Resolution, Resurrection, Renewal? What will Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Part 3 be referred to as?

So, Final Fantasy Remake Part 2 is actual. It’s formally referred to as Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and it’s coming ‘next Winter’. That provides us loads of time to arrange by taking part in the newly-announced Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 remaster, getting primed on the story, and studying who Zack Fair is, and what he has to do with Cloud, Tifa, Barrett, Red XIII and the prolonged Midgar crew.

But earlier than we get to revisit the second a part of the enduring Final Fantasy 7 story, we have to reply to some burning questions we now have in regards to the subsequent title within the collection. During the Final Fantasy 7 twenty fifth Anniversary stream, returning Square Enix director Yoshinori Kitase revealed that there’s a 3rd recreation within the collection already in growth. We’ve had Remake, we’re getting Rebirth, and we’re anticipating… one thing else. But what may it’s referred to as?

Now, we all know that Tetsuya Nomura, Kitase and their Square Enix growth workforce likes somewhat little bit of wordplay. Look on the prolonged Final Fantasy 7 compilation and I’m certain you’ll discover a sample: Advent Chrildren, Before Crisis, Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus, Ever Crisis. See it? AC, BC, CC, DC, and so forth. Given that we’ve had Remake and Rebirth, so far, it stands to cause that the third recreation goes to be RE–one thing.

A fast record of some re- phrases acquired us considering; what may the sport be referred to as? There are clearly some extra wise concepts tied to the occasions and lore of the Final Fantasy 7 world – Resolution, Resurrection, Revenge – however then there’s a ton of others that additionally match (in case you get a bit artistic).

What about requiem, reload, regurgitate, relapse, report, rerelease, restart, retcon, reticent, revisit, reply, reanimate, resurrect, return, limit, replicate, remiss, redo, reawakening? There are 1000’s of choices.

To reduce via the chaff, a few of the workforce right here at VG247 has picked what it’d wager could be the title of the subsequent recreation, in addition to a blurb describing the selection and why we predict – in case you’re a betting particular person – you must put cash on our selections*.

Without additional ado, right here’s what we predict the ultimate recreation within the Final Fantasy Remake trilogy will probably be referred to as.

Alex Donaldson, Assistant Editor: RESOLUTION

The apparent alternative was Reunion, after all – that is a recurring, main theme all through the entire FF7 universe, referring to the phenomenon of Jenova’s cells being drawn again collectively – one thing which deeply impacts Cloud. However, with the Reunion subtitle being handed to the newly-announced HD Remaster of spin-off Crisis Core (the place, by the best way, it matches completely), evidently’s off the desk.

So, let me put ahead my subsequent choose: Final Fantasy VII Resolution. Here’s my logic. With the modifications FF7 Remake makes to the timeline, evidently we’re lastly heading for a remaining once-and-for-all decision of the sport’s storyline.

Right now, the present newest factors within the FF7 timeline are Advent Children, the place Sephiroth is defeated once more however guarantees to “never be a memory”, and Dirge of Cerberus. Both depart some unfastened ends untied, with Dirge even having a post-credits stinger that was by no means resolved.

I’m utilizing the phrase resolve loads, proper? Well, that is as a result of that is what this franchise wants – decision. I feel the newly exploded timeline will enable Tetsuya Nomura, Kazushige Nojima, and the opposite story collaborators to herald unfastened ends from proper throughout the timeline – and supply a remaining finish. Sephiroth destroyed endlessly – or reformed, no matter makes probably the most sense. So Resolution is my choose – a title to represent how this may be the ultimate entry within the FF7 saga.

Tom Orry, Editor-in-Chief: REMAKE, REMADE and REBIRTHED

In one other twist to the FF7 Remake saga, the third recreation within the trilogy will in truth be a remake of Remake and Rebirth – utterly reimagining the primary and second remakes right into a model new remake that references the unique FF7 and the 2 present remakes to create the last word remake.

At the identical time, Square Enix will lastly launch the unique FF7 Remake on Xbox platforms, complicated everybody within the course of because it gained’t make any reference to the brand new Remake, Remade and Rebirthed, which gained’t make it to Xbox for an extra seven years.

Connor Makar, Staff Writer: RENEWAL

I reckon Renewal is an efficient shout, since the whole lot in FF7 surrounds the concept of bringing again the planet from the brink of ecological catastrophe.

Since the Remake trilogy seems to be aiming to breathe some extra life into the FF7 story by way of new narrative twists and modernized gameplay, the third recreation within the trilogy may very effectively act as a remaining act of Renewal for the collection. With that context, maybe we’ll see a conclusion to the story with all of the solid coming off higher? The teaser trailer we already noticed appears to suggest that Aerith could survive the occasions of the sport – so I do not suppose it is out of the query that the gang will go about saving the world, with everybody making it throughout the end line okay.

Dom Peppiatt, Features Editor: RESURRECTION

Watching that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth trailer yesterday, one factor instantly stood out to me: Aerith’s voice strains. Anyone that is aware of something about Final Fantasy 7 – hell, even video video games at giant – will know that Aerith dies within the recreation. Some of you might even have tried to do all of the nonsense stuff you heard about on the college playground to try to get her again as soon as she bit the proverbial bullet, however to no avail. Aerith dies. That’s that.

But, what if she didn’t? What if there was really a option to save the flower woman with the inexperienced eyes? What if there was a option to see what occurs on the finish of the story, with Aeris by your aspect? Perhaps within the Remake trilogy, that would be the case. Those strains within the trailer – that undoubtedly sound like they’re coming from Aerith’s voice actress – say “Wait, what are you implying? That I died? That I’m some kind of imposter?”

Given that we’ve already seen Sephiroth mess with the continuity of the sport in comparison with its authentic kind, is it actually that outlandish to counsel that possibly – possibly – Aerith may stay? That the sport may depart that a lot from the supply materia(l)?

I like Alex’s suggestion that this recreation will knit collectively parts of all the compilation, however I additionally suppose the third recreation will probably be to this point faraway from the precise occasions of Final Fantasy 7 that – at that time – it’ll be an entire new chapter within the franchise and one thing that’ll stand aside wholly from the story the unique recreation was telling. As such, Resurrected could be a killer subtitle, no? To symbolize one thing that has been completed, as soon as, and introduced again once more as one thing completely completely different to what it as soon as was. Something unknowable, fully it’s personal factor.

Is Square Enix that whacky? A fast have a look at Ever Crisis, Dirge of Cerberus, First Soldier and Advent Children means that sure, it’s.
