"Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: PS5 Exclusivity Ends, New Gameplay Revealed"

With the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth approaching, the State of Play trailer has hinted at significant deviations from the original game's narrative, leading to speculation that the remake trilogy may be a sequel to the 1997 original. A scene featuring Aerith in the Sector 5 Slums Church suggests a connection to the iconic moment of her death in the original game, hinting at a possible alternate timeline influenced by Sephiroth's consciousness in the Lifestream. The game's release on February 29 will provide more insight into this theory.
