I'll believe it when I see it, but if ANY of this holds on release....

It's not exactly a subtitle that's so extremely out there that I actually stop to give this random 4chan rumor any consideration.

A reminder to people skeptical of 4chan leaks, someone accurately leaked Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee there, on April Fool's of all days.

Most of the shit is bullshit, but sometimes you just never know.

I haven't played the original game, but know general beats… this sounds… very different and
like this isn't a remake so much as a story that is set in an alternate universe and significantly branches off at the end of this game

is my assumption correct?

Many people were guessing the "Rebirth" name. But some of the unusual ideas here do make it seem plausible.

While on paper, some of the ideas might make fans throw up, I'm generally of the mindset that if they can keep the characters feeling as human and heartfelt as they did in Part 1, then it will still be an effective and emotionally resonant tale, no matter how wild it gets.

That being said, while I expect some deviations from the original game, I still trust the devs when they say the story will hit most of the same beats, as in people, places, events and outcomes.

Gonna need further corroboration than guessing the game title, given that this particular game title wasn't impossible to guess. Just search "remake rebirth reunion" on era to find multiple users making the same guess.

Most of the shit is bullshit, but sometimes you just never know.
For instance, the above includes several details which were confirmed in the reveal for Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee: remakes based on yellow, new playable character designs, GO integration, new GO accessory, and GO style catching. It was more than just the title, which in the case of FFVIIR was guessed by multiple individuals.

Remake Part 1's ending literally tells you this is what this trilogy is

The lack of Cid as a playable character is the giveaway that this is fake.

We already had a spear wielding character in the DLC. It's obviously a prototype for Cid's animations.

The dude just got lucky with the Rebirth title, but that was a relatively common speculated title (not as common as Reunion, but still pretty common).

That sounds like a summary written specifically to make lots of people mad

I mean… they already lost me with the first one and all the changes so at this point I actually hope they go full crazy with it.

Based on what I read there, I really wouldn't like it. But fuck I think I need to see it.

This "leak" also doesn't mention Cait Sith, at all. Seems like a bit of an omission to not note what role Cait Sith might play, when Part 1 already had the character make a cameo.

I mean we have people guessing at the Rebirth name literally minutes after the ending of Remake was known. It's not exactly something that would make a leak more credible than any other.

It's honestly bizarre and nonsensical enough to be plausible and if it isn't, well done on the fan fic I guess

The fact that we had Sonon who used a spear and was them testing team attacks alreday proves that Cid not being playable is bullshit

The bit about Jessie is the best idea of the bunch. Her appearing at the Gold Saucer (in a Power Rangers show!) would be amazing, especially if it's somehow in the party's timeline.

If this is legit..Just…wow..I'm not even mad just laughing.

And to think I had held out foolish hopes that they'd at least try to..kinda stick to the main plot points in part 2….lulz.

Ah well at least the original still exists.

I mean, if we're gonna get nuts, I'd hope they lean all the way into it.

That said, Rebirth isn't exactly a difficult subtitle to guess.

Rebirth was not an uncommon guess for the game's title, everyone knew it'd be RE-something

Cid being unplayable is the biggest red flag, I'm pretty sure the whole reason they gave Sonon a staff in Intermission was so they could reuse his animations for Cid's gameplay

Always believe every single 4chan leak

this mindset has never steered me wrong

Oh boy, this honestly lines up with some of the theories I had. It would explain why there was footage of Cloud/Sephiroth together.

This is way too insane to be real right? lmao
Despite what people will say about Nomura's writing, I'm gonna say yeah, it's a bit too insane. The "Warrior of Light" stuff is a step too far. The Genesis stuff is a little more plausible but feels like its put in there just to piss of people who don't like Genesis.

And, like I mentioned earlier, the lack of Cid pretty much 100 percent confirms it to be false.

The mocap picture someone posted seems to suggest Cid is in it too. Cloud, Barret and Cid's mocap actors posing for a photo.
