Decode the Mystery Behind Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Tweets

Developers' Japanese tweets may have hinted at some of the themes that will be explored in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Though details have been scarce, some of these hints have been more mysterious than others.

The original Final Fantasy 7 Remake was a critically acclaimed game that brought a beloved installment in the series to modern hardware with updated graphics and innovative gameplay. While the remake only covered the first segment of the game, it was part of a planned series that would remake each portion of the original three-disc release from the ground up. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the highly anticipated second installment in this trilogy, will pick up where the remake left off. Despite the lack of a specific release date, Square Enix is actively promoting the game, even as Final Fantasy 16 is set to be released soon.

According to Japanese Twitch streamer and CEO of Aitai Japan, Audrey Lamsam, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's plot themes have been hinted at in a series of tweets containing translated developer comments from Square Enix. Among the revelations are hints of timeline alterations in the main narrative as well as the fate of Destiny after the previous game. The new installment will apparently focus on Zack's character arc and his famous quote, "The price of freedom is steep." Despite the lack of news expected until the first half of 2023, these cryptic hints have been enough to stimulate discussions among fans. The company has been gradually releasing new messages every day, teasing details about the adjusted release window, story context, and inviting fans to stay tuned for more information. While subtle in nature and requiring translation from Japanese, these revelations have successfully sparked speculation and discussion, generating the hype necessary for successful video game promotion. This is a promising sign for Square Enix, a company that has experienced mixed results in the past when it comes to promoting its games.

The upcoming game Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is set to be a captivating experience, blending the nostalgia of the original with modern elements. As a sequel to the highly-praised game that brought numerous changes to its world, the possibilities for the future are endless. It will be intriguing to see what other surprises Square Enix has in store for fans as they continue to develop the game. The release date is anticipated to be towards the end of 2023, exclusively for PlayStation 5.
