[TGA2023] Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Shows Off New Theme Song

Square Enix has shown off the new theme song for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the follow-up to Final Fantasy VII Remake.

Debuting at The Game Awards 2023, No Promises to Keep is the title track and sung by Loren Allred, who also previously performed Never Enough from the movie The Greatest Showman.

In-universe, the song is sung by Aerith, during a production of the play LOVELESS.

“As depicted in the song ‘Aerith’s Theme’, Aerith has had a bit of an ill-fated and ephemeral impression within me”, said composer Nobuo Uematsu.

“I understood from the beginning that the song is also related to Aerith, but the poignant melody from ‘Aerith’s Theme’ does not appear in this song. I wanted to depict the oppposite of this, the strength at her core, hidden within Aerith’s Heart”, he continues.

“As I listened to the recording over and over again once it was finished, Aerith, who until then was a resident of a fantasy world, now began to feel like a real human being in the flesh”, he explains. “Loren Allred’s vocals, sometimes ephemeral and other times passionate and powerful, surely give life to the existence of Aerith. It has been a while since I’ve written a ballad that feels uniquely my own, and I’m happy to have done so. Thank you Aerith”.

That’s not all they showed off for the game today, however: Square Enix also revealed the physical purchase bonus for the title: a special cup holder for carrying your drinks.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is set to launch on February 29^th, 2024, and even won an award at The Game Awards 2023 for Most Anticipated Title.
