Having played Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth from start to finish, I’m happy to confirm that LGBTQ+ folks will eat well in the second part of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy.
Though Rebirth traffics in subtext for most of its queer representation, in true Final Fantasy tradition, the role-playing game (RPG) often breaks the boundaries of heteronormative convention when telling its stories. In my review, I wanted to emphasize that Rebirth is more confident than its predecessor. What I didn’t have time to mention is how this applies to the RPG’s iconoclastic approach to gender norms.
