One of the surprises in the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth State of Play trailer is that Cissnei, a Crisis Core FFVII character, will return. While we already saw screenshots and renders for her, there’s now also an official profile that explains what she’s been up to since the last game.
As a reminder, Cissnei first debuted in Before Crisis: FFVII. That was a Japan-exclusive mobile game, the story of which might eventually also end up implemented into FFVII Ever Crisis. There, she was one of the nameless playable characters who served as a member of the Turks. She then later appeared as a named character in Crisis Core FFVII, the prequel focusing on Zack Fair. Once again, she appeared as a Turk. However, during the later events of Before Crisis, which took place after Crisis Core, she ended up going off on her own.
The new profile shared on social media covers what happened since. It revealed Cissnei went to Gongaga, the hometown of Zack, following the events of past games. However, Square Enix’s announcement describes her past as a “mystery,” rather than referring to the events of the past two games.
Here’s the FFVII Rebirth Cissnei profile:
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will come to the PS5 on February 29, 2024, with the exclusivity arrangement ending on May 29, 2024. FFVII Remake is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC, and FFVII Ever Crisis is available on the PC and mobile devices.
