Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Trailer Hints at Major Changes to Aerith's Fateful Death Scene

  • Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will end at The Forgotten Capital, where Aerith's fateful death scene takes place in the original game.

  • The remake games have introduced changes and new timelines, so Aerith's death may play out differently in Rebirth.

  • Aerith's death is an iconic moment in Final Fantasy VII and gaming history, so any changes to it would be very risky.

  • The Rebirth trailer hints at alternate timelines, with a glimpse of Zack surviving and Cloud injured, suggesting Aerith may not die.

  • We'll find out for sure how the story unfolds when Rebirth releases on PlayStation 5 in February 2024 across two discs.
