It doesn’t surprise me one bit that some of the things cloud says in this game are not going to come to light until the third game because that’s exactly what they did with this game and remake, the scene where he lowered Aerith into the water is in the first game as a flashback
Yeah, I definitely see that 💯
Those lines have been recorded for part 3 of the game Cody Christensen said he recorded those lines and it'll be used in part 3 of the game flashback Missouri be completed by the company
@@LeonardMosca I heard about that too man part three is gonna be sick and I have no doubt it’s gonna be a pretty close to perfect conclusion
Ending Rebirth with Tifa getting eaten by the Weapom would have been absolutely awful. That would have been one of the nastiest cliffhangers ever.
Glad the devs agreed too!! There’s absolutely no way you end a part on a cliffhanger like this! ESPECIALLY before entering Cosmo Canyon!!
Hell nah I would’ve thrown away my ps5
Low key wish that happened
@@coolcalmcloud363why?
Would have made the game relatively short too
The more I anticipate and think about part 3; the more mind-boggling it is just how big it will be…at least twice as big as Rebirth! And that is absolutely crazy!!
It took me at least 104 hours to complete Rebirth’s story,
With Part 3 you have so much to consider: the Highwind, the country of Wutai, the Weapons, new places from Icicle Inn to Mideel, the Knights of the Round summon, the Return to Midgar and the final showdown in the Northern Crater!!
The length of completing Part 3 could easily be 208 hours! Probably one of the longest and costliest single-player games Square ever made!
And just as it said on the back of the OG’s CD case: “Quite possibly the greatest game ever made!!”
It’s little wonder I don’t go a day without thinking about Part 3!! It will be with me until it’s eventful release!!
We will be looking at 3 years with no DLC
I really really hope Knights of the Round is not removed for some odd reason. I absolutely love Remake and Rebirth and have mostly no problem with the changes. Just completed Rebirth the other day at 131 hrs. Cannot wait for Part 3
Don't forget taking a rocket to SPACE. Part 3 is going to be absolutely massive.
Agreed. Absolutely staggering to think about how content-rich Part 3 will be!
@@MrAznable Can't wait to see that moment play out!
I believe that Cloud's own feelings were so strong it created another reality where he received the white materia.
I think you might be on to something I just thought Zack was in purgatory or something that was kinda convoluted
Aerith is probably “not alive, but more like around.” (The statement is similar to her reference to Sephiroth when the party’s at Kalm.) - Still hope that she’d be alive somehow, but that’s looking more like a pipe dream. :(
The thing is, I don't get the argument that Aerith has to die. Whether we like it or not, this is not a remake of the original. The original happened already. You'll never beat the nostalgia of the first time you saw Aerith die. It's like all those WoW players thinking that Classic will bring back those amazing feelings of running Nax back in the day. It's a futile exercise. This is something different from the OG, so I like that they make these changes. Ultimately, I hope they give some player choice at the end - it's the only way these various communities will get what they want and if done right at the end, it's really not a massive amount of work for the devs.
I’m with you. While I understand if they keep the same path as the original, I will leap out of my literal SKIN to just keep her.
@@Seredetia Yea. I mean it's their choice what they are going to do with it, but I just don't understand why it's a sacrosanct thing that she absolutely can't come back. They've already changed the story to an extent. In for a penny, in for a pound!
Aeriths death in rebirth hit me harder than OG. Rebirth had aerith's trial, which was done in such a gut punching way. Then, making you think cloud deflected sephiroth's sword only to realize he imagined it followed by his mind in a breaking downfall as he can not accept she is gone. Though she could be pulling a force ghost on him, if it's the former, then that feels more tragic. In OG, the limited facial expressions and lack of voice acting made them look like dolls. When it was released, I remember having a more comical reaction watching that scene. Doing commentary on cloud like "Oh, she's dead, I should put her in some water."
@@leintati Ah, but when did you first play it? At the time, the cutscenes were genuinely groundbreaking. I get that they won't have aged well, but at the time they were unbeatable.
@@leintati Also, we still don't know that the multiverse isn't a thing. So she may well be alive in another reality, which again, dilutes things. I think he did parry the sword. After all, why do we think he is making stuff up? He doesn't have a history of being that crazy. Yes, he has changed perspectives in his storytelling, but straight up imagining things? That's not Cloud's MO. But my point still stands, why does she have to die?
I think a key note is that in OG, the temple is on southern island close to Mideel. They instead moved it to where bone village was in OG instead so they could save more of the souther region for later. I think it's very specific change to that end. That area is definitely gonna be bigger and thanks to moving temple, an area that was untouched in rebirth
Agreed. The entire Mideel region in Part 3 is going to be much more robust over what is currently there in the OG
The thing is, with all the buildup they've done about changing fate, either Zack or Aerith have to get a second shot at life, or what the hell was the point of it all?
Simulations in the life stream ala matrix when cloud enters the life stream, aerith and sephiroth play 4d chess for cloud's mind
They will both exist, just in a different timeline
Already looking forward to Part 3, Final Fantasy fans are living the dream.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Final Fantasy XVI Rising Tide
Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail
An absolute banger of a year for FF fans!!
Absolutely!
@@shenloken2 💯
prediction: a battle mechanic that everyone and their mother has been clamoring for since remake came out was being able to swap in party members who were on the backline such as established by FFX. Aerith STARTS like that, you can't have her in your main party at the start of battle, but you can swap her in from the backline. this keeps her in combat, because Cloud isn't able to process that she isn't there any longer. she also cannot synergize with anyone but cloud. once Cloud accepts that she's gone, you lose her for good.
Wow, that's POWERFUL. That's a brilliant thought. I think that character swapping, like FFX, is a natural element they can add to Part 3 to make it more dynamic. Adding materia presets would also be a huge plus. I love the thought of Aerith being a character that could be in the backline until Cloud fully accepts she's gone. Love it!
On the Highwind... having parking spots akin to the Tiny Bronco as the teleport ready parking spots should be a default. Then a mix of ropeway and chocobo flight would allow for the freedom of dropping the party off almost anywhere (but still allowing some gameplay progression restrictions via available chocobos)
In OG Aerith died and was just gone. In Rebirth she dies and then minutes later helps you fight the man that killed her.
Pretty sure that was a metaverse version of her. There was like three different verses/timelines going on there in the end. A bit confusing to be sure.
I just hope they close it strong. Mission accomplished as to the buzz and the anticipation for the next game. No need to sell another game in the next one. Just make something beautiful.
I feel like the Breath of the Wild to Tears of the Kingdom comparison is very appropriate for Part 3. Yes all the regions from Rebirth will return but there will be something different about them connected to the Weapons awakening or the Wutai vs Shinra conflict. Also submarine exploration of a underwater world is very exciting.
At least all the shinra reactors are not going to magically disappear and be replaced with ancient Cetra shrines. I hated that with Tears of the kingdom.
Completely agree. I am very interested in seeing how the implement the weapons roaming about the world. The scale in this next game is going to be out of this world
I feel like the third one will start with rocket town. The "fixed up" tiny bronco will probably have another crash landing as it passes over the region.
No I don't think so. I think it will start off with the Tiny Bronco having to land near Icicle Inn where the party have to continue on foot. I don't think we will visit Rocket Town until act 2 of the game when it is essential to visit that area as part of the story.
@@A203DBut why go there after the weapons awakening since in the original game we meet cid, at rocket town after the nibelheim revisit, and so the huge materia, but we should still meet sarule.
@@joshshrum2764 In the original Rocket Town is visited again because Shinra launch the rocket into space to destroy the meteor. Of course it dosen't work, but that will be why we visit Rocket Town again. I expect it will be expanded this time, so there will be more of an explaination about the Magnus Materia inside the rocket and stuff like that.
that or it needs upgrades to reach the crater. and the weapons awakening destroys it thus main vehicle shifts to the Highwind
Rope ladder fast access spot, placed on the overworld, while the Highwind hovers in the sky above wherever you are
Just treat every landing zone like you do the Northern Crater. Aka you get super close to the ground and then rope ladder down the to the surface. To save on time climbing up and down specifically have it be an animation that plays it as part of the transition when moving between land and air. That way you can load in or out of the necessary textures and assets to make it feel more seemless.
"Cloud's psychic interference reflects this state of mind" they didn't say that
Originally, Aireth was to come back with the fish key. The original game was rushed to completion this was taken out. I would imagine the return of Zack as well and a new reveal of a secret class of soldiers. I also would speculate there is more to Cloud than meets the eye wasn't his mother visited by President Shinra often. Maybe he is the 3rd brother in the Shinra line. As Shinra started the company in his hometown.
THANK YOU for mentioning the 5 stages of grief. I realized a while ago that those people clamoring for Aerith to live have probably never reached the acceptance stage and will refuse to ever do so.
Yeah, I definitely see Cloud going through this now. In the next game, we'll really see him go through these stages
Awesome commentary, thank you.
you do super solid research and have a strong pulse on what's going on. great video and appreciate the factual info you provide.
I appreciate that!
Most excited for Bahamut zero
I'd rather they skip Zero and go straight to Fury.
Airships should just shoot down and anchor for places that are normally traversable, then you use the anchor chain as a zip line down to the ground. and when you’re running around you should be able to use a device to call it and it flies in and hovers over while you grapple shoot up to it.
That sounds terrible
@@PunisherO61875 why? Im just talking about the “landing and pick up” options? Did you want them to physically land and disembark like a passenger plane?
@@daesong1378 oh ok I thought you meant that you can’t fly it, just zip line around from place to place lol
In one scene, Cloud stops Sephiroth's blades, but then there is a glitch and there is blood.... I think there are different realities (Multiverse ?) and she is dead in one, alive in another, and she can travel through universes be cause she is a Cetra and she is one with the life stream. She helped Cloud for the last battle against Sephiroth and she was there at the end of the game. Cloud can see her because, just like Zach, he spent years in Mako before Zach and him escaped from the lab.
I wonder how they will do enemy encounters in the field when you are in the highwind in the air or the submarine under the ocean. Would you run into enemies flying around or swimming or would you have to exit the vehicle to start a fight? There's also the gold chocobo breeding and it being able to fully fly around the world. Either way I am beyond excited for part 3.
As long as we chase weapon around in the highwind I'm happy
Think about it tho, they basically ended things on a similar note as og disc 1 but with a different recipe but the bitter aftertaste is the same if not more defined by this obviously different reaction we get from mc. I think a "reality" where aerith can be saved cheapens the message aerith has been trying to impart on cloud since remake.
To be honest I feel like I succeeded in saving Aerith, And Failed at the same time, Turning her fate into a "Canon Event", But there's could be the possibility of Holy being SO powerful that the caster will more likely end up in a Death-like state for a while, putting them In-between two Dimensions.
Dude...the Highwind literally doesn't land. It floats above the ground and a ladder extends to the ground as is seen in the manual for the original game.
I believe that Part 3 will start off them in Modeohiem. Where Cloud will further remember his time when he met Zack & worked with Tseng.
I think the answer is to not have highwind land, but a small shuttlecraft or as you said, rope.
Roping down from the highwind is literally the best solution. Hell, just make it a fade in/out of black and have show there's a ladder leading back up. Easy.
Yeah, but the problem is that it still has to land somewhere. It’d break the immersion, if you go down the Highwind and there’s nothing there
It’s pretty big too so they’d also need to find way to make the landing spots big enough for it
@@mrchicken6938 No? Have it floating above with a ladder from it down to the ground. Fade in and out of black for boarding/unboarding.
The last game is gonna be called revival
That would be a great name for it
There still should be places where you cant go with the highwind, e.i. knights of the round island; hence parachuting would probably not be conducive
then what is the point of having multiple timelines if the core story is just gonna stay the same??
I think this is the devs being misleading on purpose.
hamaguchi has said previously that the payoff for all the new mysteries/additions will be in part 3. no one knows for sure what the purpose of the "worlds" is for now, we can just speculate. some people seem to think this will all mean nothing in the ending and it's all just a big red herring but i think that'd be very unsatisfying. they're definitely gonna follow the same story beats with some additions/changes but i think the ending of the trilogy will be a brand new ending.
The therm timeline was never used. As far as we can understand, the worlds are more like lifestream manifestations.
If you ever wonder why Aerith and Cloud had such a good dynamic with each other just remember this; the writers needed YOU to care about Aerith’s death.
It didn’t matter what she meant to you (Cloud) specifically, only that it meant enough for her death to weigh heavily on you (Cloud).
The journey is to resolve the conflict between two Clouds (The real one, and the fake persona) and repair his mind. SO! Anything that is perceived by Cloud leading up to his resolve must be taken with a massive pile of salt. Everything he is witnessing is subject to tampering by Jenova.
This is why everyone's Final Fantasy VII theory sucks. Because it’s meant to. Why is the story so convoluted and confusing? Because, that’s the point. The writers need the player to be as confused as Cloud. The lack of clarity keeps you on the edge for your seat, it persuades you into theory crafting, it sets you up for shock. (Shock? Of what? - Good question.)
unfortunately they fuked the ending. atleast for me, i no longer care lol. great fuking game tho before the last chapter.
Well said!
@@TamanLinkin- Nah, they just made it to where you don’t have all the answers, and your confusion is in line with how Cloud and the rest of the party don’t exactly see/witness the same thing. It’s meta. We play as Cloud, and Cloud has unreliable memories/information…so it was handled in a Kojima fourth wall break kinda way.
I definitely can’t wait to see bahamut zero, and hades i think they can really improve hades, and make him look truly chilling, and metal.
The Highwind issue is a complicated one. Being able to land anywhere isn't the only issue. The world is technically quite small, and while there are some illusions to make the world seem bigger, the Highwinds speed and versatility would make the world seem even smaller. So you're looking at making the world harder to traverse to make theHighwind actually useful. In the OG the Highwind was an Upgrade to your previous modes of travel. Simplifying and granting access to new places. Also the OG was significantly more frustrating to traverse with random battles. That isn't really the case in Rebirth as fast travel exists as you unlock new areas, and the Tiny Bronco is only necessary to explore the unified overworlds ocean you are also running into a redundancy issue. So there will likely need to be significantly more world locations added that are only accessible via the Highwind. I'm sure they can figure it out, but that could mean more Dev time to re-do some of the world locations.
I think you're spot-on with that 💯
Yes i think we will see Aeris in some way against Sephiroth
He wants to absorb spiritual energy. Aka Lifestream, and Bugenhagen told us, that when we die we are going into or become one with the Lifestream.
That means, he would also absorb Aeris. Yes she could come back that way.
The last part will be so gigantic with so much to explore and Knights of the Round 😁
Great stuff here. I've become obsessed with Remake and Rebirth and it's reignited my love for FF.
Subscribed to follow more news that will no doubt come soon!
For Part 3, I cannot wait to play as Vincent and Cid. I want Knights of the Round summon cinematic to last for 5 minutes and be unskippable lol, and I want Aerith to survive. There, I said it. Since the multiverse thing is alive now, OG 97 Fans can have that version stay the same. Let this new version change things up a bit. I'm fine with that!
I appreciate your support!
I'm really curious to see how things pan out story-wise for Part 3. I think the devs set themselves up well to take a multitude of approaches for this last game, and if the quality of Remake and Rebirth is anything to go by, Part 3 is going to be EPIC!
Since FFVII is all about loss and how to overcome the grief, I think it would be too much of a cop out if they made a multiverse version of Aerith live…but it definitely is somethin’ I’ve wanted since I played the game as a kid haha.
All of that aside. I just want to know if im going to be able to obtain unlimited copies of any materia or if im only goin to have 1 per save file? Thats my big question. Will determine if i even get pt 3.
Have the airship land near mog houses... Have a different Mog minigames involving moogles & other recruitable monsters go out an exhibition quests where they gather fuel, parts for the ship, etc etc.
I want Cloud in part 3 to go crazy like that dude in the shinning. The party be in a cabin up near Icicle area and Cloud wonders around with a axe breaks down the door scaring Tifa screaming,"hhhhhhhherrrrreeeess, CLOUD!!!! hahahahah!!!"
🤣Would laugh my ass off if they went with that😂
So it sounds like Kitase and Nojima want to bring Aerith back as part of a 'happy' ending, but Nomura does not. I do find Nomura's view a little odd though, given his passion for multi-verse Fuckwittery. Ultimately, they are sending out numerous conflicting statements, as they have always done. I guess we'll just have to wait until part 3 to know for sure...
That's actually Nojima who likes that sort of thing all of his writing is like that
If she's alive in atleast 1 World when all the timelines merge back together she could in theory be alive again.
@@joshz2491 But the rumours are that Nojima wanted a truly happy ending and was told by others in the production team that should never happen.
I agree entirely with what you mentioned about the highwind. That would be simple enough, and if getting to drive the airship is too long or boring for some people… they always have fast travel lmao
💯
I wouldn't be mad if they extended it to 7 games lol
, Ive found Rebirth fantastic and enjoy it almost daily
You what.
I legit didn't play another game until I completed it. 131 hrs. Now I'm diving into the things I missed.
@@TheCollectorCave Same here! Just recently got the platinum and I'm left wanting more 😂
Same here 😂 It is great
@@funmylife9248 Oh nice. Congrats! The platinum is probably beyond me but I am working on mopping up some stuff I didn't complete.
The gighwind should be easy to do as you could use a rope ladder or make a new Portal mteria that allows you to ascend to the deck of the Highwind. There are many ways they could go, or more Tiny Branco with port hubs to land at. Also makes better use of those airstrips we see through the world. 😉
My belief is that the answer to the question of "Is Aerith dead? Or is Aerith alive?" is "Yes". She's both, as of now. The specific Aerith that we met in Remake and journeyed with up until the end of Rebirth is definitely dead. But at the moment Sephiroth was coming down to kill her, and Cloud was trying to save her, a new "world" was born, where he saved her; as shown by the rainbow effect, the same rainbow effect that was shown when Zack made the choices of either going to Shinra HQ to try and save Cloud, or going to the reactor to try and save Biggs, and each of those choices created their _own_ "world" where each important choice had been made. We were shown both of those outcomes - with that rainbow effect indicating they had come from the choice being made - for a reason. And for that same effect to be shown at the same moment when Cloud's sword strikes Masamune, and then we are shown two conflicting results of that clash, seems clear that the idea that was trying to be put across was that both of those outcomes occurred, but are now in different worlds.
What I'm not sure about, however, is whether Cloud made that happen by "defying fate", or whether Sephiroth _let_ it happen, as a means of trying to further manipulate Cloud, both at that moment, and later (with the intention of trying to get Cloud to cause the Reunion of Worlds once he realizes that the Aerith he saved is in another - dying - world). My money is on the latter, due to how he reacts, though, and my belief in that is further increased by the way he reacts to Aerith (presumably the one that we saved, in that other world) coming to join us in the final fight, when Sephiroth says that he "underestimated her", as it seems like he didn't expect the one that was saved to be able to so quickly come to our (and the others', including Zack, presumably, unless that was a different Aerith protecting him) aid.
I think her (and probably also Zack's) ultimate fate is going to be an integral part of the third game, and is going to be a large part of Cloud's struggle, *especially* after Mideel, I think, once he realizes that she's _not_ alive in their world trying to figure things out, but stuck in another one that is doomed to die. I think "fixing" him isn't necessarily going to stop him from playing right into Sephiroth's hands, this time around, as it were, and it may take something more - up to and including this alternate world version of Aerith, herself - to stop Cloud from causing the Reunion of Worlds to happen, just like Sephiroth wants to happen.
As an aside, the third game *absolutely* has to be called FF7:Reunion, right? Like, there's no way they're not going to call it Reunion. That just has to be the name.
Awesome post! I completely agree with your reasoning. I do think she is both alive and dead, with her being dead in the current party timeline, but seeing as there are multiple realities out there, I'm quite sure she could exist in at least one of them. I definitely think the fates of both Zack and Aerith will be a key point for the third game, and its importance will extend beyond just repairing Cloud's mind in the lifestream. Good stuff!
Also, Reunion would've been THE BEST name for it, but that will never happen because that went to the Crisis Core remaster back in 2022. I think Square used that title waaaay too soon.
Im curious how areas like gongaga cosmo canyon grasslands or neibilheim are gonna be handled in part 3 they did not have a big appearance in the original in disk 2
Yeah, perhaps out of everything content-wise for part 3, I am most curious to see how this will be handled. I can't imagine these regions will be missing from Part 3, but I DO think they will be a bit different due to the weapons running amok. It could make revisiting these areas refreshing to venture through again, but as to what content will be in there, I'm thinking largely optional quests and such
I'm not sure Cloud will get through all the stages of grief in part 3. In AC he's still very much dealing with it. He's clearly depressed at the beginning, sleeping in Aerith's church and unable to forgive himself. It's only at the end that he finds acceptance. "You're okay now, aren't you?"
Aerith will be in part 3. These are the same people who said there’s no multi verse after the ending of Remake. They’re creating mystery and intrigue for the fans while waiting for part 3.
I think Aerirth accidentally created "extra dimensions" by wishing to save different ppl or herself and even the planet itself. Thus "the rip" it's not a complete "world". Then you have the whole Sephy dynamic probably with similar consequences, thus what SEEMS like a multiverse is an expanded bubble with sumn like ripple effects. I'm guessing I still need to need the end of the video lol
@@kilik0410 it’s confusing part 3 is going to have a tough job answering all these questions and tying up all these loose ends. also is there two Sephiroth? Like there’s the one who knows everything and then there’s the one in the ice controlling Jenova right? Lol
@@jeremyfields9009 I'm sure they're gonna leave some ambiguity for fun lol but I'm only worried bout how it'll be presented more than IF it'll give us answers i guess.
I really need to rewatch Advent. My biggest confusion is if there is any connection between the "Frozen Sephy" and the Jenova entity ie who is influencing who. Aside from that tho, I know in the OG you had Jenova pretending to be Sephy and then the frozen Sephy, right? Just one real Seph. So NOW the question is, as you said, is there a 2nd reaal Seph like maybe from the future so to speak, basically doin what Aerith is doing; using one of her "awoken" states to literally change the world ie saving Zack . You know "The One" with Jet Li n Jason Statham? Lol but I think Eventually everything has to collapse into one. So like quantum dimensions n the idea of wave theory and once the outcome is decided then it " collapses" into the one reality. I dunno! Lol how else would they outdo the original's depth 😂 mixing the minds complexity n contrasting with universal/world theories. I'm totally here for it lol
Edit: apologies if I make NO sense lol
@@kilik0410 Jenova is a shapeshifter and Sephiroth’s will is controlling it so basically frozen Sephiroth is using it as an avatar in the OG. Just found out Nomura said in the ultimania Sephiroth's existence can actually transcend worlds and exist at the same time in multiple worlds. when Zack, Cloud, and the other party members all fight Sephiroth Reborn, though they are presumably existing in separate worlds, they are still fighting the same entity. So I guess he’s omnipresent now? Lol
The life stream is like super powerful computer capable of creating super realistic simulations.
She's dead but cloud can just see her and knows she actually okay even though she passed. That's why he asks her if she's gonna be okay there and she says it's a like second home. That's her fate.
Well said!
Yeah yes four more summons they are Bahamut ZERO, Hades and Typhon with Knights Of The Round, i can't wait to see Shera Highwind in Rocket Town also Lucrecia Crescent in Crystal Cave👍🏻😊
Same!
I ask myself how the Weapon fights are designed for the third part. Ultima Weapon as a fight on Airship but how?? We will see
@@uwekirschner187 Maybe they jump on it or they use jetpacks(Avalanche Team) fight with Ultimate Weapon round and round at the sky and Airship Highwind had firing missiles at it for the last match😎👍🏻
@@uwekirschner187 Definitely something to look forward to
Did no one notice that the airstrips are big enough for the highwind to land? It’s like the perfect size…. Common sense, guys.
Wanna see Hades. Also, I hope story is intense and hits more than the OG
If they make it so you rope down from the Highwind, then how would you get back up to it?
The rope comes down and you climb it up?
@@mrromanow3123 Leaving the rope down though would be a huge security risk to the Highwind. It's massive and Shinra most likely has tech to locate where it is at all times, so what would be stopping them from stealing it back if they could easily just the downed rope?
@@OnwardToMailI mean I'm thinking there's always gonna be some crew operating the Highwind so they can just let the rope down if they see the team approaching it obviously. Wouldn't be surprised if Midgars Seventh Infantry will play a role in this.
wish that they make the ancient temple not so long and more time for the lost city. but damn pissed for a kingdom hearts fight again like remake. bizzaro sephiroth and fight with aerith again against sephiroth feels like no idea to end the game right.
and somehow i wish we could have gotten the north crater when cloud give sephiroth the black materia.
the awakening of the big weapons would been such a huge big cliffhanger
Yeah I often thought of how crazy it would've been to have the game end with the awakening of the weapons after Cloud hands over the black materia. That would've been INSANE
if it speeds up development, let's do the rope thing. to get back up, use R2 or another useless button
Game. Of. The. Decade.
I think they shouldn’t focus on landing the Highwind but more on what content can only be accessible using Highwind… based on Rebirth everything is already accessible using either the Buggy or Chocobo and all content is managed by Chadley with almost nothing missables or hidden gimmicks.. I think they should make Round Island float and that makes the Highwind more worth it… otherwise it’ll be like Horizon Forbidden West you can fly but not much to do..
Never thought about Round Island floating, but that would be really cool! It would give the Highwind greater importance to certain landmasses that can only be accessed through sky travel
The original death was so impactful and heartbreaking. There's a lot to like about Rebirth but they bungled the ending again.
There are literal huge air strips in all of the areas in Rebirth. Just land there!
Yep, they are definitely big enough to accommodate the Highwind. I'm curious if there are going to be small alcoves the Highwind can land in Part 3, similar to the secret areas in FFX that you could travel to that were already part of existing locations.
@@funmylife9248 It'd be just like looking up at the Highwind in Junon, except at whichever airstrip.
Cloud is going through his shadow work to discover himself. At the end Cloud asks Aerith if she will be ok and she says its like a second home. What is a second home? The life stream? Or inside Clouds psyche? Will Aerith become the silent witness for Cloud? Will she be able to aid him in finding his true self as he begins to accept his greif and other emotions? We will have to find out in part 3 😎💯🔥 one view of some theories i have after the devs gave a heads up. I got so many more theories my brain might break lol i think both Cloud and Tifa began the first step of their shadow work in gongaga when they had their moment together. Just a theory.💯🔥
😂I like it! These are all good questions to ask. At the end of the day, the devs definitely accomplished what they wanted here, with the fanbase conjuring up theory after theory. We're about as confused as Cloud is at this point!
I think they could’ve had Tifa out of commission a little longer to help fuck with Cloud leaving him more available to Sephiroth
I hope Cissnei will be our playable character in Part 3 to replace Aerith....
We need more female companions in FF7 since After Aerith death only Tifa and Yuffie remains, while male companions are 6 people
That would be awesome. It was great seeing Cissnei in Gongaga
11:23 Except, Zack is alive. So that rule went out the door fairly quickly.
I’ve been enjoying this journey (of the game) so much. There are some annoying areas, some pointless side quests, and a LOT of confusion with the story… but, I’m glad I’m here to see it.
The original held a lot of nostalgia for me, but replaying it as it was just didn’t hit the same. I’m one of those idiots that usually buys a $70 game and puts it to the side pretty quickly. I can’t turn away from this one, though.
Glad to hear you're enjoying this one!
i'm curious to how they'll implement Hades.
Yeah, I'm really looking forward to seeing what they do with him in part 3
do you think the next game have 2 endings one were she lives and one were she was dead all a long
No, I can't see that happening. While Final Fantasy X-2 did feature different endings, they were more extensions of the previous one's you had. For this, I think they are going to definitively end it. Having two different endings that are so different would have fans asking the developers for something more definitive and I think Square wants to wrap up the trilogy with a nice bow
My wild theories.. maybe they are dreaming or in a game & maybe Aerith does not exist in reality she is like a defence being & is there to help guide them to their fate & or get them to wake up
Maybe Sephiroth knows but didn’t understand how to handle the situation correctly plus he is already classed as the badie
Hence why he kills her to fasten their awakening.. maybe it was pre-planed.
Hojo, though is the one at fault for using Jenova cells & using Mako energy from the planets Lifestream..
Hence why Aerith would have awakened in the first place..
also is original Jenova a Lufenian as they could clone & used gates to open a portals.. 🤔
Also Cloud,Zacks & memory link reminds me of Sora & Roxas from KH 💖
The scenes with Sephiroth behind fire when looking back reminds me of Riku with the water scenes from KH 💖
Ruki wasn’t bad he was just under the influence & Young Sephiroth in ever crisis does say he would not turn bad more or less
Sephiroth also mentions what Hojo is doing is wrong..
Loveless posters are also
interesting
Well that’s one of my theories
I really want to also see how Knights of the Round will be implemented cause In ff15 Noctis in the end had to sacrifice himself.. as that was part of using that power.
Anyway whatever they have in store for the game I’m sure it will be phenomenal & unique to its style 😊
Also wish they made a new game to show how all the games all linked via multi dimensions in 3d maybe that’s the ending 😅 as this series never ends 🤍
Love Final Fantasy series they are pretty awesome games Final Fantasy 7 remake & Rebirth are great games it would be nice to see what part 3 will bring..
Sorry for the long post & Thank you very much for the video much appreciated.♥️♥️
I just hope the Knights of the Round cinematic takes no less than 5 minutes when it's cast and you can't skip the cutscene. 😁
Love your post! I definitely see the similarities between Cloud and Zack's sequence in Rebirth reflecting that of Roxas and Sora in KH. It was a cool moment!
I also have complete faith that the devs are going to make an incredible game in Part 3. I love Remake and Rebirth, and if the quality of the games are anything to go on, Part 3 is going to be absolutely incredible. Can't wait!
@@funmylife9248Thank you, though I am sorry if the post was a little long, just thought it was nice to share it..
Also thought maybe originally that maybe Zack & Aerith could be from a different multiverse that why cloud sees them in the end of Advent Children.. when they wave at Cloud..
Glad I wasn’t the only one that noticed the KH references
Also noticed like Cloud being asleep where Zack is awake part also reminds me of how Sora was put to sleep.. while Roxus was awaken
Small details are nice to remember makes the game intriguing..
oh no sorry if my post was long again
Yeah I agree, going how well the the devs worked on the Remake & Rebirth, Part 3 is going to be awesome.
Thank you again for the great video too keep up the great work.
@@TheCollectorCave 😶 that might be hard to pull off, 🤔 unless it uses a similar tech to 15 & use the cinematic scene as a main scene in the story line
or they implement in a skip scene for the summons
or like rebirth main summon skill scene happens close to the end of the summons or when party member using it dies.. 🤔 guess we have to wait & see what the team does exciting 😊
@@lillyisle I appreciate it!
Yeah, I definitely see the similarities with KH and this remake trilogy in the Zack/Cloud relationship. This game has Nomura written all over it!
I'm thinking that these worlds will merge into one at the end of Part 3, culminating in one final battle against Sephiroth. Here, Cloud, Aerith, and Zack could team up in the final part of the battle and put an end to Sephiroth for good. It could be a really nice moment to see that happen, although I'm not sure what that would do for the fates of both Zack and Aerith who have "died" in other realities. Either way, I CAN'T WAIT!
I just hope that they bring Aerith back to life somehow. But for now it looks like she is gone and all the timelines were just the lifestream...
There's this whole Defy Destiny theme since remake from 2020.. so who knows, maybe Aerith will defy her destiny at the end.
Cloud saved her, but Seph sent everyone (but Aerith) into the World Between Worlds, the OG game.
OG temple is in the Southeast.
Rebirth (beagle) temple is in the North.
Cissnei doesn't feel like Zack is gone either.
Cait Sith: "I don't know if Sephiroth is dead, alive, or something in between, but I intend to find out."
13 regions is insanely overkill lol
I want Diablo summon that was my fav
Heck yeah💯
I feel Part 3 should begin with the classic scene of Aerith's death, of her being stabbed by Sephiroth, Cloud holding Aerith in his arms, and Cloud carrying and laying her on the water, and Aerith sinking into the depths.
And then it should cut to the present (this lets players know that it is a flashback and Cloud is thinking of his last moments with Aerith), where it shows snow falling on the Tiny Bronco's windshield and Cloud's party's gloomy expressions one by one. Cid then tells them "We are here."
Then, Cloud stands up and walks to the windshield, looks out, and the camera flies through the windshield and shows a breathtaking view of the Tiny Bronco flying amid a vast snowy landscape.
The snowy weather serves to reflect the party's grief and hopelessness of losing Aerith and that they are heading into the most unknown and dangerous part of their journey.
This will be a proper treatment of the classic Aerith's death scene and connects the mood of the story to where it left off at the end of Rebirth.
Wow! I love that. That's some great scene directing right there. I can see the team doing something like this at the start of part 3
@@funmylife9248 Thanks for reading the long comment and for your kind words. I personally think the remake series is great so far, but it can certainly inject more suspense into the directing and storytelling. Just wish to share some of my honest thoughts:
I feel they rush the entrances of powerful monsters without giving time to build up the anticipation and suspense, and they reveal too much too early e.g., showing Barret chasing after Dyne at the Gold Saucer instead of having Cloud's party discover the corpses and making players suspect Barret is the one behind the shooting (just like in the OG), showing Sephiroth killing the Midgard Zolom instead of letting players fill in the gaps themselves with the skewered Midgard Zolom (IMO Cloud's party should fight it but lose the fight, flee and hide from it and then emerge after some time only to find it skewered), and they should not have Tifa reveal that Shinra hired actors to cover up the Nibelheim burning incident instead of letting players wonder if how much of Cloud's flashback is true.
Maybe this is just me, but I feel much of the suspense in the OG is lost in this remake, and the camera work is oftentimes too hectic. Also, Sephiroth constantly showing up really gets old fast and makes him far less mysterious and threatening. I really hope Square Enix sees this comment and improve these aspects in Part 3, but I think it's a fool's hope, haha. Other than that, this remake series is pretty much perfect :)
@@MiraCrest-gi7bv Couldn't agree more about the Midgardsormr encounter and the reveal about Nibelheim's conversion. Those two moments were certainly done better in the OG, no doubt 💯
@@funmylife9248 Yeah. Thanks for providing such cool updates and keep them coming! Really can't wait another 3-4 years for Part 3, haha. It's such a torment. And btw, I didn't realize I was using another account to reply (just in case you mistake me for 2 diff person, lol)
@@MiraCrest-gi7bv I figured it was you!
I disagree that the comments don't give us much......I think they're very telling considering they've been pretty transparent about what this trilogy was going to be from the jump
The game has already been completed has already been completed so I think he solved it and I hope they take a romance mechanic out of part 3
Airship is pointless when fast travel exists but go off Square
Rope down 100%
Parachute in battle Royale style
Algo comment 👊🏼
If I am to be honest, the bit about the highwind sounds like a typical japanese developer " soft lie". As in, I think he is trying to redirect the blame from the actual problem which is that a lot of the world just isn't developed and they don't have time to do it, and if you could disembark anywhere you would see that. This kind of soft lie is pretty typical in Japan, so you sort of have to understand the type of development barriers they are going through to be able to tell what he actually means.
However if you have hookpoints as exist with the bronco, you never go anywhere you're not intended to, and the undeveloped areas don't present themselves and embarrass the developers.
Part 3: FF7 Resurrection
See, if you watched AC, you'll know Aerith isn't gone at all. She's not gone like Wedge, Dyne, or Cloud's mom Claudia... I love Jessie, but I know she's gone. Jessie's case is the real death. Not Aerith , nor Sephiroth. Whatever you call that, it's not death IRL.
We will see Aerith make one last cameo and be visible to the whole group for closure at the end of the game. She'll be visible to Cloud throughout the game though
Third installment
Final Fantasy VII: Reunion
Stfu already. They already said it wont be called that
Just get rid of the danm highwind its not required to critical play. Treat it like the tiny bronco or the Shira 8
THIS IS HYUGE
She is dead. The whole purpose of FF7 OG is was to depict loss and acceptance of self. If she survives then there is no point to this series, its flacid, lifeless and meaningless, just another cookie cutter anime game. Sure the character are great but there is no message with it anymore. If it wasnt for ff7, i dont know of i could handle the loss of my baby sister last year. I hate how so kuch media treats death as a plot device or an inconvenience, draw out the death in a theatrical nonsensical way, and take away all it agency, weight abd importance. If she lives, then this remake series missed the point and is a meaningless forgettable mess thay witn stand the test of time
And yet the original will still exist
If she is dead then the entire remake trilogy would be redundant. The obvious implication of them defeating/defying Destiny at the end of Remake is that Aerith is going to live. To kill her off would make that entire game pointless a result. The whispers, Zack surviving, Marlene and Red XIII gaining knowledge from Aerith, Wedge living longer than he did in the OG, Biggs surviving, the multiple worlds, the clear materia. It would all be redundant and a complete waste of time. If they were just going to change the story, but have it play out in the exact same way at the end, then what was the point of it all? Just make a 1:1 remake and call it a day. However, telling the exact same story with a few added bells and whistles is boring. The original will always be there. Allowing Aerith to live this time around doesn't change that.
I have a feeling this may be a one year shorter development time then rebirtb
I think so too 💯
Yeah real huge pile of trash minigames
Sqaure enix seels shit
