I like how this dialogue change hints at her knowing the events of FF7OG. In the OG, about her white materia, she says "it does nothing". But in this timeline, she says "it's not good for anything at all" because in the OG Holy indeed ends up doing nothing against Meteor.

[@handsdowntoo7150]

There are so many great hints that Aerith knows more in the remake than she did in the original game (maybe the planet showed her?). Off the top of my head...she calls Red a "child" even though she has no way of knowing he's a child of his species, she knows Marlene is Barret's daughter even though nobody told her who Barret is (let alone that he's Marlene's dad), when Tifa expressed doubt over whether Shinra would really drop the plate Aeriths goes quiet (and when Tifa later says they can stop Shinra from doing it Aerith goes quiet again), and at the end of the game she knows all about Sephiroth and how he's a major threat to the planet (even though she pretends to only know of him as "the war hero who died" earlier in the game). I'm so interested to see where this all goes!

Which means he most likely won't change anything about his career's masterpiece... Guess we can only hope he's in the mood for better endings and not this tragedy Cloud gets visions of. Also, now that I have seen Cloud in this remake I can't help but realize how depressed he is in Advent Children and makes me want to have Aerith live EVEN more than before :/

[@ItsCortnei]

I almost feel like Seph was controlling the visions of the "failed future" they were seeing to make them think that the OG ending is the horrible ending which in turn makes them defy destiny; just what Seph wants. I mean, after all, the FFVII AC world is broken and not perfect, but Cloud seemingly finds a place for himself, forgives himself and lives on. With destiny broken, we may see an even darker story line as our characters fight to undo their mistake as Seph fks with Cloud's emotional and mental state even more. Maybe Seph will go after Tifa to torment Cloud and eventually we'll see flashes of a future that "could have been" with the AC family unit. Just has my mind spinning with possibilities!

[@TehKaiser]

Yep, the spirit of the original is that every move you make was Sephiroth intentionally baiting you to keep chasing him. The chase is on just like the original, but the specific surprises look like they are going to change. The key specifics of the original have already been blabbered out to the audience.

Yeah I like that Aerith seems to be aware of her destiny, yet she still has hope that the future can be changed somehow. When I replayed the game I noticed that she was the one who told Wedge to try his best to change things for the better, even if he thinks there is no hope...and because of that his actions are what led to so many people evacuating and surviving the Sector 7 plate collapse (unlike the original game where Wedge died, and nobody escaped because there was no warning).

[@OmkaraHellcore]

I just watched the original ending of final fantasy 7 where the last clip is a vision of aerith looking into the mako energy just as she did in the beginning of final fantasy 7 and the remake. Somebody in those comments suggested something that seemed actually very plausible and thats that final fantasy 7 is a vision of the future that aerith experienced through looking into the mako. It would explain why the whispers are after her when you meet her. Im assuming that Cloud has these visions because he's infused with mako or something and has a connection with aerith which triggers him seeing what she experienced in final fantasy 7. As for sephiroth he might experience something similar but on another level. Not saying this is the truth, but it does make the story of ff7 remake more interesting to me 🤷‍♂️

KARIM MERNIZ I agree with you, letting Wedge and Biggs survive is not bad in my opinion, they’re not husks anymore like in the original and along with Jesse they now have an interesting backstory and marked personalities, I hope that Nomura doesn’t let Zack or Aerith live and doesn’t change any events that happened in the original and the Sephiroth thing is just something added to the story to make it more insteresting and deep than the original and not the stupid timeline asspull that he did with Kingdom Hearts.

He's seeing a vision of the dream in the Sleeping Forest from the og game (the last time he talks to Aerith before she dies). There are some really cool parallels in these 2 scenes...Aerith pops out from the wall to surprise Cloud with her body bent over (in the dream she pops out from behind a tree to surprise him with a similar "bent over" pose), in this scene she turns away from Cloud and things go fuzzy/dream-like as she goes deeper into the tunnel (in the dream when she says goodbye to Cloud she turns away from him and cheerily walks deeper into the "tunnel" of trees), and the backdrop of the tunnel has a green-ish tinge (just like the Sleeping Forest does).

What if Aerith still dies, but by her own terms? I can't ever see Aerith defying the wishes of the planet, since she IS part Cetra. It doesn't suit her character. I'd be all for her living, of course, though. There are several possibilities that Square can run with here. It's clear Aerith knows something, probably already knows what's supposed to happen. Hence her warning to Cloud, amongst most of her dialogue in the game. XD They made that fairly obvious. The time traveling theories, though, can go either way. They are obviously going to tell a different story here, so I just hope it's mind blowing!

Your Faithless Friend He moved on when he finally realized that Aerith wasnt for him and she is destined to be with Zack.

[@yourfaithlessfriend9399]

@@vanthursday wrong. The general concept of FFVII (OG) is life and death. When Sephiroth says "tell me what you treasure the most, because I'm going to enjoy taking it away", the first thing that appears in his mind is Aerith, followed by Zack and then Tifa, Marlene and Denzel appear. Cloud's character arc is about accepting losses. So his first version is an incomplete person, because he forgot his greatest tragedies, and what makes us who we are is the sum of our lived experiences, not only the good things but also the bad things. The scene where Cloud smiles as he lets Aerith and Zack go is a metaphor for him accepting their deaths, and says "I'm not alone" because they are both part of him now. Aerith a few seconds earlier says "it is too early for you to come with me". And in the credits Cloud is riding his motorcycle along a road surrounded by yellow flowers, and Aerith is at the end of the road

[@gamemakerdude]

If Wedge and Biggs are alive, then maybe Aerith can somehow survive too. It kind of reminds me a little of Final Fantasy X, where Yuna and the others figure out a way to defeat Sin without sacrificing herself. Maybe in Part 2, they'll get more visions from Sephiroth or someone else, and they can use this info so Aerith can somehow cast Holy without dying. This is obviously a new timeline, so anything goes at this point.

[@acidicsaul0975]

SOME SPOILERS FOR ADVENT CHILDREN AND DIRGE OF CERBERUS Will she still die in Remake? I'm not sure. But people reasoning that she needs to die to save the planet with the lifestream are not looking at the bigger picture, if things are to be different she ABSOLUTELY cannot save the planet this way. Yes she uses the lifestream to buffer against Meteor but this also has an unforeseen and still incredibly bad side effect. The Geostigma Plague. While not a cataclysmic event like being struck by Meteor this still leads to a slow gradual decline of life on the planet and allows Sephiroth to slowly gain a foothold in the lifestream, as when people with Geostigma die Sephiroth could control the energy when they pass to the lifestream. Whilst a cure is found at the end of Advent Children, by Dirge of Cerberus it's revealed a significant number of people are still living with and dying with the disease. The way to save the Planet AND the people is to bring down the Northern Crater Shield sooner and get to Sephiroth sooner than in the OG, allowing Holy to activate quicker than in the OG timeline. Her being dead or alive for this is incidental.

[@breadloaf1925]

Yeah You're right, Alot of people think that Lifestream is needed to destroy meteor but it was never that way, Holy is the ultimate weapon against meteor, it never needed lifestream it only needed lifestream to destroy meteor in the OG because the team defeated sephiroth and activated holy too late, and if things happens the same way then it will end in a loop with sephiroth changing time once again. Meteor could easily be stopped without the help of lifestream if the team managed to get to sephiroth and beat him sooner before Meteor gets too close to the planet.
