Where should you start with Final Fantasy 7?
Or so it seems. If you start putting together the highlighted words from the Japanese tweets, they start forming another cryptic message, which fans think reveal hints about how Rebirth will mess with the Final Fantasy 7 timeline. According to Aitaikimochi’s translations, they go something like this:
Let’s take a look at Day 1-5 FF7 Rebirth tweet keywords in Japanese, which really does give me reason to believe even more that there’s a hidden message.Day 1: 時期を調整 (fix the time[line])Day 2: 高い自由 (steep freedom)Day 3: 運命の行方 (the whereabouts of destiny)Day 4:…pic.twitter.com/5utuiURWyV— ☆オードリーAudrey☆ (@aitaikimochi)June 6, 2023

In some sense, there’s nothing we don’t already know here. The end ofFinal Fantasy 7 Remakemade it clear that thisnow trilogyof new FF7 games wasn’t going to be a straightforward rehash of the FF7 storyline, and that timeline shenanigans were definitely going to be afoot in its sequel. It’s also probably safe to assume that Rebirth will introduce new party members, and that we’ll tread new paths (or tracks) that have been remixed due to the nature of its timey-wimey hoohah.
But compare that to the highlighted words on the English FF7 tweets, and err… I don’t think they’ve quite managed to achieve the same effect:
In any case, I think one thing wecaninfer from either language is that we’ll probably be hearing more about FF7 Rebirth very soon, possibly even at tonight’sSummer Game Fest- or at the very least sometime imminent, given the whole ‘It’s NotE3 season’ right now.
