The upcoming release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth promises intriguing narrative shifts, particularly concerning Biggs, a returning member of Team Avalanche. Set to launch on February 29, this second installment in Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy continues the journey of Cloud and companions beyond Midgar, delving into the mysteries surrounding the Ancients and their link to the menacing Sephiroth.

Mirroring its predecessor, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Rebirth will revisit portions of the cherished original game, possibly reaching the pivotal journey to the Forgotten Capital from the classic’s second disc. While an ESRB rating hints at a faithful retelling of a significant Final Fantasy 7 storyline, Creative Director Tetsuya Nomura suggests potential alterations in sequence and character destinies within Rebirth.

One such altered fate belongs to Biggs, a vital figure in the Final Fantasy 7 universe and a steadfast member of Barret Wallace’s Avalanche team. Recently teased on the official Final Fantasy 7 Twitter account, Biggs resurfaces in Rebirth, driven by a quest for retribution against the corrupt Shinra Corporation, holding them accountable for his comrades’ deaths. In Remake, Biggs was believed to have perished defending the Sector 7 slums’ plate from Shinra, a moment pivotal in the original game.

However, Remake’s altered timeline reveals Biggs alive and recovering at the Leaf House orphanage in Midgar’s Sector 5 slums post the Sector 7 battle. Yet, the fate of his comrades, Wedge and Jesse, remains uncertain in this altered continuity where Avalanche is now a global entity.

In Rebirth, Biggs emerges as the sole survivor of his unit, hinting at potential tragedy for his friends, leaving their fates open-ended from the Sector 7 events. The narrative promises to explore Biggs’ quest for retribution and its intertwining impact with Cloud and company’s ongoing saga, teasing an enthralling storyline for Final Fantasy 7 fans.
