Many of Final Fantasy 7's most endearing characters went through numerous changes, and a few of them ended up seeing significant alterations. One of the most interesting abandoned concepts for a character related to Tifa, who was poised to be Sephiroth's sister during early stages of development.
Her name was seemingly derived from Tiferet, a rough translation from the Hebrew Tree of Life rooted in ancient Kabbalistic texts. A page from the Final Fantasy Ultimania Archive also shows that she was intended to be a sibling of Sephiroth, seemingly playing the role that Aerith ended up filling as an entity connected to ancient gods.
Aerith and Tifa swapped places in the story a few times, with each filling the role the other was intended for at some point. In the case of Aerith, a version of her was intended to be a lover of Sephiroth.
Aerith and Sephiroth have been permanently linked to each other in multiple ways over the years. Their complex relationship in Final Fantasy 7 could have been a lot messier had the original version of the story seen the light of day.
As hard as it is to believe, Cloud Strife was almost never brought to life. In Hironobu Sakaguchi's original vision of Final Fantasy 7, the lead character was a man known as Hot-Blooded Detective Joe.
He was in pursuit of AVALANCHE after their assault on the city of Midgar, with implications that the original version of the group was poised to be more antagonistic than the final game. The original version of FF7 is fascinating in a number of ways, and Detective Joe represents a major part of that.
As Sakaguchi's story started to evolve, writer Tetsuya Nomura envisioned a chase story with a moving target, an element that would be one of the lone holdouts from the earliest days of development. While Cloud Strife may be one of the industry's most beloved characters, it would have been pretty interesting to see what would have happened with Hot-Blooded Detective Joe.
Vincent Valentine is one of Final Fantasy 7's most popular hidden party members, but his original iteration went through more changes and revisions than perhaps any character in the game.
He started off as a horror writer, then became a research scientist, a detective and a chemist. These concepts slowly eroded until Square ended up ditching all of them, finalizing Vincent as a former member of the Turks.
In an odd twist of fate, the final version of Vincent featured some elements that were repurposed from a scrapped version of Sephiroth. It just goes to show you how efficient Square was, and still is, never letting a concept go to waste for too long.
