A Final Fantasy 7 fan took to social media to share how some pivotal scenes within the original game's opening act were recreated in Final Fantasy 7 Remake. The Final Fantasy 7 player shared several screenshots of the original PS1 title and the 2020 remake, and the comparison primarily focused on Cloud and Avalanche's mission to blow up the Sector 5 Mako Reactor.

Compared to the original Final Fantasy 7, the stories of Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth focused on the first disc of the PS1 classic. In Final Fantasy 7 Remake, players saw how life in the slums of Midgar was handled, as the mega-corporation Shinra and the insurgent Avalanche traded blows in a long-running conflict. After Cloud and the party escaped Midgar, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth took fans on an open-world adventure that spanned from the town of Kalm to regions such as Costa del Sol, Cosmo Canyon, and the Forgotten Capital. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth went on to become one of the top-rated games of 2024.

With Square Enix focused on Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, one fan shared how much attention Square Enix paid during parts of Final Fantasy 7 Remake. On the r/FinalFantasy subreddit, a Redditor named Overall_Cod2206 posted a slideshow of screenshots from the original version of Final Fantasy 7 and from FF7 Remake which compared how certain scenes and battles were depicted in each. The montage was one part of a longer series, and Overall_Cod2206 said that they plan on continuing their comparisons in the future, with several days in between posts to prevent breaking the subreddit's rules. The presentation began with a flashback to Cloud and Tifa in Nibelheim, where Cloud promised Tifa that he would save her if she got into trouble. The post then showed the wind tunnel that connected Sectors 7 and 5 together, along with the Sector 5 Mako Reactor.

Among the major differences highlighted was President Shinra's appearance in the Sector 5 reactor. While he taunted Cloud and the party in person in the original game, Final Fantasy 7 Remake used a holographic projection of the company leader instead. The montage ends with a look at Cloud falling into the church in the Sector 5 slums, and how both Cloud and Aerith met for the first time in each game. Final Fantasy 7 fans complimented Overall_Cod2206 for their continued efforts.

Although Final Fantasy 7 Part 3 is in development, Square Enix will release Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PC in January. Only time will tell how long fans will have to wait for the Final Fantasy 7 Remake saga's next chapter.
