The promotional image for FFVII Rebirth tweeted out by the official Kingdom Hearts Twitter page is easily understandable to anyone who played 2 prequel games as well as 3 different mobile games, sources confirmed.
“It’s a shame when people don’t fully immerse themselves in the worlds we create,” Tetsuya Nomura said after reading comments from many so-called Kingdom Hearts fans. “When they ask me why Sora is on this city street and why Sephiroth is on those screens, it’s clear they haven’t played Final Fantasy VI.5 or Kingdom Hearts Union XY/7 1.5 Awakening.”
According to experts in the field, Nomura and his team have become infamous for crafting these long drawn out epic stories that tell the tales of a myriad of unique characters who all have spiky hair and vague origins. It may seem like a lot to expect from casual fans but Nomura insists this promotional image will really blow the minds of dedicated players who take the time to complete every entry in the saga.
“Some people have argued what the 104 on the building says. This just makes me laugh, it’s so obvious!” said Janet Gundelson, Square Enix’s VP of Lore. “It’s obviously a reference to Xehanort’s scheme he hatched with Sephiroth’s help where they split each other’s souls simultaneously into 25 versions each in order to go back in time and try to ‘nort’ Tifa as well as Aqua and have them create an additional 25 alternate splits from their own souls, thus making 104 total variants of themselves. Have these people not played Kingdom Hearts 2.7 Chains Over Midgar’s Dreams/Re:birth X12?”
When asked for any updates on the release of Kingdom Hearts IV, Nomura was heard shouting “It’s over!” before pulling out a buster sword and chasing away reporters.
