Aerith’s Shocking Return: Final Fantasy7 Remake Part3 Theories Revealed!

by

The following contains spoilers for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

If the release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has shown us anything, it’s that the trilogy remake of Final Fantasy 7 isn’t shy about making substantial changes when revisiting the original gameplay and narrative. In essence, while Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth follows the same storyline as the original game, it significantly alters some crucial events, particularly in the way it handles Aerith’s journey. Unlike in the original Final Fantasy 7, where Aerith is killed by Sephiroth at the Forgotten Capital while praying, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has chosen to deviate from this iconic and emotional moment in video game history.

In the game Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Sephiroth does indeed take Aerith’s life, yet the narrative unfolds with elements of different realities and timelines. This is suggested when Cloud continues to see Aerith as though she were still alive, despite the rest of the party mourning her death. As a result, the story arc of Aerith in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy remains enveloped in uncertainty. However, this ambiguity paves the way for Aerith to potentially have a substantial impact in the final installment of the trilogy. The specifics of her role in the third game are as yet unclear, much like the concrete details about her destiny, but there are several plausible theories.

What Aerith’s Role Might Be in Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3

Cloud and Others Could Be Influenced by Aerith Due to His Awareness of Her Presence

It seems plausible that the interaction between Aerith and Cloud, despite Aerith’s death in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, may carry over into Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3. This could be explained as a product of Cloud’s intense grief and his difficulty accepting Aerith’s demise, manifesting as a vision or spectral form of Aerith. However, the events in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth hint at a more complex scenario, suggesting that Aerith might possess the ability to interact with Cloud through unconventional means, possibly even traversing different realities or dimensions, commonly referred to as a multiverse.

In the upcoming third part of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, there’s a chance that Red XIII might have sensed Aerith’s presence after her demise in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This could mean that Part 3 might delve deeper into individual interactions between each core party member and Aerith, potentially shaping their character arcs. At the very least, Aerith may serve as a spiritual guide for Cloud, which could indirectly influence the paths taken by his companions too.

Aerith Could Exist in Alternate Realities and Be Playable as a Result

It’s worth considering that Aerith could potentially play a role in the gameplay of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, as creative director Tetsuya Nomura has hinted at her involvement. This implies that a multi-universe concept for Final Fantasy 7 isn’t entirely unreasonable. If Aerith does exist in an alternate reality, there might be instances where players can control her temporarily, possibly during crucial battles, to boost the party’s chances of victory.

Given that Cloud was able to perceive, sense, converse with Aerith even after her demise in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, it seems reasonable to expect this supernatural occurrence to persist in the upcoming Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 as well.

If Aerith isn’t playable across different universes, there’s a possibility that players could control her once more during flashback scenes, possibly some featuring Zack Fair. However, it may be unrealistic to anticipate Aerith as a playable character in Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3. Instead, it seems more reasonable to expect she will significantly influence the plot and Cloud’s character development in the third installment’s storyline.
