As Last Fantasy VII Rebirth’s February 29 launch date grows ever nearer of us are getting antsy about seeing beloved characters like Cait Sith (pronounced “Kate Sihth,” apparently) Vincent Valentine, and Cid occasion up with Cloud. Though artistic director Tetsuya Nomura has already confirmed that the aforementioned characters will be part of Cloud in fight equally to how Pink XIII did in Last Fantasy VII Remake, that doesn’t essentially imply they’ll be launched in the identical order as within the unique recreation. We don’t even know the place Rebirth will finish given the remake trilogy’s altered timeline. However one fan believes their wild idea pinpoints the place Rebirth will finish, and it includes FFVII’s cigarette-smoking scientist, Cid.
In 1997’s Last Fantasy VII, Cid joins the crew lengthy earlier than they make their approach to the Metropolis of Ancients, a spot we’ve seen the Rebirth solid discover in the newest 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 Last Fantasy VII Trivia Twitter account to the FFVIIRemake subreddit a few scrapped story beat of the traditional recreation that will have prevented Cid from becoming a member of Cloud and crew till a good later level within the recreation. In accordance with the FF7_Trivia tweet, Cid wouldn’t have joined the occasion till after Sephiroth summoned Meteor. Speak about reducing 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 occasion, so this time that could possibly be a superb purpose,” Nikokow59 wrote.
Nikokow59’s idea would additionally recommend that Cid’s well-known rocket experiment, which initially happened earlier than the occasions of FFVII, would as a substitute be part of Rebirth’s story and function the sport’s cliffhanger. That will make a variety of sense contemplating there’s nonetheless a whole third recreation to come back to finish the Last Fantasy VII remake trilogy. Do you assume Nikokow59’s idea holds water, or will Sq. Enix finish Rebirth on a unique word?
Both means, we’ll have to attend some time to seek out out, as Last Fantasy VII Rebirth doesn’t launch till February 29 on PlayStation 5.
