Glenn Created for FFVII Rebirth Before Ever Crisis Appearance

Aitai Kuji owner Audrey Lamsam picked up and has been sharing insight from the April 12, 2024 Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Ultimania guide, and the book noted that Glenn Lodbrok was created for FFVII Rebirth before his leading role in FFVII Ever Crisis. The latest volume also noted his connection to Sarruf.

Editor’s note: There will be some spoilers regarding Glenn and Rufus in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and FFVII Ever Crisis below.

Lamsam’s translation noted that Director Tetsuya Nomura said Glenn was created for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth first, and then ended up being one of the three main FFVII Ever Crisis The First Soldier characters. 

Those who played FFVII Rebirth may recall the flashback between Glenn and Rufus that occurred when the two first meet in the game. Lamsam noted that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Ultimania mentioned how the topic of discussion between the two there, Wutai, also comes up in the book. Both characters’ ties to the region are referenced too.

Finally, Lamsam shared the age of Glenn as of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is 38, which would mean that he was around 23 during the events of FFVII Ever Crisis.

Glenn has been a part of FFVII Ever Crisis since the game’s launch. He appears in The First Soldier storyline alongside Lucia, Matt, and the young version of Sephiroth. Those heading into the console game should take care, as the events of FFVII Rebirth include a spoiler for what happened to him. The mobile and PC spin-off hasn’t reached that part of his story yet.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and its demo are available on the PS5, with the exclusivity arrangement ending on May 29, 2024. FFVII Remake is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC, and FFVII Ever Crisis is available on the PC and mobile devices. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Ultimania is now available in Japan, and there’s no English release date yet.
