Final Fantasy 7 bad boy Sephiroth will be fully playable in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

A new release date trailer for the game was shown at last night’s PlayStation State of Play, which included a shot of Cloud and Sephiroth together in battle. In a follow-up interview on the PlayStation Blog, creative director Tetsuya Nomura confirmed Sephiroth will be playable.

“If you played the original Final Fantasy 7, I’m sure you can guess which scene I’m talking about,” he said. “You will be able to control Sephiroth in the same scene in this title as you did in the original.”

    Bro if it’s the scene I’m thinking of, it’s going to be just horrible emotionally to play that out. Don’t get me wrong it’s going to be amazing thematically, but as a massive fan since my teens, it’s definitely going to wreck me.

      Unless… Unless you can have him just leave, instead of the… other thing. And then the rest of the game is just different.
      I don’t know how I feel about that. On the one hand I’d love to change that scene. On the other, it would cheapen all the emotional investment that scene has. Maybe.
