the story each time showing up to fight against the regular black Whispers for starts 

where do they come from second who controls them are they in service only to the planet and the Liv stream or are they perhaps controlled by Aerith as the game strong

implies and multiple times throughout the party’s 

the multi-stage final boss fight against Sephiroth where we see the white Whisperers seemingly doing  bidding perhaps they’re Whispers from a different timeline 

Que no.7 ( why can only clouds see Aerith and the sky rifts)

Final Fantasy 7 rebirth comes to a close thanks to a double whammy of Sephiroth’s corrupting influence and Cloud’s degradation

 so when he is the only one in the entire party who can see a Spirit after her death 

and also see the Great Rift in the sky the game wants us to wonder whether he’s just continuing to lose his grip on reality

 thanks to Zack’s side of the story however we know without a doubt that the rift in the sky is very real while Red 13 is able to sort of sense

Aerith’s Presence at the end suggests that she isn’t just a hallucination either but why is it that Cloud is the only one

 who can see these things is it because of the connection to Sephiroth is it because now that he’s traveled

through the timelines, he’s now capable being able to see things that weren’t visible to him  before sort of how nobody in the remake could see

 The Whispers until they came into contact with Aerith or perhaps there’s some other answer to this question that we can’t even begin to guess at yet

Que no.8 ( what happened with the GI)

 just as in the original game in FF7 Rebirth upon entering Cosmo Canyon cloud

and Co accompany Red 13 and Bugenhagen into the place

 where the spirits of the ancient extraterrestrial tribe known as

the GI are locked away and just like the original game

this is where we learn about Red 13’s father and the sacrifice

that he made to protect the people of Cosmo Canyon

but as opposed to the original in Rebirth that’s just a fraction of what we find out thanks to the new

revelation that the black material was built by the GI

as part of their conflict, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth does an excellent job 

fleshing out this conflict which had next to no role to play

in the original game story and gives us both sides of

this perspective in Cosmo Canyon we know how they were portrayed while in the Forgotten City 

we hear from the Ancients about how the GI created the black material with the most destructive of intentions

 which side of the story is the more accurate version of the truth and on top of that exactly

 how is the deal that Cloud strikes

with the GI going to come back to bite him in the future because 

there’s no way that the GI is going to be happy when

they find out that Cloud never had any intention of giving them the black Materia

Que no.9 ( what role will the GI play in part 3 )

the GI tribe had a much larger part to play in Final Fantasy 7 rebirth story

than it did in the original game 

it’s looking like something of a guarantee that this will continue to be

the case in part three as well after all they’re the creators of the black Materia 

which means they’re inherently much more important to the lore in the remake Trilogy

cloud and Co also lied to Zack’s face when they told him that they would bring the black material

back to him in the tribe something they have no intention of doing given the fact that the GI wants to destroy 

the planet so what exactly is that going to lead to in the third game that the GI will return is looking like a sure bet 

it also seems safe to assume that they’re going to be  at the party to say the very least they’re going to continue

 their hunt for the black Materia so given that their goals are more or less aligned

with what Sephiroth wants to do are we headed to A Deadly Alliance between them 

Que no.10 ( will we fight the weapons )

 Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth introduces these massive creatures created by the planet 

itself to protect it sensing that such a danger is looming on the horizon at this point 

in the remake trilogy, some of them have awakened and at several points

in the story they have an important role to play

 that they return in the third game is obvious but will they end up

playing the same role they did in the original game in the original 

thanks to a magical barrier erected by Sephiroth they are unable to sense

his presence and instead go on a rampage targeting locations with the highest Mao concentrations 

which of course happen to be densely populated Urban hubs

like Midgar and Juan to stop them clouded companies end up having to take them on in battle

defeat them given how epic boss fights against them would be if properly realized in the remix Trilogy 

the developer might not want to change their role too much

but perhaps towards the end of the story instead of being destroyed 

they might work against Sephiroth just as an example if the GI does indeed

end up allying with Sephiroth maybe they could help even the odds for the good guys
