We glimpsed some iconic moments from Final Fantasy 7 during yesterday’s Rebirth trailer, including Cloud’s arrival at the Chocobo farm and the first footage of Elena. It’s interesting, then, to see some of these iconic scenes compared to the PS1 original – and an industrious TikToker, as spotted by GamesRadar, has hastily prepared a comparison for us all to enjoy.
Obviously, this side-by-side is particularly pertinent because there were some concerns after the end of Final Fantasy 7 Remake that Square Enix may throw out the entire plot of the original for its successor – but we can clearly see here that’s not the case, and many of the original moments have remained intact. (Although we’re sure there will still be plenty of deviations along the way.)
The game’s looking real good – so good, in fact, that it’ll ship on two discs. How’s your hype holding up for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth now you’ve had a little time to digest the latest trailer? Stand back-to-back with Tifa in the comments section below.

Trying to image what we would have had if Square stayed with Nintendo.
Glad Sony got this. Despite its flaws, its still one of the best games of all time.
