He constantly teases Cloud about not being able to save anyone he loves, and Cloud has flashbacks that look to be about events from the original game. The game implies several times that he has knowledge of how events are supposed to unfold and is testing the bounds of how he can affect change in this world. Remake’s Sephiroth wants to change the future, in hopes of avoiding his demise. If Tifa was killed by Sephiroth, then perhaps the Whispers saved her just like they did with Barret. Or Sephiroth could be messing with the timeline as he already has in FF7 Remake. Cloud could have been scared for his friend's life and not able to confirm if she survived before he passed out, like in the original. Cloud is trying to figure out who he is and what lies his history holds.įF7 Rebirth may change the story of the Nibelheim Incident in some way. Players know the original game and need to parse what is true for this new incarnation of the story. This is something players and Cloud must figure out. What does the future hold? - A block of text asks “What is fact and what is fiction?” during the trailer. He says, “I saw you lying there, I figured it was too late.” This sounds a lot like what Cloud says in the Rebirth trailer directly before Tifa’s mysterious line. “I thought you were a goner,” replies Cloud. “How bad was I after Sephiroth stabbed me?” asks Tifa when Cloud recounts this story to the party while at Kalm. As Cloud enters the room, he witnesses Sephiroth cut down Tifa. In a fit of rage, Tifa picks up the sword Masamune and rushes at Sephiroth but is disarmed. When Sephiroth goes crazy and rampages through the town killing Tifa’s father and Cloud’s mother the group follows him as he enters the reactor. Tifa joins the group as their guide (sporting an awesome cowboy outfit) but does not recognize Cloud, as he hides his face to avoid any embarrassment at not becoming a SOLDIER. Zack (who Cloud later models his personality and memories off), Sephiroth, and Cloud are sent to investigate the Nibel Reactor for Shinra. Throughout the game, Cloud has flashbacks to five years before the main game, when he returned home. The past is catching up - One of the key moments in the original Final Fantasy VII is the mystery surrounding Nibelheim, Cloud, and Tifa’s hometown.
