Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Will Give Sephiroth An Expanded Role

4 months ago 149

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Producer Yoshinori Kitase has revealed during an interview with Game Informer that the upcoming PS5 sequel will give Sephiroth a much larger role to play, similar to how the original game also expanded on the character.

The original version of Final Fantasy VII on PSOne didn’t feature Sephiroth much during the initial Midgard section of the game, although the remake greatly expanded on his role. This is set to continue in Rebirth, and we already know that the silver-haired baddie will be playable, albeit briefly, in one of the game’s sequences.

Remake covers your encounter with Sephiroth, and now within Rebirth, we wanted to make Sephiroth this very clear antagonist and target for the characters to go and pursue through their journey.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will be available exclusively for the PS5 for at least three months, after which it is free to arrive on other formats.
