But Rebirth also gives us hope. Rebirth just have too many scenes where Cloud and Aerith hold each others' hands. I think it's no coincidence. We will see Cloud "hold Aerith's hand and never let her go".
We're getting her back, man. She's still alive in at least two realities. If I know my dude Cloud, he'll cross space and time for Aerith. He went to Kingdom Hearts looking for her; he showed up in Final Fantasy Tactics trying to find her. He's going to get this girl. *We are going to save Aerith - it's more important than any other goal.*
This song really gets to my heart. Cloud always hid his feelings from everyone, and Aerith knew exactly how to break all the walls he tried to put between him and the world. She was there for him when he needs it. The bond both created could not be possibly broken; neither time nor death can vanish their feelings. This song shows how Cloud is desperate to see Aerith again, while "No Promises to Keep" tells Cloud that Aerith will always wait for him in the after life where they won't be separated ever again. How beautiful that is!
First remake game: Clerith song to end the game from Cloud's POV 2nd remake game: Clerith song to end the game from Aerith's POV majority of western FF7 fans. Tifa & Zack are actually canon for Cloud & Aerith durrrrr. (you don't see this with the JP fans they're not delusional)
Tbf western Tifa fans don’t really play or like the game. They just come on RUclips to clip CT moments for their cringy tiktok edits. All they care about is aesthetics, that’s why they gagged over a rebound kiss while ignoring the context behind it💀
@@brodiewillis710 you know what square enix should just not give any optional thing for part-3 , only one ending- Cloud and Aerith. Cause these optional fan servicing is damaging the narrative of the game. I am very sure that developers truly want to focus on cloud and aerith but they are forced to add these fan servicing elements. Like when the game awards trailer dropped one of the cloti fan went on attacking nojima in 'X', they don't deserve these fan service.
Hollow lyrics - Clouds Theme FFVII REMAKE [Verse 1] I would be lost, drifting along Floating up high time after time And there you'd be shining brightly Your smiling face to guide my way Bloody and bruised, brought to my knees When beaten down, when broken up You would appear, reach out to me Heal every wound and make me whole [Pre-Chorus] Was it all a dream, will I ever know? Foolish and blind to everything Had I realized, had I thought it through? Would you be here in my embrace? [Chorus] Shine bright once more Guide me to you Smile bright once more This time I will never let you go [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] With your every smile hiding something more Dark mysteries lurking beneath But I was consumed with this emptiness This selfishness, this void to fill See rock shows near Norfolk Get tickets as low as $75 You might also like No Promises to Keep Loren Allred My Heart Will Go On Céline Dion Hello Adele [Chorus] Hear me once more Show me your smile This time for sure I'll see the truth hidden inside your tears But I, I know That you're long gone But I, I will Go on howling and hollow [Outro] To never know
@@НикитаСимонян-ж5е True, why Tifa fans always think that Cloud loves Tifa? When every scene with Aerith is so pure and natural. Cloud loves Aerith, and Aerith feels the same way, but she was scared to admit it. Zack was her first love, but now she loves Cloud.
@@nekofreaks I don't think she was afraid to admit she was in love with Cloud. On a date in GS, everything is pretty obvious. She shows that she has feelings for Cloud, that he is very different from Zack. But she feels that something is wrong with him, so to see the real Cloud completely is her main desire. And from this it is obvious that she is in love with him
You are gone. So suddenly. And I was never given the chance to fall out of love with you. Now I walk with these memories and feelings of our short time together impaled in my heart. Carrying them with no resolution in sight.
I love their chemistry so much, Cloud strikes me as a cold cocky brat at first so I didn't know if I ever develop any feelings for him, but as the game progress, Aerith shows me there are more to him than just the cool guy facade. And this song is just heart breaking, someone who never reveals his emotions, who looks like he doesn't give a shit about anything, is hurt so much from losing the sun of his life 😭 It's just so sad that he 'will go on howling and howling' 😭the last sentence of this song is like a declare from Cloud that he will never move on from Aerith.
If someone plays Crisis Core first, they would know that he wasn’t always that way. He had trauma from losing his mom and his friend. Dissidia Duodecim and Crisis Core were my first Final Fantasy games that I stumbled across and beat
@@agnerisortiz7808 yeah AC was made so Cloud's guilt can be lifted by Aerith, but he didn't move on in the end. I mean in the OG he already looking forward to meeting Aerith again in after life... this song really shows how much he missed her.
Meh I mean they would make great friends but this from my own perspective but I think tifa and cloud could work as a couple, but that's just my way of thinking
@@trazermoon5997 Tifa and Cloud strike me as good battle partners. I personally see no chemistry. Sure, Cloud has a crush on her but those two are terrible at communicating and opening up to each other in general. To me, Aerith complements Cloud a lot. She's adventurous, expressive, and open about her feelings. That's what he needs in his life. She brings him out of his shell and I see a Cloud I never see around Tifa.
Wow, this really blew me away. The art style, the expression on their faces, everything. Especially the changing between the outfits of AC to Remake. Along with the song, I feel this video really shows Cloud’s heartbreak on losing Aerith. I sincerely hope when Remake is completed that Aerith survives or somehow, some way Cloud and Aerith end up together. I love them together as a couple and I love Cloud a bit more because of how delicate he is as a character. Aerith sees right through Cloud and understands how delicate he is too. I think it’s one of the reasons why Cloud fell in love with her. Without him saying much, Aerith can get a hint about what he wants to say. And that’s why I am so happy that Remake Cloud is not a self-insert type of character. He has his own feelings and thoughts on things. For example, he wants a say on loving Aerith!! Let me tell you, Cloud and Aerith’s relationship is so meaningful it brings me to tears. From Cloud “I don’t give a shit” Strife to Cloud “Learn to talk to her” Strife after meeting Aerith…Aahh, Cloud just develops so well. I question why people think this song is about Zack or Tifa. Sure, Zack died but let’s be real, he was only a minor character in OG. Not that I don’t like Zack, but yeah. And the song has romantic undertones so it wouldn’t make sense if it was about Zack. And Tifa isn’t dead simply put. She’s right there lol. And Cloud and Tifa’s relationship is another sad can of worms that I’m not trying to open under this video lol. But anyway, those who deny that Hollow isn’t about Aerith or say that Cloud didn’t fall in love with Aerith are just hurt that their ship isn’t given validation or the way they interpreted things isn’t like how they thought it was. I think it’s obvious Cloud is in love with Aerith (and vice versa 😉). Even if Remake project never continued, the only scene that mentions anything about romantic love is Cloud’s resolution/dream scene he has with Aerith. To end this long comment, good job on this amazing video!!! I watched it a few times now and I hope it gets the recognition it deserves!!! ☁️🎀❤️
The sequel is already in development . FF7 Remake turned out to be very successful , that they even released DLC between parts . I hope for a great sequel, because my favorite part of the game begins after Midgar. Clerith forever
De todas formas ayer pensaba, si cloud y los demas acabaron con esos fantasmas que hacian qie el destino se cumpliera, eso quiere decir que quiza aerith sobreviva y no se cumpla su destino de morir... aunque tambien ocurre que su novio zack tambien esta vivo, asi o vuelve con zack o zack ocupa el lugar de aerith? O de todas formas muere, a menos que en la segunda psrte se restaure el destino original
@@LCardosed92 This is the real truth . Cloti fans are fans of Tifa and her sexy body, they want all Tifa's wishes to come true no matter what. Clerith are fans of Cloud and Aerith . Cloud always wants to be with Aerith , that 's his wish . For example, I watched a stream of a fan of Cloti and moments with Aerith, he always said, No Cloud, you must be in love with Tifa. That is , they don 't care about his desire to be with Aerith . I watched a stream of Clerith fans and there are no such moments, no one was jealous of Clerith from Cloti moments, because they don't have romantic moments at all. This ship lives on the fact that they save each other , or where Cloud fell on her from the train ...
This video is so good and Aerith is so happy when she is with cloud. I cried whenever I think this strong and cheerful girl who always think how brightly their future will be just don’t have the chance anymore. It’s brutal and realistic too. Not everyone will get happy ending, there are really a lot of person in this world that gone through so much but then loss their life especially during this 2 years due to the pandemic. Aerith is really the symbol of appreciation of life. I just hope that Aerith will have a chance to live, with Cloud that she love, they can go travel and help a lot of ppl. I just want both Cloud and Aerith to be happy
@@yuukiasuna4186 I hope so! I love Clerith so much❤️❤️ Clerith fans are now more increasing... But I'm still afraid that Aerith won't survive too this time... I hope she will survive...
This was beautifully made and really shows Cloud's feelings. The connection he has with Aeris is real, the love they have for each other is real and finally is given the attention it deserves in the Remake. From the OG to every spin-off and cameo and now this masterpiece of the Remake, it's their love that shines through. Now and always, they'll find each other.
Did you draw all of these?! I am speechless...this is AMAZING I knew it, Hollow is Cloud's song for Aerith. All the lyrics just suit them well. You are dangerously tallented 👏👏
You have to save your beloved this time, you just have to. And if not, we will see an incredibly sad and very beautiful scene , and it will be much more emotional than in the original . I am sure that if she dies again , Clerith will have a lot more fans, because real emotions will be shown, and how he really loved her.
@@blackcid I won't be angry because I respect the plot of the original, and before for me Clerith has always been love through death and life, but now, when there is a chance, I want a happy ending for them. Please
@@НикитаСимонян-ж5е We all respect the plot of the orginal however the whole trilogy seems to be about saving her like when you listen to the lyrics sure it's Cloud's perspective but the end of the song basically confirms it's AC Cloud's perspective and throughout the game as we know sephiroth and Aerith basically time traveled and when she touched Cloud he saw the whispers bur only threats to fate can see them unless Warrented but they clearly didn't want him to see them this further supported by Cloud getting a vision of the plate falling essentially what I'm saying is the song is the story we know and game continues that tale with AC Cloud being inside of Cloud's body trying to show him the future in the hopes of changing fate and saving this is supported by Cloud being stronger than he currently should be and when he landed in the church another Cloud was talking to him instead of Zack who was the one talking to him in the orginal if you go in the files and reactivate to trigger for that part of OG game and not to mention this Cloud says a couple different things than Zack would have said and when Cloud ask who he is before he can answer sephiroth stops him and hijacks Cloud's hijacking because wanted Cloud to be on his side so he could take hid body in the end but it didn't worked. To further prove every future vision Cloud keeps getting has a somber color around it opposed the greenish blue color his past memories have the color difference is noticeable unless you focus on it but it's there and when you fight the whispers he gets the Somber color and sees more glimpse of her death reusing scenes from AC and his head yet again hurts unlike when they all see the vision of red running to Midgar meaning someone was showing those 3 visions just like in ch8. Basically the story of the trilogy from what I can tell is about a man who lost someone precious someone he cared for so much and regretted being able save and continued to blame himself because it would be okay as long as they weren't physically there but that man's soul found it's way to them and traveled back in time with them only to hop into his past self in an effort to change the future to fight fate and chase his dream instead of the dream of an old friend. In remake the whispers are basically the fans who want things to stay the same and AC Cloud who keeps trying to warn and aid Cloud the only way he can is basically the fans who want then to change the future and have their happy ending and the final whisper fight was the last obstacle the final guardian from the end of the timeline the followers of sephiroth Rubrum, Virdid and Creo. Once we win we basically gave the timeline a redo button hence the abbreviation "Re" and the singularity was balanced out by creating a FF7B timeline parallel to the main one where Zack lived and in the final cutscence Zack senses Cloud and Cloud kinda reacts but not really as if he didn't make the reaction but someone else did and then Aerith walks away until basically saying her goodbye to her old friend and the orginal series of events. But sense that FF7B timeline was made from their actions it will eventually fade into the main timeline with Rebirth. I'd assume Rebirth is because of that Cloud is probably gonna merge with AC Cloud and become just Cloud Strife. We all love the orginal story but feel that nostalgia stops everyone from appreciating what this trilogy is trying to be it's basically FF10-2 to FF7 and AC something that wasn't originally intended as a sequel but became one due to the writer and creators love for the series and the countless years of wanting Aerith to live which is kinda beautiful. Tbh I would be surprised if the 3rd game is called Regenesis it would fit if she lives which is highly likely with theme they have going here. Edit: I should finish reading next time lol but I agree with you.
@@Supersonicblue1027 I heard that the creator or one of the creators said that he’s respecting the original plot just adding some stuff so that the game won’t be a 1-1 copy cause what’s the point of playing a game that you already know what’s gonna happen
Those who worked hard to make this video, you dont deserve a cookie you deserve the whole jar. I got teared up from the 1st minute. Just amazing #Clerith
The future of digital manga right here. I've always said if you can tell a story by showing it, you've got talent. But damn, you have portrayed these two so perfectly to the song, I'm gonna have to say - you have a gift!
This is Amazinf, i can’t explain how perfect this masterpiece is. the drawings, the meanings of every lyric and the og scenes made me so emotional i’m in love with this video
@@wisnupratama2422 I think yes, you can. But you have to give the credit to the original owner example like write his youtube channel name or something like that.
So yeah this is probably the best thing ive ever seen. Edit: it's been a month since I've discovered this fantastic video and I keep coming back to it. Edit 2: The remake trilogy better give Cloud and Aerith their happy ending i stg.
I shed tears when watching this MV..... Back when FF7 first released on PS1, me and my brother had such emotional trauma finishing the game. We somehow clung to the hope that we might revive Aerith at the end..... But no... = / So we cried like crazy at the end... T____T I truly hope we can get Cloud and Aerith together this time.....
An excellent video. It's so amazing and you guys did it perfectly. It intertwines Cloud and Aerith's past, present, and future. A beautiful and heartbreakingly sad couple in the Fantasy world. I've always loved Aerith and I also love the way Cloud always misses Aerith. Thank you for making the video so awesome.
Creo que no entendiste ni una palabra de lo dicho... Ella ya se fue hace mucho tiempo. La historia de Final Fantasy VII habla sobre la vida... Y es imposible hacer una obra de arte que hable sobre la vida, sin retratar la muerte.
@@elbuglione Eso no es un Remake pero un Reboot, o un Sequel como quieras. O sea, en toda la parte 1 se trata de luchar contra el destino (=el guión original del juego) y vencerlo. Todo ese mambo para terminar repitiendo la misma historia me parecería una verdadera perdida de tiempo para no decir otra cosa. O sea, ahora todo puede pasar en la parte 2. Por eso se llama "FF7 Rebirth" y no "FF7 Remake Part 2". La verdad que la idea me copa. Mas sabiendo que los creadores del original volvieron justamente para contar una version alternativa. Dejaron claro que nada en el OG es intocable, que el ff7 original fue como un "bad ending" porque no termino siendo el juego que querian hacer al principio. Fue como un compromiso dado el tiempo, el presupuesto de Squaresoft y la tecnologia en aquel momento. No sé si Aerith sobrevivirá al final de esta trilogía. Quizás zafe, quizás no. Personalmente creo que Cloud la salvará , o Cloud morirá junto con Aerith y los dos irán a la Tierra Prometida. Un final que la pegue con Hollow y el deseo de Cloud de no repetir la cronología de Advent Children.
@@Tsuki-Yomi Sabes cuál es el problema? Que nadie pidió una secuela... Lo único que se pedía era un Remake. Lo que pasa es que ellos sabían que una secuela no vendería tan bien como un Remake... Es por eso que le pusieron ese nombre. Tranquilamente se podrían comer un juicio por publicidad engañosa. Y no, no soy de esos que se quejan porque no "no estoy abierto a nuevas experiencias"... Si ellos quieren hacer un juego diferente, que lo hagan. Pero que dejen de querer robar con sus viejas glorias y que se dediquen A sacar un juego decente de una vez... Que hace casi dos décadas que no vemos un Final Fantasy decente. Decirlo como quieras... Final Fantasy VII ya está totalmente muerto para mí. Esperaré algún Remake de algún verdadero fan de la saga y eso será lo más cercano que estaremos a lo que todos pedimos desde hace décadas.
@@elbuglione Entiendo que no te guste. A mi me pasó lo mismo con TLOU2, me pareció una poqueria, no tenía nada que ver con la Part 1 y no quiero saber mas nada con esa licencia. Volviendo a FF7R, a mi hasta ahora me encanta el proyecto, de hecho, que no repitan la misma historia con esa idea de luchar contra el maldito destino me parece una idea copada. Le tengo fe xq volvió toda la dream team que trabajo en 1997. No se como sera la trilogía una vez terminada, ojalá te sorprenda, nos guste a todos (viejos y nuevos fans) y cambies de opinión :) En el peor de los casos, el OG siempre estará.
@@Tsuki-Yomi FF VII siempre fue considerado uno de los mejores de la historia, por su peculiar temática: La Vida. La muerte es parte de la Vida... Pretender salvar "milagrosamente" a todos los que morían en la versión original, es simplemente insultante. Ni que hablar de el asqueroso trato que se le dió a personajes tan emblemáticos cómo Sephiroth. Por otro lado, la versión original (claramente superior a esta o cualquier otra secuela/precuela), tiene un único y peculiar defecto propio de un juego de hace más de dos décadas y media de años (ese es el motivo motivo por el cual los VERDADEROS fans pedimos un Remake) No lo sé... Si se hubieran apegado a un remake, estaríamos hablando de algo realmente sublime.
you know what guys, I don't think she will die this time. I mean the remake is literally a REMAKE like they are retelling the story with changes. it's not a remake like retelling the story but with better graphics and gameplay, its retelling the story with changes, improving and recreating the story.
It would not change the fact that the Aerith we know for 25 years died so that would be 0 comfort but like cloning her. Also the lore more points to it not being in any way about literal time but about Sephiroth and Aerith remaking memorie so that Sephiroth cannot return/can return. it lines up with what Nojima-san established the last 18 years. If we just go by Cloud and Aerith for Hollow - we did not even need that. calling is also about Cloud and Aerith and talks about changing fate. And Calling is the ending song of the original version of Advent Children.
So is Aerith's. Before CC, in the original cut of Advent Children's ending credits, Aerith *is* waiting for Cloud to come in a yellow flower field. It doesn't get more direct than that.
A lot of us had that special girl, although they may not have died and passed away like Aerith. The memories of happier days with her, that one girl that used to flirt with us, doing everything together. Trained together at the same job, and getting to learn about each other, remembering how she used to softly tease us, by softly punching and kicking us, going to the movies and riding bikes together and etc. It is true, some good people never get that happy ending.
这个。。。太好了！ ありがとうございいます！すばらしい！ Absolutely fantastic. So beautiful, we appreciate your efforts in making this. You included the OG, AC and Remake. The amount of time you took to make must have been hard work. Thank you for this!
😍 incredible. What a beautiful video Clerith. In truth, you left me speechless. Thanks for making this video. Where it is clear that the song Hollow speaks of what he felt and feels about having lost Aerith. Thanks.🥺 #Clerith 🌸☁️
This is breathtaking ❤ the drawings are gorgeous, the artstyle fits perfectly with both the joyful and sad moments. I love Hollow's lyrics, and watching this video makes it even more obvious that it's dedicated from Cloud to none other than Aerith. To everyone involved in this video, thank you ❤
This perfectly shows what Hollow was really about. I'm crying so much 😭😭😭😭😭 I guess, just one thing, the end is not howling and howling, it's howling and hollow, but still, this is a masterpiece, I can't stop watching huhuhuhu
This video is amazing. How you capture the essence of the song perfectly is just incredible. Must have taken so long, awesome job ! Thank you for sharing Aerith and Cloud’s story will always be one of the most tear-jerking love story in game history.
I've been suck up by the FF7 universe once again and it gets me so emotional. I really love Aerith and Cloud's relationship and I think that they're meant to be with each other but it's not their time yet. Maybe their time is now, don't you think? There is a cut scene between one of their last boss battle (Whisper Harbinger) in the remake that shows Red XIII running, which was the ending scene of the OG and in that battle Red says, "(It's) a glimpse of tomorrow if we fail here today." But did they fail in that boss battle? No. Towards the end of the battle they showed Aerith's death scene that made me hope and believe that maybe she will not die this time around. Cloud saw Aerith's fate during that battle so now he knows what might happen. A cut scene after that boss battle also showed that Cloud asked Aerith where they were but Aerith just shook her head. Cloud then looked around him but then he heard Sephiroth say "I'm waiting, Cloud" and he immediately looked back at Aerith with confusion in his eyes, seeming like he think it was Aerith who said that. I think that scene is foreshadowing the things that will come next. Would Cloud realize these things before it's all too late? Would there be time for him to think this through so she would be in his embrace? And knowing what he knows now, will he be able to hold on to her and never let go? I hope so. This is just my interpretation and thoughts about the ending.
Noeme Divina I kinda agree with you. I really do think Cloud and Aerith are really meant to be with each other but it's not their time yet. Maybe you're right.Maybe this time...is the right time for them... permanently. I know that Aerith was Zack Girlfriend and Tifa has a crush on Cloud. But,if Cloud and Aerith are really meant to be together, then there's nothing we can do, because it's their destiny. If that's true lmaooooo. I'm just saying bruh. It's not like it's going to happen anyway...idk...will it? Btw what am I actually trying to say is... I know players could choose with who does Cloud is going to end up with. But okay this is just my opinion, I think SE should just let Cloud choose by himself. If players are the one who are going to choose, we doesn't really know which one Cloud really loves and his heart is truly belong to who? So I really want Cloud is the one who making the decision at the end about who's he going to end up with and not the players. We all fans have been lost for 24 years trying to debate which girls Cloud is truly in love with... so I guess THIS TIME .. CLOUD IS THE ONE WHO NEED TO MAKING HIS OWN DECISION AND NOT THE PLAYERS. When I said Cloud is the one who need to making the decision, yup...I meant Cloud himself...not the players. If by any chance, Cloud manages to save Aerith. Bruh...sorry if it's too far. I'm just sharing my opinion.
@@huh3085 I really hope so too, that they let Cloud choose for himself. Not just for his happiness (although I know this is just a video game) but also to end the ship wars that is happening around. But I must say that I root for Aerith and Cloud to be together, it's just the way it is. I think they just make the most sense. I mean they are both the most significant characters to the overall story, Aerith being the only Cetra and Cloud being the main protagonist. I love Zack, I love Tifa, hell I love every characters (yes, even Corneo - lowkey). It's just that Cloud, after everything he's been through, deserves to be happy and not miserable because of Aerith's death. It's just my opinion and thoughts. I hope this is their time. I hope he will never let her go this time.
@@noemedivina9526 I was chocking the part when you said that you also love Corneo character. Anyway, Yes I agree with you. Even though this is only a video game,but still...the feels are so.. very hard to explain. And also yes, the way that we can only end this ships war is SE should let Cloud making his own decisions and decide which girl he's truly in love with. But that's not the only reason why I want SE to let Cloud making his own decisions. It is because I also thinks that Aerith is the right girl for Cloud. I know I might sounds selfish now. Tifa is nice, she is very kind and also cares about Cloud. But Cloud and Aerith chemistry is much more stonger and when Cloud is with Aerith, it's like he's easily like to opening up more. Idk but Clerith is just so beautiful ship... there's so many ship that I've seen in my life, but Clerith is different 🥰. Their Love Story, Their Tragic Love Story, how Aerith dies and Cloud still can't get over it. He loves her not as just a friend but more than a friend. He still keep moving forward in his life but he will never forget about Aerith even after she dies. She might dies, but she will never die in his heart. She loves him, but she never showed that she did. But everyone makes mistakes in lives, Aerith's probably accidentally shows the signs that she's in love with Cloud too. There's something enchanting in Clerith that some or most people couldn't see...
@@huh3085 About Corneo, I can't believe I said that too lol. I don't like him his personality and his doings are just gross. I guess I just like the dialogue they gave him? Idk Cloud and Aerith's story is just timeless and magical. Without Aerith, he is just miserable. I mean if he loves Tifa, he would do everything he could to overcome whatever it is that is holding him back from loving her, in this case Aerith's death. Just from knowing that he can't let Aerith's death go and move on already gives us a lot of thoughts about his feelings. I believe that he loves Tifa but not as much as he loves Aerith. A lot of people think that Hollow is for Tifa, especially the CloTis, because there is a lyric that says, "Heal every wound, and make me hole." Tifa really did heal him (his memories), but she can't make him whole. It's still Aerith that he's looking for. He still wants to see her smile and hear her voice and he wanted her to hear him. And in AC, Aerith keeps coming to his mind and telling him things that somehow heals some of his wounds, some of his guilt, though not completely. Cloud needs Aerith to be complete. As I said earlier, he is miserable without her. I love them together and they deserve all the happiness in the planet.
Absolutely incredible. I keep coming back and watching this again--it's so beautiful and emotional and it really captures the images and thoughts in Hollow. Plus, the artwork is stunning and I can't stop looking at it. Amazing work!
I don't know but something says to me that in the last battle of FFVII rebirth Cloud and Aerith Will die togerher in a Sephiroth's final suicide attack (Like Minato and Kushina).
This is exactly what I think! I've seen so many theories since the remake came out on how it's all going to end, and all of them are really creative but most of them seem unlikely to happen, to me. But like you said, both Cloud and Aerith dying feels like a GENUINE possibility to me that could happen in the remake, ever since I finished it two years ago, especially because it would make a lot of sense for the main plot (Aerith dying like she did before to save the planet from Meteor, and Cloud dying this time to save the planet from Sephiroth, making sure that he is well and truly gone and cannot come back to threaten the planet again, like he did in AC). Cloud and Aerith would both be dead, but they would be together in their Promised Land, like Cloud wanted at the end of the OG game. It would be a super bittersweet ending and I would definitely cry my CloudXAerith tears, but ultimately it would be a fitting end for the FF7 compilation for me. But in the end, of course this is just a theory, so let's see what actually happens!!!
This is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! 😍😍 All the images were drawn soooo beautifully, and I love how well you illustrated all the different scenes from both games + movie, and matched it to the lyrics of the song~!! 🥺💙💙💙 Not gonna lie, it made me cry, too - it was THAT well done!! 😭💙
WOW, you nailed it! This rips my heart out to watch, but it explains so well why this is about Cloud's grief of losing Aerith. Thank you for making this!
This hits even harder after Rebirth 😭
IKR🥲
But Rebirth also gives us hope. Rebirth just have too many scenes where Cloud and Aerith hold each others' hands. I think it's no coincidence. We will see Cloud "hold Aerith's hand and never let her go".
We’ll get her back.
IKR! Listening to this again feels weird. First time I listended to this was in lockdown xD
We're getting her back, man. She's still alive in at least two realities. If I know my dude Cloud, he'll cross space and time for Aerith. He went to Kingdom Hearts looking for her; he showed up in Final Fantasy Tactics trying to find her. He's going to get this girl. *We are going to save Aerith - it's more important than any other goal.*
とても素敵な絵でした。クラウドとエアリスの事を良く表せてるな、と思いました。ただやっぱり悲しい歌、今度はクラウドにエアリスを守って欲しい、幸せになって欲しい
クラウドとエアリスに幸せになってほしいです。素敵なクラエア動画ありがとうございました！
This song really gets to my heart. Cloud always hid his feelings from everyone, and Aerith knew exactly how to break all the walls he tried to put between him and the world. She was there for him when he needs it. The bond both created could not be possibly broken; neither time nor death can vanish their feelings.
This song shows how Cloud is desperate to see Aerith again, while "No Promises to Keep" tells Cloud that Aerith will always wait for him in the after life where they won't be separated ever again. How beautiful that is!
That was beautifully said. Loved this comment
CA大法好！CLERITH FOREVER LOVE！！！クラエア最愛！！！
First remake game: Clerith song to end the game from Cloud's POV
2nd remake game: Clerith song to end the game from Aerith's POV
majority of western FF7 fans. Tifa & Zack are actually canon for Cloud & Aerith durrrrr. (you don't see this with the JP fans they're not delusional)
Well Zack is def not canon for Aertih, thats for sure. For the rest we will see in part 3
I am guessing that Part 3 theme song will be a duet cloud and aerith.
They explicitly tell otherwise. Directly. Three times. Plus made Hollow and NPtK. Yet. People keep denying it.
They're just trolls by now.
Tbf western Tifa fans don’t really play or like the game. They just come on RUclips to clip CT moments for their cringy tiktok edits. All they care about is aesthetics, that’s why they gagged over a rebound kiss while ignoring the context behind it💀
@@brodiewillis710 you know what square enix should just not give any optional thing for part-3 , only one ending- Cloud and Aerith.
Cause these optional fan servicing is damaging the narrative of the game.
I am very sure that developers truly want to focus on cloud and aerith but they are forced to add these fan servicing elements.
Like when the game awards trailer dropped one of the cloti fan went on attacking nojima in 'X', they don't deserve these fan service.
素敵な作品をありがとうございます
ただただふたりの幸せな世界を望みます
This is what Hollow is about
Cloud's love for Aerith 💖
Hollow lyrics - Clouds Theme FFVII REMAKE
[Verse 1]
I would be lost, drifting along
Floating up high time after time
And there you'd be shining brightly
Your smiling face to guide my way
Bloody and bruised, brought to my knees
When beaten down, when broken up
You would appear, reach out to me
Heal every wound and make me whole
[Pre-Chorus]
Was it all a dream, will I ever know?
Foolish and blind to everything
Had I realized, had I thought it through?
Would you be here in my embrace?
[Chorus]
Shine bright once more
Guide me to you
Smile bright once more
This time I will never let you go
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
With your every smile hiding something more
Dark mysteries lurking beneath
But I was consumed with this emptiness
This selfishness, this void to fill
See rock shows near Norfolk
Get tickets as low as $75

Hello

[Chorus]
Hear me once more
Show me your smile
This time for sure
I'll see the truth hidden inside your tears
But I, I know
That you're long gone
But I, I will
Go on howling and hollow
[Outro]
To never know
#clerith since 1997 ^.^
As soon as I heard this song I knew it was about Cloud’s feelings towards Aerith
Right? The lyrics perfectly tells how lost Cloud is for Aerith's death. All his guilt and regrets being told.
so obvious!😄
This song is Cloud lamenting Aerith's death him kicking himself for being unable to stop it
Back to this video after I finished Rebirth
And it really hurts 😭
Claerith forever!
The truth that Cloud and Aerith never end up together makes me feel so much pain.
Just because she's dying doesn't negate the fact that this is true love (
@@НикитаСимонян-ж5е True, why Tifa fans always think that Cloud loves Tifa? When every scene with Aerith is so pure and natural. Cloud loves Aerith, and Aerith feels the same way, but she was scared to admit it. Zack was her first love, but now she loves Cloud.
@@nekofreaks They confuse Cloud's childhood infatuation as love, They forget that Cloud now as an adult seemed to drift away from Tifa .
@@nekofreaks I don't think she was afraid to admit she was in love with Cloud. On a date in GS, everything is pretty obvious. She shows that she has feelings for Cloud, that he is very different from Zack. But she feels that something is wrong with him, so to see the real Cloud completely is her main desire. And from this it is obvious that she is in love with him
well, could be this time with the remake and all the defy destiny thing
You are gone. So suddenly. And I was never given the chance to fall out of love with you. Now I walk with these memories and feelings of our short time together impaled in my heart. Carrying them with no resolution in sight.
涙が溢れて止まらなくなる…この解釈好きです。クラウドとエアリスの色んな描写が一つ一つ丁寧で愛を感じる
Not this time. I'm coming to save you, Princess Cetra.
Love the visual distinction between the OG FF7 designs and the Remake designs to show the interconnectedness of both games.
I just discovered this 😭😭😭 It's so sad and beautiful ❤️
THE BIBBLE OF CLERITH
This is, by far the best interpretation of Hollow.
The ff7 rebirth theme song is about Aerith and some of the lyrics actually fits perfectly with Hollow 🥳
I love their chemistry so much, Cloud strikes me as a cold cocky brat at first so I didn't know if I ever develop any feelings for him, but as the game progress, Aerith shows me there are more to him than just the cool guy facade. And this song is just heart breaking, someone who never reveals his emotions, who looks like he doesn't give a shit about anything, is hurt so much from losing the sun of his life 😭 It's just so sad that he 'will go on howling and howling' 😭the last sentence of this song is like a declare from Cloud that he will never move on from Aerith.
If someone plays Crisis Core first, they would know that he wasn’t always that way. He had trauma from losing his mom and his friend. Dissidia Duodecim and Crisis Core were my first Final Fantasy games that I stumbled across and beat
Good news! In AC he has closure
@@agnerisortiz7808 yeah AC was made so Cloud's guilt can be lifted by Aerith, but he didn't move on in the end. I mean in the OG he already looking forward to meeting Aerith again in after life... this song really shows how much he missed her.
Meh I mean they would make great friends but this from my own perspective but I think tifa and cloud could work as a couple, but that's just my way of thinking
@@trazermoon5997 Tifa and Cloud strike me as good battle partners. I personally see no chemistry. Sure, Cloud has a crush on her but those two are terrible at communicating and opening up to each other in general.
To me, Aerith complements Cloud a lot. She's adventurous, expressive, and open about her feelings. That's what he needs in his life. She brings him out of his shell and I see a Cloud I never see around Tifa.
Wow, this really blew me away. The art style, the expression on their faces, everything. Especially the changing between the outfits of AC to Remake. Along with the song, I feel this video really shows Cloud’s heartbreak on losing Aerith. I sincerely hope when Remake is completed that Aerith survives or somehow, some way Cloud and Aerith end up together. I love them together as a couple and I love Cloud a bit more because of how delicate he is as a character. Aerith sees right through Cloud and understands how delicate he is too. I think it’s one of the reasons why Cloud fell in love with her. Without him saying much, Aerith can get a hint about what he wants to say. And that’s why I am so happy that Remake Cloud is not a self-insert type of character. He has his own feelings and thoughts on things. For example, he wants a say on loving Aerith!! Let me tell you, Cloud and Aerith’s relationship is so meaningful it brings me to tears. From Cloud “I don’t give a shit” Strife to Cloud “Learn to talk to her” Strife after meeting Aerith…Aahh, Cloud just develops so well. I question why people think this song is about Zack or Tifa. Sure, Zack died but let’s be real, he was only a minor character in OG. Not that I don’t like Zack, but yeah. And the song has romantic undertones so it wouldn’t make sense if it was about Zack. And Tifa isn’t dead simply put. She’s right there lol. And Cloud and Tifa’s relationship is another sad can of worms that I’m not trying to open under this video lol. But anyway, those who deny that Hollow isn’t about Aerith or say that Cloud didn’t fall in love with Aerith are just hurt that their ship isn’t given validation or the way they interpreted things isn’t like how they thought it was. I think it’s obvious Cloud is in love with Aerith (and vice versa 😉). Even if Remake project never continued, the only scene that mentions anything about romantic love is Cloud’s resolution/dream scene he has with Aerith. To end this long comment, good job on this amazing video!!! I watched it a few times now and I hope it gets the recognition it deserves!!! ☁️🎀❤️
I RELATE TO THIS ON A DEEPER LEVEL. Could and Aerith need to be together. I truly hope that Aerith'll be saved so she can be with Could💖
The sequel is already in development . FF7 Remake turned out to be very successful , that they even released DLC between parts . I hope for a great sequel, because my favorite part of the game begins after Midgar. Clerith forever
People who ship Clerith are the ones who care for Cloud and understand the character and want what is best for him.
De todas formas ayer pensaba, si cloud y los demas acabaron con esos fantasmas que hacian qie el destino se cumpliera, eso quiere decir que quiza aerith sobreviva y no se cumpla su destino de morir... aunque tambien ocurre que su novio zack tambien esta vivo, asi o vuelve con zack o zack ocupa el lugar de aerith? O de todas formas muere, a menos que en la segunda psrte se restaure el destino original
@@LCardosed92 This is the real truth . Cloti fans are fans of Tifa and her sexy body, they want all Tifa's wishes to come true no matter what. Clerith are fans of Cloud and Aerith . Cloud always wants to be with Aerith , that 's his wish . For example, I watched a stream of a fan of Cloti and moments with Aerith, he always said, No Cloud, you must be in love with Tifa. That is , they don 't care about his desire to be with Aerith . I watched a stream of Clerith fans and there are no such moments, no one was jealous of Clerith from Cloti moments, because they don't have romantic moments at all. This ship lives on the fact that they save each other , or where Cloud fell on her from the train ...
感動して大号泣しました。特に2:39のちびエアちゃんがクラウドに抱かれて今のエアリスになるところ最高です。今度こそ抱きしめて守って欲しい。悲しい運命と残酷なセトラの使命から解き放ってあげて欲しいです。
coming back to this masterpiece again after the release of the ff7r demo… cloud u better not letting her go this time
she’ll likely still die :(
@@CKainn I cannot imagine a ff7 without Aeriths death(
@@НикитаСимонян-ж5е yep, it needs to happen and it likely will
now we know for sure hollow is about her.
I wish you do another one for rebirth. This is the best video I've ever seen about clearth ❤.
This feels like so much more after Rebirth!!
This video is so good and Aerith is so happy when she is with cloud. I cried whenever I think this strong and cheerful girl who always think how brightly their future will be just don’t have the chance anymore. It’s brutal and realistic too. Not everyone will get happy ending, there are really a lot of person in this world that gone through so much but then loss their life especially during this 2 years due to the pandemic. Aerith is really the symbol of appreciation of life. I just hope that Aerith will have a chance to live, with Cloud that she love, they can go travel and help a lot of ppl. I just want both Cloud and Aerith to be happy
Yeahh me too ❤️
SE will never let it happen though, to many Clotif fans and Zarith fans. 🤧
@@mygirlfriendsgirlfriend.6592 I bet this time, clerith gonna be together. I believe in SE. ❤️
@@yuukiasuna4186 I hope so!
I love Clerith so much❤️❤️
Clerith fans are now more increasing...
But I'm still afraid that Aerith won't survive too this time...
I hope she will survive...
@@mygirlfriendsgirlfriend.6592 Yup, you're right. Aerith is destined for Zack. Plus Cloud & Tifa got busy under Cid's Highwind in disc 2.
hollow song is for Cloud to Aerith but No Promises to keep song is for Aerith to Cloud
clerith is always the best!😍😍😍
This was beautifully made and really shows Cloud's feelings. The connection he has with Aeris is real, the love they have for each other is real and finally is given the attention it deserves in the Remake. From the OG to every spin-off and cameo and now this masterpiece of the Remake, it's their love that shines through. Now and always, they'll find each other.
As the honeybee girls would say: “PERFECTION!”
Did you draw all of these?!
I am speechless...this is AMAZING
I knew it, Hollow is Cloud's song for Aerith. All the lyrics just suit them well. You are dangerously tallented 👏👏
Well said❤️
Just 1 word: Awesome!
A video showing all the content of the song.
A beautiful and heartbreakingly sad love song.
Always Cloud and Aerith.
Cloud knows that she is dead, but he cant accept it, that what this song was about...
You have to save your beloved this time, you just have to. And if not, we will see an incredibly sad and very beautiful scene , and it will be much more emotional than in the original . I am sure that if she dies again , Clerith will have a lot more fans, because real emotions will be shown, and how he really loved her.
They make a whole game about "changing fate" instead of a 1:1 remake. If now she dies again.. I will be really angry with FFVIIR authors >-(.
@@blackcid I won't be angry because I respect the plot of the original, and before for me Clerith has always been love through death and life, but now, when there is a chance, I want a happy ending for them. Please
@@blackcid This "fate" is not literal fate. Mark my words.
@@НикитаСимонян-ж5е We all respect the plot of the orginal however the whole trilogy seems to be about saving her like when you listen to the lyrics sure it's Cloud's perspective but the end of the song basically confirms it's AC Cloud's perspective and throughout the game as we know sephiroth and Aerith basically time traveled and when she touched Cloud he saw the whispers bur only threats to fate can see them unless Warrented but they clearly didn't want him to see them this further supported by Cloud getting a vision of the plate falling essentially what I'm saying is the song is the story we know and game continues that tale with AC Cloud being inside of Cloud's body trying to show him the future in the hopes of changing fate and saving this is supported by Cloud being stronger than he currently should be and when he landed in the church another Cloud was talking to him instead of Zack who was the one talking to him in the orginal if you go in the files and reactivate to trigger for that part of OG game and not to mention this Cloud says a couple different things than Zack would have said and when Cloud ask who he is before he can answer sephiroth stops him and hijacks Cloud's hijacking because wanted Cloud to be on his side so he could take hid body in the end but it didn't worked.
To further prove every future vision Cloud keeps getting has a somber color around it opposed the greenish blue color his past memories have the color difference is noticeable unless you focus on it but it's there and when you fight the whispers he gets the Somber color and sees more glimpse of her death reusing scenes from AC and his head yet again hurts unlike when they all see the vision of red running to Midgar meaning someone was showing those 3 visions just like in ch8.
Basically the story of the trilogy from what I can tell is about a man who lost someone precious someone he cared for so much and regretted being able save and continued to blame himself because it would be okay as long as they weren't physically there but that man's soul found it's way to them and traveled back in time with them only to hop into his past self in an effort to change the future to fight fate and chase his dream instead of the dream of an old friend. In remake the whispers are basically the fans who want things to stay the same and AC Cloud who keeps trying to warn and aid Cloud the only way he can is basically the fans who want then to change the future and have their happy ending and the final whisper fight was the last obstacle the final guardian from the end of the timeline the followers of sephiroth Rubrum, Virdid and Creo. Once we win we basically gave the timeline a redo button hence the abbreviation "Re" and the singularity was balanced out by creating a FF7B timeline parallel to the main one where Zack lived and in the final cutscence Zack senses Cloud and Cloud kinda reacts but not really as if he didn't make the reaction but someone else did and then Aerith walks away until basically saying her goodbye to her old friend and the orginal series of events.
But sense that FF7B timeline was made from their actions it will eventually fade into the main timeline with Rebirth. I'd assume Rebirth is because of that Cloud is probably gonna merge with AC Cloud and become just Cloud Strife.
We all love the orginal story but feel that nostalgia stops everyone from appreciating what this trilogy is trying to be it's basically FF10-2 to FF7 and AC something that wasn't originally intended as a sequel but became one due to the writer and creators love for the series and the countless years of wanting Aerith to live which is kinda beautiful. Tbh I would be surprised if the 3rd game is called Regenesis it would fit if she lives which is highly likely with theme they have going here.
Edit: I should finish reading next time lol but I agree with you.
@@Supersonicblue1027 I heard that the creator or one of the creators said that he’s respecting the original plot just adding some stuff so that the game won’t be a 1-1 copy cause what’s the point of playing a game that you already know what’s gonna happen
Wow!!!! I don't have any other words to describe it Wow!!! The imagery captured the song beautifully!
Those who worked hard to make this video, you dont deserve a cookie you deserve the whole jar. I got teared up from the 1st minute. Just amazing #Clerith
The future of digital manga right here. I've always said if you can tell a story by showing it, you've got talent. But damn, you have portrayed these two so perfectly to the song, I'm gonna have to say - you have a gift!
Cloud x aerith ❤
crying:'))))) this was so pretty i just want them to be happy man 😭
This is Amazinf, i can’t explain how perfect this masterpiece is. the drawings, the meanings of every lyric and the og scenes made me so emotional i’m in love with this video
Can i share on facebook and ig?
@@wisnupratama2422 I think yes, you can. But you have to give the credit to the original owner example like write his youtube channel name or something like that.
So yeah this is probably the best thing ive ever seen.
Edit: it's been a month since I've discovered this fantastic video and I keep coming back to it.
Edit 2: The remake trilogy better give Cloud and Aerith their happy ending i stg.
Btw #ClerithForever
Discovered it last night. Ive returned to it before breaking my fast. Ih no!
I shed tears when watching this MV..... Back when FF7 first released on PS1, me and my brother had such emotional trauma finishing the game. We somehow clung to the hope that we might revive Aerith at the end..... But no... = / So we cried like crazy at the end... T____T I truly hope we can get Cloud and Aerith together this time.....
Still a hit clerith post
An excellent video. It's so amazing and you guys did it perfectly. It intertwines Cloud and Aerith's past, present, and future. A beautiful and heartbreakingly sad couple in the Fantasy world. I've always loved Aerith and I also love the way Cloud always misses Aerith. Thank you for making the video so awesome.

"This time I will never let you go"
Vamos Cloud, esta vez la salvaremos.
Creo que no entendiste ni una palabra de lo dicho... Ella ya se fue hace mucho tiempo.
La historia de Final Fantasy VII habla sobre la vida... Y es imposible hacer una obra de arte que hable sobre la vida, sin retratar la muerte.
@@elbuglione Eso no es un Remake pero un Reboot, o un Sequel como quieras. O sea, en toda la parte 1 se trata de luchar contra el destino (=el guión original del juego) y vencerlo. Todo ese mambo para terminar repitiendo la misma historia me parecería una verdadera perdida de tiempo para no decir otra cosa. O sea, ahora todo puede pasar en la parte 2. Por eso se llama "FF7 Rebirth" y no "FF7 Remake Part 2". La verdad que la idea me copa. Mas sabiendo que los creadores del original volvieron justamente para contar una version alternativa. Dejaron claro que nada en el OG es intocable, que el ff7 original fue como un "bad ending" porque no termino siendo el juego que querian hacer al principio. Fue como un compromiso dado el tiempo, el presupuesto de Squaresoft y la tecnologia en aquel momento. No sé si Aerith sobrevivirá al final de esta trilogía. Quizás zafe, quizás no. Personalmente creo que Cloud la salvará , o Cloud morirá junto con Aerith y los dos irán a la Tierra Prometida. Un final que la pegue con Hollow y el deseo de Cloud de no repetir la cronología de Advent Children.
@@Tsuki-Yomi
Sabes cuál es el problema?
Que nadie pidió una secuela... Lo único que se pedía era un Remake.
Lo que pasa es que ellos sabían que una secuela no vendería tan bien como un Remake... Es por eso que le pusieron ese nombre.
Tranquilamente se podrían comer un juicio por publicidad engañosa.
Y no, no soy de esos que se quejan porque no "no estoy abierto a nuevas experiencias"... Si ellos quieren hacer un juego diferente, que lo hagan. Pero que dejen de querer robar con sus viejas glorias y que se dediquen A sacar un juego decente de una vez... Que hace casi dos décadas que no vemos un Final Fantasy decente.
Decirlo como quieras... Final Fantasy VII ya está totalmente muerto para mí.
Esperaré algún Remake de algún verdadero fan de la saga y eso será lo más cercano que estaremos a lo que todos pedimos desde hace décadas.
@@elbuglione Entiendo que no te guste. A mi me pasó lo mismo con TLOU2, me pareció una poqueria, no tenía nada que ver con la Part 1 y no quiero saber mas nada con esa licencia. Volviendo a FF7R, a mi hasta ahora me encanta el proyecto, de hecho, que no repitan la misma historia con esa idea de luchar contra el maldito destino me parece una idea copada. Le tengo fe xq volvió toda la dream team que trabajo en 1997. No se como sera la trilogía una vez terminada, ojalá te sorprenda, nos guste a todos (viejos y nuevos fans) y cambies de opinión :) En el peor de los casos, el OG siempre estará.
@@Tsuki-Yomi
FF VII siempre fue considerado uno de los mejores de la historia, por su peculiar temática: La Vida.
La muerte es parte de la Vida... Pretender salvar "milagrosamente" a todos los que morían en la versión original, es simplemente insultante.
Ni que hablar de el asqueroso trato que se le dió a personajes tan emblemáticos cómo Sephiroth.
Por otro lado, la versión original (claramente superior a esta o cualquier otra secuela/precuela), tiene un único y peculiar defecto propio de un juego de hace más de dos décadas y media de años (ese es el motivo motivo por el cual los VERDADEROS fans pedimos un Remake)
No lo sé... Si se hubieran apegado a un remake, estaríamos hablando de algo realmente sublime.
Square Give them a happy ending in a different timeline just fucking do it is been 27 years they deserved it
This is amazing, you are very talented. They belong together.
you know what guys, I don't think she will die this time. I mean the remake is literally a REMAKE like they are retelling the story with changes. it's not a remake like retelling the story but with better graphics and gameplay, its retelling the story with changes, improving and recreating the story.
It would not change the fact that the Aerith we know for 25 years died so that would be 0 comfort but like cloning her. Also the lore more points to it not being in any way about literal time but about Sephiroth and Aerith remaking memorie so that Sephiroth cannot return/can return. it lines up with what Nojima-san established the last 18 years. If we just go by Cloud and Aerith for Hollow - we did not even need that. calling is also about Cloud and Aerith and talks about changing fate. And Calling is the ending song of the original version of Advent Children.
Bro this song just got a whole new meaning- 😮😢 Now this song is an Aerith and Cloud song
it was always aerith and cloud song lol
@@НикитаСимонян-ж5еXD Now I know ❤
Always has been
Seriously great edit and art here. This is now my official "Hollow" music video and what is on the playlist!
Wow, very well done.
We baaically have a Hollow Music Video now.
You captured all of the symbolism the song holds ❤ Beautiful job!
I just have beaten Final Fantasy Remake and I loved it! I actually needed this song along with Cloud X Aerith! This is so amazing!😭🖤❤️
支持一下！
I love my starcrossed lovers cloud and Aerith 🥺💔
I love this couple
I so want them to get married, and have children!
When I tell you I cried so hard they deserve a happy ending in the remake and I believe they are gonna get it 💝🤍
Same
Trusting the algorithm to bring me back once they make one for No Promises To Keep....
I need an Aerith in life.
Yes
So is Aerith's. Before CC, in the original cut of Advent Children's ending credits, Aerith *is* waiting for Cloud to come in a yellow flower field. It doesn't get more direct than that.
A lot of us had that special girl, although they may not have died and passed away like Aerith. The memories of happier days with her, that one girl that used to flirt with us, doing everything together. Trained together at the same job, and getting to learn about each other, remembering how she used to softly tease us, by softly punching and kicking us, going to the movies and riding bikes together and etc. It is true, some good people never get that happy ending.
Cloud,you're the chosen one!Now,go and save Aerith!Do what Zack can't do!
The art design and story telling matches perfectly with the lyrics, really brings the song to life Kudos
THIS IS PERFECT
这个。。。太好了！
ありがとうございいます！すばらしい！
Absolutely fantastic. So beautiful, we appreciate your efforts in making this. You included the OG, AC and Remake. The amount of time you took to make must have been hard work. Thank you for this!
This time..don't let her go Cloud TT~TT
OH MY GOD I'M CRYING SO MUCH. This is amazing, everything looks so beautiful and fits the song perfectly. Thank you for all the hard work!!
😍 incredible. What a beautiful video Clerith. In truth, you left me speechless. Thanks for making this video. Where it is clear that the song Hollow speaks of what he felt and feels about having lost Aerith. Thanks.🥺 #Clerith 🌸☁️
This is really amazing! The song really captures the loss of Cloud over Aerith's destiny. This is beautiful and sad.
This is breathtaking ❤ the drawings are gorgeous, the artstyle fits perfectly with both the joyful and sad moments. I love Hollow's lyrics, and watching this video makes it even more obvious that it's dedicated from Cloud to none other than Aerith. To everyone involved in this video, thank you ❤
This perfectly shows what Hollow was really about. I'm crying so much 😭😭😭😭😭
I guess, just one thing, the end is not howling and howling, it's howling and hollow, but still, this is a masterpiece, I can't stop watching huhuhuhu
I had to watch this again after this last trailer for Rebirth. No promises to keep. 😭😢
I have 77 love songs just for her...
This vocalist is absolutely killing it, incredible work. Such raw emotion in the final stanzas!
This video is amazing. How you capture the essence of the song perfectly is just incredible.
Must have taken so long, awesome job !
Thank you for sharing
Aerith and Cloud’s story will always be one of the most tear-jerking love story in game history.
Why do I do this to myself? I need to stop watching these types of videos 😭😭
Amazing work! This time Cloud will save her!
I have 2 things to say.
1: This art is beautiful
2: as a drummer the fill at 4:22 gets me every time
love it
This is perfection
so beautifuuuul, so amaziing, gosh love every second
I've been suck up by the FF7 universe once again and it gets me so emotional. I really love Aerith and Cloud's relationship and I think that they're meant to be with each other but it's not their time yet. Maybe their time is now, don't you think?
There is a cut scene between one of their last boss battle (Whisper Harbinger) in the remake that shows Red XIII running, which was the ending scene of the OG and in that battle Red says, "(It's) a glimpse of tomorrow if we fail here today." But did they fail in that boss battle? No. Towards the end of the battle they showed Aerith's death scene that made me hope and believe that maybe she will not die this time around. Cloud saw Aerith's fate during that battle so now he knows what might happen.
A cut scene after that boss battle also showed that Cloud asked Aerith where they were but Aerith just shook her head. Cloud then looked around him but then he heard Sephiroth say "I'm waiting, Cloud" and he immediately looked back at Aerith with confusion in his eyes, seeming like he think it was Aerith who said that. I think that scene is foreshadowing the things that will come next.
Would Cloud realize these things before it's all too late? Would there be time for him to think this through so she would be in his embrace? And knowing what he knows now, will he be able to hold on to her and never let go? I hope so.
This is just my interpretation and thoughts about the ending.
Noeme Divina
I kinda agree with you.
I really do think Cloud and Aerith are really meant to be with each other but it's not their time yet. Maybe you're right.Maybe this time...is the right time for them... permanently.
I know that Aerith was Zack Girlfriend and Tifa has a crush on Cloud.
But,if Cloud and Aerith are really meant to be together, then there's nothing we can do, because it's their destiny. If that's true lmaooooo. I'm just saying bruh. It's not like it's going to happen anyway...idk...will it?
Btw what am I actually trying to say is...
I know players could choose with who does Cloud is going to end up with.
But okay this is just my opinion,
I think SE should just let Cloud choose by himself. If players are the one who are going to choose, we doesn't really know which one Cloud really loves and his heart is truly belong to who?
So I really want Cloud is the one who making the decision at the end about who's he going to end up with and not the players. We all fans have been lost for 24 years trying to debate which girls Cloud is truly in love with...
so I guess THIS TIME .. CLOUD IS THE ONE WHO NEED TO MAKING HIS OWN DECISION AND NOT THE PLAYERS.
When I said Cloud is the one who need to making the decision, yup...I meant Cloud himself...not the players.
If by any chance, Cloud manages to save Aerith.
Bruh...sorry if it's too far. I'm just sharing my opinion.
@@huh3085 I really hope so too, that they let Cloud choose for himself. Not just for his happiness (although I know this is just a video game) but also to end the ship wars that is happening around. But I must say that I root for Aerith and Cloud to be together, it's just the way it is. I think they just make the most sense. I mean they are both the most significant characters to the overall story, Aerith being the only Cetra and Cloud being the main protagonist. I love Zack, I love Tifa, hell I love every characters (yes, even Corneo - lowkey). It's just that Cloud, after everything he's been through, deserves to be happy and not miserable because of Aerith's death.
It's just my opinion and thoughts. I hope this is their time. I hope he will never let her go this time.
@@noemedivina9526 I was chocking the part when you said that you also love Corneo character.
Anyway, Yes I agree with you. Even though this is only a video game,but still...the feels are so.. very hard to explain.
And also yes, the way that we can only end this ships war is SE should let Cloud making his own decisions and decide which girl he's truly in love with. But that's not the only reason why I want SE to let Cloud making his own decisions. It is because I also thinks that Aerith is the right girl for Cloud. I know I might sounds selfish now. Tifa is nice, she is very kind and also cares about Cloud. But Cloud and Aerith chemistry is much more stonger and when Cloud is with Aerith, it's like he's easily like to opening up more. Idk but Clerith is just so beautiful ship... there's so many ship that I've seen in my life, but Clerith is different 🥰. Their Love Story, Their Tragic Love Story, how Aerith dies and Cloud still can't get over it. He loves her not as just a friend but more than a friend. He still keep moving forward in his life but he will never forget about Aerith even after she dies. She might dies, but she will never die in his heart. She loves him, but she never showed that she did. But everyone makes mistakes in lives, Aerith's probably accidentally shows the signs that she's in love with Cloud too.
There's something enchanting in Clerith that some or most people couldn't see...
@@huh3085 About Corneo, I can't believe I said that too lol. I don't like him his personality and his doings are just gross. I guess I just like the dialogue they gave him? Idk
Cloud and Aerith's story is just timeless and magical. Without Aerith, he is just miserable. I mean if he loves Tifa, he would do everything he could to overcome whatever it is that is holding him back from loving her, in this case Aerith's death. Just from knowing that he can't let Aerith's death go and move on already gives us a lot of thoughts about his feelings. I believe that he loves Tifa but not as much as he loves Aerith.
A lot of people think that Hollow is for Tifa, especially the CloTis, because there is a lyric that says, "Heal every wound, and make me hole." Tifa really did heal him (his memories), but she can't make him whole. It's still Aerith that he's looking for. He still wants to see her smile and hear her voice and he wanted her to hear him. And in AC, Aerith keeps coming to his mind and telling him things that somehow heals some of his wounds, some of his guilt, though not completely.
Cloud needs Aerith to be complete. As I said earlier, he is miserable without her. I love them together and they deserve all the happiness in the planet.
@@huh3085 Wait but Cloud is Nojima right?
i watch this everyday, you are extremely talented!
I hope you can make a similar one for the new themesong which is again a Clerith one!
I totally second this.
泣けました😭😭
初めてFF7のファンアート動画を見たのですが、イラストの綺麗さや、ストーリー性等本当に素敵でした^_^
Thank you for your hard work.This is so amazing and painful, my heart broken ;___;
Cloud this time pls save Aerith and smile together.
イラスト一つ一つが丁寧で、すごく深くて悲しく美しく泣けました……
Es demasiado hermoso ♡
OP, you have no idea how many times I've watched this. This is a masterpiece. I really love Hollow, and of course, Cloud and Aerith! 💖
Amazingly incredible isn't enough to describe this masterpiece
Absolutely incredible. I keep coming back and watching this again--it's so beautiful and emotional and it really captures the images and thoughts in Hollow. Plus, the artwork is stunning and I can't stop looking at it. Amazing work!
I remember watching her die...I literally felt pain for like 1 year even if she's not real. This time go and save her Cloud.
Cloud you have to save her, I don't want to see you suffering again
What a masterpiece! This still beautifully painful😭
I don't know but something says to me that in the last battle of FFVII rebirth Cloud and Aerith Will die togerher in a Sephiroth's final suicide attack
(Like Minato and Kushina).
This is exactly what I think! I've seen so many theories since the remake came out on how it's all going to end, and all of them are really creative but most of them seem unlikely to happen, to me. But like you said, both Cloud and Aerith dying feels like a GENUINE possibility to me that could happen in the remake, ever since I finished it two years ago, especially because it would make a lot of sense for the main plot (Aerith dying like she did before to save the planet from Meteor, and Cloud dying this time to save the planet from Sephiroth, making sure that he is well and truly gone and cannot come back to threaten the planet again, like he did in AC).
Cloud and Aerith would both be dead, but they would be together in their Promised Land, like Cloud wanted at the end of the OG game. It would be a super bittersweet ending and I would definitely cry my CloudXAerith tears, but ultimately it would be a fitting end for the FF7 compilation for me. But in the end, of course this is just a theory, so let's see what actually happens!!!
This is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! 😍😍 All the images were drawn soooo beautifully, and I love how well you illustrated all the different scenes from both games + movie, and matched it to the lyrics of the song~!! 🥺💙💙💙 Not gonna lie, it made me cry, too - it was THAT well done!! 😭💙
WOW, you nailed it! This rips my heart out to watch, but it explains so well why this is about Cloud's grief of losing Aerith. Thank you for making this!
PLEASE TSUKUMO!!! PLEASE RISE FROM THE DEAD AND MAKE AN ANIMATIC FOR NO PROMISES TO KEEP!!! PLEASE
