While absent from the first two installments of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series, the iconic Knights of the Round Summon is now under consideration for inclusion in the trilogy's highly anticipated third and final segment. A significant allure of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake lies in the reimagining of classic elements from the original 1997 game for contemporary gaming platforms, including the formidable Summons like Ifrit and Shiva. This trend continued in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, where players were introduced to a plethora of new Summons, such as Titan and Alexander, each boasting stunning redesigns in the blockbuster JRPG released earlier this year.
Notably absent, however, was the immensely popular Knights of the Round Summon, which was conspicuously absent from both FF7 Remake and FF7 Rebirth. Known for its near-unstoppable might, this group of armored warriors stands as the most potent Summon in the original Final Fantasy 7, capable of dealing devastating damage with its Ultimate End attack—a flurry of 13 mighty sword strikes that bypass the enemy's Magic Defense stat. In the original game, obtaining Knights of the Round involved a quest to Round Island, a secluded landmass situated in the far northeastern corner of the game world, accessible only by riding a rare Golden Chocobo.

Despite the absence of both the Golden Chocobo and Round Island in the first two Final Fantasy 7 Remake entries, indications from the recent Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Ultimania reference book suggest that Knights of the Round will make its triumphant return in the upcoming third installment. In a translated passage by Twitter user aitaikimochi, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi acknowledges the anticipation among fans for the updated version of Knights of the Round, noting that there are still four Summons from the original game yet to make an appearance in the new series.
Further insights from the translated passage reveal Hamaguchi's efforts to align each unlockable Summon in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth with its corresponding Summon Sanctuary location. For instance, the awe-inspiring Bahamut Arisen is discovered in Cosmo Canyon, while the legendary Odin awaits in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's ill-fated town of Nibelheim. This meticulous approach, likened by Hamaguchi to assembling a puzzle, aims to integrate each Summon seamlessly into the lore of its respective region.
Fans eagerly await the unveiling of how Knights of the Round fits into this intricate puzzle in the next Final Fantasy 7 Remake installment, with developers acknowledging the high anticipation for the formidable Summon's return. Given its renowned power, it's likely that Cloud and his companions will rely on Knights of the Round's might to confront Sephiroth once and for all and safeguard the planet in the climactic conclusion of the trilogy.
