I don't think completely, in the trailer you see the familiar path of the party going from Kalm to Junon, running into the turks and travelling through the chocobo farm. At least initially.
Where do you think Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will end?
- Thread starter Magister Xehanort
- Start date
In the original disc 3 was the final dungeon and side content.
I think the alt universe party of Zack, Cloud, Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie won't interact like that with the main party.
Here's a wild take: I think it will finish on a completely different point from the original.
The first part was called "Remake" because they were "making" the universe again. Setting the basics of how it operates. The second part is called "Rebirth" because it is giving place to something new.
I think that, now it has been established that the Remake is not following the OG to the letter, the story will start to deviate more and more, and it will reach a point in which it will be a completely different and separate thing. The most obvious thing, IMO, is that Aerith will live. And from then on, everything is fair game.
Yeah, I know that the trailer showed them going through familiar places... But 1. we don't know the context of those scenes and 2. trailers can mislead or outright lie :)

I think it's more cause this is the first PS5 game to need 2 discs, and each disc holds 100gb instead of 50gb on PS4
Also just a fun callback more than anything

You have to believe they're lying in interviews as well saying that it's the same path with some curveballs, they've had a consistency for saying that.
I want to say Northern Crater like pretty much everyone else, but it's hard to say how different this is going to be from the original after the Part 1's ending.
It depends how many locations they shuffle around in the order of progression. I have a hard time seeing Rebirth end at Whirlwind Maze even if they move Wutai to part three because nearly all of the remaining locations would have to be in part two. Aside from Mideel and the final dungeon, the rest of the post-Whirlwind Maze story beats all take place in previously visited locations IIRC. That's just so much to stuff into part two, but we'll see. Ending at City of the Ancients would let Square get away with saving a presumed large snow biome zone, Icicle Inn, Great Glacier, Gaea's Cliff and Whirlwind Maze for part three.
Well, if it's two discs then I hope Northern Crater.
The world is fucked, Cloud is missing, Sephiroth has 'won', we just lost (or didn't!) a friend, and our group is in prison awaiting execution.
Perfect Empire Strikes Back downer, cliff-hanger ending. They'd be stupid not to end this installment there.

I agree but I guess some extra curveball like the party fight brainwashed Cloud in a black materia pocket dimension, or some weird twist in the nature of the remake series, the characters defeat him but he manages to give cocooned Sephiroth the materia.
No, what I mean is that trailers do not need to represent the final product. What they show in a trailer can be taken at face value to be similar to the OG game, then recontextualized within the new game and be given a new meaning.
The ending of Part 1 was a massive departure from the original plot. Even if they say that they'll show "the same path", how they get there and, more importantly, what they do there can be wildly different, and that doesn't necessarily contradict their statements.
Yeah everything goes to shit. Would make for a good cliffhanger.Northern Crater seems like the obvious choice.
The WEAPONS unleashed, Sephiroth escapes, Cloud is lost, Shinra returns in force.
[FFVII FMV] The Weapons Get Released
ffvii pc fmv where the weapons get released from the crater on disc 2 i believe? correct me if im wrong. comments welcome. FMV copyright of squaresoft :]www.youtube.com
It just means its a big game. Remake is one disc on PS5 w/ DLC - this potentially has twice the content etc...
Think we end at Northern Crater - evil Cloud fight with the rest of the party and then Cloud v Sephiroth one on one in the whirlwind maze hallucination invaded by Sephiroth bc I think all games will end with a Sephiroth fight.
Definitely by the end of Disc 1 of the original game BUT with different twist and cliffhanger.
I don't think it will end by the North Crater because it will be too much.

I know its a joke but unrealistic, Mickey wouldn't cuss/curse! -Points her finger.-
Northern Crater makes sense. The last 1/4 of FF7 feels like a different game already. First few couple hours is also a fun romp, you have Tifa going through Cloud's mind while the gang is running around the map (4-6 hours easily). Seeing how the world has now changed with the threats of the Weapons, Shinra going all out and etc. You eventually go underwater with a submarine. So many fun things you can pace throughout the final game.
The final dungeon + fight probably takes a good 5-7 hours. Factoring cutscenes into all this.
Maximilian Dood's idea makes sense where the Knights of the Round becomes canon and mandatory which adds a lot. With the areas/zones mostly developed too you're mostly changing the appearance of areas.
Having said that - it won't end at the proper 1:1 natural end point of the PS1 game. It's too bleak - that's where the fun Nomura plot twist comes in to introduce a bit of hope through Zack.

I've been pretty sour on the seemingly inevitable change to keep Aeris alive because I have always loved the willingness to sacrifice such a pivotal character like that, especially with all of the connotations and reasons why it happened. But, now that you mention the PS1 game's original ending, I have to agree that they're going to want to avoid that solemn turnout and keeping her alive will be integral to that end. Maybe I'll warm up to these changes by the grand conclusion -- and I really did enjoy part 1/Intergrade a ton -- but I was among those vanilla lowbrow clowns who really just wanted a faithful recreation of the same game with modern graphics, sound, and mechanics. Cheers to new experiences.
Also, I'm a bit surprised at how many people think it'll end where Disc 1 did. Part 3 would have to be colossal to cram the rest of the game into one final chapter, or we'd be foregoing a lot of places/events entirely. I agree with the suggestion that the Junon escape would be a perfect tutorial for Part 3, so perhaps my first estimation was a bit hamfisted.
If it's not at the event in City of the Ancients, I expect it to be at the Northern Crater, with the character being frozen in mako not being Sephiroth this time, leaving a huge twist to be resolved for the third game and basically confirming the Rebuild of VII.
Instead of Sephiroth, who we already know that might be the OG one and he's not frozen in the crater, Cloud will find another Aerith, after the RE Aerith follows the fate of the original in City of the Ancients, making the player think that at the end, event won't change, until this reveal

Disagree, city of the ancients and the sleeping forest is on the Northern Continent as well, not just the mountain areas, Gaea's cliff which I suspect will be final dungeon areas.
If they want it to be three discs, North Crater. End it on
Tifa and Barret waking up in prison, looking outside, and seeing Meteor.
The party waking up after the events at the North Crater and seeing Meteor in the sky for the first time is how I envision it.
I guess because of multiverse, everything, everywhere, all at once.
The ultimate cliffhanger ending... I like it.Northern Crater seems like the obvious choice.
The WEAPONS unleashed, Sephiroth escapes, Cloud is lost, Shinra returns in force.

Hope they do it.
You are describing my ultimate nightmare scenario by stating you would skip iconic locations like Gold Saucer and Rocket Town. It gives me shivers imagining not getting Gold Saucer..
I already know the plot has gone and will go crazy and am also thinking they are about to keep Aerith alive. Not a fan of that at all if they go for that choice..matter of fact...I would hate that.
BUT..as long as all the iconic locations are in, look amazing atmosphere wise, explorable, with beautiful renditions of the classic songs..I will be happy.
