With the hype ofFinal Fantasy 7 Remakestill burning on and anticipation for its next part high, the world is in a quiet Final Fantasy 7 frenzy. Square is certainly capitalizing on this byreleasing other Final Fantasy titles on Xbox Game Pass, and some new information indicates what might be in store inFinal Fantasy 7 Remake Pt. 2.
Square Enix recently trademarked several things related toFinal Fantasy 7and, by extensionFinal Fantasy 7 Remake. Two of these trademarks, “Ever Crisis” and “The First Soldier” clearly relate to the lore ofFinal Fantasy 7Remake, and the last one, the Shinra Corp logo, is even more overt.

Each ofthe new trademarks by Squarerelates to a different aspect ofFinal Fantasy 7’s lore, and together could hint at some of the important parts ofFinal Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2. For starters, “Ever Crisis” likely relates directly to Zack Fair, whose story took a turn for the unexpected inFinal Fantasy 7 Remake. “The First Soldier” likely relates to Sephiroth, who has been in the spotlight lately thanks to his appearance inSuper Smash Brothers Ultimate. How these will stack up inFinal Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2is currently unknown.
Spoilers Ahead for the end ofFinal Fantasy 7 Remake
“Ever Crisis” mirrors the title ofCrisis Core:Final Fantasy 7, Zack Fair’s solo outing, which expanded on his role in the lore. It ended with his death at the hands of Shinra, but inFinal Fantasy 7 Remake,it looks like he survives. Whether this is the result of an alternate universe, split timeline, or both is as yet unknown. It’s also not knownwhat Zack’s role will be going forward, but hopefully, he proves a good addition toFinal Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2, since many fans would be disappointed if he doesn’t.
As for “The First Soldier,” it’s similarly unknown what this entails for Sephiroth, though there can be some speculation.Sephiroth and Aerith’s voice actors recently filmed a scene together, implying that the two will have more interaction. Perhaps Sephiroth will get his own solo section exploring the two characters' connection as it exists inFinal Fantasy 7 Remake– and it does seem to exist, although its nature is unclear.
There have already been somehuge departures from the originalFinal Fantasy 7storyinFinal Fantasy 7 Remakeand it looks like there will be many more, though hopefully, the new ones are good.
