Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Summary
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthdoes a lot of oeuvre to set up a climactic conclusion to the remaking trilogy , but there ’s one central regard in which it ’s making the next biz ’s job harder . carve up one classic into three plot is a tall order , even if the originalFF7packed more story into its relatively efficient runtime than many RPGs twice the length manage to tell . Rebirth ’s approach to expanding the storytries a lot of different things , some of which evidence significantly more successful than others .
One change in approach that really start inFF7 Remakeis an increased accent on Sephiroth . Despite brood large over the culture for ten now , Sephiroth had a broadly speaking minimum presence in the original biz , act as an often unseen vestige over the story that turned up in some memorable fundamental succession rather than a frequently recur villain . FF7 Remaketosses in a fair parcel of extra show , an act thatRebirthfollows with some additions of its own .
FF7 Rebirth is an particular payoff to the world of Gaia that slant to a great extent into its hotshot - constellate memorable plaster bandage and a classic - but - reimagined chronicle ,
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Overuses Sephiroth Yet Again
Some Things Are Best Left To The Imagination
It ’s not that surprising that theFF7 Remaketrilogy is increasing Sephiroth ’s presence . After fracturing the storey , there ’s likely some headache over eject game where the principal villain scantily shows up . It ’s still not the right decision , however , andFF7 Rebirthproves once again that the less - is - more approaching to Sephiroth that the originalFF7took stay a stronger choicethan more maximum alternatives .
TheFF7 Rebirthscene that unspoilt exemplifies this problem is likely the fight with Midgardsormr , a giant serpent that can be found when the company is firstmoving from the Grasslands to Junon . In the original biz , the party could occur across a slain serpent transfix on a spiked numb Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree , an image that lent a terrifying sentiency of power to the approximation of Sephiroth . It did n’t necessitate explaining , as whatever the mind could conjure up up proved more resonant than a conflict view between Sephiroth and the wolf likely would have .
Sephiroth ’s " One - Winged Angel " theme plays during the penultimate fight in Final Fantasy 7 , and many buff still do n’t what the lyrics actually imply .

InFF7 Rebirth , however , the deed is depict , and it play out in a way that completely recede its inscrutable grandeur . Sephiroth essentially fling the snake into the gentle wind in a ridiculously conventionalize personal manner , which arguably makes his terror feel less existent rather than more . Subtlety is n’t exactlyFF7 Rebirth ’s strong courtship , and it ’s essentially mesh under the same misconception as every repulsion movie that shows the lusus naturae too much . With each appearing , Sephiroth loses more mystique and gains very slight for it , even as the bet escalate to bigger and big battle .
FF7 Remake Part 3 Has An Uphill Battle With Sephiroth
Maintaining The Climax’s Impact Will Require Serious Work
FF7 Rebirth ’s climactic confrontation with Sephirothfeels genuinely grand , but it ’s also the second Sephiroth elevated finale in theRemaketrilogy , andthe games are starting to run a risk of belittle restoration . The concluding Sephiroth showdown in the originalFF7is showstopping , and prototype of his final form and his absurd Super Nova attack are still burned into player ' memories now . There ’s little doubt thatFF7 Remake Part 3will throw all of its production note value at this scrap , but after two exaggerated Sephiroth climaxes , whether it will have the same impact as before remains to be seen .
FF7 Rebirth does n’t keep abreast the original game to the letter , and this end up being a major downgrade when it reach its emotional climax .
One possibility is thatFF7 Remake Part 3could have a different final bossentirely , which would be a transformative conclusion to the yarn about commute fate and parallel worlds that the game have progress so far . It seems reasonably unlikely that the narrative will commit to a utter overhaul of events , but multiple possibilities could end up being thread together , a concept that already has precedent in the trilogy . Like inFF7 Rebirth ’s approach to its ending , this could terminate up further damaging the impingement of the bit that really matter , so it ’s also not much of a solution .

The best thing at this pointedness would probably be forFF7 remaking Part 3to merely ignore the error of its forerunner and carry through Sephiroth for his boastful moments . This is just one part of a bigger shift that need to encounter , as the incessant chaos of fun possibilities inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthneeds to give way to a focused and relatively sombre track to a determination , but it might be the most important . Sephiroth needs to feel special , and although it might be too late to utterly preserve that view , it ’s not too late to salvage it .
