One of the effects of this divergence could very well be two Sephiroths existing simultaneously, with one being the corporeal manifestation of Sephiroth and the other being the spiritual being manifested by Jenova - with one a potential hero and the other a villain. The final moments of the game give players a hint as just how different this new timeline will be.
They are defeated at the conclusion of Remake, which serves to "shatter fate".
The introduction of the Whispers acted as a metatextual plot device serving to "protect" the timeline of the original Final Fantasy 7. There is a very real possibility that this new FF7 timeline contains more than one Sephiroth. However, the title could have a figurative meaning that applies directly to Sephiroth and his connection to both Jenova and the Whispers that were introduced as part of Remake's narrative. Given the events that play out in the re-imagined storyline of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, one could be forgiven for assuming that the upcoming Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was a nod to the revelation that characters who were deceased in the original game (particularly, Zack Fair) are now living. RELATED Final Fantasy 7 Remake Should Push Beyond the City of the Ancients for a Heartbreaking Ending The Title of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Could Refer Directly to Sephiroth With the Final Fantasy 7 Remake split into 3 separate games that roughly equate to each of the original game's 3 discs, the backstory and development of Sephiroth have already departed significantly from the established story beats, and the developers should go all-in on further exploring Sephiroth in the Remake trilogy's upcoming pivotal second chapter. It's not until disc 2 that the party learns of the shared history between Cloud and Sephiroth and why he's considered to be one of the most powerful beings on the planet. In the original Final Fantasy 7, Sephiroth is first introduced toward the end of disc 1 during the party's invasion of Shinra Headquarters and is only spoken of in terms of his connection to Cloud.
One of the primary examples of this uncharted path for character development is found in the game's treatment of its antagonist, Sephiroth. Characters and events that were only briefly mentioned or given momentary spotlight in the original were expanded upon and given more depth, and the ending chapters of Final Fantasy 7 Remake established a willingness of the developers to abandon key story beats in order to take beloved characters in exciting and new directions that would surprise longtime fans. The Final Fantasy 7 Remake reinvented not only the gameplay of the 1997 original but also charted bold new territory for one of the most beloved narratives in the franchise.
