Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is the latest release in the Final Fantasy VII remade trilogy. The popular Square Enix RPG was released for PlayStation One in 1997. It is one of the most acclaimed games of all time.
The first game in the trilogy, FF7 Remake, ended after a climactic battle between Cloud and Sephiroth as the Sector 7 plate of Midgar came crashing down. Shockingly, the remake gave us more questions than answers, including hints at an altered timeline.
Rebirth will introduce several key characters to the remake and feature important story beats. While fans anxiously await what changes await them, there are some burning questions fans want answered.
