*apparently falling to his death* Zack: "see ya"
Not his death, he's still alive and wakes up in The Church
I know he survives, it's just the fact that he says "see ya" and waves has me 💀
@@ooflord702yeah i bursted out laughing at the way the line was delivered
lol
He should have yelled, "clear my browser's history"...
This ending is going to spawn at least 100 "ending explained" KZhead videos.
The ending to Super Mario Brothers today would spawn 100 ending explained videos.
My head hurts with what just happened. Aerith is dead and nothing changed right? It’s all still the same as the original story? Are these just cloud’s hallucinations and PTSD? All this glitching in and out of reality is really fucking with me…😵💫
This seems to be their primary goal now, just making things extra confusing so people keep talking for many years to buy the next one. Story suffers for it.
@@excitedcat9517no!wait!red 13 could feel aeriths touch so she's not kinda dead
That tends to happen when peiple look into video games too deeply. Kind of like the Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs
Remember, all this could've been avoided if Vincent just shot Hojo Mojo.
Damn Hojo Jojo. More sins to Vincent, I guess. Edit: that mfer is a lucky bstrd given he could have also been killed by Genesis, hadn't it been for Zack and Angeal that protected him.
Thanks Vincent
Like Danganronpa if Nagito didn't fail at shooting Junko.
Friggin Mojo Jojo
If vincent shot and killed hojo.... Hollander will continue the project, this is fated and no one can change it
37:33 sums up everything perfectly
Now this comment is the REAL WINNER 😂😂😂😂 U make me laugh so Hard 😂😂😂 WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ONNNNNN🤣🤣🤣
Once i click that time, i laugh hard because it sum up my thought. 🤣
Zack expression is like wtf is happening here.
Zack has always been the sensible one out of the FF7 bunch ever since Crisis Core lmao
Kingdom Hearts in a nutschell
The 3rd game gonna titled Final Fantasy VII : Rehab
REQUIEM
true.. they needed that
Nice one 🤣
man doesnt know whats real anymore. fucking reality doesnt know whats real anymore. god this is a mess
Final fantasy 7 omega apocalypse ultimate war
I Truly appreciate that they kept Aerith's theme during the Jenova Fight. It's such a sad song, but hearing it in battle makes you want to fight 30 Times harder.
exactly like the original
I loved how they added a little bit of Jenova's theme...it made the impact of Aerith's theme hit so much harder ;__;
They stayed true to original i can admire that, and even though it’s still sad Septhiroth still gets to kill her because of his reality wrapping, and timeline hopping in the fly fuck that’s op i guess it’s going to make the final one winged fight way harder, and intense, i just wonder how they will orotray him decending, or showing up in the purple cloud dimension you fight him in.
until they dont
I still think the Aeris Theme should've played in the very last fight of the game, when Cloud uses Omnislash on Sephiroth
They managed to make Cloud crazier than he is.
Cloud used the power of PTSD to save Aerith
PTSD + Mako poisoning
Hey that's mean, take thr PTSD back!
Yep
and yet he still can't LMAO I hope we can save her
Yet Tifa got a glimps of Aerith being fine and in a pool of blood is that ptsd or I am the only one paying attention to details?
Cloud ended is DPD arc and started his schizophrenia arc
If he's actually seeing visions of her, that'd actually add a nice touch to the moment Cloud has a breakdown and believes to be just another copy of Sephiroth and delivers the black materia to him.
Remake Cloud has it rough. His mind was already teetering on the edge of breaking from the trauma of the Sephiroth-clone experiments, but now there’s also like a future version of Sephiroth running around tormenting him and alternate realities keep crashing into his. So Remake Cloud doesn’t know what’s real and reality itself also doesn’t know what’s real.
Also it’s sets up the life stream moment with Tifa which is going to be even more beautiful that original and that she’s also going to have to help him come to terms with the lose of a friend
@@garethhayles6885well i hope that Tifa gets more Focus in this scene. Its her big Moment not aeriths. I hope the devs acknowledge this... Poor Tifa 😅
@@ManuMaen they will am just saying that they will probably shows aireth protecting Tifa if that makes sense
This game was absolutely amazing man, the fact that your party starts the boss fight with limit break because of how upset everyone is about Aerith's death, except for Cloud because he deluded himself to thinking he saved her, that's actually so heartbreaking
Oh my god I didn’t even realize that. I thought it was a little strange that Cloud’s limit wasn’t filled but everyone else’s was. But you’re absolutely right, it’s because he believes he saved when in reality she died.
Cloud did actually save Aerith, but the Whispers reversed the fate and killed her anyway
@@iam4026well yes and no He did INFACT save her just in a different timeline. You can tell there another divergence in the timeline with the rainbow light
@@felipezamora9711Schrodinger's Aerith.
See y’all another 3 years..
advent children?
@@Keiwa_Sakurainope Part 3 of the game until the finale
🔥🚬 see you all in hell.
can't wait for part 3 when Vincent is playable
@@Keiwa_Sakurai Part 3 is before AOC. Advent Children takes place two years after the main story of FVII,then Diverge Of Cerberus takes place 1 year after that.
"It's a canon event, Cloud."
Aerith dies in every universe
The writer watched too much of marvel's multiverse nonsense I guess.
Exactly. For once Cloud does the logical thing, but canon-event whispers ruined his efforts
Which one?
@@Jet_Genesis720 Prime Rick dropped her in the Omega Device 😂
I like that cloud reverted back to crisis core cloud as soon as he reunited with Zack 😂 imagine if Zack survived canonically, cloud would never have become so bitter
Zack is such a great mentor/friend/comrade. Hard to go bitter with him.
...bitter? Cloud is crazy. Tifa is what made him bitter.
I honestly was expecting Cloud to go even more mental
Cloud suffered a lot from the Mako experiments Hojo did on him and Zack, and Zack's death broke his heart and mental state for sure. Which is why he was as he was, until near the climax of the original where he fell into the Mako with Tifa, and the two worked together to restore his memories.
If Zack were to survive, he would of went to Midgar and joined Avalanche. Remember when Zack brings the unconscious Cloud to the truck. During that truck ride, Zack made dreams together to do mercenary jobs with Cloud. Joining Avalanche does fit the definition of a mercenary jobs. Mercenary is a soldier who is paid to fight by a country or group that they do not belong to. Synonyms: hireling, freelance [history], soldier of fortune, condottiere [history] More Synonyms of mercenary. So when you started that FFVII original game, it shows Cloud joining Avalanche without Zack. So if Zack survived, he would of went with Cloud to join Barrett's group in Avalanche. That meant if Zack left sooner just like Zangan, he would not be caught by Shinra soldiers. I mean Zangan had to leave Nibelheim and he dragged that unconscious Tifa and went to Midgar. Zangan and Tifa was considered Group 1. Zack and Cloud was considered group 2 of leaving Nebelheim. Zack also had to drag the unconscious body out of Nibelheim too. Zack stopped by at Gongaga on his way to Midgar which meant he got caught by Shinra soldiers. If Zack survived, Barrett would of had 2 more members added in his Avalanche group.
I love how the first phase of Jenova Lifeclinger has Aerith's theme like the OG. Then it transitions to a very badass remix of J-E-N-O-V-A with the final phase even having a guitar.
"Oh no! Anyway...guitar solo f*ck yeah!"
So basically it seems like they're leaning into Cloud's mako psychosis big time this time around. He's in complete denial, and I feel like the bit at the nortthern crater is going to be much worse when he can no longer deny that she really died and he isn't what he thinks he is.
Yeah, they also just showed what seem to be the Weapons and it'd be time for Cid and Vincent to be playable for the big materia related missions while Tifa tries to put Cloud's mind back together.
well , its clear. you don't who zack is" this statement from aerith after cloud said zack is loser soldier. because aerith know zack, cloud just love aerith from what he think. zack is different persona. a hero, cloud is denial.
Why do you think Zack shouted “Save her?”
Whether or not you like how the death played out... I think most can agree that facial performance on Cloud with her in his arms is pretty flawlessly translated into the modern age
Looks to me like cloud believes he managed to save her, he doesnt know shes not there which is why the writing team clearly sent her "home" so the next game she would be absent. Clouds perception of the world is completely different to everybody elses already and he makes stuff up as a coping mechanism
Or perhaps what happened with Biggs happened to her. She died on front timeline and woke up in zack's timeline, and this image of her is just a spiritual reflection of that and now she will return to the zack-line. And helps things besides Zack.
I don't think it's that case I think Cloud just had much more confident and understand why Aerith need to die maybe right now Cloud link to lifestream or Aerith or something so he can talk to her in the end The scene he talk with Aerith is he already knew Aerith is dead and reason of that to stop meteor and he will stop Sephiroth I think the let down is they didn't come up with new plot but decide to stay the same and next game will be disc2+disc3 be ready for a lot of cut contents
@@solitaregames I don't think Zack has a timeline. I think he's dead but just doesn't know it yet. He's navigating the lifestream. It's why when Cloud gets pulled into the stream during the final fight, he meets both Zack and Aerith again.
@@user-ji2sq5lz1o Think he actually thinks she's still alive. He blocked the blade, but it still had blood on it. Aerith's hair got cut but it specifically pointed it out as fixed again when she joined the final fight. Then, you have the scenes where she is magically gone and no one but Cloud acknowledges her presence besides Red XIII who also can't see her.
@@tchoythao5579 time got split mate. Even Sephiroth speaks about and shows Cloud the multiverse. Zack is in one of those split multiverses. And we call it "Zack timeline" because Zack is in there as it's main.
I think Cloud just cant accept that Aerith died. Thats why he skipped the burieng part in his head . He literally thinks he saved her lol . He says wake up to her . He lost his mind
This is a crazy plot twist. It freaking broke me in the original and it breaks me more with the voice acting…
I rather felt that the third and last game would be called a reunion, maybe everything will come together, Zack's timeline, Cloud's timeline, and the one Sephiroth wants.
Yeah I don’t buy this. We already know this is about multiple “realities” from the previous game.
Jack alive. Aerith die at this timeline. Next maybe aerith alive. Jack dead. Because Jack is dead how he can sit at cruch this timeline? And cloud stop sephiroth but why aerith still die? Yes Jack alive. Aerith dead this time
Actually the White Materia is empty maybe Cloud is actually seeing Aerith maybe the timeline broke and Aerith is both dead and alive at the same time. Cloud could be in a Paradox State where both are true.
1:03:23 The look on Tifa's face kills me every time. It perfectly captures everything she's feeling in one look.
It’s so sad seeing Tifa cry, losing her best friend
Tits tho
Really glad they made it clear that Tifa and Aerith are friends, because for the longest time people argued that they were rivals, competing for cloud. Nah, they're best friends.
Oh poor Aerith, you were too pure for this world… 😭
AND YET SHE LIVES
She actually lives
@@Count_RossolonHow are you so sure? We have 0 details for the next game and this ending makes it pretty clear that she’s not around in Cloud’s timeline anymore.
@@MuseVT ?
@@Count_Rossolon Dud you even watch the video bro?
So let me get this straight: Cloud saved Aerith. Arbiters reset so Aerith died like in the original. Jenova fight as usual. Cloud fights Sephiroth. Aerith's Lifestream ghost helps. Cloud thinks Aerith isn't dead and sees her and the sky hole when the others don't. Nanaki feels her presence, hinting that Cloud is seeing her ghost from the Lifestream. Am I in the ballpark?
yes, it's fucking retarded
Apparently, Cloud saved her in his mind, and watching her alive is just a way for him to cope with Aerith's death. (You can see Cloud holding Aerith and being sad.) So, all that talk about changing their fate or rewriting their destiny has gone down the drain, which means the arbiters are pointless too. Because if everything must happen again, then why are they here? You can blame Nomura for thinking that creating a lot of questions make the players be invested in the story when actually it only pisses us off.
@@luispalacios8423 No, you haven't been paying attention then. You just sprouted a bunch of nonsense, that several others have said. Like the exact same thing.
Oh my fucking God Nomura isn't involved in the project's story. We have been over this a million times. He Is Not In charge of the story. He is ONE of the directors.That's it. Not the writer. That is Nojima, not Nomura. @@luispalacios8423
When Aerith is killed, she's in a different location then the one where Cloud blocked it which is impossible as she was kneeling. So either Cloud is completely mental at this point, or timeline 3 has been created like timeline 2 with Zack in game 1
This is definitely the Sephiroth from the original timeline, seeing as he has access to Bizarro Sephiroth.
It's not. They just needed a big final boss for the second part and they have already used Sephirot in the first game. Fighting anyone or anything below him would be anti climatic.
@@luispalacios8423 it doesnt strike you as unbelievably embarassing that Sephiroth has to be the final boss for the second time in this supposed FF7 sequel game. why because he's a beloved legacy character people love, story be damned
@@dinglepuss8594 Assuming this was always going to be made into a trilogy, it makes more sense that they did it this way. In the original, Sephiroth kills Aerith, and just fucks off, and you have to fight Jenova. Given he just killed Aerith, a fight here is absolutely appropriate.
@@dinglepuss8594I mean, he's the main antagonist, who else could be Cloud fighting against? Jenova is just a puppet of Sephiroth's. It only makes sense to seal this segment of the game fighting against Bizarro Sephiroth.
@@dinglepuss8594story be damned how? Can you use an actual argument?
I think its 2 things cloud seeing aerith physically is his ptsd coping mechanism but aerith speaking to him is actually aerith in the lifestream speaking to him
Probably same with Zack. He's helping fight Sephiroth in the lifestream at the same time Cloud is fighting the physical part.
You could say that but what about in the ending when Red XIII "sense" her
Zack is one man army, literally beat everything through the hardship
Man soloed bizarro Sephiroth like it was a Sunday morning
Zack is the real deal. Even has his own game and everything.
Of course Zack even Created The omnislash in his Youth KH BBS Taught me that
Zack Saitama
Yea One More thing Zack Is SOLDIER 1st Class Operative So it's Likely He's def The Old Hands Of Cloud to do Things Solo with Finesse No prob
This time you can really feel how Cloud's mind is broken
Yeah it’s sad to see . Pure mental breakdown and rebuild of Cloud in Part 3
@@JOHNQ91when he finally realize Aerith is dead in Part 3 his mental break gonna be even worst than the original.
What a pansy, she wasn't even that special.
I think it's more nuanced than that.
I’m calling it right now the next one is going to be called Reunion
Considering they just used it for Crisis Core Reunion I doubt it, which is a shame cuz many fans agreed before that title was used it would've been perfect.
Im calling it right now it gonna be trash
That was my initial thought as well
figure that out all on your own?
It's gonna be called Revival and it was known years ago!
Oh god, it's not enough that aerith dead, cloud has become delusional
Wich fits the character and the whole fals natative he had in the og
in OG he become so depress and story will go on I think ending like this wasn't that bad at least Cloud had much more confident and knew why Aerith need to die (and for new player too in OG we just change disc and story go on but in remake version we need to wait a few year so they decide to explain here)
for the fact that Cloud still he's former SOLDIER is reason he was delusional for since the Mako poisoning and whatever happened here just increased the delusion
@@tsubasasupremoin Remake Hojo tried to spill the secrets beforehand but the Whispers carried Hojo away before anything else could be said.
Fits Cloud perfectly he was already batshit crazy until his interaction with Tifa in the lifestream.
I sobbed so hard at the end when they left Aerith. I was already crying when Cloud thought he saved her, but their final conversation completely broke me. Ahh, poor poor my girl Aerith 😭
what do u make of the ending: ? your comment is one of the few ive seen that say " cried."
Why would we cry when we know she has survived in another timeline the moment Cloud deflected Masamune. @@bradhorowitz2765
I personally think cloud is on his path to mideel but I do think he really is seeing a vision of a version of arieth only because red xiii senses her in the final scene
@@robertbrighton9797 It's either her ghost from remake timeline or another aerith (that survived due to cloud deflecting Masamune creating a new world shere sbe survived).
I was crying too. Such a beautiful scene
Please, kids, don't use drugs.
why not? drugs are cool
How abput drag?
@@Uknown291u r clearly high
I sure could use some after that ending…
Drugs are evil 😅 if y’all kids wanna use drugs just wait tell you lose your teeth and are skinny and ain’t go no money and sold everything you have then come back and tell me how cool they are 😅
They took away Cloud's big pissed off speech against Sephiroth after her death, and that kinda irritates me.
Because it's not canon
@ondme5560 Eh? Since when is him mourning Aerith not canon
Did you not see the segment when he said something while holding her and yet no sound of his voice came out?
Yeah, the bit where Cloud said, "aerith will no longer talk, no long laugh, cry.... or get angry. "It really hit me in original. That whole speech after her death really made it so special, a shame they removed it.
Cloud actually said something to Aerith, it's just not audible, and they are saving that for Part 3
This story would be significantly better if they didn’t use the exact same screen glitch effect for both Cloud’s mako-poisoning psychosis and the alternate timeline/fate fuckery that’s going on. Because right now we’re at the point where we can’t trust the fact that we can’t trust that what we see is real. Maybe it’s Cloud hallucinating, maybe it’s really happening in another timeline, but it’s literally impossible to tell because both of them are indicated by the exact same thing.
That's the point, they're trying to make the players question what is real in the Remake Timeline.....
its a build up for the final game So in the end game they have 2 conclusive ending The OG & whatever SE is trying to make
@somechinesedude5466 why to go this messy complicated route when it could be more simple around, there is no need to reach to a certain audience, because with their current direction they are alluding to that.
I mean that was the point?
hey congrats, you got the point! :)
It hasn’t even been 24 hours and someone has already uploaded the final boss and cutscene
alot of people got an early copy but couldnt post until the game came out
lol
Oftentimes, simpler is better. The reason Aerith's death in the OG was so impactful was because it was so cold and straight forward. Trying to make a death look so complicated takes away the emotional impact. I mean, there's still some impact, but they tried too hard to make it somehow "different" when it would've had far more emotional impact taking the scene just as it is and just letting the realism of modern technology and advancements do its work.
It's so saturated, noisy and Hollywoodized I can't even. I was just laughing the entire time
It's not that complicated, really. It's just showing Cloud trying to cope with it, which for me is a good call back to the way he acted in Advent Children and they have set this trend in which Sephiroth has to be the final boss in each segment of the remake and that's why they included the Bizzaro battle at the end.
@@sirdimitrescu3671But it isnt. Its really simple. Also we dont even know what they are setting up for part 3 since we didnt even see how it happened
Its just Cloud trying to cope with it. Seeing as we didnt see how it hapoened he will probably realize in part 3 and go mad
In my opinion, it is not that complicate and the expansion makes the it better than the original.
I just wish they seperate the scenes or make it like a last minute realization instead of mixing two scenes, mixing the illusion makes people confuse. And the water burial is iconic to be skipped
So you get to see it as a big reveal when Cloud comes to his senses, giving it all the more impact after the wait
I am thinking that the confusion is on purpose, reflecting Cloud's also deteriorating mental state all to set up part 3.
The transition from Jenova’s battle theme to Aerith’s 🔥🔥
Hilarious how SE pissed off both the people who wanted Aerith alive and those who wanted her to remain dead to stay faithful to the OG. Oh well.
No they didn't lol
@@ausgod538Well said.People would keep claiming otherwise. You can not please everyone. I do not have a problem with it, but most people do.
Cloud have PTSD. He think he saved aerith. And tifa know what happen with cloud mind. This more sad then original
i think like ghost aerith ~Red xiii can feel aerith touch him
@seow5789 May be aerith like ghost, but in Cloud mind he saved her. May be cloud not remember he the one who bring aerith body to the lake like the original. Barret and tifa know something off with cloud, because just him who not have face sad.
Don’t think it’s more sad than the OG personally. Feel it conflicted itself and convoluted itself from its core message and themes of loss and dealing with it. I was laughing the whole time watching Rebirth’s ending, vs crying. 😂
@@VetNoviceThat's Nomura for ya
@@VetNoviceThe difference is that in the original Aerith dies and you are forced into a relatively short and anticlimactic boss fight before the game actually addresses the weight of her death. Whereas in Rebirth she dies and you are forced into an hour long final boss sequence with Aerith constantly popping up just to tease the possibility of her not being gone forever, and by that point the actual impact of her death is cheapened since we know she’ll return in some form during the finale.
Remember kids, dont forget to take your pills
Be sure to take your pills. On your bike, mate!
This game really shows that sometimes, less is more. For context I mean how many times Sephiroth shows up and how many times you fight him. In the original he’s barely ever seen. The guy was a mystery. In these games he just seems like that annoying Gary Oak kinda rival.
He's become Cloud's ex-boyfriend.
he's a crazy ex now
@@_BrennusYOOOO I BEEN THINK THE SAME THING when I was first playing this game 😂
@@_Brennusthis is a sequel you idiots, not a remake
Do you really think he would hold the same weight and mystery to him decades later??? Get real dude, everyone knows his deal now
This is what they call in the pro wrestling business "over-booked".
WHOLE THING WAS BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for the upload!!!
I can’t wait to see the ending in part 3.. she’s summoned holy.. it’s glowing white. Sephiroth and Jenova.. bring it on!!! ❤
Too many vs sephiroth. Feels diluted
Yeah Sephiroth fights are getting old.
One hundred percent, he's basically bowser at this point. They did a great job at watering down the main villain. They do a great job with environments and music but actually planning it out... they don't know what they're doing.
@@papirreyWhy is he missing so much of his moves from remake? He had different versions of Zanshin, I see no Scintilla, elemental infusions, missing some of his whisper moves, his shadow flare. Missing some of his basic combo’s…maybe the final a billion Sephiroth fights in part 3 will add in everything previously and tons of new things so at least gameplay wise he wouldn’t be the same but some of his iconic moves are gone in this version besides hell’s gate.
@@Vaquix000so long OneWinged Homosexual
@@bravosix2960 at this point I don’t think square even cares about those details… yeah, the graphics are amazing (they didn’t struggle with that since they’ve been using the same team since XIV-ARR), at this point it’s just marketing and image. I’ve been a fan of FF since 1997 and for me this is just disappointing… overusing Sephiroth and the “whispers”, dismantling the original soundtrack instead of remaking most of it… not making the gamers figure out real tactics, back in the days with I-V you couldn’t get away before figuring some real stuff out, VI-VIII were a little easier.. IX-XIII well… at least they didn’t overmilk anything, anyways, just my opinion and I respect anyone else’s as well…
I honestly have no f**king clue as to what’s going on, but seeing Aerith at the end made me tear up.
Hate to break it to you, but she's dead. Cloud is in deep denial, which is why he can see her and they can't.
@@davidrajaruzicka5546 Red felt her
@@davidrajaruzicka5546 I know that. She’s obviously a ghost. Cloud’s mental state is hanging by a thread, and Red sensed her because he’s an animal and animals have a sixth sense.
@khfan4life365 The thing is that Red is naturally very connected to the planet, similar to Aerith and the ancients. For Cloud, he has both the JENOVA cells and was highly poisoned with Mako in Hojos experiments, and we know Mako is tied heavily to the lifestream because it comes from the lifestream. Cloud and Zack are NOT normal soldier experiments because of this. This, to me, could explain some of Cloud's abilities to interact with his environment in tandem to how he perceives the world.
@@davidrajaruzicka5546It's pretty ambiguous because future(?) Sephiroth is intentionally messing with fate so much that alternate timelines are bumping into the original story, and he knows very well how he can use that fact to mess with Cloud's mental state even more than he did like at 48:51
I really wonder what the point of ''real'' sephiroth inside a crystall in the northern crater manipulating stuff when we clearly have winged sephiroth from AC just doing whatever the hell he wants .. :/
Did you play/watch Crisis Core?
@@jessielou9138 Not tbh, if im missing something there that answers my concern plz elaborate 🍻
@@thanashs well, just like you, I didn't understand what business had the crystal Sephiroth to do in the North Cave after seeing him torment Cloud for most of the game. Thanks to Crisis Core I realized that the crystal Sephiroth is the original one. The one we have encountered so far has actually been a series of clones thar are prone to deterioration and that build themselves up from the clones in robes that whisper "reunion" and that you might encounter now and there. They also help themselves out of the Jenova cells. But back to the point, Sephiroth can only ever summon Meteor with his og body and thus absorb the energy of the lifestream into it to manage to become a God. A similar thing happened to Genesis, a character that appears in Crisis Core and helped me understand Sephiroth's condition and why he is a one winged angel.
@@jessielou9138 The stuff you explained i know them from the OG FF VII except the Genesis part .. the thing is that in the OG, Sephiroth only used the robed guys and Jenova parts to conjure himself and do stuff .. in the remake he does that again BUT now there is also the winged one Sephiroth that's controlling the whispers that seems it's not a robed person nor Jenova but the real deal, especilly after he transformed to Bizarro Sephiroth, which begs my question if this guy is the OG Sephiroth do we have the naked Sephiroth inside the crystall hibernating this time around ? The one that transforms to Safer Sephiroth in the OG
@@thanashsEither he’s dimension/timeline hopping and there’s two Sephiroths (which is probably more likely) or it’s the original Sephiroth awakened with all the knowledge he has in the same way Aerith is aware of all this stuff.
Me as a 38 years old adult : sitting in Front of this Bossfight, mouth open, heartbeat is racing, tears in my eyes. Just felt like a child again. Thank you so much square Enix. This game, especially the final Boss was pure joy to me!
this is literally just Kingdom Hearts 4 at this point. Can't wait for Mickey Mouse to show up and throw meteor at Sephiroth's 7th clone to save the Marvel multiverse
People Will Say this is a masterpiece and that those Who don't like It are haters
@@pit2992 as far as I'm concerned the game is really good when it's faithful to the work and enriches it with sensible things and it's shit when it adds totally new and senseless things. and it pisses me off because if you remove the story everything else is perfect
@@federicosodini1146The problem with the Remake is that the whole multiple timeline and Zack thing is extremely unecessary and it hurts the narrative, the changes they did to Sephiroth's presentation weren't that good either, he appears so much that it removes some of what makes him interesting and with him losing 2 times already, it also reduces him as a threat.
ff7r couldn't be more different from kh lol
@@Zerorenren4761 I can say that the initial scene with Zack makes no sense both in terms of the timing of the events given that months pass between the end of Crisis Core and the beginning of 7th Base.
Oh wow, it really is just Kingdom Hearts in the Advent Children world
Ain't jenova, sephiroth and bizarro in ff7 tho? 🤔
advent children was better written that this mess i swear. people shit on cloud becoming depressed but thats kind of what happens when there is no world to save, no adrenaline to prevent you from thinking too hard.
To add to another comment: all of this could've been prevented if Vincent stopped simping and took Lucrecia for himself 😂
Aerith still alive in Cloud Mind, done 😄
Yeah, no. They made it far too convoluted. And fighting Seph just doesn't hit when he was the last boss of the previous game also.
He shouldn't have appeared at all in the last game, he was pure fanservice for fanboys nothing more. And his lines are quite crappy. Kind of ruining him in every way, oh well he has a good voice actor and he looks cool as bizarro at least...
@@Vaquix000you clearly don’t know what happened in remake if you think he shouldn’t have appeared at all
The ending was from the art on the original instruction books on the ps1. Where Aerith is standing outside the high wind…
Yes! So nostalgic 😢
Very cool
Dude yes! 🙌
The change your disc screen
Watch when she gives cloud the white materia... Flash of flowers, we're Advent children now, the 7th multiverse, and you all remember the ending to Advent Children right?
So much noise, so much things going on, so much information on the screen just to tell the obvious. It's like what Hollywood would do if they produced the game. Make it as soft and colory as possible. Aerith death is so impactful and important for the narrative that the characters fight Jenova and utter cool bullshit while doing it. I expected it would be bad and somehow SE did it worse. That's an accomplishment
You do know the original FFVII was advertised like a Hollywood movie, right?
Just play the original trash fantasy 7 then no one cares about your ramblings and the small minority of western fans.
@@fawwazthalibthalib7180 the small minority...of the west? wait, is this a joke? Cause half the game is a hollywoodized version of the original. They can't even properly kill a character or make Cloud's mako infection impactful. They just have to make it as westerny and fancy as possible and you tell me we are the small western minority? Lol
the art of subtlety is dead fren
@thalibthalib7180 Nah, he's certainly not alone in his opinions judging by the comments here. So you'd be incorrect that no one cares.
I definitely cried when they left Aerith 😭
😭😭😭
I think Aerith did died in the current timeline we r playing, but she’s somehow alive in another timeline/dimension which I think we can somehow revive her in the final trilogy. The scene where Cloud was supposed to put her body into the water, but it didn’t. So I don’t think it’s final. Cloud is not completely crazy for seeing Aerith & Red sensing her too. Perhaps he couldn’t let go of her death in current timeline, but she still exists in another dimension dat we’ve yet to know, I think.
They just had to make this complicated.
yeahh basically this is it lol
@@bearjuncture Yeah, they seem to be taking the Kingdom Hearts route 😅😅😅😅
If Aerith revives, it goes against the intent of the original. All come from the planète and all return to it. Death is tough but has to be accepted if we want to embrace life.
What's the point of fighting sephiroth in every game?
It kinda like how they treat Darth Vader in the Jedi games he’s mandated to be a enemy or boss because of how iconic he is
@@gameoveror7970 but by doing that they make him very unintimidating. A villain gets less intimidating the more he's defeated, not more. That's why they left sephiroth until the very end in OG, a far better written game. This crap is just fanservice.
Thought it was funny when Aeris said "ready to finish this", yet it was already clear the entire segment with fighting Sephiroth was totally pointless again like with Remake. Cloud and friends are teleported to another dimension to have a "final climactic" battle against Sephiroth, teleport back, and it is like that whole segment got copy/pasted in because it is so irrelevant to adjoining scenes.
The best bit is, it isn't even Sephiroth. Sephiroth is dead.
@@Vaquix000 in the first game, why was there a sephiroth fight? He absorbed the whispers, so he could have gone away it. Why fighting? Apparently, he did not want to harm the party at that point. It made no sense. Now, he is fighting everyone, I mean literally everyone. Aerith was dead, and even she participated in the battle. Was this all necessary? Does it help the story narrative in anyway? He ending was like a dream where things randomly happen without any reasons. What's the point of creating a story that nobody understands, so the developers have to explain the story through interviews or press? This game is a pure garbage.
When they show the frame with the Masamune embedded in the floor, you can see the classic "distortions" he experiences when he distorts reality, such as when Zack is mentioned, and you hear the famous three notes of the intro, the same ones you hear when a tear escapes in the Remake. In the third part of the game, they could show the same scene with Sephiroth actually pulling the bloodied sword from Aerith's body. In fact, upon closer observation, there are two angles and two different floors. One is just in Cloud's head where he deflected the attack, and another with the sword impaled THROUGH Aerith's body and blood starting to flow. Sephiroth smiles, pulls out the sword (from the body), and we see the classic scene of Aerith falling as the music starts. Even when the rest of the team approaches, you see the classic disturbances with a bloody scene and a clean one (in Cloud's head). Although it's intentionally done to confuse and mislead, we simply see what actually happened and what Cloud sees from the moment his psyche begins to deny Aerith's death, including her telling him "it's all right" and him laying her on her back. After defeating the boss, we see Tifa and the others looking at the deceased body lying on its side, while when Cloud approaches, he only sees her lying on her back, even opening her eyes and responding to him, obviously only in his head. I mean, even him rejecting Sephiroth's sword is all a product of his imagination. In the end, this guy literally saw Zack die before his eyes and removed it all from his memory. Obviously, what really happened, including him laying Aerith's body in the lake, will be revealed in the last part when Cloud, fallen into the lifestream, regains control of his memories and himself 😢
I had hope maybe we could save her this time. I'm crying so hard right now.
We did. Just in another timeline.
0:01 | 0:40
Where is the scene? When cloud said Aerith can no more talk, cry, or get angry.. My body is tingling My mouth is dry My eyes is burning. This is the most emotional scene when cloud said it. Where is it? Only ghost whisper like kingdom heart? So funny. It doesnt look like aerith really dying, wake up and aerith wake up, when the original cloud embrace her and put her on the water of lifestream then aerith is sinking.
Can we drop the multiple universes thing already please? It seldom does good to a story, and I'm not talking about confusion.
I think it's just way of develop make to bait player about this Aerith scene or they will do something about it later in next game I still feel bad that they didn't change a story line and Aerith still stay dead(even it's reasonable in OG)
@@user-ji2sq5lz1o Maybe they do things right in the third game, but right now it feels like they are unsure whether they want to depart from the OG story or be faithful to it, which is kinda frustrating tbh.
@@async6566yeah it's frustrating that they bait us so hard that this game will be different but it stay the same in the end of Rebrith (change only detail but main plot still the same) This is what I don't like in new FF (after 12 and except16) They tried to be 'complex' story line but it's so hard to understand and enjoy with FF always start with very easy to understand plot and go more complex and complex after that I hope they didn't add this in last game FF7 is one of my favorite FF in all time
Final fantasy has been multidimensional for aeons Every final fantasy game happens in a seperate timeline fully linked up to the others in wierd ways, allowing creatures to invade all of them, like chocobos
@@molassesman4066I think because they made dissedia and make me super confuse about their story that's why I like old FF more story start at simple and move on more complex in story but still easy to understand what going on until end
Cloud basically believes in his head that Aerith is still alive. That’s what I got from all this. He might not be in a coma in the next game. Tifa is very likely gonna have to bring Cloud back to reality by telling him the truth of what really happened to Aerith Also Zack 2 is definitely real also since we see things in his perspective from his world throughout the game. Marlene tells him about saving Aerith and he tells Cloud about saving Aerith. This is obviously pointing towards Aerith 2 in the second reality who is 100% going to join the main crew in part 3 along with Zack 2 the Legend 👍.
Cloud knows Aerith is dead, he literally sees the OG timeline of Aerith's death, it's just this time he's knows Aerith's death doesn't mean she's actually gone, but she's part of the Lifestream, where she'll help in her part in stopping Sephiroth, by preventing the meteor from crashing.
Like original, they will face sephirote and lose.
I think you are missing the point: The ending sequence is constantly switching betwen a reality where Cloud did save and fail to save Aerith. Also, in the very end, Aerith did not vanish like a ghost would do. Cloud is not crazy, he is LITERALLY struck between timelines. Aerith is the cat, Sephiroth is the poison, cloud is the box. It seems that Sephiroth is shifting timelines freely to reach his goals. The team is stuck in OG timeline, while Cloud is both being manipulated by Jenova cells like in the OG timeline, AND living in the remake timeline.
this here is very much it@@josevitorcalfa2
@@josevitorcalfa2I want to believe your comment so bad. A part of me thinks cloud is just hallucinating but I really want to hold out hope that he did save aerith in the alt timeline
Anyone who thinks that even Part 3 won't end similarly convoluted - in order to spawn more spinoffs and FF7 multiverse - is naive at this point. Every end game is now just a setup to get people to consume the next product.
Sounds exactly like Kingdom Hearts. I remember the massive blueballs that the KH fanbase had with KH3 where stuff wasnt closed out in a satisfactory manner and KH 4 was teased at the end. At least this game doesnt constantly refer to stuff that happened in previous games to make you buy that platform and play that previous game like KH does.
Pain…
Consumer rage
They had 1 job....to make the most iconic death scene as impactful as the original and they failed....
have to wait for part 3 for that 😟
and the original one is like trash
@@fawwazthalibthalib7180It’s the best they could do with the tech at the time. But at least the OG was clear in its intention and let the characters have genuine reactions to her death. In this it’s not even clear how she dies, Cloud has zero reaction, and the game is more excited about having Zack and Cloud fight Sephiroth than the most important event to happen in the game.
@@fawwazthalibthalib7180It's so "trash" that it's still well regarded as an extremely iconic scene and people that play the game for the first time without knowing about it somehow still cry with it.
patience. i think they are saving her actual death scene in Part 3
Whoever added Aerith’s theme during the start of this battle deserves the biggest raise - 7:05
wow, 75min for the last fight, OMG
Sephiroth is going down.
The original kill of Aerith was better because it's shows Sephiroth really did kill her.
Yes 😒👍
Outside of graphics, the originals story is better.
I think they're trying to lean more into Cloud's craziness this time around. In this game, he really thinks he saved her, and thus why we keep seeing Aerith, and why we really don't have a true grieving scene. Hope this brought some light.
i mean, we are literally seeing it from Cloud's perspective tho, that's why we do not see Sephiroth impaling Aerith. they are saving that moment in Part 3 from Tifa's perspective
@@harukaroto8262 That scene might come later. You know, the old anime classic flashbacks they love so much? It'll come back to cloud when he snaps back to reality.
I hope they know what they're doing for the 3rd game. But I am thankful that they kept much of the original story.
It's perfectly obvious what's happening this time. Cloud has saved her in another timeline thus creating a new world where Aerith survives Sephiroth's attack. Somehow Cloud is glitching between both worlds one where he saved her and the one where we failed (Beagle timeline from Remake and Rebirth).The Aerith that comes afterwards is the ghost of our timelines Aerith. The fact that Cloud is the only one who can see the rift in the sky makes me think that the ending Aerith might be in another timeline and that's why Cloud is the only one who somehow can see the Rift of that timeline. Or because we have created the timeline where she survives we lost something and our world is being torn apart because of it. But it's perfectly obvious Aerith has survived in one timeline and not in another. How this will move things for part 3 though we have to wait and see. And I have a feeling the timeline split has started right where Cloud entered the portal before Aerith and was changed by Cloud when he hit masamune with his sword.
I think it's even simpler, this whole series is taking place during Cloud's time in the lifestream, and he's going to wake up at the very end, to continue on the original ff7's storyline.
@@corjonbett Nah. The whole point of this game is to change the original not return to it after fooling us with false hope.
Well, Nomura did it again.
If you mean shit the bed then yes 😅
@@DoomBowser64holy fuck dude you are literally in a video with the credits and you can't see that Nomura didn't write this game?
@@ausgod538 didn't watch the credits this game is crap
I was kinda hoping he would carry her body one last time while we then see her go down to the sea. That was a memorable scene in the original game. I'm not sure about this one
The original scene was kind of goofy, though. Cloud stands in waist high water, and Aerith somehow sinks to the bottom? I think they realized you couldn't really do that, so they kept it off screen.
@@terrycullen3302 Well the water scene with sephiroth saving tifa looked kinda goofy but they didn't mind putting that in there😂.
uh im pretty sure dead bodies dont sink they float
I am thinking that the scene was omitted on purpose.
Too much pain for Cloud 😢
The way that the shot of Aerith and Highwind imitates the art from the PS1 days! 😭😭😭😭
Missed emotional impact.
You know what sucks? Dying to the last sephiroth and not knowing which retry option and ending up doing bizzaro again
I heard that the Jenova cells can make you see things that aren't there so that's all I noticed but I need to play the game myself to full understand the context here
Love the rearrange of One Winged Angel and how it ends. SE-PHI-ROTH
What a mess in storytelling. The whispers thing is a disaster.
The Patronus Charm would come in handy here, cloud must be skipping out on his lessons from harry potter.
Modern Square Enix had the audacity to think their garbage needlessly complicated storytelling had the right to touch FF7.
everyone though they going in new plot but after this they said 'Oh we still go with same plot with different detail' at least Cloud wasn't in bad state might change something in the end but man... I hope we can save her
@@lostmedia4u189 The remake trilogy is literally full of the original creators of FF7
@@chrislee5268And they lost their talent. Like modern Ridley Scott trying to remake Bladerunner.
From what i see here Cloud did save her (2:38). But sephiroth either used the power he gained from the whispers and changed the outcome back to the death scene (3:08) and Nullifying cloud's actions. (3:16) (4:09)(4:18)These backing up it possibly.(4:59)(5:19)(5:22) More stuff i noticed before the fight, including that her eyes closed. Or time is going to go fubar in the next game as see with aerith and her death scene.
This episode is really awesome. New friend here ❤ 👍
Crazy how there are people that have waited around 27 years for this moment
and they fucked it up terribly 🤣
Next one is FFVII Refund!!
Of course the stabbing is censored and changed...
Oh trust me their gonna to show it in part 3 on the PS6
Even harry potter had more brutal death scenes.
Considering that the trail of blood scene was censored in Remake, I’m not surprised that the stabbing part would be censored and changed.
Brother, you see Aerith pooled in blood there.
I'm sorry, but Aerith's death scene in the 1997 PS1 original is much sadder and more emotional, even with the abysmal graphical difference. Where is he letting her body slowly sink into the lake?
I know right? They must have used the fire magic material and cremated her body or some bs lolz
I read it as Cloud totally blocking it out, so since we see the game from his perspective we don't see the burial either. He was also weirdly casual during that whole scene given what just happened, leading me to think it's Cloud being in denial/losing his grip on reality.
I am thinking they took the scene on purpose all for part 3. Rebirth is setting up Cloud's declining mental state, there is already several cutscenes of him just straight up forgetting something that just happened and the player getting snippets. What most people are leaning towards is that this Cloud believes he actually saved Aerith and is in massive denial.
Aerith: You promise? Cloud: Promise. No Promises Await at Journey's End LMAO XDD
You don’t get it do you? What is the title of the song Aerith sings? What song plays at the end? Listen to the lyrics to the song buddy before laughing you are obvious a Cloti
@@vaasmontenegro3728 What the actual fuck are you on about? You sure you responding to the right guy? What the hell does that guy's comment has to do with Tifa and Cloud?
english localization.. they don't say promise in japanese
Again with the fuken plot armour ghosts.
They are sooo cheesy! Every time they are on screen I roll my eyes
"Expecto Patronum!!!!" - Cloud That should deal with these dementors.
the side that wanted the traditional aerith death with enhanced graphics got shafted since they cut out some sequences, and the side that wanted aerith to live while being fed a false hope because of the multiple timeline thing is also shafted. neither side will be satisfied with this ending.
This felt like a tug-of-war between the OG story and the New story, i'm not sure how to felt about it and at part looks confusing as well, i need to take some time to fully process this. I know this could be their intention, but still. (and watch some theory and discussion to build up my feelings)
Can’t wait for Dodd to explain this finale. Got a few doubts but was cool to see a zack and cloud team up against sephiroth
I'm ngl what's the point of the timeline stuff if Aerith just dies again? Genuinely do not get it and I feel like they kinda fumbled the story here Also where the fuck is Genesis
You think it has something to do with the secret ending on Dirge of Cerberus?
Bro didn’t play the game
I agree with the Genesis comments they really should’ve shown Genesis somewhere. Somehow the rest I don’t agree with so much because it’s just universes collapsing. Aerith is Alive in one universe and isn’t where the party is. Aerith and cloud are in like a limbo reality is my interpretation. The game guide will clear this up a bit I bet
It's all an illusion, is my opinion. It's all Cloud's coma from when he fell into the Lifestream in Disc 2 of the original, he's desperately trying to think of something he could have done, but his mind is refusing every last thing, like superpowering Aerith, to preventing Cloud from even meeting her, to saving everyone in sector 7. But every time he tries to change something, reality refuses to accept his changes, because subconsciously, CLoud knows that's not how it is supposed to go. Sephiroth in this series is his mind ensuring that things don't change.
Wow they don’t sound too bothered by their friend dying…
I’m sure they all got pass that… and everyone has their own way of coping as you can see (the game don’t show the process they put her in the lifestream too) Barret is the one whom always push forward no matter Tifa is quiet the whole time she’s sad her best friend is gone Then red feel her to a certain extend. While other really had not many time with her Then there’s Cloud… coping…very…. Very not well.
@@josephwong5859 I’m sure it will all make sense 5 years from now and then after another 5.
You can see WHITE whispers spawning from the ground where the sword landed before the timeline changed.
Bro this boss fight took me nearly 3 hours. I wasn’t sure if I was gonna pull through with the potions I had, I barely did.
If the Sephiroth we see in the LS is the OG Sephiroth, and at this point I have very little doubt about this, then why would he kill Aerith? In the OG we saw that Holy cannot stop Meteor, and that the reason why Meteor was stopped was because Aerith manipulated the LS to stop it, which she could only do after dying, meaning that she's far more dangerous to him dead than alive.
Seriously. Some really deep plot holes we have here.
BUT She Could Communicate To Lucrecia
It is presumed there are two verisons of sephiroth. The LS one and the jenova driven one using sephiroth image to gather them all. The jenova one is driven by a pre determined fate and has been doing exactly as what happened in OG. The LS sephiroth is the one mostly shown with the black winged is the one working to change his fate and would love to leave her alive.
@@scaleofjudgment That's right. That's exactly what's going on. Even though there are probably multiple Sephiroth's as there are multiple Aeriths and Clouds.
Thanks for showing this. Saved me from having to spend money lol
Cool you’ll be the one missing out
@@jamrah8713 it's basically the exact same system as "Remake" shut up lol
@@jamrah8713Kid you don't understand, what is happening, it ain't real dude, illusion.. And you spent money to see Sephiroth mind fk Cloud at every opportunity.
@@KJames2345No, they didn’t say anything about whatever the fuck you are talking about. I assume they mean the gameplay is great (better than remake from what I saw.) and even if the story is confusing and not as good, everything else is good.
I literally cried at the end. Seeing her overlook everyone when they fly away while she stays behind. So heartbreaking.
Weird how people in this comment seem to forget how remake and rebirth plays on the concept of alternate timelines, that other timelines exist now with fate being meddled with, where Zack exists in one despite dying in the main one, yet can't accept this same event happened at the moment of Aerith's death. Cloud isn't seeing her ghost or a delusion in his mind, he's seeing the alternate timeline where he saved her being created, as it runs parallel to the main timeline where she died. I know alternate timeline stories are confusing for some, but maybe try a little harder guys. 🤷♂
