Secrets Revealed: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Trailer Unveils the Highwind

Fans of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth were quick to spot what appears to be Cid's famous airship, the Highwind, in the latest trailer released during Summer Game Fest. Social media was flooded with excited posts and comments from fans who believe that the airship may be making a comeback in the highly anticipated PS5 release. For those unfamiliar with the game, the Highwind was a flying fortress that served as the main method of transportation for the game's characters, allowing them to access various parts of the world, including the Northern Crater, which was the game's final challenge. While the Highwind did not appear in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake, fans are hoping to see its return in the upcoming game.

A Final Fantasy fan by the username of -Megaflare on Reddit claimed to have spotted the Highwind airship in the latest trailer for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth shown during Summer Game Fest. The post on the r/FFVIIRemake subreddit mentioned that the Highwind was docked atop the harbor in Junon, just as it was in the original release, appearing at approximately the 2:20 mark of the trailer. Although the airship may be challenging to discern, -Megaflare pointed out that it was positioned on the top left of the video, near the heads-up display. Upon closer inspection, the Highwind's top propellers and front hull could be seen as the evening sunset loomed over Junon.

Within less than a day, -Megaflare's post on r/FFVIIRemake garnered over 300 upvotes. Commenters expressed their hope that the Highwind and other iconic scenes from the original game will make an appearance in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. As the game will be released on two Blu-ray discs, there is ample potential for a wide range of events to be covered in the remake.

It remains to be seen what surprises and changes await Final Fantasy fans with the release of the next chapter in the Final Fantasy 7 saga. While many fans are looking forward to the release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth in early 2024 for PS5, they are also keeping their expectations in check, given the cryptic messages from Square Enix in the lead-up to Summer Game Fest. Only time will tell what new adventures and challenges await players in this highly anticipated game.
