This is probably my favorite moment of the game. Game: Final Fantasy VII (Final Fantasy 7, FF7, FFVII) System: Playstation (PSX) Genre: Role-playing game (RPG)
Such a powerful scene. The realisation that his dad wasn't a coward but saved everyone. Then hearing his son acknowledge this and shed tears... I'm done.
I feel like this is a unique scene too, let's think about it, how often is a character's thoughts and beliefs completely shattered by a truth that they never believed in? In this manner specifically? How many characters in these stories go their whole lives believing something that's wrong to deeply regret it when they find out the truth? How many characters are changed and shaped in a way like this? It's hard to make unique characters after our years of history on the Earth but this is actually pretty unique in addition to being the saddest scene in FFVII. I know people talk about Aerith's death all the time, but I know for most of us here, this scene hits much harder than that does.
I think this scene is the greatest in FF7 and of any game I've ever played. Nanaki is son to the great warrior Seto and chooses the same suicide mission as his father, but this time it is to help Cloud and his friends save the planet from dying. That's also why the ending is so unbelievably great. I choose to think that Cloud is a minor character and that the main protagonist is really Nanaki. That's also why I choose to have him in most every party formation. Also, "Nanaki is Nanaki."
When I was little and played the scene for the 1st time i had no idea what that was lol. I drew the conclusion that it was the Seraph Comb falling to Nanaki lol
Anyone's who's lost their father prematurely feels this scene even more. I lost my dad earlier this year and I think he gave me a sign that he's still around recently. So this scene is pretty heavy, and the music is touching. They don't make games like this anymore, only other one I can think of is Metal Gear Solid from 1998.
You have to appreciate how in the early FF games, they only broke out character voices for the feels. Kefka's laugh. Nanaki's howl. Rinoa's scream. The choir chanting Sephiroth's name.
Always has made me tear up as well... 13 when I first played this... 39 now. It gets me every time. :) I write this now as I have a tear running down my cheek!

No one is saying this in the comments and I want it to be heard and seen. Your father's sacrifice so much for you. That's the main reason why this scene hits so hard. Because a father is a protector through and through and he will do it even if not given the title. Nanaki finally saw that

What's really sad about this is when I think about what Nanaki's mother must have gone through after that battle with the GI... Having to bite her tongue (metaphorically speaking) and listen to her son call her mate a coward and having to keep the truth a secret must have been really tough....

I remember playing this when I was little, and this scene completely took me by surprise, it really moved me. It's amazing how invested you get in these characters, even though they look so unrealistic. I loved the other FF's but this is the only one that actually got emotional reactions out of me :)

It's actually FF7-2, not a remake. Sephiroth sees himself get defeated in the original FF7, and is working to prevent that in the "remake". That makes it a sequel in my opinion, an echo of an already existing timeline.
Man the music for each character is genius! Each piece of music per character is truly memorable, to include the characters themselves and their backstory.

Cid and Seto's story always make me depressed. Even though fiction, they're perhaps the most accurate symbol of true sacrifice. Enlightening to think these stories may have changed some people since youth to see certain situations in one's life differently.

I generally enjoyed Rebirth. But this scene is greater here because despite obviously looking not up to date, it depicts Nanaki and Bugenhagen's emotions much better. Especially the latter's since he's not doubting his knowledge of the world, but trying to do as much as he can to save it, even if it's pointless. Not to mention that only two characters are in this scene, not the whole damn party checking how Seto sheds a tear.
I never cried when old yeller died. I never cried when mufassa in the lion king died. I never cried anytime during the entire play through of FFX. I never cried even when Aeris died... But this scene got me for some reason. I wanted to crawl through the TV like the girl from "The Ring" just to give Nanaki a hug. I cant even imagine what this scene in the remake would be like, i hope they keep it in the game.

The scene is so powerful. I think I really fell in love with this game at this moment. Some fathers out there are looked at in such a negative light due to rumors and misunderstandings...while trying their best to give their family a better life. Red 13 hated his father for a long time because of the stories that was told to him. That moment in Gi cave he realized Seto's love for him and his mother was beyond measure. It's so sad when the real heros die alone.

I just started playing ff7, the first final fantasy game I've ever played. Just made it to this scene. Never thought I'd shed a tear over the story behind an obvious polygon, but here we are.
Just passed this part in the game last night, after not playing this game for 20 years... Almost teared up myself when Nanaki's (Red XIII's) stone father started crying. This game is absolutely timeless.

This was the scene my 13 year old self found saddest when this game came out. Still is, forget Aeris dying, Seto crying materia tears will always be the saddest scene.
There's something about this original score that is so much more powerful than the Remake's. I like most of the redone score, but the originals can't be touched. It's like their simplicity and the sound of the midi format just creates something special and unique.
I really hope later on in the remake, they'll make justice to this scene. It's so moving and well done. This is one of the reasons Red XIII or Nanaki will always be one of my favourite characters of the game.
Favorite scene in the entire game, with my favorite character in the entire game. THIS was the moment I realized why FF7 was more than just another Final Fantasy game
People always talk about how Aerith's death impacted them the most. For me, this was that moment. I remember playing the game blind 5 years ago in 2017 when I was 16. FF7 was always my moms favourite in the franchise so I thought to give it a try and when I got to this part I just started crying. This is why Red XIII/Nanaki will always be one of my favourite characters in the game.
This might be my first exposure to the "We are doomed to fail and will die... but let try anyway" trope This shit is the sort of stuff that keeps me going
I just played this part of the game and let me just say, this is one of the more underrated parts I rarely hear get talked about. Nanaki his whole life believed his father abandoned him and his mother and had nothing but hate towards him. When he found out he was fighting off the Gi Tribe and was never able to return, he changed and it already made him a great character. I know it’s easy for me to say cause I’m such a fanboy of Nanaki, but this moment genuinely made me love his character. After this whole revelation, he’s determined to carry one his father’s legacy and that makes it so much beautiful. The way Seto sheds tears made me believe he was still alive and hearing every word his own son was saying and was proud. Nanaki surely has grown not physically, but mentally. I’m just hoping this scene will show in the second part of the remake and hoping they do it justice with the hardware and graphics they have. If it does happen, I’m probably gonna cry. Definitely a scene worth remembering imo.
It's not sad! Nanaki's shame at his father's treason has been replaced with a pride in his father's bravery and selflessness. Seto's sorrow at knowing his son will forever curse his name has been replaced with the pride that his son now reveres and honours his memory. Emotional, yes. But sad? No, this was an awesome moment for Seto and Nanaki :-)
The sad part is yet to come, imagine being able to live 500 to 1000 years and having to see everyone or thing you ever cared about die or get destroyed repeatedly. Vincent probably wouldn't give him the time or day.

One of most heartbreaking moments in game history (death of Aerith is number one for sure)...
😭
@@OneBoredCatbug This definitely isn't the only one, but it's not always a positive scene.
Everyone talks about Aeris' death as the saddest moment in the game, but this scene is a really close second. Like really close.
To me, Aerith's death was meh. It's probably because I didn't care about the character in the first place. I think RedXIII's part is the saddest.

Nanaki is son to the great warrior Seto and chooses the same suicide mission as his father, but this time it is to help Cloud and his friends save the planet from dying.

Yeah, I agree completely. It's also really great how much Barrett loves Marlene. FF7 is a masterpiece with some really great characters.
Benjamin Ladd Barret cares for her allot. It did show he also cared for his best friend.
Everyone also forgets Cid and Cera.

Having to bite her tongue (metaphorically speaking) and listen to her son call her mate a coward and having to keep the truth a secret must have been really tough....
Big Leo No she died on the same day
This scene can make a man shed a tear,
It made me tear up a bit. Anyone's who's lost their father prematurely feels this scene even more. I lost my dad earlier this year and I think he gave me a sign that he's still around recently.

I remember playing this when I was little, and this scene completely took me by surprise, it really moved me. It's amazing how invested you get in these characters, even though they look so unrealistic. I loved the other FF's but this is the only one that actually got emotional reactions out of me :)

one of the most powerful and heart wrenching moments of video game history. Fricken love it

Can't wait to see how they do this scene in the remake.
They probably say he never died and take away all the character development like they are doing now
@@w0Mbol0Gy WTF they have lots of character development lol
The remake scene will have a motorbike chase 🤣
You will have to wait for and buy dlc #14 to find out!
It's actually FF7-2, not a remake. Sephiroth sees himself get defeated in the original FF7, and is working to prevent that in the "remake". That makes it a sequel in my opinion, an echo of an already existing timeline.
Man the music for each character is genius! Each piece of music per character is truly memorable, to include the characters themselves and their backstory.
I played it about 20y ago and I still cry watching it. LOL

Jenova: Happy mother's day
Seto: Happy father's day
The Scene,The Mood,The Music,The Feels. this is why Final Fantasy 7 cannot be surpassed.

Cid and Seto's story always make me depressed. Even though fiction, they're perhaps the most accurate symbol of true sacrifice. Enlightening to think these stories may have changed some people since youth to see certain situations in one's life differently.

I remember playing this when I was young, I didn't understand any of it. But when I played it again, this part made me cry the fuck out. Damn.

Literally only two video game scenes made me cry: the Raine & Laguna scene at the ending of FF8 and this masterpiece of a scene here. Square Soft were sure able to craft some magic back in the day.

lol I still get emotional over this scene. Something about this story that really had you invested in the characters and what they were experiencing.

I generally enjoyed Rebirth. But this scene is greater here because despite obviously looking not up to date, it depicts Nanaki and Bugenhagen's emotions much better. Especially the latter's since he's not doubting his knowledge of the world, but trying to do as much as he can to save it, even if it's pointless.
Not to mention that only two characters are in this scene, not the whole damn party checking how Seto sheds a tear.
Rebirth chapter 10 onwards absolutely sucked imo. But anyway, I'm here to enjoy this wonderful moment and track from OG ❤
I never cried when old yeller died.
I never cried when mufassa in the lion king died.
I never cried anytime during the entire play through of FFX.
I never cried even when Aeris died...
But this scene got me for some reason. I wanted to crawl through the TV like the girl from "The Ring" just to give Nanaki a hug. I cant even imagine what this scene in the remake would be like, i hope they keep it in the game.

@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews Metal Gear was a great game. I'm still baffled how psycho mantis was able to guess the games I play by reading the memory card.
I didn't cry when Aerith died.
But this...
Also, dude, I have like 99 Softs in my inventory...
this scene is so powerful, it always makes me weep every time I see it -- and I haven't played this game in a long time, but even now this scene brings me to tears
15 years later since its release im 26 and that scene still chokes me up
The scene is so powerful. I think I really fell in love with this game at this moment. Some fathers out there are looked at in such a negative light due to rumors and misunderstandings...while trying their best to give their family a better life.
Red 13 hated his father for a long time because of the stories that was told to him. That moment in Gi cave he realized Seto's love for him and his mother was beyond measure.
It's so sad when the real heros die alone.

This scene always gives me the chills
This is such a gorgeous scene.
This is gonna be absolutely heartbreaking in ff7 rebirth
who loves this scene too? i never cry, but this made me drop tears!
This scene in HD, even after all these years I'm not gonna be ready for this in the remakes
1 more month waiting for us to cry again.
And...here come the man-tears.
I still weep at this scene
Final Fantasy VII has so many moments that makes you cry. This is one of them.
If this scene still makes me cry in the remake, then it will have been a successful remake.
This and when Tidus finds out what really happens to Yuma after her pilgrimage is two of those heart aching story elements
Nanaki
All his life thought of his dad as a coward to find out he has been redeemed as the most bravest warrior and even to this day he fights off the GI as he sheds a tear finally hearing his son being honored by his lineage
Yuna* 👀
SetTheFallen clearly captain obvious but the spell check wanted it to be “Yuma” so bad
@@w0Mbol0Gy Yuna* 👀
This is why ff7 is (imo) the best of the series,man the feels 😭
Never, ever, fails to make me cry.
Dammit… ❤️
Years later and I still can't do this without crying
Been well over a decade since i played this game and the second i heard the music it released some deep seeded emotion from long ago.. Choked me up...
man im getting legit goosebumps all over
This scene is part of my childhood, good stuff
This scene always gets me too. But on a side note, I just wish I could have collected all that materia that Seto was crying....
Damn that song is amazing.
Nanaki ❤ Sometimes I can't stop to cry when I see this scene
Nanaki realizing his father was a hero😖bugenhagen talking about being old and not being around much longer 😫seto crying and nanaki howling😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭I’m a mes
This..... this scene.... breaks me down every time. 💔
I just started playing ff7, the first final fantasy game I've ever played. Just made it to this scene. Never thought I'd shed a tear over the story behind an obvious polygon, but here we are.
@kingbadmovie its always about the story and music,not graphics.
@@paulsmith9192 very true
Beautiful
I hope they include this scene in the remake
Best game all of time ever made. And i was teenager for discovered this. 🥰
Made it to :48 before the damned onions got me.
Just passed this part in the game last night, after not playing this game for 20 years... Almost teared up myself when Nanaki's (Red XIII's) stone father started crying. This game is absolutely timeless.

This was the scene my 13 year old self found saddest when this game came out. Still is, forget Aeris dying, Seto crying materia tears will always be the saddest scene.
This is the most heart wrenching scene in the whole game!
There's something about this original score that is so much more powerful than the Remake's. I like most of the redone score, but the originals can't be touched. It's like their simplicity and the sound of the midi format just creates something special and unique.
The original game story wise is better than remake.
Always cry in this part... really the best one!
OG Seto scene > rebirth
I really hope later on in the remake, they'll make justice to this scene. It's so moving and well done.
This is one of the reasons Red XIII or Nanaki will always be one of my favourite characters of the game.
Favorite scene in the entire game, with my favorite character in the entire game. THIS was the moment I realized why FF7 was more than just another Final Fantasy game
@eli eddy wonder if in part 2 if we can finally cure Seto of his curse? I've always wondered how was able to cry if he's turned to stone?
The greatest game ever. I mean it. Uematsu-san at his best.
People always talk about how Aerith's death impacted them the most. For me, this was that moment. I remember playing the game blind 5 years ago in 2017 when I was 16. FF7 was always my moms favourite in the franchise so I thought to give it a try and when I got to this part I just started crying. This is why Red XIII/Nanaki will always be one of my favourite characters in the game.
Damn, it gets me everytime...
This scene I cried more at than the Aeris shock death. Brave Seto and poor RedXIII. Okay imma just gonna cry agen
This is one of my favorite scenes in the whole game
Over two decades later and this shit still brings me to tears.
God there’s so many scenes I’m not ready to see in the remake and this one is one of them
I'm not looking forward to this part in the remake.
;_;
+Somni HD yeah same here...but this scene in new version may cause a flood in my house=P
It will be completely overdone and shit or they will skip it
Ne neither. I'm not sure I have enough tears to cry.
Doubt the remake will have it.
@@robertmccaulley8559 it wont, the game takes place only on midgar
still gets to me
This might be my first exposure to the "We are doomed to fail and will die... but let try anyway" trope
This shit is the sort of stuff that keeps me going
I cry everytime, literally... :'(
Wow made me cry in such a short time 😭😭😭😭
I just played this part of the game and let me just say, this is one of the more underrated parts I rarely hear get talked about. Nanaki his whole life believed his father abandoned him and his mother and had nothing but hate towards him. When he found out he was fighting off the Gi Tribe and was never able to return, he changed and it already made him a great character. I know it’s easy for me to say cause I’m such a fanboy of Nanaki, but this moment genuinely made me love his character. After this whole revelation, he’s determined to carry one his father’s legacy and that makes it so much beautiful. The way Seto sheds tears made me believe he was still alive and hearing every word his own son was saying and was proud. Nanaki surely has grown not physically, but mentally. I’m just hoping this scene will show in the second part of the remake and hoping they do it justice with the hardware and graphics they have. If it does happen, I’m probably gonna cry. Definitely a scene worth remembering imo.
Its gonna be a tear jerker after Bugenhagens dies too.
Tears from a stone.
This game was the first time I ever cried playing a video game. So many great memories and life lessons..
Gonna bawl like crazy when this scene appears in the next part of the Remake...
Still makes me cry
No puedo esperar como recrearan este increíble momento en Rebirth
Ahi procederé a llorar 🥺😭
Still brings tears to my eyes
I'm going to cry like a bitch when this comes up in the remake which it better be in there.
One of the saddest scenes in all of gaming history. What a masterful game.
It's not sad! Nanaki's shame at his father's treason has been replaced with a pride in his father's bravery and selflessness.
Seto's sorrow at knowing his son will forever curse his name has been replaced with the pride that his son now reveres and honours his memory.
Emotional, yes. But sad? No, this was an awesome moment for Seto and Nanaki :-)
The sad part is yet to come, imagine being able to live 500 to 1000 years and having to see everyone or thing you ever cared about die or get destroyed repeatedly. Vincent probably wouldn't give him the time or day.
