Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Demo Easter Egg: Ruby Weapon Poster Discovered in Tifa’s Room

The caption on the poster invites players to ‘marvel at the Ruby Red sunset,’ which is a clever nod to the ruby red rocks depicted in the image. However, upon closer inspection, the highlighted portions of the red rocks form a shape similar to the iconic Ruby Weapon itself.

Ruby Weapon was one of the challenging ‘superbosses’ in the original Final Fantasy 7. Players would spend hours searching the sands surrounding the Gold Saucer to locate and fight this formidable boss. Some players were never able to encounter it at all.

In the original game, there was a theory that defeating Ultimate Weapon and engaging in a random battle in the Gold Saucer sands was necessary for Ruby Weapon to appear. This theory has been debated for decades, and it remains uncertain whether this specific sequence was required to trigger the boss battle.

If Ruby Weapon indeed makes an appearance in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, it would be an exciting addition for fans. Reaching this boss in the original game required either a Chocobo or the Highwind airship, so encountering Ruby Weapon in the remake sequel might lead players on a detour through the sandy areas surrounding the Gold Saucer.

The Presence of Emerald Weapon in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Demo

Another exciting discovery in the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo is the presence of a poster for Emerald Weapon. Located near the piano, this poster hints at the possibility of facing another challenging superboss from the original game.

In the original Final Fantasy 7, Emerald Weapon could only be fought at the bottom of the sea, on the ocean floor, using the submarine. This suggests that players might have to wait until the third installment of the remake to confront Emerald Weapon.

With the inclusion of both Ruby Weapon and Emerald Weapon Easter Eggs in the demo, it’s clear that the developers are paying homage to these iconic superbosses and teasing their potential appearance in the remake sequel.
