Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Tweets Highlights New Characters
One of the unique things that Square Enix did with the first entry in its “remake saga” was that it focused on Cloud’s journey through Midgar and the events that happened at the beginning of the original title. By doing so, they could showcase new characters and give depth to ones you didn’t think about before. In Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, that trend will continue. After all, you’ll be able to visit more places than ever before, which means there will be plenty of new people to meet.

That’s important because while the “main focus” of the game is Avalanche’s pursuit of Sephiroth, we also have to remember that Shinra is still trying to get Aerith so that they can find a way into the “Promised Land.” And Broden isn’t the only person they’ve ticked off.
