8 Next-Level Video Game Plot Twists That Changed EVERYTHING

5. EVERYTHING About The Ending - Final Fantasy VII Remake

Only from the mind of Tetsuya Nomura could we get a Final Fantasy VII Remake that's actually secretly more like a Kingdom Hearts add-on.

Case in point: The Whispers.

Seen throughout the game as hooded ghostly figures, the close of the story reveals these things to be the actual manifestation of all expectation surrounding what a Final Fantasy VII remake "should" be. It's literally Square Enix writing fan assumptions and collective will into the game, and once the party start getting flashes of a potential future, they must fight the very idea of a remake; of time repeating, to forge something new.

To some it's genius and to others the same level of Kingdom Hearts insanity that drove them away from that IP as well. Going forward one thing is for certain: NOBODY knows what happens next.
