As Closing Fantasy VII Rebirth’s February 29 launch date grows ever nearer people are getting antsy about seeing beloved characters like Cait Sith (pronounced “Kate Sihth,” apparently) Vincent Valentine, and Cid get together up with Cloud. Though artistic director Tetsuya Nomura has already confirmed that the aforementioned characters will be a part of Cloud in fight equally to how Pink XIII did in Closing Fantasy VII Remake, that doesn’t essentially imply they’ll be launched in the identical order as within the unique sport. We don’t even know the place Rebirth will finish given the remake trilogy’s altered timeline. However one fan believes their wild concept pinpoints the place Rebirth will finish, and it includes FFVII’s cigarette-smoking scientist, Cid.
In 1997’s Closing Fantasy VII, Cid joins the crew lengthy earlier than they make their option to the Metropolis of Ancients, a spot we’ve seen the Rebirth solid discover in the most recent trailer. However for no matter purpose the Rebirth trailers nonetheless haven’t proven off Cid, regardless of revealing different, arguably larger, characters just like the vampire-coded Vincent Valentine. And this Reddit person believes they know why.
Yesterday, nikokow59 shared a screenshot from the Closing Fantasy VII Trivia Twitter account to the FFVIIRemake subreddit a few scrapped story beat of the basic sport that might have prevented Cid from becoming a member of Cloud and crew till a fair later level within the sport. Based on the FF7_Trivia tweet, Cid wouldn’t have joined the get together till after Sephiroth summoned Meteor. Discuss slicing issues near the buzzer beater. One other tidbit of this scrapped idea concerned Shinra sending Cid out on a suicide mission to offset the celestial physique with a rocket of his personal making, as if he was in some online game model of the 1998 Bruce Willis movie, Armageddon.
“Within the OG [Cid] didn’t really want to observe the get together, so this time that may very well be a great purpose,” Nikokow59 wrote.
Nikokow59’s concept would additionally counsel that Cid’s well-known rocket experiment, which initially occurred earlier than the occasions of FFVII, would as a substitute be part of Rebirth’s story and function the sport’s cliffhanger. That might make quite a lot of sense contemplating there’s nonetheless a whole third sport to come back to finish the Closing Fantasy VII remake trilogy. Do you assume Nikokow59’s concept holds water, or will Sq. Enix finish Rebirth on a distinct word?
Both manner, we’ll have to attend some time to seek out out, as Closing Fantasy VII Rebirth doesn’t launch till February 29 on PlayStation 5.
