Another new twist of lore! I'm thinking now of what the Gi said about the Cetra not being perfect. Jenova's presence on Gaia could aggravate the Lifestream and churn it in a negative direction, but it may not necessarily be the source of Negative Lifestream, which might be spiritual. I feel confident Alyssa is an illusion of Jenova playing with them. Experience with VII has thought me when I feel confident, I need to be ready for a curve ball lol. They are really driving home the difference between Angeal and Sephiroth, between Angeal having a family and a real home, and Sephiroth having neither. If everything is in this story is fuel to tie into the big Lifestream memory sequence crux, could the big reveal be the parental love story of what Claudia, a single mother of age seventeen, gave Cloud. In a sense, Tifa and Aerith may be the ultimate subversion: beauty can lead the heart astray, or cloud the eyes from the truth. But without having that boring parental love first, what does a child grow up to turn into?
Jenova and Sephiroth hugging near a flower field looks similar to a scene in Rebirth. I wonder that is supposed to be a preview for Jenova-Aerith in part 3. They outlined in OG that Jenova appeared as loved ones to the Cetra, but we are seeing for the first time how that works through Lucrecia and Sephiroth. Maybe Cloud actually gets swayed by Jenova-Aerith in part 3 and Zack will have to square off against Cloud and Sephiroth working together. They've been setting up Sephiroth trying to get Cloud to join him since the end of game 1. That could actually be an interesting story change.
That would genuinely be incredible because I’m a firm believer that the harder the fall, the more triumphant the return. Cloud falling so hard into the darkside that he fights and works WITH Sephiroth will make his return and acceptance of himself THAT MUCH more impactful. I really like this idea and I would love to fight Cloud as well.
it's nice to know that they did have plan to have zack go to different places than just being stuck in midgar i was starting to thing this always the plan and it was just cuz of time and money
@@schrodingersbabyseal maybe I was drunker than I thought when I wrote the comment, you guys being excited and wanting to start offhand by laughing at things that were a little out of context made me get the impression that you were a bit like me at the time, sorry about that, awesome live btw.
I unironically hope they remake the First Soldier story for modern consoles, with a scope that is like, half of Rebirth’s.. and that they call it, “First Crisis”.
"BACK?!" 😂 My interpretation is not that we're seeing Remake/Rebirth-continuity Sephiroth, but that it's simply Jenova's influence coming through. That's her speaking through him. She made the sword by controlling Masamune (the smith) and now she has a stronger vessel that can claim it (Sephiroth).
I get the feeling this is laying the foundation for a possible Sephiroth redemption. It wasn't Sephiroth that slaughtered Nibelheim you guys, it was the sword!

I felt the story this month was a little underwhelming until I started hearing some of you guys talk about it.
I was a little drunk when I saw this live, but I'm sure that at the beginning of this live you were higher than me lmao
lol I’ve actually been completely clean and sober for 16 years as of November 21st lol
