In what is a shocking new direction for Final Fantasy, and the RPG genre as a whole, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will have a story and characters. Hard to wrap your head around, isn’t it? But apparently it’s the truth.
Square Enix has released another strange developer update for the upcoming sequel. This particular post says, “Players will witness a chain of narrative developments […] while discovering the fate of each character.”
Not everyone is as smart as we are, so we won’t judge you if the terminology has slipped your mind. In this case, a “chain of narrative developments” means that the game will have a story. Square Enix is breaking new ground again, just like it did with the original Final Fantasy VII many years ago!

No, but in all seriousness, that’s a weird way to promote a game. The editor has been making these updates for the past few days, but this one takes the cake. The previous update said that Rebirth will offer a “high degree of freedom,” which at least sounds vaguely interesting in the context of Remake’s very linear gameplay structure.
Anyway, can you believe that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will have a story? And even characters? Pick your jaw off the floor in the comments section below.
