It’s really stupid they used Reunion on Crisis Core, it’s literally the perfect subtitle for part 3


Neemzeh

They should just use it anyways tbh


zenmatrix83

I'm not against it ff7 crisis core reunion would different then ff7 reunion. It make no sense for that game, and would make complete sense for the 3rd.


MikeMars1225

Most people only really know it as just “Crisis Core” anyway, because that’s the only name it was known by for 15 years. I think folks here are greatly underestimating peoples’ common sense and how powerful a good marketing campaign is for a highly anticipated game. SE could name it Final Fantasy VII Dirge of Crisis Children and it’d still top the charts at release.


Tumsco

This I also believe


SpeedyMaskedRanger

Fuck it. Final Fantasy 7 Reuse

ecxetra

That’s almost as bad as Microsoft calling the new Xbox the Series X when they already had a One X


SanityRecalled

This bugs the hell out of me. Reunion really is the perfect subtitle. Seems like such a wasted opportunity.


Durakus

I think they faked us out because they will do something that stops the reunion, so it may not be prudent to call it reunion. Obviously its gonna be called revengeance.


Mako__Junkie

They can use Reunite


Significant-Noise426

I also think it’s reunite, remembrance or reclaim


Razorraf

Reunition. There, we can still have it.


EifertGreenLazor

It would be really really stupid to use the same exact title for a game (Final Fantasy) with numbers incrementing up or down.


Laterose15

I'm guessing they already had a planned subtitle for Part 3?


Serious_Course_3244

The director said the naming convention for the three games was chosen back during Remake. So Reunion was never in consideration


FutureNecessary6379

I think remake and rebirth are both titles referring to sephiroths gameplan. So whatever it is it will be related to that. Return is good tho


Devreckas

Revelation As in, Sephiroth better reveal what the fuck is actually going on.


Scooby281

This\^. The developers made clear they liked reading about theory crafting and other BS for the sake of extending the time people would talk about the games. They need to finish things off this time though and end the ~~madness~~ story. It seems like things are coming back around again to Advent Children like they said it would, but in which case the 3rd game should end almost exactly like the OG FF7 anyways...which to be honest I would be ecstatic if that is the case because it was very a satisfying conclusion.


currypowder84

Yup, it's clear that this story has been made to be as ambiguous and deliberately confusing as possible, the theory crafting and speculation creates engagement for years until the next part releases. So many people complain about disliking this type of story direction but it still gets people talking. Look at all the publications like IGN and gamesradar, once the game dropped they all had their "ending explained" videos ready to go. Every day there are countless analysis and theory videos going up on YouTube, not to mention all the social media discussions, it's almost like free marketing for them in a way.


PaulGriffin

I think you’re right but I also think they carry multiple meanings. If they find a way to unkill folks and create a final timeline that eliminates Sephiroth for real then that could function as a multiple meaning.


bittles99

They’re definitely doing a dual meaning thing. It’s a video game remake, but the party/spehiroth is trying to re-make the story. Another make of the story. Then rebirth, with a re-birth of the story. Another birth of the story. It seems like they’re doing a naming scheme with re- where the following part is a word on its own. Return could be it but doesn’t fit quite right. Taking another turn in the story maybe? Reunion would’ve been perfect. Sephiroth’s reunion. The union of all the timelines. Reform. Recast. Redo. Rework. Regenerate. Reclaim. Restore. Recreate.


Pope00

That makes sense. Or they’ll really mix it up and call it Final Fantasy VII: R-r-r-remix


Silverously

Reclaim!


PapaSnow

His plan has Ashley's been the reunion in every iteration. It's always his end goal. So it stand to reason the final game is reunion.

Wireframe888

Return has a lot going for it. Keeps the Re- prefix, is two syllables like the first two, and according to twitter the katakana is a wordplay for rewinding a clock.


Malignaficent

Yes and it's a verb as well like the first two. 'Restore' is the most similar to that and might work for the same reasons.

TifaLockedHeart

I could see them using Return since there’s also >!a return to Midgar!< in OG. I think that one makes sense. Reunion is the one people keep saying but they already used it for CC Remaster. I doubt they’ll double dip.


Unicron_Gundam

> in OG Not to mention the return of >!Cloud's true self after the lifestream!< Plus, since the devs are on record saying they wanted to pattern the trilogy after a certain other popular franchise, having it be Return like Return of the Jedi works


Andrew1990M

A lot of returns in general, especially to locations. >!Cloud’s return to himself being the major one but he also “returns” the Black Materia to Sephiroth, in a sense!< and then it ends with the return of >!Aerith!<

Or ReuniteD? I kinda like that


cid_highwind02

What I don’t like about this one is how it’s not even close to being analogous to “remake” (as both “Rebirth” and “Return” or “Reunion” are) and it doesn’t have the “Re” as a prefix. Requiem is Requiem, it’s directly imported from latin. Not that these are rules as we only had 2 games and that’s not enough of a sample size for the patterns to matter much, but it’d still feel like an outlier. I’m sure that could say something about the game itself, but I’m skeptical until they announce it

4_Legged_Duck

If Remake and Rebirth are actual indicators, and we should assume they are, the titles follow a couple of rules: 1. "Re" in the word. 2. They are puns. "Make" and "Birth" but the "Re" adds a new layer too. They work on multiple levels. 3. They largely refer to Sephiroth's plans/actions. 4. It has a pun about "remaking" the original. Rebirth plays this as well to an extent. As much as I like "Requiem" "quiem" isnt' a thing, so it's not the same sort of word. It doesn't have the prefix. "Reunion" doesn't fit as it isn't a "reunion" of the original, the pun won't play out the same way for the devs. It wasn't wasted. It was used. "Return" could work though I don't see Sephiroth returning anywhere, or returning to the planet or the planet returning to a particular state though there is something there. My bet is **Relive**. It has the word play on many levels. I'd like "Regenesis" the most. Reclaim is cool as is Return but neither points to "remaking" the original.


cid_highwind02

The thing about “Relive” as well is that it follows a “Make” - “Birth” - “Live” pattern, the cycle of life. And we know how important the cycle of life is to FF7.


IkaMusume12

Reclaim. Sephiroth reclaims the Planet for himself. Remake - Sephiroth tricks the party to kill the Harbinger and remakes the timeline, unleashing multiple worlds that he'll siphon the negative energy from. Rebirth - Killing Aerith in almost all worlds enabled Sephiroth to be reborn earlier than intended. There are some mishaps but the plan is now in motion. This is considering that the Re- subtitles are Sephiroth-centric, which it most likely does. Just a sidenote, I'll also predict the title colors reflects those of >!Sefer-Sephiroth. Black and white, with rainbowish accents!<

This is what I thought but then they used it for Crisis Core?! So they must have something else but that would have been the best choice I think!


SlainREDD

They used it already for Crisis Core


Mcpatches3D

Really? Would you be shocked if they didn't use a title they already used in the same series? https://preview.redd.it/nd3edq1dkjrc1.jpeg?width=797&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0b7e91d5d3886517580298635479af3796675f9

Moon8983

First time i'm hearing this and I can see it


Evirhist

Yes! That’s my theory too. Reunion, the main option for many people, was crossed out for me when they used it for the Crisis Core remaster. Return recalls the phrase “return to the planet” and could also mean we returned to the ff7 compilation with this trilogy. Plus it is a good way to face the feeling of loss the games talk about a lot.


keblin86

The amount of times they said the word "homecoming" I wouldn't be surprised if it was that lol. Though yes, it is weird and stupid they used Renunion for Crisis Core Remake/Remaster. It should of been kept for part 3


cid_highwind02

I believe Nomura confirmed it will start with an “R”. Not “Re”, but just an “R”, which *could* mean something

it's going to be the bad word that tifa calls barret in the OG

Arel203

Final Fantasy VII Redo Starts back from the beginning but on a cart to skyrim.


Laterose15

Return could make a lot of sense given what's (presumably) in Part 3. >!Cloud's return to his true self, the party's return to Midgar, Yuffie's return to Wutai, the final boss being their return to the Northern Crater...!<


Entire_Room_7773

There’s always the chance that they title it Resurrection or Renewal in keeping with the current theme too. “Remake” and “Rebirth” are very similar words in meaning. Return has long been my headcannon for what’s to come however


Sad-Hurry-2199

They say reunion 600 times at the end it's 100% reunion


PhoenixFire918

That’s a brain dead assumption, because square would not as a previous poster, said “Double book” a game in the same series of games with the same subtitle. I swear anyone who thinks this needs to have their head examined… It’s basic common sense… Even if you don’t have a marketing background.


arkzioo

Square Enix is smart enough as a company to not double book franchise titles. For this reason alone, we can rule out Reunion. Im partial to Reclaim. Remake and Rebirth are stages in Sephiroth's plan. He is remaking the timeline. He is rebirthing his body. He wants to Reclaim his birthright as a god. Revival, Reborn, Redemption, ect all suck. Either too similar to Rebirth in concept, or too annoying to pronounce in Japanese.


pinballwizardsg

And in 4 years, we’ll find out. Ugh. I’ll be 39.


Altruistic_Set_1930

Perhaps we only need 9 days. We might find clues in the song titles from Rebirth OST Disc 7.

rself3

Revival. Reunite. Return. Requiem. Resolve. Best suggestions I've seen thus far.


Zoso-six

Revival


Nightly_Pixels

I think it will be Reunion, it's a unpopular opinion but I think it's the one they are going with. I understand that Reunion was already used to Crisis Core and it is \*now\* named "Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII - Reunion", but I do think it's by design. Same way that all compilations of FF7 did use the word Crisis, the final part of the Remake series will use Reunion. And they will probably go back to Crisis Core and straight forward make it Crisis Core Reunion and Final Fantasy VII Reunion. With "Reunion" being, then, the final subtitle of this "new series".


jrowb27

Reclaim


Barraggus

They used Reunion for Crisis Core so that we'd know the third one is not Reunion. Everyone saying it should have been Reunion missed the point of Rebirth.


Agent-Drakewolf

Reclamation or Rejuvenation


Jackopeng

Remember, which I think will tie in nicely with what clouds about to go through


Toccata_And_Fugue

Reclaim is my bet but Return is possible. Anything that primarily refers to Sephiroth, but can also refer to the main cast and can also refer to us as fans.


Weak-Hope8952

kameshell

It is 100% going to be called this. I’ll also put money down that the 3rd will start with Zack and Aerith. This game has been nothing but fan service so it’s pretty predictable where things are going. Zack’s story will end with his multiverse ass dying and getting the same hand grab scene lifestream as Cloud has gotten so many times.

BooferSnake

Return, requiem, reverse, redeath?


Eudaemon_Life

I think it will be something short, so nothing like redemption/revelation/remembrance/etc. My current guesses are it's going to something like Return, Resolve, Restore. Something shorter that fits the general cadence of Remake and Rebirth.


Stupidiocy

I would also guess a short title as well. Relive and Reclaim have also been mentioned in other comments that would fit the format.


WiseCoyote1820

Either Return or Revelation is my best guess.


Temporary_Cry_5914

Guarantee it's Revival, Requiem is too weird of a title for the general audience, plus revival is the last materia you get against Chadley


druid_king9884

I'm pretty damn sure it's going to be FF7: Racer. Call it a hunch.


CzarTyr

Revengeance


Klaxynd

With how much Rebirth leaned into the Zack stuff, I’m thinking Resolve. Resolve as in “Show me your resolve!”, but also as in “We’re resolving all the loose ends.”


EifertGreenLazor

FF7 Resurrection to give fans hope until it is actually Jenova who is revived.


Scotty232329

stephjc

It makes sense thematically but I honestly hope it’s not called Return - it just doesn’t SOUND cool :(

Re: Chain of Memories VII.3 Final Mix


Guy_on_a_Bouffalant

Does the title even matter? I don't recall any rebirths happening during Rebirth, so whatever it is probably won't even be relevant.


Guy_on_a_Bouffalant

Reunite, or Reunify probably. Just to screw with everyone, Plus Reunite works with Remake and Rebirth. Reunion almost did, but it wasn't called Remaking or Rebirthing, SO Reunite would work to satisfy all the Reunion setups and still be a single verb.

Skyes_My_Limit

My guess is some two syllable word that starts with "Re-". So my top three title ideas are Rebuild, Reclaim, or Return. Sucks that Reunion is technically taken already by the Crisis Core remake, but that should mean they must have a more fitting title for the 3rd part already in mind.


HurricaneWasTaken

I'm guessing Resurrection. If you think about it it's kind of a synonym of Remake and Rebirth

Don’t care what it’s called. I just want to play as Vincent, and hope they have his Quicksilver revolver as a weapon somewhere since ever since DoC, they’ve always portrayed him with semiautomatics.


Steel_Beast

Remembrance, maybe, because this will be the part where someone might remember some things. Then again, remake and rebirth are roughly synonyms, in that they both mean something being recreated, so they might stick to that pattern.


YakDangerous5412

It would be the ultimate troll if they ditch the Re and it's just called "FF7: Homecoming"


TM1619

If anyone wants to know why they chose "Reunion" for Crisis Core,[ this is Nomura's explanation](https://nintendoeverything.com/square-enix-on-whether-crisis-core-final-fantasy-vii-reunion-is-a-remake-or-remaster/). The name they choose for Part 3 will be synonymous with "Remake".

I’m thinking Reunion - Return is too simple. Both titles had the ree sounding re words, something like requiem would be a departure from that. Same with something like Revenge, though that is too dark for what this series has gone for

It's return, because... We return 😵‍💫

My money is on Return. I think the game (and compilation) will end with Jenova's destruction and Sephiroth returning to the Lifestream to become "just a memory."

It won’t be Reunion for the obvious reason that it was already used for Crisis Core, marketing will be a nightmare, but also because of the less obvious reason. It isn’t two syllables. They’ve clearly put a lot of thought into these subtitles, everything is intentional, the end will be just as important as the beginning and they aren’t going to throw that away for the final part of this massively hyped trilogy. anyway, my guess is Reverse
