They really are gonna use the initial concept for the original FFVII that got repurposed for other games like Xenogears and FF9: “Spirit Energy otherwise known as the lifestream develops through a cycle of separation, union, and diffusion. This holds true at an individual biological level as well as the planetary and galactic levels. In other words, the universe is one giant ever-maturing body of spirit energy. As the universe's energy increases, it gives rise to smaller, separate units of spirit energy, similar to how humans give birth to children. These units are known as cosmic eggs. These cosmic eggs move into alternate dimensions and precipitate big bangs, creating a new universe, and give rise to galaxies, planets, organisms, and so on. This process of separation and union then repeats itself, resulting in further growth of the great expanse. - FINAL FANTASY VII Dismantled, 1997
Is Sephiroth trying to become the absolute God above all these realms, using Jenova? Could he even travel to Kingdom Hearts world? Damn, if this is extended so much, even travelling to other Final Fantasy universes might not be impossible for him
@mariogirl8100 Considering he can create physical manifestations of his will through Remnants as confirmed in Advent Children, I think I found out who Xehanort, and the Master of Masters truly is.
Sephiroth is so convincing man I would just join his side that’s how well this villain is written man I’m a new fan of this series and franchise I wish I was old enough to play the original but I was only a toddler but man I’m falling In love with final fantasy especially the 7 series
there another way just join sephiroth side and destory this world and recreated new one which is good and bringing all life back to live again instead current one which half or character had already died. just let meteor hit the planet so sephiroth can recreate new one lol :D
wtf does that even mean lol, there's nothing stopping you from playing the og. I wasn't even born when it came out but i still played it like 10 years ago.
Well he did say at one point that this Aerith has been hiding from him in this world, so it would stand to reason that this is the Aerith counterpart of this 'Multiverse Sephiroth' who seems to come from OG FF7
@@ovensmuggler5207 More like all he talks about is LOVELESS. If Genesis didn't talk about LOVELESS 90% of the time, he would be a more effective antagonist.
When people compare it to KH it’s a statement on the quality of writing not just the universe/time travel elements. It would be a compliment to be compared to the chrono series.
@@Kodiie yeah the fact that Alternate dimension Zack is pushed into a world where Zack is dead that is pretty much serge in a world where serge is dead. Sephiroth is pretty much playing the act of Lynx/Dark Serge. Lynx wanted a very similar thing to destroy both worlds and not only that he wanted to make it where the world's couldn't be crossed anymore. He knew serges was the key.now I don't think Zack is that complex lol.
To be clear: this is NOT an MCU-style multiverse. There's an easy-to-miss NPC in Cosmo Canyon that says (paraphrasing): the Lifestream/mako is made up of memories. But memories aren't just real events. We remember dreams, goals for the future, fictional stories etc. In the lifestream, these dreams/fantasies become pocket worlds where the dead reconcile/resist and relive their deaths. (That's why Zack and Biggs are constantly being gunned down by Shinra snipers.) Its very similar to FFX's Farplane In the OG, mako poisoning is described as trippy dreamlike/memory-infused coma. When we enter Cloud's subconscious to unlock his memories, we're in a dreamlike world; there's even a glowing crack in the sky. Nothing's changed, this same concept is being applied to the entire Lifestream and elaborated on. In the context of Rebirth, OG Cloud's subconsciousness was a temporary dream world, a safe haven to piece his memory together before fading away
I think they are in purgatory worlds this time. Everyone is in their own world made up of collective consciousness and memories. If they can’t work together or enter the lifestream they cannot figure out where they are and how to stop it? The only difference is Aerith likely has all her memories the whispers stripped away back intact. So she may know how to stop it this time. She may not be completely gone this time. At least not everywhere.
His goal since the OG is to control the Lifestream. That hasn't changed. What changed is that by breaching the boundaries of fate, he found a way to utilize the energy created by short lived worlds as they come and go. He can grow more powerful by absorbing this energy (he did this at the end of Remake, and also end of Rebirth) at the moment a world is destroyed.
@@zaqareemalcolmit makes me wonder if Sephiroth will have a new form for his final boss fight in part 3? Back then it was just one world he was absorbing but now it’s multiple worlds.
@@shiroutheherotraceon3313 in this case, it seems cloud's mind is mixed between two timelines happening at the same time by the end of Rebirth, so now he sees two worlds in one through the same lens.
Cloud and Seph floating around just seems like baiting. When are they going to hold hands, gingerly touch their sword tips, and retire to the beach of Costa Del Sol together, Barret in his sailor suit doing the YMCA Village People song?
@@R.-.Wyeah it sucks people keep blaming Nomura for the direction the remake project is going when he isn't involved with the writing i love the remake games btw
@@R.-.W With all due respect, Nomura is a LIAR dude. Nobody believes that. I mean come on, you don't think the guy would want to avoid heat? I'm not saying its not Kitase's fault as well, he approves everything, but if you mean to tell me Nomura has absolutely NOTHING to do with ANY of these plot elements despite being the CREATIVE DIRECTOR (you see his name before Kitase even shows up in the credits), you're insane. This is just a defense on Nomura out of desperation. He TOTALLY had a hand in this. Its got his DNA written all over it. Now whether you think he did a good job or not is one thing, but his execution of his "style" is VERY familiar to me and I can see it in spades with this game. Its pretty easy to spot
@@Haka-f3k-u Or alternatively, Cloud and company should just get Jotaro on board to deal with Sephiroth for them. Wouldn't be the first time he's defeated a ridiculously powerful inhuman threat with a god complex. 😂 Edit: and what makes this mental image even more hilarious is that Sephiroth's Japanese voice actor also played Kira in the Part 4 anime. So now I'm just imagining it sounding like that scene when Jotaro beat the ever living hell out of Kira after the latter hurt Koichi. 😂
I'm betting it now that the 3rd game will be about combining all the multiverse into 1 true timeline where sephiroth can come back whole and try to rule the world or somethin.
I'm more worried than excited. Everytime comics, movies, and video games dips into the multiverse pool it becomes dumber for it. Bayonetta 3 is a perfect example of how trash this concept can get.
@@jeremyzak654 Yh, like alternate versions of characters. Don't get me wrong, alternate versions of characters are cool, but when they overdue the concept, that's when it gets messy.
I'd really love some FF8 lovin. After watching Aerith die twice, then come back, then leave, then hang aroud as Clouds schizo girlfriend, I guess that wouldnt be too crazy.
If I remember right, Nomura had commented how some ideas that he couldn't implement in the og FF7 he used in FF8. So he, Kitase, or Nojima are probably using remake as an opportunity to add them.
I mean....we don't know what could have happened to Cloud when he went through the Mako back in the original. The idea of multiverses was too much for that Cloud. Iterations could have had different outcomes. The idea that mako energy is what combines the worlds in a multiverse makes sense. People are just upset that it looks like FF7 is just jumping on the bandwagon of multiverse stuff.
The scene where Aerith pushes Cloud and you see Sephiroth slowly entering the church is one of my favorite scenes in the game, holy shit. It said so much with so little; Sephiroth is an absolute menace in every timeline, and Aerith is tragic in every timeline. Unless the theories are true in that Cloud created a timeline where Aerith doesn't die when he hit Sephiroth's sword... Sephiroth killing Aerith is truly a canon event.
It might be a singular event that needs to happen in every timeline for Sephiroth to be defeated. So Sephiroth knew he has to create a reality where she lives to break the cycle. He used Cloud's (and the fan's) hope of saving her to achieve this. And in the end the Aerith that survived will have to sacrifice to restore the status quo. So in a meta way it's the writers telling the fans that they need to let go of the idea of saving Aerith, because her death is a vital part in the survival of the FFVII universe.
That reminds me of an episode of What If? where Doctor Strange tried changing the past to save his loved one but no matter what she kept dying one way or another. I think it was called Absolute Point in time. So Aeriths death could be inevitable.
@@jcceno4273 That didn't stop her from saving the planet in the end, did it? Without her, Meteor wouldn't have been destroyed and the Geostigma pandemic wouldn't have a cure.
This is peak mind control/brain addled Cloud, adding the psychedelic experience of "the universe is infinite and so are all of us" just adds to his fucked-up-ness. I think this is gonna add to the difficulty for him next game to accept who he is, embrace his emotions for his friends etc. Like, i could see him not caring about tifa/barret or anyone getting hurt or in danger, cause like, he's just gonna unite timelines to save aerith, so there's prob a timeline where they're not in danger or hurt anyway Aerith and Sephy are just S2 Loki at this point anyway, they're timeslipping between timelines to try and ensure the outcome they want.
I finally get it, OG FF7 wasnt even the original timeline, the original timeline was zack surviving and midgar destroyed by meteor, this is why clouds behavior was already so weird in OG, not really jenovas cells, we was already pushed around by whispers.
It is implied the Whispers are literally Destiny. You control them, you control the Way Reality Remembers itself. How it Lives, how it Dies, if it dies When it dies. Think of Living in somebody's Unconscious Mind. And JENOVA lives in that Mind with the Souls. As does Sephiroth. As does everyone touched by JENOVA. All of Us, All for Us.
I kind of agree because in OG even if Sephiroth failed planet is doomed anyway. In AC it shows Sephiroth can still come back. So I think the OG is the one where Zack lives, and Aerith still alive. That's why they keep saying you should save Aerith
Aerith is literally the strongest character in Final Fantasy. Imagine knowing your fate but you still use the time you have left to uplift other people.
I don't think the word "strongest" is fitting here cause normally you use that word for power levels and strength. Maybe the word brave or strong willed might be mor fitting for the message that you are trying to convey
@@SwobyJkilled completely crazy herself not in the top 15, she was courageous yes but they are not strong there are people who suffered destinies much crazier than all those that aerith knew go see FF 14 and you will see the difference between the tragic destiny of the MC of 14 and that of Aerith.
FF VII Remake seems to have some of the plot of FF XIII-2: timeline change. (FF VII Remake parece ter um pouco do enredo de FF XIII-2: mudança da linha do tempo.)
this reminded me of The Flash tv show where the whole show takes place in an alternate timeline and everything happens 6 years earlier than they were supposed to
@a.r.m.ymoaengene6250 yeah but we can have crisis core reunion and final fantasy 7 reunion. It would be a little confusing but people will just refer to crisis core as crisis core
I think if part 3 is the last I would say "Rejuvenation", "Resolution", or "Resurrection". If there is to be a part 4 then those would be for that and the next one would be something like "Retribution" or "Retaliation"
Time. Space. Reality. It's more than a linear path. It's a prism of endless possibility. Where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the ones you know. Each a reflection of what could have been. Some heroes will rise, others will fall. And nothing will be the same. I am the Watcher. I am your guide through these vast new realities. Follow me and dare to face the unknown, and ponder the question... What if?
To the people claiming "oh this is just Kingdom Hearts now", Final Fantasy has dabbled into alternate timelines as early as day one with the original Final Fantasy, and I'm not referring to Stranger of Paradise. Timelines were also a plot point in FFVIII. You even played as characters from the past
Playing as the same characters but from the past is NOT the same as straight-up universe hopping and having multiple parallel characters. Just hope they nail the concept and not get too convoluted, even the jp fanbase is screaming they have no idea what's going on/will happen.
@@jinnimoo You aren't playing as the same characters from the past. You play as Zack in certain sections in this game as just as you played as Laguna and his friends in their own story from the past. Also, FFVII's instigating antagonist Jenova is literally a planet-hopping space vampire
@kaihedgie1747 Been over a decade since I played ff8, yeh there are other characters from the past you play as, but ultimately it's not a multiverse/parallel world story. The issue with ff7 here for most people is that this oversaturated timeline concept was never part of the narrative to begin with, so long time fans are a bit trepid on where they're going with it, or why it needed to exist in the first place.
This isn't Kingdom Hearts anymore. It's Sonichu. Let me explain. The main characters are a dangerous, malicious psychopath with horrible fashion sense, a scary weird obsession with their mother, and who constantly bangs on about the merging of dimensions and worlds while identifying as their god, as well as a guy who looks exactly like an ostensibly more successful character but with yellow hair.
Sephiroth: Okay, you know that multiverse and alternative timeline stuff? Forget all of that. I tried it. Didn’t work; I couldn’t go anywhere. Next best thing? Disrupting the Lifestream’s multitude of memories to create forced changes and with those changes, they’ll destroy themselves. It’ll be my opportunity gathering them all in the Reunion to reach divine power.
i loved rebirth so much but i find it kinda strange how they said this game would be an "unknown journey" to the original story but rebirth seemed to be 90% identical to the original story of ff7 1997? did any of you guys find that strange
Nah, Kitase is still running the show as producer and was approaching Kevin Feige levels of "influencing" the plot (though he was the director of OG FF7 so he has way more of a right to do that than Feige). Hamaguchi and Nomura were advocating to make the time travel less complicated and, believe it or not, they succeeded-- this is just Back to the Future II with extra steps.
The Homunculus from Shadow of Destiny: Well, let's try an analogy. It may seem trivial, but suppose you're in a cafe, trying to decide between coffee and tea. The you that chooses coffee after a long deliberation, and the you that chooses tea actually both exist. Except that your fates diverge at that point and there is no way either of you can ever know what happened to the other one.
So, basic translation. Because we defied destiny and the whisper harbinger was destroyed, more new worlds and timelines were created. Some die faster than others for various reasons. But all are united by the life stream. Sephiroth seeks to merge these other worlds together in the ‘reunion’ to create his ideal world where he will not end.
Between calling death a homecoming, and worlds merging, you'd think this is Xenoblade 3 lol FF16 had some Xenoblade 3 similarities too, makes me wonder if Square has just been inspired by that game
The Xeno games and the 2020s FF7 sequels are both partially inspired by the idea of reincarnation and eternal recurrence. As for the worlds merging, well... a certain American comic book did it first. ;)
my guess is less so time and more so memetic lifestreams..? memories and will/thoughts, making new threads of the lifestream and because it’s apart of lifestream it’ll always pull apart and return to the planet. but maybe this specific Sephiroth (cuz there are multiple) and now Aerith, exist separately from the lifestream… (hence the new type of whispers) that are more so born out of their will.. memetic legacies are a reoccurring theme… so i’d guess in a way, merging it all together would stop the separation cycle, maybe make a limbo… similar to the situation of the world with Tidus and Yuna. i don’t think the merging of worlds would be like Ultimecia’s time compression, as in to bring all life to one point and end living… Merging of worlds would maybe just mean.. no longer being dissolved in and out of the lifestream which is kind of what we are seeing Zack and Aerith do now and i know it’s what Sephiroth does.. to an extent at least one of the Sephiroth’s anyway (using his will and specific memories to defy the cycle of the planet and exist) will is also why Sephiroth easily overrides Jenova’s parasitic nature, because she naturally has no will outside of her virus like system of existing. Sephiroth assimilates Jenova, with his will. Jenova influences others will and thoughts through memories (becoming the things you know and are familiar with in order to manipulate) dreams and honor… are just will and memories in another way too i guess…. will and memories constantly pop up. but… i dunno… Sephiroth can you explain it to me like it’s the bite of 87…
but i guess you could argue that the lifestream and memories are a form of time..??? but not in the concept of linear time… we also hear conversations about dreams/will and memories creating a way to see into the “lifestream” by one of those ladies in the talking circle at cosmo canyon i think and maybe that’s why all the stamps are military themed small dog breed and we haven’t seen something like, those hellhound dogs (like Rufus pet) be a stamp because people remember it being some sort of lap dog…? i dunno!!! ashhdksk let me shut up
Sephiroth: *explains the multiverse* Sephiroth: But hey... It's just a theory. Sephiroth: *rips a rubber mask off, revealing MatPat underneath* MatPat: ...a GAME THEORY! MatPat: Thanks for watching!
Mat wasn't sad about leaving RUclips. Why SHOULD he be sad? He's the Chosen one! Put on this planet for the purpose of taking it back from us loathsome humans!
I am just now realizing that the entire first half of FF7 up to Aeriths death was Aerith and Sephiroth playing chess against each other with Cloud's heart and mind on the line.
It's funny how everyone keeps saying Kingdom Hearts. Did none of you guys play shit like FF1 which had time travel, FFVIII which had time travel and memory shenanigans, and especially FFXIII-2 where you had a bunch of different timeline endings you had to get to 100% the game?
Sephiroth says, "When the boundaries of fate are breached, new worlds are born" does that mean all new realities only exist because of what Remake did at the end? The end of this series better be the greatest most satisfactory happy ending that ties everything together otherwise the multiverse will continue it's losing streak.
It’s so bizarre how the remake trilogy is trying to incorporate multiverse stuff and Sephiroth trying to undo his loss from the OG, but events have been mostly the same. Now that the story followed the hardest part (Aerith’s death), part 3 can really go wild. Especially since they had stuff from part 3 in this game like Tifa in the livestream and Cloud remembering Zach. I’m talking about total convergence. Hope you’re ready for Gackt and Angeal to save the day while you fight Matt and Lucia-Sephiroth clones from the mobile game.
How will they do the 3rd part? It will be huge since there are some parts missing, like Wutai, Mideel, Northern Crater, Weapons, Outer Space, Huge Materia, Meteor, Rocket Town, Shinra Sister Ray, More Summons, etc. How will they fit all of those?
With hard work and resources? They'll likely cut some areas that were fine as one-and-dones, like a few dungeons such as Mythril Mines. There's only 4 more summons left, what's more interesting is if they'll finally handle it all in a more immersive way. Yes there's going to be places like North, Rocket Town, Wutai, Mideel, and theoretically that Ever Crisis area since that game is now being pulled in. It won't be as much of a progressive world journey so major cutscenes that'd be used for that, will be used for the more world-scattered events like you list.
Well assuming they remain faithful to the third part and not cut a lot out and place pieces that don’t make much sense like the overdone multiverse trend, OG disk 2 covers from Aerith’s death aftermath to the final raid on Midgar while OG disk 3 is just the final dungeon. That can all easily be put into the final game. What I’m honestly wondering is how will the high wind work in a giant world like 7’s. It’s going to be interesting and exciting😊
@@sandorcleg7393 You forgot under water and revisting everything. Part 3 will possible be as big as Rebirth if not bigger story content wise. They can easily make it another 50 hours of story. And I'm sure revisiting Midgar will be even more fleshed out than it was in the original. And you forgot about the mountain town up north before they go to Northern Crater
@@sandorcleg7393 Time travel in this game is just Back to the Future II. The extra step is that this story's writers actually take "matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed" seriously and made it so that there is a point in spacetime where all timelines end and begin (this is partly inspired by the concept of eternal recurrence in some religions). The Biff Tannen of this tale is trying to use that place of death and rebirth to collapse all the branches into a single branch where he uses the almanac to get rich. All of this has now been explained in three sentences stacked on top of a scene from an 80s movie that is less than five minutes long. The biggest mistake I can see them making is assuming that every Christian and Muslim (and people raised in those religions) will understand all of this without help. Abrahamic religion has no concept of cyclical time and sees it as a matter of Birth ----> Death, so the concept of Birth ---> Death ---> Birth ---> Death is going to be a lot to digest for a lot of people without a clear explanation.
I feel like they will handle it very very well. They know they can’t fuck this up. And everyone is just nervous cause of how marvel has messed with it all.

there another way just join sephiroth side and destory this world and recreated new one which is good and bringing all life back to live again instead current one which half or character had already died. just let meteor hit the planet so sephiroth can recreate new one lol :D

I Think He's Talking To Cloud About How The Worlds In Kingdom Hearts Works
Cloud is essential to his plan while also being the biggest threat to him, he really needs to play his cards right.
Would say in the 3rd game this Aerith will turn out to be the OG FF7 Aeirth. Just the way she is talking like she knows what is going to happen.
Well he did say at one point that this Aerith has been hiding from him in this world, so it would stand to reason that this is the Aerith counterpart of this 'Multiverse Sephiroth' who seems to come from OG FF7

People are claiming Kingdom hearts but has anyone ever played Chrono Cross. Zack is basically playing the role of Serge right now.
When people compare it to KH it’s a statement on the quality of writing not just the universe/time travel elements. It would be a compliment to be compared to the chrono series.
@@Kodiie yeah the fact that Alternate dimension Zack is pushed into a world where Zack is dead that is pretty much serge in a world where serge is dead. Sephiroth is pretty much playing the act of Lynx/Dark Serge. Lynx wanted a very similar thing to destroy both worlds and not only that he wanted to make it where the world's couldn't be crossed anymore. He knew serges was the key.now I don't think Zack is that complex lol.

"Behold... the true nature of reality!"
Cloud: "Who the fuck starts a conversation like that?!"
To be clear: this is NOT an MCU-style multiverse. There's an easy-to-miss NPC in Cosmo Canyon that says (paraphrasing): the Lifestream/mako is made up of memories. But memories aren't just real events. We remember dreams, goals for the future, fictional stories etc. In the lifestream, these dreams/fantasies become pocket worlds where the dead reconcile/resist and relive their deaths. (That's why Zack and Biggs are constantly being gunned down by Shinra snipers.) Its very similar to FFX's Farplane
In the OG, mako poisoning is described as trippy dreamlike/memory-infused coma. When we enter Cloud's subconscious to unlock his memories, we're in a dreamlike world; there's even a glowing crack in the sky. Nothing's changed, this same concept is being applied to the entire Lifestream and elaborated on. In the context of Rebirth, OG Cloud's subconsciousness was a temporary dream world, a safe haven to piece his memory together before fading away
I think they are in purgatory worlds this time. Everyone is in their own world made up of collective consciousness and memories. If they can’t work together or enter the lifestream they cannot figure out where they are and how to stop it? The only difference is Aerith likely has all her memories the whispers stripped away back intact. So she may know how to stop it this time. She may not be completely gone this time. At least not everywhere.
Sephiroth really sayin "fuck one timeline i want them ALL!"
His goal since the OG is to control the Lifestream. That hasn't changed. What changed is that by breaching the boundaries of fate, he found a way to utilize the energy created by short lived worlds as they come and go. He can grow more powerful by absorbing this energy (he did this at the end of Remake, and also end of Rebirth) at the moment a world is destroyed.
he basically frayed the once singular lifestream into many branches to make it more vulnerable to his attempts of taking control of it
@@zaqareemalcolmit makes me wonder if Sephiroth will have a new form for his final boss fight in part 3? Back then it was just one world he was absorbing but now it’s multiple worlds.

@@R.-.Wyeah it sucks people keep blaming Nomura for the direction the remake project is going when he isn't involved with the writing i love the remake games btw
@@R.-.W With all due respect, Nomura is a LIAR dude. Nobody believes that. I mean come on, you don't think the guy would want to avoid heat? I'm not saying its not Kitase's fault as well, he approves everything, but if you mean to tell me Nomura has absolutely NOTHING to do with ANY of these plot elements despite being the CREATIVE DIRECTOR (you see his name before Kitase even shows up in the credits), you're insane. This is just a defense on Nomura out of desperation. He TOTALLY had a hand in this. Its got his DNA written all over it.
Now whether you think he did a good job or not is one thing, but his execution of his "style" is VERY familiar to me and I can see it in spades with this game. Its pretty easy to spot
So Sephiroth's basically on some Heaven Ascension Dio type nonsense now? 😅
Quick, throw another Sephiroth's Diamond Bangle at him
@@Haka-f3k-u Or alternatively, Cloud and company should just get Jotaro on board to deal with Sephiroth for them. Wouldn't be the first time he's defeated a ridiculously powerful inhuman threat with a god complex. 😂
Edit: and what makes this mental image even more hilarious is that Sephiroth's Japanese voice actor also played Kira in the Part 4 anime. So now I'm just imagining it sounding like that scene when Jotaro beat the ever living hell out of Kira after the latter hurt Koichi. 😂
Well, I guess the 3rd game will focus on the multiverse. I'm excited but worried.
I'm betting it now that the 3rd game will be about combining all the multiverse into 1 true timeline where sephiroth can come back whole and try to rule the world or somethin.
I'm more worried than excited. Everytime comics, movies, and video games dips into the multiverse pool it becomes dumber for it. Bayonetta 3 is a perfect example of how trash this concept can get.
@@jeremyzak654what happened in that game?
@@jeremyzak654 Yh, like alternate versions of characters. Don't get me wrong, alternate versions of characters are cool, but when they overdue the concept, that's when it gets messy.
As they say, the power of the multiverse concept needs to have a limit.

Gives more meaning that the term "reunion", doesn't it?
I wouldn't be surprised if Ultimecia had some influence in this.
At this everything is possible😂. Maybe will find out that aerith is rinoa's sister
I'd really love some FF8 lovin. After watching Aerith die twice, then come back, then leave, then hang aroud as Clouds schizo girlfriend, I guess that wouldnt be too crazy.
Taught him during the Dissidia cycles and he still remembers all of it.
If I remember right, Nomura had commented how some ideas that he couldn't implement in the og FF7 he used in FF8. So he, Kitase, or Nojima are probably using remake as an opportunity to add them.
If any installment is connected, it's FFX. There's a Shinra there.
Sephiroth explaining half an A press to cloud.
this is the original aerith speaking to us. the one that knows everything.
So, that's mean we can meet 1997 Cloud in part 3? That cloud after event of advent children and dirge of cerberus?
At this point I won’t be surprised if sora just make a cameo on part 3
As Cloud and Tifa's future child. 😊
(In my headcanon)
I mean....we don't know what could have happened to Cloud when he went through the Mako back in the original. The idea of multiverses was too much for that Cloud. Iterations could have had different outcomes. The idea that mako energy is what combines the worlds in a multiverse makes sense. People are just upset that it looks like FF7 is just jumping on the bandwagon of multiverse stuff.
If you speak to mako-poisoned Cloud, he references Chrono Trigger iirc...
The music.... GOD the music!
Right?!
I waited 8 years to hear THIS theme Remade and it was worth it
The scene where Aerith pushes Cloud and you see Sephiroth slowly entering the church is one of my favorite scenes in the game, holy shit. It said so much with so little; Sephiroth is an absolute menace in every timeline, and Aerith is tragic in every timeline. Unless the theories are true in that Cloud created a timeline where Aerith doesn't die when he hit Sephiroth's sword... Sephiroth killing Aerith is truly a canon event.
It might be a singular event that needs to happen in every timeline for Sephiroth to be defeated.
So Sephiroth knew he has to create a reality where she lives to break the cycle. He used Cloud's (and the fan's) hope of saving her to achieve this.
And in the end the Aerith that survived will have to sacrifice to restore the status quo. So in a meta way it's the writers telling the fans that they need to let go of the idea of saving Aerith, because her death is a vital part in the survival of the FFVII universe.
That reminds me of an episode of What If? where Doctor Strange tried changing the past to save his loved one but no matter what she kept dying one way or another. I think it was called Absolute Point in time. So Aeriths death could be inevitable.
It's a possibility multiverse aerith and Zack will help us in part 3.
I had a feeling that we would get both Aerith dieing and then being alive again as well

Or Cloud doesn't care to question the man who killed his mom and burned down his village
This is peak mind control/brain addled Cloud, adding the psychedelic experience of "the universe is infinite and so are all of us" just adds to his fucked-up-ness. I think this is gonna add to the difficulty for him next game to accept who he is, embrace his emotions for his friends etc. Like, i could see him not caring about tifa/barret or anyone getting hurt or in danger, cause like, he's just gonna unite timelines to save aerith, so there's prob a timeline where they're not in danger or hurt anyway
Aerith and Sephy are just S2 Loki at this point anyway, they're timeslipping between timelines to try and ensure the outcome they want.
I finally get it, OG FF7 wasnt even the original timeline, the original timeline was zack surviving and midgar destroyed by meteor, this is why clouds behavior was already so weird in OG, not really jenovas cells, we was already pushed around by whispers.
It is implied the Whispers are literally Destiny. You control them, you control the Way Reality Remembers itself. How it Lives, how it Dies, if it dies When it dies. Think of Living in somebody's Unconscious Mind. And JENOVA lives in that Mind with the Souls. As does Sephiroth. As does everyone touched by JENOVA. All of Us, All for Us.
I kind of agree because in OG even if Sephiroth failed planet is doomed anyway. In AC it shows Sephiroth can still come back. So I think the OG is the one where Zack lives, and Aerith still alive. That's why they keep saying you should save Aerith
Aerith is literally the strongest character in Final Fantasy. Imagine knowing your fate but you still use the time you have left to uplift other people.
I don't think the word "strongest" is fitting here cause normally you use that word for power levels and strength.
Maybe the word brave or strong willed might be mor fitting for the message that you are trying to convey

To the people claiming "oh this is just Kingdom Hearts now", Final Fantasy has dabbled into alternate timelines as early as day one with the original Final Fantasy, and I'm not referring to Stranger of Paradise. Timelines were also a plot point in FFVIII. You even played as characters from the past
Yeah but ff7 wasn't about that at all. I think it's just a way to not upset new fans with the darker aspects of the story
Timelines were never a part of ff7.
Playing as the same characters but from the past is NOT the same as straight-up universe hopping and having multiple parallel characters. Just hope they nail the concept and not get too convoluted, even the jp fanbase is screaming they have no idea what's going on/will happen.
@@jinnimoo You aren't playing as the same characters from the past. You play as Zack in certain sections in this game as just as you played as Laguna and his friends in their own story from the past.
Also, FFVII's instigating antagonist Jenova is literally a planet-hopping space vampire
@kaihedgie1747 Been over a decade since I played ff8, yeh there are other characters from the past you play as, but ultimately it's not a multiverse/parallel world story. The issue with ff7 here for most people is that this oversaturated timeline concept was never part of the narrative to begin with, so long time fans are a bit trepid on where they're going with it, or why it needed to exist in the first place.
That thumbnail tho
Somehow I think this scene is how cloud got the black materia at the end
I was afraid the remake would have the Nomura treatment...this feels more like KH lore shenanigans.
So this is like MK 1 now? At least with MK 1, it isn't complicated. But with FF7? It'll be complicated as heck
Mk already had 3 reboots, so I don’t know what you mean by “isn’t complicated.”
This isn't Kingdom Hearts anymore. It's Sonichu.
Let me explain. The main characters are a dangerous, malicious psychopath with horrible fashion sense, a scary weird obsession with their mother, and who constantly bangs on about the merging of dimensions and worlds while identifying as their god, as well as a guy who looks exactly like an ostensibly more successful character but with yellow hair.
Never before have I both wanted something to be not true and true as much as this. It's so dumb, but it's so _hilarious!_ but it's _SO _*_DUMB!_*
Sephiroth: Okay, you know that multiverse and alternative timeline stuff? Forget all of that. I tried it. Didn’t work; I couldn’t go anywhere. Next best thing?

It’ll be my opportunity gathering them all in the Reunion to reach divine power.

Nah, Kitase is still running the show as producer and was approaching Kevin Feige levels of "influencing" the plot (though he was the director of OG FF7 so he has way more of a right to do that than Feige). Hamaguchi and Nomura were advocating to make the time travel less complicated and, believe it or not, they succeeded-- this is just Back to the Future II with extra steps.
The Homunculus from Shadow of Destiny: Well, let's try an analogy. It may seem trivial, but suppose you're in a cafe, trying to decide between coffee and tea. The you that chooses coffee after a long deliberation, and the you that chooses tea actually both exist. Except that your fates diverge at that point and there is no way either of you can ever know what happened to the other one.
So, basic translation. Because we defied destiny and the whisper harbinger was destroyed, more new worlds and timelines were created. Some die faster than others for various reasons. But all are united by the life stream. Sephiroth seeks to merge these other worlds together in the ‘reunion’ to create his ideal world where he will not end.
So I might be right about him seeking to make all timelines merge and then proceed to become God via the same plan from the OG?
Imagine if Sora popped up on one of the timelines 😮😮😮
Soon, Cloud and Sephiroth will appear in Magic The Gathering. This will be an interesting....reunion
All Ima saying is that yozora better be a secret boss in the next game

Between calling death a homecoming, and worlds merging, you'd think this is Xenoblade 3 lol
FF16 had some Xenoblade 3 similarities too, makes me wonder if Square has just been inspired by that game
Some jrpgs have been taking some inspirations from the Xenoblade games lately so this doing the same may not be too much of a surprise.
Xenoblade 3 is technically a retelling of Xenogears which was suppose to be the original script for Final Fantasy VII
@@bep7670Ding ding ding ding
The Xeno games and the 2020s FF7 sequels are both partially inspired by the idea of reincarnation and eternal recurrence. As for the worlds merging, well... a certain American comic book did it first. ;)
my guess is less so time and more so memetic lifestreams..?
memories and will/thoughts, making new threads of the lifestream and because it’s apart of lifestream it’ll always pull apart and return to the planet.
but maybe this specific Sephiroth (cuz there are multiple) and now Aerith, exist separately from the lifestream… (hence the new type of whispers) that are more so born out of their will..
memetic legacies are a reoccurring theme… so i’d guess in a way, merging it all together would stop the separation cycle, maybe make a limbo… similar to the situation of the world with Tidus and Yuna.
i don’t think the merging of worlds would be like Ultimecia’s time compression, as in to bring all life to one point and end living…
Merging of worlds would maybe just mean.. no longer being dissolved in and out of the lifestream
which is kind of what we are seeing Zack and Aerith do now
and i know it’s what Sephiroth does.. to an extent at least one of the Sephiroth’s anyway (using his will and specific memories to defy the cycle of the planet and exist)
will is also why Sephiroth easily overrides Jenova’s parasitic nature, because she naturally has no will outside of her virus like system of existing. Sephiroth assimilates Jenova, with his will.
Jenova influences others will and thoughts through memories (becoming the things you know and are familiar with in order to manipulate)
dreams and honor… are just will and memories in another way too i guess….
will and memories constantly pop up.
but… i dunno… Sephiroth can you explain it to me like it’s the bite of 87…
but i guess you could argue that the lifestream and memories are a form of time..???
but not in the concept of linear time…
we also hear conversations about dreams/will and memories creating a way to see into the “lifestream” by one of those ladies in the talking circle at cosmo canyon i think
and maybe that’s why all the stamps are military themed small dog breed and we haven’t seen something like, those hellhound dogs (like Rufus pet) be a stamp because people remember it being some sort of lap dog…?

I am just now realizing that the entire first half of FF7 up to Aeriths death was Aerith and Sephiroth playing chess against each other with Cloud's heart and mind on the line.
It's funny how everyone keeps saying Kingdom Hearts. Did none of you guys play shit like FF1 which had time travel, FFVIII which had time travel and memory shenanigans, and especially FFXIII-2 where you had a bunch of different timeline endings you had to get to 100% the game?
Visually this scene was very cool. Can’t wait to see the Lifestream sequence.
Great... timelines. Well, I'm going to have a headache when I play this...
It's not that difficult

3:34 I’m not over the moon with this new story direction but I love this dialog exchange. Sephiroth sounds truly unhinged.
Sephiroth says, "When the boundaries of fate are breached, new worlds are born" does that mean all new realities only exist because of what Remake did at the end? The end of this series better be the greatest most satisfactory happy ending that ties everything together otherwise the multiverse will continue it's losing streak.
"Lets us defy destiny together "at the end of remake.
And this seph "let go of the past, cloud. The futur is bright"
Not the same guy

YES! YOU GET IT! IT OPENS THE GATEWAY TO MORE POSSIBILITIES RATHER THAN THE EXACT SAME THING AS BEFORE!
Or things could get worse than before
Canon Event still happen multiverse is saved
a reunion of worlds.... hm a rejoining so to say.
It’s so bizarre how the remake trilogy is trying to incorporate multiverse stuff and Sephiroth trying to undo his loss from the OG, but events have been mostly the same. Now that the story followed the hardest part (Aerith’s death), part 3 can really go wild. Especially since they had stuff from part 3 in this game like Tifa in the livestream and Cloud remembering Zach. I’m talking about total convergence. Hope you’re ready for Gackt and Angeal to save the day while you fight Matt and Lucia-Sephiroth clones from the mobile game.
Genesis Gackt lol
How will they do the 3rd part? It will be huge since there are some parts missing, like Wutai, Mideel, Northern Crater, Weapons, Outer Space, Huge Materia, Meteor, Rocket Town, Shinra Sister Ray, More Summons, etc. How will they fit all of those?
With hard work and resources?
They'll likely cut some areas that were fine as one-and-dones, like a few dungeons such as Mythril Mines. There's only 4 more summons left, what's more interesting is if they'll finally handle it all in a more immersive way. Yes there's going to be places like North, Rocket Town, Wutai, Mideel, and theoretically that Ever Crisis area since that game is now being pulled in.
It won't be as much of a progressive world journey so major cutscenes that'd be used for that, will be used for the more world-scattered events like you list.
Well assuming they remain faithful to the third part and not cut a lot out and place pieces that don’t make much sense like the overdone multiverse trend, OG disk 2 covers from Aerith’s death aftermath to the final raid on Midgar while OG disk 3 is just the final dungeon. That can all easily be put into the final game. What I’m honestly wondering is how will the high wind work in a giant world like 7’s. It’s going to be interesting and exciting😊
@@sandorcleg7393 You forgot under water and revisting everything. Part 3 will possible be as big as Rebirth if not bigger story content wise. They can easily make it another 50 hours of story. And I'm sure revisiting Midgar will be even more fleshed out than it was in the original. And you forgot about the mountain town up north before they go to Northern Crater
@@sandorcleg7393 Time travel in this game is just Back to the Future II. The extra step is that this story's writers actually take "matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed" seriously and made it so that there is a point in spacetime where all timelines end and begin (this is partly inspired by the concept of eternal recurrence in some religions). The Biff Tannen of this tale is trying to use that place of death and rebirth to collapse all the branches into a single branch where he uses the almanac to get rich. All of this has now been explained in three sentences stacked on top of a scene from an 80s movie that is less than five minutes long.
The biggest mistake I can see them making is assuming that every Christian and Muslim (and people raised in those religions) will understand all of this without help. Abrahamic religion has no concept of cyclical time and sees it as a matter of Birth ----> Death, so the concept of Birth ---> Death ---> Birth ---> Death is going to be a lot to digest for a lot of people without a clear explanation.
What is bro yapping about ?
Hes yapping about how the FFVII universe is a multiverse in itself with an infinite amount of timelines.
When Sephiroth become Thanos.
I feel like they will handle it very very well. They know they can’t fuck this up. And everyone is just nervous cause of how marvel has messed with it all.
