's director, Naoki Hamaguchi, has opened up about Zack Fair's involvement in the game, noting that he is an "immensely important" character who plays a "crucial" role in the story.
There are a lot of questions that need to be answered in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth (especially when it comes to its ending and who is going to meet a grisly fate), but unarguably the biggest has to do with everyone's favourite Gongaga resident - Zack Fair. ended with a big twist by revealing that Zack, or possibly an alternate-universe version of him, had somehow escaped his fated death alongside a comatose Cloud.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth I💖s Already Bringing The Dead Back To L🦋ife
Jessie Ras𒁃berry is back, so who else could rise from the grave in Rebirꩵth?
Although Square Enix has kept pretty quiet about how Zack is going to factor into Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and inclusion in its key art have made it seem like he's going to play a big role in the story, something which has now been made even clearer by Rebirth's director, Naoki Hamaguchi.
, Hamaguchi noted that players will be able to "understand more of the Final Fantasy 7 worldview" and deepen their understanding of the world through him. He then goes on to say that Zack has been used to depict the combined view of the original creators of Final Fantasy 7 (Kazushige Nojima, Tetsuya Nomura, and Yoshinori Kitase) on how Midgar c🐓ame to be.
That's all fairly vague, but Hamaguchi also notes that Zack is "immensely important" to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and is a "crucial, key character". In fact, Zack is so integral to Rebirth that Hamaguchi compares him to Remake's Whispers, who literally shaped the story and are one of the most important parts of the narrative as a whole.
"As much as the Whispers within the story, Zack is anও equallജy, immensely important, crucial, key character to this story that I believe fans will enjoy within Rebirth."
Sadly, beyond his claims that players will understand the world of Midgar through Zack, Hamaguchi didn't go into more detail about why he's so important to Rebirth or how his story is going to play out. One thing is very clear, though - Zack is going to be a big deal. Let's just hope he steers clear of The Forgotten Capital.
