Cut dialogue lines from the ending of Rebirth (Shinra Archaeology Department)
Shinra Archaeology Department over on Twitter & Bluesky recently posted about Japanese dialogue lines that were cut from the final game and discovered in the files of the PC version of Rebirth.
The texts are verbatim and translations from SAD's posts.
The PC files for FFVII Rebirth, much like with Remake, have lines in the Japanese text not in the final version of the game. For example, here's some from the party when Cloud pushes through the whispers and raises his sword above Aerith.
A mention from Barret about alternate worlds. The lines highlighted in red are from what was previously written.
Cid and Vincent were going to come in to help during the Sephiroth Reborn fight.
Tifa has a line at the spring where she says Aerith's name.
Cid seems to see the rift at the end.
Interesting to see these lines and actions did not make it to the final version of the game and can give an indication of the story, whether they were intentionally removed for story reasons or otherwise.
