Square Enix shared new character profiles for Zack and Sephiroth from FFVII Rebirth on social media, giving more insight into the backgrounds and roles of the two SOLDIERs in the Final Fantasy VII series. Both reference what people can expect from them in the new release.
Editor’s Note: There will be spoilers for the ending of FFVII Remake below.
Zack Fair, voiced by Kenichi Suzumura, is a 1st Class SOLDIER at the Shinra Electric Power Company. Despite holding the same rank, Zack is considered a junior to Sephiroth, the famed hero of the Wutai War. Zack is also Aerith’s first love. He inherited the pride of being a SOLDIER and his iconic Buster Sword from his mentor who he respected. In FFVII Remake, he overcomes the threat of death and returns to Midgar alive with Cloud who is affected by Mako poisoning.
Sephiroth, voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa, is a legendary 1st Class SOLDIER at the Shinra Electric Power Company. He was once considered a hero, but had supposedly died during a mission in Nibelheim five years before the events of FFVII Remake. He appears at the Shinra Building to steal Jenova’s body from their research facility. In order for him to become the ruler of the stars, he seeks out his fate and toys with Cloud along the way.
Here are the new FFVII Rebirth images that accompanied both the Zack and Sephiroth profiles.
Square Enix has also recently showed off Elena from the Turks, Red XIII, Chocobos, the quest board, Remnawave Towers, and Chadley from FFVII Rebirth. The official ESRB Rating description for FFVII Rebirth has also been revealed.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will come out for the PS5 on February 29, 2024. The exclusivity deal with Sony ends on May 29, 2024. FFVII Remake is currently available to play on the PS4, PS5, and PC.
