With less than three months until Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth hits shelves, it seems only natural that Square Enix brought a new look at the upcoming game to this year’s The Game Awards. The studio showed off some of this new footage during the show with a dramatic musical segment revealing the game’s new theme song. Square Enix then released a full-length trailer on YouTube.
The trailer teases several key moments from the original game–including one beloved character’s untimely fate (if you know, you know). It also foreshadows a very messy situation Cloud must soon confront, as he tells Tifa: “Sometimes I don’t even know who I am. I forget things everyone else remembers just fine, and know things I’ve got no right knowing.”

Now Playing: FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH – Theme Song Announcement Trailer
Interestingly enough, the trailer also heavily features Zack Fair, the protagonist of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and an older brother figure of sorts to Cloud. We see Zack’s legendary (and theoretically tragic) face-off against the Shinra military, followed by him talking to Biggs in (presumably) a universe where every Avalanche member apart from him has been killed. However, there is plenty of room to speculate that’s not quite what’s going on–but we’ll save it for another time. We then see Zack standing beside a comatose Cloud, speaking to Marlene. Marlene tells Zack that once Cloud wakes up, a scary man will kill her, with “her” presumably meaning everyone’s favorite flower girl, Aerith.
The trailer also offers fans a first look at the game’s final party member, Cid Highwind, a glimpse Cait Sith’s combat, a closer look at Vincent Valentine, and plenty of clips from pivotal scenes, such as Barret and Dyne’s dramatic meeting. It then closes with a first look at the upcoming theme song for Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, which appears to make its grand entrance during the Golden Saucer’s Dragon King play.
Of course Final, Fantasy VII: Rebirth’s new trailer wasn’t the only big reveal at The Game Awards. We’ve rounded up a list of the night’s biggest announcements, as well as every The Game Awards winner.
