I hope they can at last meet again and talk

They’ll be reunited in the life stream. We never saw a scene with the two of them interacting (since Aerith was asleep), and I think that that’s a big clue.

Coincidence? ...Yes! I wonder if the "character development" section of part 3 will finally put an end to all internet gossip from the original

So Aerith is a cat in a box of poison. She's alive and dead depending if we look in that box...I made this more complicated I'm sorry

I actually would love a twist where Cloud dies and Zack comes back in the crater scenario OP mentioned. And everybody is like WTF!!!!! Even if eventually Cloud would surface in Mideel.

To me it doesn’t make sense to lay out all this groundwork with Zack being alive and jumping around between timelines only to turn around in the end and end at the same spot If this were a faithful remake then I’d say Aerith has to die again, but that’s not what this is. They wrote their story into this corner and now there has to be a payoff. Aeriths’ earned her life imo.

A synergized limit break with all party members!? That would be wild

This video is only 10 seconds long. I'm serious. There's nothing else to see...

418 subs, 2 more til 420, 32 more til 450, 62 more til 480, & 92 more til 500.

The premise is wrong. The debate has nothing to do with Cloud. Rather, who is the best waifu. Nobody cares about Cloud or Zack.

That Meteor detail is actually an amazing catch. Meteor has been shown with visions in remake/rebirth… but it hasn’t been summoned yet (though Aerith and Cloud both knew about meteor at this timing in og FF7, Cloud shouldn’t know about what the black materia does in rebirth)

Not knowing little about Jenova is the point. She’s too alien and enigmatic for us to comprehend. It’s similar to lovecraftian entities in the Cthulhu mythos or IT from the Dark Tower mythos. If you try to give Jenova more personality and character development you actually undermine what makes her character work.

Part of Janova is apparently the shadow queen in that card game side quests she a bit of a ham villain.

You are missing the point. Alien is precisely that which is unknown. The inability to understand her IS her character. And let's not forget this is not the 1st time Square gives us a shape shifting alien as the final boss whose characteristics are so beyond human that we can't even comprehend its behavior. That being said, Lavos was a much better execution of the concept compared to Jenova just like time travel/timelines were also better executed in Chrono Trigger compared to FF7R trilogy.

'you and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals so let's do it like they do on the discovery channel' lol

I think that not knowing too much about Jenova is the best part of her. Makes her EXTREMELY creepy & scary. The first thing that comes to my mind when you mention Jenova is the first time we see her in Shinra HQ in the OG. The pink lump of humanoid Resident Evil meat that scarred me when I was kid. Jenova doesn't need to be a "character." She needs to be a presence. She's a force. Many stories have & need things like that. Not everything needs to be a character. Jenova exists to compliment Sephiroth & Cloud's characters, alongside many others, and to represent fear of unknown in FFVII.

Jenova has always been this mysterious presence lurking everywhere. What terrifies me more about it, is the range and spread she has over so many things (we can thank a lot of it to Hojo for making that possible). For me there's really no need to expand her character with a backstory of something of the sort, unless there is to be a conflict between Sephiroth and Jenova or if Sephiroth were to die in part 3. He is indeed a terrifying man but without access to the abilities and capabilities of Jenova, Sephiroth is not pulling off half the stuff he does in the games.

A dlc for my boy and best girl? Hell yeah! Don't know how feasible this can be at this time, but I'm all in

I don't like Sephiroth character in remake & rebirth... they make him so naive and silly in the original game, Sephiroth was mysterious & dangerous & scary. please reply

Personally I would like to know how JENOVA came to be, in the "maybe" upcoming Aerith & Zack DLC after remake part 3. Where did it come from and how it was created... But that's just me, who is curious and wants to know more lore from this story. A good one of course.

Tbh, I don't see the point of the multiple timelines idea in the remake if they weren't going to make a major change to the end. Without a major change to the ending of the original FF7 game, the multiple timeline plot would just seem like a needless and ultimately pointless addition, a convoluted plot with no purpose or payoff. My guess? Aerith and/or Zack will be present in the end with the last remaining timeline.

I feel this is Omni-Artith creating a false reality for Cloud to help him cope with his failure to save her. I think eventually that will go away in part 3, and send him into even more insanity, leading to the eventual life stream sequence

This remake series really rewards you for being a fan. The more familiar you are with the lore and world of FF7, the more you get out of it. The pinnacle of fan service. I was worried when Remake was announced that it would just be the same story and there were no surprise, but the story they crafted plays on the fact that long time fans know the story. It’s something new and old fans can experience together. Truly a magical gaming experience.

Remake/Rebirth made me feel like a kid again. Enough said.

I loved Remake. Rebirth, however…. Uggghhh. The replay-ability and the character changes and the balancing and the ending kinda ruin it for me. Barrett was so so so good in Remake… his portrayal is not the greatest in Rebirth, and not because of character development.. same with a lot of the other characters and events… I could go on for hours with specifics, don’t get me started…

What I don't like was how wedge survived remake only to have a throw Away death in rebirth making it pointless. And the mini games have problems too.

This game gave me the definitive version of Aerith's theme.. cry every time I hear it. So many layers in it

I think the reason is that they want to keep us guessing because everyone knows the original story, and they want to have creative freedom to "change the story". Suffice it to say I take these two games are different timelines of the same story, and an indirect sequel to FF7 because of Sepiroth meddling changing the original's timeline to...his liking thus creating a new scenes. But I must say the amount of mind meddling could make anyone crazy and get to mental asylum from mako poisoning like a cloud after this messed up storytelling conundrum. This is literally a mental health problem simulator and I honestly like it in that way.

/spoilery comment/ People should be content. Aerith surviving in another dimension is perfect! It's Final Fantasy after all not Perfect Horror. Especially after the trials and all the deaths. Damn even sadder now with the Ever Crisis with /more spoilery/ the Rosen scene however there might be a twist or an ask I need to get passed that extremely difficult boss first!

Here is the thing. As far as characters, its hit or miss. There are some characters that are done very well, such as Barret(though there is a major issue attached to him, but that is more for the narrative section, since it was a narrative decision which completely undermines Barret's character developement.). However, there are some characters that are literally not the same character as the original, such as Aerith (you can try to argue against that, but the fact that she has knowledge of the future means she is objectively not the same character.). Additionally, adding more is not always better. IE, Bigs and Wedge do get more screen time, but ultimately it doesn't actually add anything of real substance to their characters. Gameplay is different. Its not really better or worse. The ATB based mechanics are completely fine mechanics, are completely fine mechanics with strengths and weaknesses, just like the action ATB hybrid they made. There are some aspects to the Hybrid system that I don't like, but ultimately its nor "dishonoring" the original, or anything like that. Graphics are obviously an improvement. I'm not going to pretend like it isn't. There is a 20+ year difference between the games. The technology may have improved a little bit.... Music is a hard one. Just as is, the music in both are great. Uematsu is still the GOAT as far as video game music, and the music in FFVII is all originally written by him, and at most you had people giving tweaks to his original compositions. The issue isn't in the music itself, but in how its used. In the original game, the music was just as big a part of the set pieces as any of the visuals or even characters. The music made the scenes. In the new games, they make a lot of the music is diegetic. The problem with this is, instead of designing the music to build the scene, they have to have it make sense in the setting, which sometimes screws with the scene. IE, regardless of what is happening around you, if you go to the kid's hideout, you are going to get that bouncy upbeat Gold Saucer theme. Narrative. This is where these games absolutely fall apart. Also where the whole "the devs care, and it shows" aspect I strongly disagree with. The story of these games is literally that they are trying to not have to follow the story of the original game. They included stupid multiverse, timeline nonsense into the story. The odds of doing that well is incredibly slim, and they didn't pull it off. All they succeeded in doing is removing any sort of tension and consequences (why does it matter if someone dies? In another timeline they are fine. Why does it matter if you lose? In another timeline you won. ETC). Furthermore, when you actually compare the set pieces together, its like night and day. Just as one example, lets look at Jenova's escape from Shinra HQ. In the original game, we get hints at who Sephiroth is. A mention here, and there, all hinting at some very significant figure. We then see this horrific creature held in Shinra HQ. After desperately fighting through, we end up getting caught by the specialists, the best of the best. Defeated, we are dragged into cells, with very little hope, we rest, hoping to be able to figure a way out of the mess. We then awaken to a mystery. The door is unlocked, and the guard is dead. We then carefully make our way along to find the Jenova container has been ripped open, the creature is missing, and everyone has been slaughtered, as we follow a trail of blood and corpses. It took everything we had to fight our way through this building, and we still ended up failing, yet this thing just butchered its way through, up to and including killing the untouchable president. As we take in the sight, we realize that we are seeing the remnants of a terrifying shade. The phantom that is Sephiroth. Lets compare that to Remake's version. Sephiroth has literally been appearing and hanging around Cloud since the beginning, popping in to say high, then disappearing again, so not exactly a mysterious build up. We fight through Shinra HQ, and really don't have anything to worry about. All of their best (the Turks, and SOLDIER.), are all things we have already handled in the past, so its not really a big deal to handle them again. We aren't captured at all. Cloud just has a migraine and passes out for a minute, so we take a break in Aerith's old room, and just leave when we choose to without anything, or anyone stopping us. Skipping over the completely pointless and rather long arbitrary dungeon, we end up finding Jenova breaking lose. However this time its a trail of purple goo, and nothing else. This then leads up to finding Sephiroth physically in the President's office (not that him appearing is a surprise by this point. Its kind of just like a "really? Again?" sort of moment.), where we watch him kill president Shinra, then we fight Jenova, leaving no mystery, no build up, no excitement for what may be. Ultimately, the worst part about these games for me, is the fact that we will never get an actual remake of Final Fantasy 7 because these exist. I just wish they didn't try to play off people's nostalgia, claiming that this was a remake project, and marketed it for what it is, which is a sequel. Not only could they have made these games that they clearly wanted to make, but they ALSO could have made an actual remake on top of that. The problem is the devs don't actually care about doing a remake. They care about doing something new and different, but they still want to get all the old crowds that doing a "remake" would draw in.

Why are you doing videos in English rather than in your native language. That's really weird.

Lose the voice dude

I had so much fun with Rebirth. It has better combat than part 1. I also understand why hardcore fans don’t like the direction of the story goes or just want it to be turn-based mechanic. Part 3 Finale really need to explain well about the multi-universe.

When you said, "Its like 50 games all crammed in one...", I suddenly realized how much I miss playing Queen's Blood. 🤣

The games are great for the most part, but Rebirth has quite a bit of flaws such as way too many minigames and the “main trophy” besides the platinum is the golden trophy that heavily relies on these minigames. Theh should have made that trophy a much harder version of Hoarders of the Outer Worlds. In Remake, Top Secrets was a gold trophy and you had to work hard to get there. Usually side bosses that have their own trophy are super hard in all FF games, but Gilgamesh was an absolute joke and super easy to beat in my first try.

God no... What happened to Yuffie!!!!

When Remake came out, I couldn't believe that it was real for the first 5hours. And funny enough, same thing happened with Rebirth. Especially when you get to the grasslands to roam around. This to say, the devs did the impossible. They not only met my expectations (that were so high, despite my best efforts to suppress them) but they surpassed them. Not only once BUT TWICE! So for me the new games have, no doubt, lived up to the Original. So I'm not that worried about how part 3 is handled.

I agree with about 87.4% of what you reflected on and said in this video. We can argue about the rest... and theorize about "kingdom come" for the finale of this game series.

Do you agree with what I said in the video? If yes, tell me why down below. If not, tell me anyway. And while you're at it, don't forget to subscribe! I would really appreciate it Take care

Only an insane would pick Aerith instead of Tifa.

She is dead, but her lifestream presence is still in contact with Cloud, and just noticeable for Nanaki. Whether he really sees her or can talk to her I don’t know for sure. This might also be a representation of her presence. At the same time it is clear to me that the reality of the loss of Aerith hasn't really sank in yet. What might play a part is that Cloud seems to dissociate a lot: emotionally, repressed memories and maybe here the full extent of reality. Appart from being traumatised by watching his mom burn to death, there are more reasons to that, but that will play out in part three. Sephiroth tries to play with that and by controlling Cloud, tries to make him insecure about himself and his emotional identity, but in all his introverted repression, Cloud clearly shows emotions like sorrow, being elated, care for others: the way he clenched his fists in remake at Jessie's side, the way he bottles it up as he seems unable to save anyone. People talk a lot about the losses Barret and Tifa endured, but Cloud was there right along with her. I really appreciate how the writers portray this more covert traumatic response that plays hide and seek with the one living through it. They make the viewer live through it alongside Cloud as a broken narrator. Dissociation can be very alienating like this to the point where you start to question yourself, importance, meaning and reality of things that happened. Yes the end is confusing, like it should be.

Tifa and those cannons. You know what I'm talking about boys.

Wesker: 7 Minutes Sephiroth: 7 Seconds

It makes absolutely ZERO sense for Aerith to die. We see in Remake and throughout Rebirth that Aerith, Sephiroth, and even Cloud knows of the OG events. This is evidenced by Aerith giving Marlene knowledge of her death in Remake that was later confirmed in Rebirth. She also gave Red XIII knowledge of the whispers. We know Cloud has knowledge of the OG as he regularly sees glimpses of Aerith's fate in the OG, and in Remake he had an exchange with Sephiroth early in the game in which Cloud says "You're not real. You're dead. I killed you with my..." To which Sephiroth replies "Oh, you need not remind me." Not to mention the numerous other times Sephiroth has alluded to the OG events. Yet the very reason Sephiroth failed in the OG game is BECAUSE he killed Aerith. If Aerith wasn't within the lifestream, then Meteor wouldn't have been able to be stopped as Holy activated too late. So you're telling me that Sephiroth is so inept that he knows how and why he failed in the past, yet he is repeating the same mistakes twice? You're telling me that Cloud not only knew about prior events, but actively saw visions of them and he didn't put the pieces together and try to change something? You're telling me that Aerith knew how she died back in the OG and she didn't tell anybody in the party, or take steps to achieve a better outcome for herself? With everything they've changed from the OG, Sephiroth killing Aerith creates massive, unresolvable plot holes.

Well, I’m playing remake. I love Tifa. And I hope Cloud and Tifa are declared canon. But I fell for Aerith more. Dunno. There is something about her. The player falls in love with her somehow.

You know I’ve killed her. So who is she?

vote "yes" on fusion sword.

Chill the fuck out. This is just Aerith from the Lifestream conversing with Cloud's already detoriating mind.
