Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth fans are picking up on a few intricate details in the new key art for the remake sequel.

Yesterday on September 14, Square Enix showered us with a deluge of new Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth-related info, including a release date, trailer, Collector's Edition with 19 inches of Sephiroth, and hints at where the sequel will end. There was also a key art reveal for the sequel, and as the fan just below points out, it quietly connects Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 - Reunion together.

The remake's box art in 2020 featured that iconic shot of Cloud staring up at the imposing Mako Reactor above him, complete with a green sky overhead to signify the energy. Last year, Crisis Core Reunion had Zack, Sephiroth, and Cloud underneath a light blue sky. It's these skies that we can see encroaching on either side of the Rebirth key art.

But perhaps what's most crucial is the fact that they're both leading into the fiery red sky above Sephiroth in the background. The fans in the tweets above clearly think this is a direct nod to the events of Nibelheim, the hometown of both Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart.
