FFVII Rebirth Release Date Trailer Discussion

[@ColeFam]

Vincent doing the stupid backflip from the original makes me so happy. I'm glad the goofiness is here.

[@youarealldiseased6682]

And he never got his timestamp. 1 month later his family found the note in an abandoned warehouse, his corpse swinging from the rafters. RIP pink letter D The note read to whom it may concern: for approximately 30 days I had waited with bated breath on the edge of my seat for the timestamp but I never received it and no soul on Earth was kind enough to provide it for me so I have taken it upon myself to rid myself of the unkind world before my time was to expire naturally and I apologize to no one for this is my decision and my decision alone and alone I was for those 30 days waiting until one fateful day I realized the world was a cold unforgiving place and that's when I made my decision

[@ry2950]

11:52 On the subtitle for the doctor it says his name is "Doc Sheiran" which is actually a name for a character in the 'Trace of Two Pasts' book as a doctor that lives in Corel that performed one of Tifa's surgeries after her wounds from Sephiroth after the Nibelheim incident. So it was not the Mideel doctor that the Twitch chat kept trying to push that it was.

[@marnixpeeters2675]

Well damn I'm impressed

[@mindxfuneral]

I mean he looks a lot like the doctor from Mideel and the setting is near identical, so it was never a bad theory. But you’re correct, it’s been confirmed to not be in mideel.

[@2ndPlacePrize]

As far as the doctor If you turn subtitles on it confirms him as Dr. Sheiran, the first doctor that operated on Tifa in TOTP, which means they’re in Corel

[@LunatiqHigh]

All those curtains with the Doctor give me huge Mideel vibes, my guess is that they might not do the towns in the exact order we did in the original. Maybe we get to quest to Mideel before Cloud falls into the Lifestream as a way of exploring the world, trying to figure out where the Temple of the Ancients is.

[@carryingfire286]

they confirmed in one of those Q&A interviews they released the game will happen in a slightly different order than original. Which makes total sense because snowboarding happens almost right after Aerith dies and that has always felt super weird lol 🏂 💀

[@dariusjarvis1992]

First go to temple of the ancient and then go to bone village, sleeping forest, forgotten capital, northern crater with mideel island.

[@valerikonopljov8741]

I would guess that the weapon we see in the trailer here is a part of Bugenhagens exhbition in Canyon. Unless Tifa can speak underwater, and she clearly says "a weapon", while swimming, right? The observatory will probably resemble the shinra HQ movie theater.

[@SuaatanaTube]

I still love that there are people in the chat thinking Nomura is either writing or directing Rebirth when he does neither of those things. Nomura is always goated for killing Aerith.

Its funny. Nomura gets a lot of the blame for the changes when, in reality, it's Kitase and the others who during the original and remake, wanted to do crazy stuff.

[@guruthosamarthruin4459]

Zack's timeline will show Sephiroth win, to drive home how much the deaths of important characters mattered. Their sacrifice is why we won.

[@vicdaman]

My theory about what they mean about moving stuff around is the Forgotten city. I think it will be around the Northern Crater so that the game can end with the those two huge scenarios. I think part 3 starting and then needing to be so close to the reunion would be super weird. I think it is better to have part 3 open with Cloud gone and the party captured by Shinra. Better cliffhanger so that there is mystery regarding Cloud’s whereabouts, the status of the planet, and part 3 will shift gears from the main objective being “find Sephiroth” to “stop meteor and kaiju battles.” Instead of “stop Sephiroth for a few hours then switching gears.”

[@Xashe]

A comment on the summons. There were 16 summons in the original FF7. In the Remake trilogy we have 6 of the original in Remake (Choco/Moogle, Shiva, Ifrit, Leviathan, Bahamut + Ramuh). In Rebirth Leviathan + Ramuh have been confirmed as returning (materia received from playing FF7 Remake + Intermission), Alexander, Kujata, Odin and at least one more non-original summon. This means that there are still 7 more original summons left (which may be in Rebirth or in the third title). These are Titan, Phoenix, Neo Bahamut, Hades, Typhon, Bahamut Zero and Knights of Round.

[@Dracobyte]

I am surprised Garuda was not in the original. Square could add her on this game or in the next.

[@Xashe]

@@Dracobyte Choco/Mog was the wind element so make sense they wouldn't add a second wind element summon. Turns out Garuda was in the original FF7 but as an enemy you encounter in Wutai.

[@ksay6950]

The remaining summons from the original are Titan, Neo Bahamut, Phoenix, Typhon, Hades, Bahamut ZERO, and Knights of the Round; half of the summons appear much later in the game so I wonder if they will save them for the 3rd part.

[@1OneWingedAnge1]

That Segway part is cracking me up. Cloud has like vacation clothes on and the Buster Sword on as well. 😂

[@antonikoudehart7247]

They changed the order so that there a still 2 new cities left for part 3: Rocket Town and Wutai. And one new character: Cid. Keeping the OG order of things leaves you nothing news for part 3.

[@Jimverse_]

Interesting, they say it ends at city but show a weapon which is in a very strange order! I feel like the weapons all awakening at crater is an important part of the game, interested to see what they're doing there.

[@arvoredeuva5485]

The city where it ends: the Inn one where the party goes after northern crater

[@TH3DUDE0075]

@@arvoredeuva5485 the party (minus cloud who is missing/presumed dead after falling in the lifestream) goes to Junon and are held under arrest after the North Crater - they don’t go back to the inn at the forgotten city - remember Tifa gets in a bitch slapping match standing on the Junon gun? They then steal the Highwind and go off to find Cloud at Mideel

[@sonickchri]

For all we know (and I'd say that this is the most likely) that is just a preview of the Weapons. I'm not so sure that is Tifa swimming in the water seeing Emerald but probably in a vision/presentation (most likely in the Cosmo observatory). It is Red XIII narrating the exposition here, too. He seems to know a lot more and lore drop a lot earlier on than in the OG.

[@callmeshaggy5166]

Gi Nattak is weak to Holy at a time there is no Holy attack. We may get Alexander before Cosmo Canyon.

[@overdose0074]

Can't wait to see what they do with Mog House mini game

[@coxfire]

I know so many people were upset at Remake, it being only Midgard, yadda yadda...but i can't help thinking that SE for once is doing something right. The care put behind all the details to recreate in glorious HD the OG down to the most basic ennemies is commendable. The fates were not a perfect choice but the fact they did bring an element of "what's next" to the story so there is something new for even oldest veterans is not a bad thing to me. Cloud on a segway is instant classic, i am glad to see the game kept some goofiness (Dio's mustache ❤!). I can't wait to be there when Death streams it (if I can make it from Western Australia 😅!)

9:25 i don't think it will be open world but in certain areas it will be required to use a chocobo to reach the area, i might be wrong though

[@benhornby]

youre right

[@rt1517]

Yes, I don't think it will be an open world. It will be large areas connected by loading screens. But we should be able to travel freely between the areas (as they said we can go back multiple times to gold saucer during the game). And we can see arrows on the cliff that the Chocobo is climbing. I bet the chocobo won't be able to climb everywhere, just some specific cliffs. I would love to be wrong, but a true open world would be too expensive. And I don't feel it necessary for this game. If the areas are well done an immersive, it will do the job for me.

[@RSATT01]

They've confirmed it's areas but you can come back at any time.

[@kingbeef5076]

After seeing this trailer, nothing has changed my mind that this whole story is a Sephiroth redemption arc where Aeris and Zack survive.

[@ultima7865]

There ain’t no gettin off this train we’re on

[@callmeshaggy5166]

11:52 according to subtitles his name is Doc Sheiran 15:16 your face-cam was covering the true big reveal, that you actually get to play AS Sephiroth, complete with ATB and a limit break

[@c01onel]

The subtitles in the trailer reveal the doctor is Doc Sheiran from the novel Final Fantasy VII Remake Trace of Two Pasts

[@chainclaw07]

23:06 - I really dislike the Zack parts - because: what are they doing? is it like missions where you cut away from the party to a small info burst of what Zack is doing, example when you've beaten Jenova on the boat - they cut to Zack and then back when the party lands in costa del sol. and if so - how is it relevant to know what Zack is doing? if it's for a "reunion" at the end of the game wouldn't it be better to keep the actual events Zack goes through a secret until he shows up?

[@genjiharvester1876]

Fort Condor could definitely be placed differently. And don't forget that in the original, after Aerith dies the next thing that happens is you go snowboarding. Weeee! So...yeah...pacing in the original isn't exactly flawless. They could move a few things to come before the Forgotten Capital, and that could also account for Alexander--assuming he's not limited to a Chadley/VR battle--if the snowy mountainous areas come sooner. Wouldn't be surprised if certain things are pushed to part 3 while other things are brought ahead a bit. As far as Cid...it seems to me that you would still have to meet and be introduced to his character earlier on, with Cloud in the party, for his big moments later in the story to really land right and for various character development/party dynamic reasons. Like, even if they wanted to take out the Tiny Bronco and just rely on chocobos (which I don't think they will do as, honestly, it just doesn't seem like 'leaving things out' is in the DNA of this project), there would be a lot to shoe-horn in later on. From Nomura's comment, it does sound like he may just be a 'guest', although it is ambiguous. I always thought Vincent would not be playable until the final part, but I do have to admit that I'm a little surprised about Cid. Then again, 7 fully playable characters (2 of which are entirely new and 1 of which is quasi-new as a full-fledged team member) in a game where you now have to factor in various dual-tech moves, skill trees for each character, etc., could be plenty of complexity for this next part. And that's assuming Zack doesn't end up being playable/customizable in combat sections at some point. Too many cooks could spoil the broth just a bit in terms of curating and balancing the many scenarios and boss fights, and it'll probably be easier to come up with reasons why not every character is always present given the likely nature of the final part (using the Highwind as a headquarters/launch base for lots of side-missions and questing, etc.)

[@Badenhawk]

Lol, i was just about to look up the twitch VOD and saw this drop, only caught like 10 mins of it this morning live.

[@TheStrahl]

I've been wondering if anything/everything you gained would carry over from the previous game (materia, items, weapons, Levels, etc) or if they would explain it away somehow.. There's still plenty of summons for Game 3. Titan, Phoenix, Hades, Neo Bahamut, Bahamut Zero, KOTR. As far is things being in a different order, I feel like they're removing rocket town and moving it to the next game.

[@aellis0032]

They have said you start fresh at the beginning of each game. The excuse they gave was that each game will be balanced differently to account for the new combat mechanics and for new players. But they said you will get something extra for having played the first game. Leviathan for beating remake and ramuh for beating intergrade.

[@aellis0032]

Also they said every character will be in this game but not all of them will be playable. Some will be guests like red XIII was in remake.

Of which includes Shuriken who is more commonly known as Cissnei. Anyways Verdot being present during the Rufus parade make sense some they both have ties to eachother, and he is aware of Shinra’s manipulations. He also has ties to Avalanche as well.

Pretty sure the doctor IS the Mideel doctor. Not only does the room he's in look exactly the same, but his character model even looks pretty similar. Also, we see another part in the trailer where they're on a tropical island of some kind, which looks like the Mideel island, as that was the only one that had palm trees in the original. The devs DID say we were visiting the locations out of order this time.

But I think the part that actually made my brain melting was, like most of people, when you see the chocobos.. I just keep thinking about the people saying that it could be impossible for FFVIIRebirth to get all of this and would not be a big world/open-world but a boring one path game.

Your 3 options for Zack didn't really make sense. If Zack survived then it HAS TO BE in a different timeline.

Which only works if Zack actually died and gave Cloud the buster sword.

[@pEac3LOv30319]

You have to remember that in the end of Remake, the main party was in a singularity. Singularities exist outside of time and space, so they can affect what happens outside of it without changing anything on the inside.

Pretty big bias here because I’m a hardcore other timeline/multiverse believer but genuinely how are people explaining things like the scenes where barret, tifa and I think aerith were all seemingly dead or injured in the first trailer for this game something that makes no sense and we have no idea about if it’s not another timeline/universe, as well as Zack surviving where he originally dies and sephiroth literally saying “reunion is where worlds collide” or whatever. Like seriously if you have an explanation I wanna hear it cuz I’m trying to understand. Now I won’t lie that there’s some pretty big evidence that they’re trying to point us away and make us think that a certain characters death won’t happen, but won’t it be an even bigger surprise if it’s someone else? I can see cloud or tifa dying. They’re setting up Zack so much that he could easily step into the role of cloud, they could even hype it up as being just like the original cuz clouds right there and then boom right through cloud instead. Or tifa would just be a complete shock that would still have a pretty big impact. They already faked it with Barrett and frankly nobody else matters that much for it to have an impact. This could absolutely be me coping but I hope that the character who dies in the original doesn’t die here or they at least wait for Zack to show up too if he is so we can see his reaction to it.

One explanation is that our party is shielded by the changes to the world in the singularity. The idea is that the lifestream is made of memories, which inform reality. This is a massive theme concerning Cloud himself and Jenova. Sephiroth is somehow altering the memory of the planet and when the whispers are gone unable to make corrections, there is a rewriting of reality that makes sense with the memory of the lifestream. Since we were in the singularity, we remember the old world. So cloud for example thinks zack died. Yes this would also mean there are two clouds now.

Well you have to remember that even if something doesn't make sense, it doesn't mean it isn't the answer. Square Enix isn't perfect and there are plenty of plot holes in some of the other games, so if somebody really believes a certain theory but there's one or two scenes that don't make sense yet, that usually isn't enough to completely dissuade them, and those things might even be explained later.

[@markdarc0448]

@@4-8Productions fair enough but I don’t see Zack or the whispers showing up and being a major plot point in the previous game and Zack being a major plot point in this, as a plot hole. Some things might not make sense but it’s not like they’re not doing this for no reason

[@markdarc0448]

@@off-meta-michael this just sounds like another way to say what I’m saying. A slight alteration in the fact that it’s technically one world rewritten by the lifestream but storytelling wise it’s two worlds whether that be two universes, two timelines or two different times in the same world rewritten by the lifestream it’s all the same idea really

[@off-meta-michael]

@@markdarc0448i see what you're saying, but to me it's a big difference if there are two timelines running in tandem as opposed to one that is altered. It's the difference between Back to the Future and a Marvel movie.

[@devinknox7558]

They've already shown Zack at the church without C loud so there is no way this is a figment of Cloud's imagination.

[@KaimIICOD]

Zack will be saving Aerith in Forgotten City

[@AR-id5hw]

how anyone could still think this is anything other than parallell worlds/multiverse is beyond me

[@konnen7354]

In a perfect world, Barret and Red have a combo attack where they both yell "AVALANCHE TIME". Unfortunately, *this is not a perfect world*

[@HakumaruSan]

Ghost Ship boss fight in Rebirth let's go. The water tunnel in Junon.

[@davidmiller4270]

Will any of the games have knights of the round?

[@LongshoreVRGuy]

14:08 those images of sephiroth and cloud look different... I wonder what's going on there.

[@nathanstruble2177]

Ooooo okay so it looks like the doctor scene and Sephiroth on this ship are in the same place!

[@youngsterjoey7572]

that’s 100% the mideel doctor. same design of the Dr. and room. only difference is aerith wasn’t around mideel in the original

[@JoelB_Reckons]

I'm hoping for some DARK SOULS style maze level design for Temple of the Ancients

[@frankynipplelights1450]

25:30 I thought maybe Angeal at first cos of the goatee. But hair colour more like Genesis.... oh well. Let's see!

[@youarealldiseased6682]

I figured it would be forgotten city too. Doing some multiverse thing doesn't appeal to me, done to death, has become a trope in every TV show at this point. To me multiverse is a cop out and a free license to change anything and just say "multiverse bro that explains it". Ff7 rick and morty Edition. Actions have consequences. But the rest looks so good I dont think there will be any major issues
