I always loved the addition of the children laughing at the end. It showed that the world lived on, despite everything. Easily one of the best stories ever told.
I agree, ff7 did get a bit overhyped and people tried to pick it apart because of that but the complexity of the story is amazing - every charcter is relevant, everything matches together, the soundtrack might well be the greatest ever composed for a game...
This is by far the best thing I ever seen idk why but watching this over again makes me feel like I want to get to this part and just play it over again which I’m doing
That attack stressed me the fuck ouuut as a kid. I remember thinking really hard about what to do next. It really made you feel like there was no hope lmao. Amazing direction on the part of Square. Back when Square made games with a purpose.
Ohhh when he did that, I would go and make a sandwich, use the restroom, take a nap, get up... Take my car to the car wash come back and that animation would still be going on! xD
28:18 This is where Final Fantasy VII Advent Children/Complete begins. Then the real story happens 2 years after this game's events (supported by the fact that the story begins 498 years prior to this scene).
Sephiroth created supernova only to beat Cloud and still failed. Meanwhile a meteor the size of a city could destroy the planet. Summary : Cloud is stronger than the planet, he should just jump and one punch the meteor.
Wtf dude I just had a dream where I was fighting some kid with spiky brown hair, and a key shaped blade alongside my partners who were covered in black. Anyone else been dreaming the same thing?
If you take out the whole sepiroth resurrection angle then advent children is basically a true ending of ff7 - you get to see everyone again, what they did with their lives and how the world was affected by the ending
You gotta realise that Sephiroth is one of the biggest haters in fiction. He has come back from the dead a total of 3 times just to face him. And he has lost a total of 3 times every attempt.
SEPHIROTH DESTROYS THE ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM AND MAKES THE SUN EXPLODE TO ATTACK YOU.. I'm still not sure why people say Kefka is the better villain Even if you didn't get Omnislash in the main game, you still get to see it at the very end. GENIUS.
Back in the day, villains naturally have huge reasons to be evil but Kefka is different among the villains. Kefka just want to destroy, not because of revenge or anything personal, just destroy. Going such lengths to become a god just for that simple reason.
Sephiroth created supernova only to beat Cloud and still failed. Meanwhile a meteor the size of a city could destroy the planet. Summary : Cloud is stronger than the planet, he should just jump and one punch the meteor.
I heard the move was simply an illusion and is not what actually happened otherwise why is the Sun still around after the fight and if Sephiroth can even do that the whole time why even need Meteor destroy one planet? Also most of the things that are orchestrated in this game is JENOVA who is the true villain of this game. Sephy is just the final boss. What Kefka achieved is his own doing and being an sadistic omnipotent clown god that does as he pleases even after he achieves his goal is still way more nefarious than a misguided test tube boy being led on by a mislabeled alien and his dad. But if you compare JENOVA and Kefka I say it's pretty even match.
I totally forgot about the knights of round and omnismash!!! Those were the ultimate attacks and I felt unstoppable with them back in the day. Until I had to fight the ultima weapon or ruby weapon.
That's the problem a lot of people have with potions in RPG games, you end up always thinking that you better save them for a bigger battle and in the end the game is over and the bigger battle worthy of an x potion or elixir passed you by...
the final 1 on 1 is unlooseable. Even if you choose not to act, Sephiroth will deal only %-damage, and Cloud will automatically Counter; with Sephiroth having technically only 1 HP here.
@@patrickschulz2193 The bad thing is that Cloud does a normal attack and you miss Omnislash. What would have been cool is if he countered with Omnislash.
If you're talking about the actual final boss fight, Safer Sephiroth, then yeah, its perfectly looseable, you don't even have to try. I lost to a couple of times my first playthrough, he's pretty challenging without being overlevelled or having the really powerful equipment/materia/limit breaks.
Seph killed her ik rebirth and seph is only playable in nibelheim where he was a ally and i like to play as him the legend himself u can stick with cloud you noobi^^
If you can put her with a meteor the size of the one in the game would actually get to the planet and maybe just see in the world there implies that they did succeed
The one surrounding Cloud is green though.... I think the Red is Sephiroth's spirit rejoining the lifestream, his physical and mental forms both having been destroyed by Cloud and the party. The green lifestream that surrounds Cloud is Aerith helping his conciousness return to his body so he doesn't die in the crater.
What was the footage recorded at? Because I know it wasn't 4k given how your models look. Here's a chocobo race recorded in 4k with the game running native 4k, look at how sharp the models are compared to your video, I do have some compression artifacting but I don't think I can get rid of that with my current hardware, being an R7 1700 at 3750mhz ruclips.net/video/XIDdLc8HMYQ/видео.html

He's going to be 99 on every charcter by the looks of that materia - a lot of them are unique so to have multiple copies he must have grinded like crazy to level up
yeah i don't know if that has ever been explained why that was put in. they implied humanity didn't survive so it could've been nanaki's children laughing??

The most stressful moment of my childhood is when Sephiroth unleashes supernova on you.

Now allow me to reveal that you stressed over nothing. Supernova can't kill you unless you're at 1 HP. It's % based.

The music to the final battle is still 🔥 to this day. Legendary game.
28:18
This is where Final Fantasy VII Advent Children/Complete begins. Then the real story happens 2 years after this game's events (supported by the fact that the story begins 498 years prior to this scene).
Excuse me whaaat 😃
Edit: I get it now.
This is the scene from the beginning of the movie, which is 500 years after FF7. Then Advent Children’s actual story takes place 2 years after FF7.
This fact is later supported by Tifa herself in Advent Children who says that the final battle (this boss fight) happened 2 years ago
So red 13 is 500 years old
I wish the city still thrived in future, and only the mako reactor that is gone.
It's truly an amazing concept of a city, a perfect cyberpunk world.
It wasn't a cyberpunk pretty much industrial/cyberpunk mix infact.
Just letting you know, if a cyberpunk setting is doing well and thriving, it isn't cyberpunk.
It would be post-cyberpunk or cyberprep.
Bizarro Sephiroth's defeat synced with the music perfectly!
It’s pure genius
Watching this brings back so many memories of the ps1 back in the day
PS1 was incredible.
Curious that in the very last battle with Sephiroth, 1 vs 1, with the help of cheats we can see that Seph have 1hp in that battle
18:37 What a satisfying villain defeat.
