The official trailer shows various Final Fantasy 7 characters specifically Cloud, Sephiroth, Aerith, Zack, and Tifa (voice). The story will center around Cloud and his party leaving Midgard to explore the outer world. The trailer also shows the players wonder what the fate of the world will be like.
These are the interesting lines and events from the trailer. These left fans wondering and on the edge of their seats.
- Changed Fate – The trailer started off with this statement which right off the bat brings uncertainty and without a doubt puts new twists on the story.
“What we’ve done is set in stone. The past is forever, but the future, even if it has been written, can be changed. So focus on the future, not the past.”

- Cloud’s Nibelheim Flashback – A large part of the trailer was Cloud and Sepiroth walking side by side thru a hilly terrain overlooking the jagged edges of the Nibel mountains and the Mako Reactor.
- Zack Fair Carrying Cloud – Zack is alive! Need I say more? Kidding aside, it looks the Zack Fair will have an interesting role in the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
- Aerith’s Death Scene – In a flash, Aerith’s death scene flashed along with after a Meteor hitting Gaia and the ending of an interesting voiceover of Tifa.
- Tifa’s Destiny – To add to the uncertainties, Tifa’s voice-over in a conversation with Cloud questions what is reality and what is fiction.
Wait. What are you implying? That I died? That I’m some kind of an imposter?”
