Vincent and Cid Won't Be Playable in FFVII Rebirth, Zack's Role Expanded

Vincent and Cid won't be playable in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, just AI companions like Red XIII in Remake.
Red XIII and Cait Sith will be playable, along with Yuffie who was playable in Intergrade. Sephiroth will also be briefly playable.
Zack Fair is getting an expanded role compared to the original game. There will be a new episode focused on him.
While disappointing for fans, Vincent and Cid will still fight alongside the party as AI companions.
The writer asks readers who their favorite FFVII companions are and to discuss in the comments.
