Is the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy actually an alt-universe sequel series? Where/when the hell is Zack Fairs? What are those shadowy Whispers doing? Will Cloud end up with Barret after all? The trilogy's director, Naoki Hamaguchi, doesn't intend to answer fans' biggest theories because that would only spoil the fun, he says.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake and its sequel, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, are pretty liberal reimaginings of the original game. They loosely follow the contours of 1997's classic, but there are so many changes chucked in that calling them straight remakes is a little tough. Heck, Rebirth even introduces diverging timelines into the mix and practically invites fans to start scribbling on their walls like the Charlie Day meme.
