PlayStation blog provides some insight into what went into reimagining Final Fantasy VII’s iconic Sephiroth and Aerith characters
Game director Yoshinori Kitase explains that Sephiroth is barely seen in the original game during the events that Rebirth will cover, but this time around he’ll be the “driving force that pulls the story along.” The intention here is to give Sephiroth more depth and tap into his charismatic nature to make him an even more exciting antagonist than ever.
As for Aerith, without spoilers there’s a key scene in the original that Square Enix intends to add extra detail to. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth arrives on the PlayStation 5 on February 29. .
