Fans expectFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthto deliver on four years' worth of excitement since the release of the first installment of theFinal Fantasy 7Remaketrilogy. That does not account for the 26-year legacyFinal Fantasy 7has, along with the series' legacy in general. From the climactic ending ofRemakeas well as theFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthdemo, it seems that there are many surprises lying in wait once fans return to this game’s world.
Many questions are going around about what will occur in the story ofFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthever sinceRemakeopened up potential possibilities for its successor. InRemake,several scenes blocked recording, making sharing gameplay with communities online difficult. TheFinal Fantasy 7series and the franchise as a whole tell compelling narratives within beautiful but often unforgiving worlds. It becomes pretty easy to get attached to and talk about these characters, and that is one of the largest appeals of the franchise. These stories can be plenty of fun to discuss, but spoilers are never taken lightly.
Tetsuya Nomura appears conscious of this devotion, and in a statement released on Twitter, has asked fans to be careful about what they post. Nomura states that the game’s team “deliberately did not restrict the record and share functions,” but asks that fans do their due diligence in including spoiler warnings and not showing spoilers in video thumbnails. After this, Nomura emphasizes respecting players who want to complete the game before seeing any information online. Consideringhow longFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthis, this message is welcome.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Creative Director Tetsuya Nomura Comments on Spoilers
While community engagement is important,Rebirthis a plot-focused game that will take a long time to finish if only focusing on the story, and even longer for players who want to appreciate all it has to offer. This tends to be why limits are placed on the ability to record these kinds of games and why a statement like this one needs to be issued when those limits are not set. TheFinal Fantasy 7 Remaketrilogy is still far from completionand people may jump into it later when it is finished.
There are exciting possibilities regardingwhat may happen next in theFinal Fantasy 7franchise, and considering that many are saying thatRebirthwill easily clock most players a minimum of 35–40 hours, there will be plenty of moments for fan-favorite characters to have their time in the spotlight. Some are indifferent about knowing what happens before playing, but for many, surprise can define an experience.
