So I've just gotten what's possibly a shitton of spoilers for the FF7R
(No this is not a late April fools jokes tho it is second hand info so keep in mind it might not be accurate)
Since we have nothing for general spoilers I'll just spoiler tag everything I'm about to post because uh

It's

A lot

Very very

Different

Turns from the start of the game - it is all Sephiroth's plan. Unlike the canon FF7, which was all a series of unfortunate accidents, Sephiroth already knows what's going on in Midgar, he knows he can use Cloud to destroy the Earth and he trolls him about it, and he knows he's gonna kill Aerith, in fact her death is literally teased during Cloud's mako seizure episodes (that shows cutscenes from FF7 implying that Sephiroth knows what happened in the FF7 Remake.  Cloud sort of foresees her leaving to her death, and Sephiroth teases him and tells him that Cloud cannot protect her because he's already seen the events in the timeline where Cloud and co fail to save Aerith and FF7 Happens. Plus, the caped entities are from Classic FF7 and seem to be there to make sure nobody can change the course of FF7 history. The suitation that is hapapening is an alternate timeline or time loop.

the events of VII and AC have already happened in another timeline

the ghost things are Whispers of Fate that try to keep the characters in line with the original game

Biggs and Wedge live. Jessie still dies.

after the highway chase Cloud and co. fight the Whispers of Fate and beat them, making it so they're no longer bound by the original FFVII's storyline. During the battle the party is shown the clip of an old Nanaki with his cubs running towards a destroyed Midgar, Red XIII guesses it's a vision of the future that awaits them if they failSephiroth shows up after beating them. Fight is basically AC-tier.. Sephiroth gets a black wing mid-fight.

while this happens we flashback to Zack surviving his last stand in an alternate timeline
after beating Sephiroth he teleports Cloud to the "edge of creation" and asks for his help in "defying destiny... together". He refuses and fight similar to their final omnislash duel ensues
the party escapes Midgar. We continue Zack's scene with him walking to Midgar with a comatose Cloud holding on to him. Remake Aeris and
Alt! Zack sense each other

fade to black I guess

Keep in mind it could be fake since well

April fools was just recent but

Yeah if its true uh

Holy shit
