Obviously, spoilers are ahead for both the original PlayStation alongside Rebirth.
Speaking with Game Informer, Nomura explained that life was always a central theme rooted deep in Final Fantasy 7 and that he knew the team would have to showcase life and death. Much like the Honey Bee Inn, this even more iconic scene will be interesting to see how the team could pull it off.
