While we wait for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, there is still a lot of juice to get out of the reinvention of the adventures of Cloud and company. And it is that there are little secrets that have not yet been solved regarding the past of Shinra corporation.
Indeed, the main villains of the saga (except Sephiroth) are led by Rufus Shinra after the death of his father, but for years there has been speculation about the origin of the company. When Final Fantasy X-2 was released in 2004, alarm bells went off.
A boy named Shinra appeared in the game and claimed that the life energy of the world of Spira could be harnessed for the benefit of the people. Of course, everything seemed to point to both works were connected and that we ran into the founder of the very company.
Square Enix solves the doubt
Although this wink is known, more theories have now been added after the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake. In the episode where we visit the Shinra building, we can see a photo with the company’s employees. In the center we ran into one of them wearing a mask very similar to Shinra’s character, which seemed to clear up all doubts.
Square Enix has decided to speak through Motomu Toriyama, co-director of scenario design for the seventh installment. According to him, “we did this so that players can enjoy speculating, but it could just be a commemorative photo of one of the company employees dressing up of the.”
Therefore, here we have a new reference that feeds more those who think that both games are connected, but it is clear that the Japanese company likes to play the mystery.
