When it comes to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, one of the biggest reasons that gamers want to get their hands on it sooner rather than later is because they want answers to the questions they have. Specifically, the “remake saga” has already made it clear that significant changes to the original game’s storyline will affect certain plot points in the next two titles. Some of them were basic “quality of life” changes to help flesh things out more. But then, some changes drastically affected how the story would be told and who might be alive at the end of it.

But whether it’ll go the way that it did before remains to be seen. What is driving gamers crazy, though, is that Square Enix and the team behind the game keep teasing that moment over and over again.
