I'm so looking forward to FFVII Rebirth but at the same time I'm so afraid they'll shit the bed with the convoluted story nonsense.

At the end of the first game, we were supposedly free of fate, and things were going to widely diverge as the original game was literally remade, but now it's "nope lol the trilogy still ends exactly the same and leads to Advent Children!"

I honestly don't see how that can be the case without severe leaps of logic. Sephiroth has no reason to try to kill Aerith, for one. Two of the Avalanche trio are still alive but they have to die too. And who the fuck knows what will happen with Zack.

*FF7/FF7R SPOILER ALERT*

I really don't think they know what they're doing lol. They (Kitase wasn't it?) pretty much said the writer (Nojima?) will progress with the story depending on the players' reception of Rebirth's ending.

Plot-wise, it should have been a faithful Remake with just more side content, fleshed out characters, interactions, and backstories, but no fate altering bs. I'm afraid every motherfucker including Sephiroth and Jenova are gonna have their happy or heroic/redeeming endings. Not to mention video game history's most iconic death won't happen, be very prepared for Zack ruining it with the power of love. I can see him taking "our Aerith" with him to his dimension where "the other Aerith" died. Bleh.

Also... am I the only one here annoyed by the spoilers and the amount of stuff they're showing in trailers/screenshots? I swear this game will end up being the most "it's complicated" relationship in my gaming life.

Did they confirm it'll lead to Advent Children?
