What Exactly do the Whispers want?Īs events played out in Final Fantasy VII Remake, fans got a taste of what the Whispers were capable of. There have been hints of his reintroduction in Remake, but nothing concrete so far. His need to be a hero in the eyes of the public would also give him added motivation to embark on such an endeavor and his status as AVALANCHE’s leader would give Shinra extra incentive to perform the self-sabotage seen in Remake’s opening hours (and the later dropping of the Sector 7 plate) so that they could damage the heroic public image he so desperately craves. Instead of existing solely as Barret’s small group of operators, this AVALANCHE is a proper organization with one goal: stop Shinra.Ĭonsidering Genesis’ vendetta against Shinra, his natural charisma, immense power and popularity, he’d have little trouble creating such an organization. One of the strongest pieces of evidence is the sheer scale of the AVALANCHE organization. It’s reasonable to think that this is still the case in Final Fantasy VII Remake, but there is reason to believe that he’ll become an active force in the story. At the time the Final Fantasy VII takes place, he’s sealed in an underground chamber deep below Midgar. Genesis Rhapsodos’ story has gone largely unresolved ever since Dirge of Cerberus revealed that he was once again active in the world. If her knowledge includes her other self’s death, fans might just get to see an Aerith very different from the one that came before, an Aerith fully possessed of Cetra knowledge and with time enough to be affected by it. What exactly she knows and what she intends to do about it is still unclear, but it must be something significant enough to trigger her character shift much earlier in the story. She somehow already seems to know something important about Sephiroth, something that she has no business knowing at this point unless she, like Sephiroth, somehow has a level of awareness of the original game’s events. In Final Fantasy VII Remake though, it’s heavily hinted that Aerith already knows a lot more than she’s letting on. It’s likely how she was able to realize what needed to be done and ultimately save Gaia from Meteor. It could be said that Aerith, in the moments before her murder at the hands of Sephiroth, fully understood it all.

It wasn’t until near the end of the game, after she’d fully awoken to her Cetra heritage, that Aerith’s awareness of the world grew beyond that of the others. She might’ve even been less aware compared to Cloud and the AVALANCHE members in some respects. She knew about of some of the world’s sad realities thanks to her history with Shinra, but was otherwise about as much in the know as everyone else. Throughout most of the original Final Fantasy VII, Aerith was every bit the bright, happy-go-lucky girl she appeared to be. Naturally, spoilers for Final Fantasy VII Remake will be found below. This difference naturally raise questions and now seems like a good time to discuss some of the biggest.

Final Fantasy VII Remake’s version of events is very different in many important ways, and it’s looking like that’s only going to grow in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Yet, these represent the beginning of the changes rather than their sum total.

There are new activities and side-stories to be enjoyed as well. Some characters’ roles have been expanded as have some locations. While enjoying the return to the world of Gaia in Final Fantasy VII Remake, fans will have no doubt noticed more than a few…differences…between this and the original game.
