    It's not related to the theme of this video. Why did the devs put Cloud in a wheelchair in Aerith's room when we know, from Remake, that there is a guest room next door? I guess Cloud and Aerith must be in the same room. But why ?

    • @dreamphoenix
      @dreamphoenix День назад

      That's a great observation! My guesses fall along the pragmatic and not very interesting. i) Marlene has likely taken up residence in the other room. ii) Having both comatose patients in the same room makes them easier for one viewer (Zack) to observe. It's also possible that it's a subconscious sentimental thing. Both Aerith and Cloud are beloved to Zack, whom very likely sleeps on the floor; ever watchful and protective. :) Thank you for the observation, and for watching!

    Two things I'm still pondering. 1. The partial world map in the Shinra mansion basement on the table. It only has the east and west. Is the Northern continent an illusion, or did the Cetra hide it from cartographers at some point? It could be their alien UFO, for all I know. Any thoughts? 2. How Spira from FF10 ties in. I'm going to replay it and its spin-offs to hunt easter eggs. We know dreams became people in FF10, but there is some greater narrative here I'm not grasping, not just Shinra the character starting a mako company. Something happened to Spira the planet, and the single eye Yu Yevon symbol seems to be alluded to by similar eye symbols in Remake and Rebirth. Ya know, since FF8 Squall appeared in Kingdom Hearts with Cloud and company, I also wonder if we're in for a major crossover from both games. Nomura seems to be running Business Unit 1 and Square's classic titles, while Yoshi is running Business Unit 3 and its cash cow MMORPG FF14, which seriously changed the company. And with Nomura facing retirement age, his tenure might conclude with part 3, going out with a bang. Keep em coming.

    • @dreamphoenix
      @dreamphoenix 2 дня назад

      That is a perplexing oddity, that the map in the Shinra Mansion wouldn't include the Northern Continent. Modeoheim, Shinra's failed resort town featured in Crisis Core (where Zack and Angeal tragically face off) is on the Northern Continent. The Mansion is quite old; harkening from before the first Reactor was built. Perhaps the map is likewise quite old? The missing Northern Continent could also be due to grander reasons, as you consider. I resonate with the idea that Spira and Gaia have some sort of meaningful relationship. As Shinra was able to go from one to the other on a conventional chemical based rocket; the two are likely in the same solar system. Bugenhagen of FFVII shows the entire solar system during the eponymous revelation scene. Gaia appears to be 3rd rock from the sun, in a solar system with 9 planets... Perhaps Spira orbits in the position of Mars or Venus? The future of the FF franchise is something I'll talk about in videos to come, after the Deep Dives. I likewise see there being some unique occurrences to follow Journey's End (part 3). In part this is due to AI entirely changing the landscape of all technological production; and the geniuses at SE are very aware of this. Thank you for the thought provoking incites, as always! And thank you for watching 🙏

      @@dreamphoenix Yeah the map room suggests Shinra planned the first expedition there. And of course they brought Jenova back, but exploration planning stopped and technology planning began. Think. First reactor is after they get Jenova, not just from Shinra of FF10. They were feeding Jenova mako from the beginning? Finally, the mansion is abandoned...abruptly...in horror. Things are broken. Gonna study the crime scene more. Was hoping you had found a clue or two.

      @dreamphoenix 2 дня назад

      @@Drw-id-Kirin I've also been intrigued by the Shinra mansion mystery, and I hope there is something immense about why the lab was abandoned. I always believed that the Mansion proper was fully functional up until the Nibelheim incident, after which it was purposely kept in its abandoned state so Hojo could carry out his experiments in the secret basement. The lab at least was in operation until a couple months before FFVII (when Zack and Cloud escape). Absolutely great observation on the first NIbelheim reactor. It wasn't created for power, but rather for Jenova. Thank you!

      @Drw-id-Kirin День назад

      @@dreamphoenix Some inferences. 1. Gast allowed Shinra to believe Jenova was an ancient even though Ifalna corrected him. Hojo's confusion as to Jenova's identity motivated him to murder Gast, as per OG script where he calls Ifalna an ancient. 2. Ifalna said Jenova's virus turned her people into monsters. I noticed Doom's Maykr species also undergoes transfiguration when they don't get mako. Plus, you can verify their language has the same basic shapes of lines and circles which the Cetra runes have. Now get this. The Maykr...join a collective consciousness upon death in their rebirth cycle. So the picture I'm getting is that Shinra found Jenova in angel form, and then Hojo put her in a test tube with mako, which turned her into the present female form, leading them to cover her with the angel draping and horrifying Shinra enough to leave the mansion for good. Notice Hojo's human experiments at Nibelheim (and J-cells probably) produced the same transfiguration result. Finally, his monsters in Rebirth cause immediate transfiguration when they reach J-cell carriers. Same result, albeit a much more Lovecraftian method from The Invaders. Will keep digging.

    I also believe the Harbinger / Remake Whispers were somehow related to Jenova, and not Gaia's henchthings. Always thought provoking to really look at Destiny's Crossroads when Seph lead to the 'the Walls of Fate being breached', which is later lamented by him for having scattered his 'mother'.

    • @dreamphoenix
      @dreamphoenix 5 дней назад

      We resonate very much! Even Watashi Sephiroth fights an inner war. I don't believe he's 100% aligned with Jenova. And it's certainly possible the Harbinger was aligned with Gaia, but if so it then is extremely odd she would summon three aspects of Sephiroth to fight the heroes (amongst other oddities). As I've been putting forward for a few years now; likely the Harbinger once represented Gaia purely. Jenova corrupted that, until the Whispers/ Harbinger were a ruinous macabre shadow of their former selves (much like Robed Men, Sephiroth, anything Jenova infects).

    • @dreamphoenix
      @dreamphoenix 12 дней назад

      Thank you! I pray that with more tools in the belt, greater production value will allow more potent messages to leap through the ether :). Ever Crisis has presented a tale of two cities; the best of times and the worst of times. In the Midsummer's Night Dream event, we see evidence of Cloud learning from memories he didn't gain in that body, and romantic magic unfolding as a result. When Cloud is bathed in love in both Remake and Rebirth, he heals at a much faster rate relative to FFVII, and acts from a loving state we never saw in the original trilogy (amongst other benefits). As I will delve into in the A Cetra's Story event, the Greater Good and Personal Good can be in violent contradiction to each other, but they might not be; it depends who you trust. Caught in the middle of that emotional insanity is Cloud, who now has a one wing... When Cloud isn't bathed in love or is so conflicted he can't feel it, he is a Machiavellian executioner, as well as someone who seems cold to those closest to him. Rebirth's ending I originally related to "we lost, again". And yet, there's hope. Extremely dangerous hope that will leave no-one untouched in any universe, including ours. What would you do to save someone, (or something, for those seeking the most noble of goods), you love? Thank you for watching!

    "The inevitability of its doom..." Morus, the Greek god of DOOM causes *premonition dreams* of a fated death. Seph claimed credit "Just as you must accept yours." It has been pointed out that Biggs, Wedge, and Zack die *the same way* each time, just as Aerith's death seemed fated. Your observation finally resonated with me, pulling me directly to the core of the story. Prometheus gave mortals "blind HOPE" to overcome DOOM, Zack's entire theme. Vorvadoss said, "Thou goest to DOOM...Therefore go FEARLESSLY." The parallels are perfect. DOOM versus HOPE. And yet separately, you and I reached the same conclusion...and impossibly at the same time. But here we are together...at DOOM. So not fate or destiny or chance, but DOOM brought us all together.

    If there are other worlds then other universes exist. The question is whether Nomura will see them explore that avenue as well. If you believe in the multiverse theory, just like worlds in FF7, a new universe is created for each divergent making the cosmos infinitely expansive. Just as you look in a mirror with two sides and look to your right and to your left, there are infinite numbers of yourself each with a slightly different variation. Perhaps in one universe you are weak, another strong, another selfish, and on and on... Perhaps that one universe exists where you and other forces of benevolence were able to save everyone from an untimely death, but out of an infinite amount, which universe is it?

    The timing of your *blind spot* catch is amazing. Seph and Zack at the church steps: sleepwalkers often have their eyes open but are *unaware of things which should be in their field of view*, i.e. black robes. Seph previously appeared *with* black robes, and in that Corki church scene there were no black feathers: it was Jenova. But back to these blind spots...or "sleepyheadedness" as I've called it before. Because there is basically nothing in dream research, I coined a new term. When we recognize we're dreaming, which requires our memory, we become lucid. Thus, *subnebulation* (latin for "under cloud") is unawareness of dreaming due to having fragments of memory: enough to recognize familiar things in dreams, but not enough memories to recognize what doesn't match reality, which would lead us to waking. Our dream persona is thus limited in self-awareness and reasoning as a consequence. Cloud's "It must be the mako" demonstrates that limited reasoning when seeing Seph and the fake fire in Remake, because his memory knows what a mako hallucination is. It also explains how he "forgot" Zack without involving or blaming Jenova. So we've offered a definition for "with clouded eyes" with minimal assumptions. Subnebulation suggests the tendency to go along with the flow (fate) of a dream, even when we normally wouldn't, is caused by separation from (*the real you*) memory: i.e. Cloud listening to Jenovaroth and then attacking Tifa, obeying Seph to chase Aerith for the black materia, all while being unaware Seph is his enemy. Enjoy. Thanks for the great dig. Keep em coming. The plot onion is opening.

      ​@@dreamphoenix 137 represents the concept of (1) endless heaven, (3) upper worlds, and (7) lower sephiroths 137 is the 33rd prime number. The sum of 1+3+7 gives El-even. Without "El" ( El = il = l = L ), we have "even" which represents the 10 elites of Old Days who exterminated the ancient people and stole their knowledge of agricultural systems. The Ancient Ones (FF7) refer to the people of Tiamat, who Marduk exterminated and used their bodies to form "the planet". They were the ancestors of dracos and had the ability to shapeshift into humanoid giants or dragons with the powers of Nachash (Serpent = Sophites = Gnostic people). They still exist in rural places, disguised as human beings or "witches"... and apparently Seir the horite and warrior founded the church of Pre-hellenistic teachings. She shared her blood with some humans thru a ritual called "communion" (this is before Vatican and Roman empire existed), and these subjects would have prolonged life-spans of 300 years at least. 137 = 13/7 = 13th of July (7) = Date when Trump was almost "assassinated" (staged) in 2024 137 is also the 33rd prime number 33 refers to Genesis 33, where Jacob made an altar to El-Elah (Genesis 33:20; il-ilah in Pakistan) 33, known as 3-3 ( March / 3 = M / 3 = Mulan 03 Ost), is the twin flame message of Elah (mother of Elahim = Elohim). Elah = Strong H427 = aiia = 1991 (conversion to letters) 3/3/1991 is the birth date or return of the one who was murdered (sacrificed) = Jesus = The one who accused the vipers (Sephiroths) 2024 - 1991 = 33 (age when Jesus was murdered) 2024 is also the year 5994... and 2030 would be Jewish year 6000. The calendar of 1991 repeats again in 2030... 2030 agenda of the 10 elites (Sephiroths). The Voynich manuscript says that the real name of Jesus is Suh-hab (Suhab in Punjabi). It means "red-robbed" or "the one who has the needle". The definition of "Red-Robbed" refers to the deity who destroyed Edom (Isaiah 63) Original scriptures of Isaiah 63 claims that entity is YHWH or El-Elah Yahweh. Suhab means "cloud" in Pakistan Cloud (Suhab = Suh-hab = Iron maiden (pious almah) = pure soul = Jesus = the burden of universal creation Sephiroth is the opposite, which represents the tree of knowledge of the Serpent (death = venom) Your analysis says that Sephiroth (representing death & ten corrupted elites of Saturn) counts on Cloud (Jesus) remembers him (Sephiroth). These are the same situation with the anarchist Zionists who terrorize the world but expects that Jesus forgiven them. And Jesus (cloud) would say "I never knew you" at the end. The ten elites of Sephiroth want to work with Jesus thru sophisticated puzzles (occultism) but Jesus (cloud) rejected them (Sephiroth) at the edge of creation (final battle of FF7 remake - 1st part) And Jesus is "the sun of God" (descendant of "El-Elah" or of Allah) and child of man (mana = essence of eternal life). The ancient people (serpent people) were not allowed to turn into dragons in this world because it degenerates their mindset, so they stay in human form to remain reasonable among human population. Satan, known as Seth (son of Adam), has green eyes in his human form... and works with the survivor of those tribes. I believe he is one of the five grand cardinals of Vatican church. He is also Peter the rabbit. Rabbit is the programmer of beta mind control programming... Peter (Sat-An) is also the rock who interferes with Jesus' truth... 😇

    Oh I really enjoyed this vid! Never thought of Zack being in a "blindspot" before, but does make sense and even linking it to EC! Never thought of it that way. One thing though, you say soldiers get injected with S-Cells- is that 100% right? I know Genesis, Angeal & Seph had jenova cells since they were all experiments from birth- but isn't the soldier program just bathing them in mako? Because I thought the only exposure to Jenova cells Zack would have had was with Hojo after Niebelheim. Awesome vid! Looking forward to more!

    The fight between Zack and Sephiroth at the reactor wasn't to a standstill. The fight is embellished a bit in Reunion, (because having the fight end in two seconds would be boring for the player) but the fight still ends with Sephiroth almost literally swatting Zack aside like he's an annoying bug. He sends Zack flying out of the reactor, damaging him to the point where he doesn't even have the energy to stand up. Sephiroth meanwhile appears perfectly fine, shows no signs of even being tired, and then just...turns his back to Zack, and walks away, suggesting that he doesn't even feel the need to finish Zack off. It's pretty clear that from Sephiroth's perspective, Zack is nothing. Sephiroth seems to view him as utterly insignificant, someone who isn't worth acknowledging. Zack has strong feelings regarding his history with Sephiroth, but those feelings are pretty one sided.

    Aerith sharing her legacy with Cloud by giving him Holy 2x. In Traces of Two Past, she is surprised when Tifa asks her who she is going to pass Holy to. I don't have the text in front of me, but Aerith says something like, "I never thought there may come a time when I'm not the only Cetra." <-----> I'm not sure exactly here. All of Aerith's dialog throughout Remake and Rebirth is extremely important. And the scene in Remake where Aerith explains how her materia is special and that it doesn't do anything at all. Before Cloud experiences a future memory and then says, "Bet you just don't know how to use it." and Aerith response, "Could be. It was a gift from my mother." <-----> Then fast forward to the church in Rebirth, the dream date where they just embraced and Cloud declared is intention of making new memories with her -> Aerith gives Cloud Holy w/ future memories. Cloud says, "But your mother gave that to you." And Aerith says, "This isn't about me though. It's about saving the world---and you." <-----> In the next game, Cloud is going to be making new memories and this is also a clue as to how Zack will cure Cloud when Cloud is rebuilding himself in the Lifestream sequence. Cloud saved Aerith in chapter 14 and his empty hollow recorded it it, therefore she survived in a new world. Part 3 is going to be so much fun. Zack will cure Cloud during the LS sequence by "taking control" and saving himself and Cloud from Hojo. <----> And that will be the a new memory that cures Cloud and wakes him in Terrier world w/ Remake Aerith. "Will you be in the world that I'm trying to save?" <-----> Is meant to be Cloud asking that question on regards to Aerith. I think he will find a way. Endgame fight will be Cloud, Aerith, Sephiroth vs. Jenova fully restored from 2,000 years ago. It's going to one hell of legendary epic final fight.

    • @dreamphoenix

      Hooyah to that possibility! I also strongly believe (and will be discussing in a video to come) that the 'Cloud Remembers' sequence will be radically different in effect, though being similar in execution. Two Sephiroth's, Zack, Cloud, Hojo and Tifa are all in them, and they will be as self aware as everyone on the Dream Date/ Zack-lives worlds. And it's a hyperplane, as seen in the FFVII version; where a consciousness can manifest bodily in more than one location simultaneously, especially if they are transcendent... such as Sephiroth. (I don't know if they two aspects will cross swords, but I very much hope so.) I resonate with the idea that Full Form Jenova will be a late journey boss, and possibly also a secret boss. Thank you for the poetic theory and for watching!

Just like we know Vincent was in the Temple of the Ancients and very well may have had his own trial. You saw my idea for a Zack DLC, but you never know. Heck, there could actually be Cid content... who knows? They said there were no plans of DLC but it would be a very pleasant surprise if they did. BTW - I have written several fanfics, 3 which takes place in the Remake and Yuffie DLC game which are more like added material. One that gets the most attention is one called A New Future which takes places years after Dirge of Cerebus which features Marlene and Denzel. I actually did one for the First Soldier Mobile Game based on the rando characters in the trailer at the end called The Forgotten Ones. The one I'm working on right now is called A Young Woman and a Dream which is about Cloud's mother and how she met Cloud's father and it of course has Tifa's parents are in it.

    Hi hopper still loving your stuff! I especially loved the last part where you point out that the 3 black whispers respond to his bidding to get into the sanctuary. He and the party had to conquer the 3 white whispers serving as a holy "trinity" opposing the 7 black whispers. At that moment he is in command of an "unholy" trinity and able to enter the Holy of holies and kill Aerith. These are the same number of each color whisper inside his sleeping subconscious forest. FYI - this number and depiction is also a parallel to Crisis Core's portal of severance where the wings on the door have 3 strokes on the right and 7 on the left with on stroke crossing the middle to connect the two sides.....much like our boy Cloud.

    Seph's plan to use Meteor in OG came with the revelation that he would need a colossal amount of spiritual energy to do it, specifically saying he needs to find the Promised Land. In that scene, Jenova/Seph appears and claims that he has done so, as well as traveling the lifestream and absorbing the knowledge of the ancients, as well as those after the ancients were "extinct." I think this is Jenova, because this Seph doesn't flinch at being called a non-Ancient by Aerith. Ore Seph still believes he is an ancient. Stabbing Tseng did not result in a rainbow, and neither did stabbing Barret. These are Jenova wearing Seph's body on numbered clones, not Seph. The Ultimania clarifies that most of the Sephs in Remake's scenes are *not* Sephiroth. Aerith is still looking for the real Cloud. I think she means the part of him, either a fragment or his Omni, having his memories of his mom and Zack. There is some modus operandi about Jenova erasing memories of who's special to him. I have a logical guess about Beagle Aerith going to the capital the same way as OG. In Remake, we already knew the whispers stole enough of her Omni memories for her to comment about losing the path she had. In other words, the whispers reverted this fragment of Aerith to OG Aerith, making her follow the same fate as OG Aerith. Notice she would've followed the same fate without Holy unless Omni Aerith got Corki Aerith to pass the football. Where would Beagle Aerith have gone without Holy after the temple? Nowhere. She would've felt DOOMED, and in this psychic battlefield, that is what ends your world, what makes you Jenova's food. I can't believe I'm just now noticing this. Or MAYBE, it's just like you're saying: Seph planned to consume her doomed soul fragment himself. It would explain why he did nothing about Holy: the Beagle whispers already reverted Holy, because Beagle is a world having no Holy, but his whispers don't regulate Beagle to match the recurring OG dream. His whispers only banish people to other worlds, I guess? Excellent observations about the whispers working together against Cloud, him controlling Seph's whispers to go to Aerith, and the rainbow when Aerith got Holy. This has been a feast of entertainment and revelation. That rainbow seems related to Lucid awareness, where you know you're in a dream and can take control with just thought and willpower. Maybe since these are soul fragments and not the whole soul, they can't take as much control, just like how they can't think as clearly. Have you noticed that? Sometimes they seem sleepyheaded, not alert. "Doom awaiting at an altar." That's what I was thinking the entire time. Seph was outside shooting his mouth off, and I'm like, he's really going to die. It's a death flag. Villains give monologues right before the hero slays them. Seph is trapped in a recurring dream, one now full of Doom references, unaware of them, and now he's dropping his death flag. When Aerith survived, I concluded that Seph saved himself from Doomguy by unmurdering the protagonist...pure epic genius. Like, how do you play cat and mouse with Doomguy? By unbecoming a villain. On how Zack survived, it's always possible Zack's conclusion about the wind is a red herring, like anything else. But the scene shows a bullet being pushed by wind, a whisper, away from him. Terrier is shown in Remake prior to the battle with the Harbinger. The world already existed. So no, Cloud didn't save Zack. Maybe Terrier merging with Beagle is what caused Marlene and Biggs and Zack to cross over, memory intact. This is the only clear outcome of the Harbinger's defeat: Reunion of Terrier with Beagle. Because the whispers surrounded Shinra tower as the party fled Midgar, then expanded into the dome when Sephiroth appeared in front of them, it seems Jenova manipulated them with a plan in mind. My first guess is this prepared Terrier for Reunion, with the local soul fragments being like a beacon for their counterparts in Terrier, who notably are also in a dome. By concentrating so many doomed souls in one location, the Cetra mind prison was broken just a little. Notice Seph enjoys the whispers' screaming and calls it "Destiny is coming", and then a Reunion happens. Keep digging! We are on a roll again!

      ​@@dreamphoenix When you point out that Seph took no action about Holy in the Sleeping Forest...can we even prove the negative? We may as well ask why Corki Aerith pushed Cloud through a portal instead of letting him fight Seph right there. Or why didn't she flee with him? Or why Red didnt fly the chopper? "When you are trapped in a horror movie, you make terrible choices." -- a joke from an old commercial. See, this is an example of the "sleepyheadedness" I mentioned. It's hard to pinpoint, because it's so subtle that its indistinguishable from a forgetful Nomura.

      @@Drw-id-Kirin Some great questions and lines of reasoning, thank you! 🙏 George Lucas once responded to the question about why Stormtroopers have such poor aim: ~ "If they didn't shoot from the hip, and could actually hit something, Star Wars would have been a whole lot shorter. And the Empire wins." :)

    It hit me when I went through it but now it's really in my face. Seph's end game might not be meteor. If it was why'd consume it then would be my thinking. But meteor is such an important part of FFVII. If Seph ate meteor then are we deprived of meteor?

      I imagine that whether Cloud gives Sephiroth the Black Materia or not, meteor will be witnessed in journey's end. Consider that in a Zack-lives world, seen from the Sector 5 church, meteor is impending. It's just that with increasing unease, I'm not sure meteor is the end game; or simply a means of getting to the end game. Or even no more than a distraction. Thank you for watching!
