Spoilers ahead, but let’s talk about how Rebirth’s ending falls short of Remake’s thematic thrust
I’ve had more than a month to consider Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s ending, and it’s not often that my feelings about something get worse with each passing day. Yet, here I am, thinking about how Square Enix has chosen to cap off the middle section of its planned Remake trilogy, and I’m even more puzzled by how hard Rebirth commits to being non-commital in its eleventh hour.
Fate could be defied, but those possibilities are happening somewhere else—not in the game world in which we spent 30 to 100 hours traveling towards this conclusion. The entire emotional weight of Aerith’s death is obscured and confused during Rebirth’s final hours as the game rapidly oscillates between visions of different continuities in which she survives.
