Naoki Hamaguchi, the director of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, recently said that his biggest wish in 2024 is for fans of the series to see "Ellie's fate".
In an interview with the Japanese media 4Gamer, Naoki Hamaguchi mentioned that it will meet players' expectations for the "vast world map" of the remastered version of Final Fantasy 7, which will be a significant improvement over its predecessor, and players will be able to explore freely. In addition, he also mentioned that he hopes to let more players see "Alice's fate".
Considering that Tetsuya Nomura, the creative director of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, said that people who have died in the game should not be resurrected again, and that Alice's ending in the original game was death, this remark makes Alice's fate in the "remastered" confusing.
Now director Naoki Hamaguchi's outlook for 2024 may not be something to celebrate for fans of the series.
