5 things you need to know about the FF7 Revelation that is blowing up the gaming world
- A major leak from a former Square Enix employee suggests that the original Final Fantasy 7 had a completely different ending, where Sephiroth was not the final boss, but a hidden god-like entity tied to the planet's core.
- The revelation claims that this scrapped final battle was designed to be a psychological horror sequence, with Sephiroth manipulating the party's memories and turning Tifa against Cloud in an emotional confrontation.
- A dataminer found cryptic filenames in the game's code that match the leak, referencing "Planet_Soul_Battle" and "Mako_God_Entity," which were never fully removed from the original game.
- The leak also reveals that Aerith's famous death scene was originally going to have a twist where she briefly revived to whisper a cryptic warning about "the one who pulls the strings," before dying permanently.
- Fans are now speculating that the upcoming Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 might integrate this cut content, meaning the original story fans thought they knew could be completely different from what's actually coming.
