With so many changes coming to the game's story, establishing what Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 plot changes probably won't happen can be a reassuring process for veterans worried that their favorite elements might not return. FF7 Remake made sweeping changes to the original game's Midgar plot, first with subtle additions and more character development and then with a massive cliffhanger that threatens to legitimately upheave the entire rest of the narrative.
While FF7 Remake preserved a lot of what made the original game special, its changes were equally compelling in places, especially to its cast. Characters like Jessie, Biggs, and Wedge all had more chances to shine and were quickly established as loveable companions. Even main characters like Aerith saw opportunities to establish their personality traits more, and the confident, brazen Aerith of FF7 Remake is arguably her best representation yet. Not everyone may have agreed with the many FF7 Remake plot changes and developments, but they were, at the very least, handled with care and contributed to an excellent JRPG experience.
Change is scary, though, and even if it's handled well, players who are familiar with the Final Fantasy 7 universe want to know what FF7 Remake Part 2 plot changes won't happen. The reintroduction of Zack Fair as a potential character, Sephiroth as a multiple-timeline threat, and the possibility that there are Final Fantasy 7 alternate universes splitting off from each other makes for a lot of uncertainty. Here's a few FF7 Remake Part 2 plot changes that likely won't happen, for those looking for a little bit of stability in the whirlwind of possibility that surrounds the next instalment.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 Story Beats That Will Likely Remain
Perhaps the most reassuring Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 plot change that probably won't happen comes from an unlikely source in Sephiroth. He's been the main antagonist of the original Final Fantasy 7 and FF7 Remake, and factored into Advent Children eventually, too. He's so tied to Cloud as his foil that it would be foolish to abandon his role as main villain, so expect Sephiroth to continue to be the driving force behind the decisions the party makes in FF7 Remake Part 2, even if the problems he's creating are different.
Likewise, Vincent Valentine probably isn't going anywhere, despite being an optional character in the original game. He's been too much of a fixture of FF7 spin-off content thanks to Dirge of Cerberus, and he's a fan-favorite, even if his role wasn't prominent in the original. How players meet him may change, but the story of Vincent Valentine, Lucrecia, and Hojo should still be present.
Finally, it seems like a safe bet that the Gold Saucer will return in a big way. FF7 Remake had a brief Cait Sith cameo, a character tied to the casino, and it's a popular feature from the original - so popular, in fact, that it was reconstructed in Final Fantasy 14, where it plays host to a variety of events including Triple Triad. There's no way Square Enix would completely skip out on such an iconic location, so expect Gold Saucer to return - and, if FF7 Remake's date nights are any indication, expect more one-on-ones with Cloud and other characters, too.
