Kenny Omega, the former AEW World Champion, has been revealed as the host for the upcoming launch stream of Final Fantasy VII rebirth. The news was announced on X (formerly known as Twitter) and the stream is scheduled to air on February 28 at 1 p.m. Pacific time on Square Enix’s YouTube and Twitch channels. The stream will promote the second game of planned trilogy by Square Enix, which is a remake of the popular 1997 game. The stream will be hosted by Omega, alongside Naomi Kyle, a talent from IGN Entertainment.
Omega took to Twitter on Saturday afternoon, his excitement palpable as he shared the news with his followers. With a touch of anticipation he declared,
Very excited to announce that I’ll be hosting the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch stream! The One Winged Angel is coming.
Omega’s announcement reverberated throughout the digital realm, setting off a chain reaction of excitement among fans across the globe. As anticipation mounted, online discussions flourished, and speculation ran rampant about the myriad surprises awaiting in the rebirth of this iconic game. Amidst the fervor, aficionados of Final Fantasy recognized the significance of Omega’s choice of words, subtly nodding to the theme from Final Fantasy VII, which implies fallen angels.
Delving deeper into this reference unveils a clever connection: the mention of the One Winged Angel. In the Legends of Old Testament The story of Solomon, a one-winged demon named Abezethibou emerges, summoned by King Solomon himself.
Abezethibou’s solitary crimson wing symbolizes his descent from grace, marking his fall from heaven following his betrayal of God to serve the Prince of Hell . Thus, Omega’s choice of phrase encapsulates layers of symbolism, adding an extra dimension of intrigue to the upcoming launch stream.
