Unlike the Remake, Rebirth has been confirmed to feature blood, adding a new element to the game's violence and adult content. The original Final Fantasy VII on the PlayStation pushed boundaries with its adult themes, including the presence of blood. However, when the Remake was released, all blood was removed from the game. While the recent INTERmission expansion in Final Fantasy VII Intergrade included a small amount of blood, it was nowhere near the level seen in the original game.
The ESRB rating, which can be found in the advertisements for the recently announced Butterfinger promotion for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, has provided insight into what to expect. Alongside blood, the game will also contain alcohol, violence, bad language, and suggestive themes. Despite these elements, it has received a Teen rating, suggesting that the graphic violence will be limited. However, there will still be moments of bloodshed throughout the game.
Fans familiar with the storyline of Final Fantasy VII can anticipate that the blood may appear in significant scenes. The Gold Saucer section and the Nibelheim scene are likely candidates, as they involve intense, violent moments. Furthermore, a well-known scene from the original game might also receive a bloodier depiction in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
The decision to remove blood from the Final Fantasy VII Remake was likely made to maintain a lower rating. Although Final Fantasy VII Rebirth won't be a bloodbath, it will offer a more violent moment than anything seen in the Remake's main story. Fans can prepare for an enhanced and intense experience with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
