FFVII Rebirth Theory Predicts Delayed Cid Introduction, Rocket Cliffhanger

Fan theory suggests Cid may not join the party in FFVII Rebirth until after Sephiroth summons Meteor, unlike in the original game.

Theory speculates Cid's rocket experiment could be moved to Rebirth and serve as a cliffhanger ending.

Original FFVII had scrapped idea for Cid to launch a rocket to try to stop Meteor as a suicide mission.

Creative director Tetsuya Nomura has confirmed Red XIII, Vincent, Cait Sith, and Cid will be playable like in original.

Rebirth launches February 29th, 2023 on PlayStation 5, so fans awaiting story changes like Cid's introduction.
