Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is going to feature a scene that made the game’s Creative Director cry, but it’s not what everybody may think.
There will be some spoilers after this point, so avoid reading if you haven’t played the original release.
Speaking with Game Informer, Creative Director Tetsuya Nomura talked about how the team wanted to depict characters much more deeply when they decided to remake the seventh entry in the series. As such, it’s not only Aerith’s arc that will see deeper development, but even other characters and story sequences, such as Dyne. There’s one sequence featuring Marlene’s real father that made Nomura-san cry, which director Naoki Hamaguchi feels is one of the top, most wonderful scenes.
Considering how there are quite a few scenes that are sure to make players cry in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, all this praise for a scene related to a character who is not exactly central to the story bodes extremely well for the experience as a whole.
On a related note, Square Enix also provided a new quick look at Caith Sit and a short preview of the Gold Saucer theme. You can find it below.
