Tifa's Cloud's hero as well ❤

[@houstonscott4362]

This is proof that through a lot of FF7 leading up to the Lifestream scene, Cloud didn’t feel like himself. Only pieces of him surfaced here in there through his interactions with Tifa and their past. She was literally the key to him coming back to himself and his feelings also resurfacing fully when he did.

Theirs a difference, he's wearing a military solider Uniform carrying a blade too heavy for normal people to life. Aeris was just some little girl on the streets. Cloud is a spectical

[@brainfreeze91]

Cloud literally regresses to what his 13 year old self thought was an ideal Soldier. The mako poisoning and the shock of seeing Tifa after so long must have jolted his brain into regressing back to when they were in Nibelheim. Crisis Core Cloud is shy and awkward, sure, but he's a lot more mature than this Cloud if you think about it. But it sure is a good thing Tifa showed up, because the alternate was that messed up mako junkie state he was in.

[@funkyfranx]

It's his Jenova cells. Jenova was a shapeshifting alien who had the ability to mimic others perfectly, which she used to turn the Cetra against one another by turning into their loved ones. Those with her cells receive a diluted version of this ability. In Cloud's case, the Jenova cells picked up certain traits from Zack, then when he bumps into Tifa at the station, it reads Tifa's memories of Cloud and merges them both to form a false persona

I’ve seen people complain about Tifa not telling Cloud the truth right away in Rebirth but they forget that Cloud wouldn’t have recovered from it. And Tifa didn’t know enough to put him back together when they first met, she doesn’t even know that he got experimented on. She has memory loss too because of when she fell on her head as a kid so it was better that she played the long game. Cloud would’ve been an even easier target for Sephiroth to control him if Tifa had truth him the truth right away because Cloud would’ve had even more intense Mako Poisoning and would’ve been in a Vegetable State. Also, Tifa was always confronting him about what really happened so that she can help him but he kept dodging her. Although annoying that he does that, it played out right in the end. And Part 3 of Remake will show why it works out that way

Cloud gets Mako poisoning a second time when he falls into the lifestream where he is put into a catatonic state again. That's why I don't believe in the idea that he somehow has Mako poisoning throughout the entirety of the story, Mako poisoning dulls a persons senses and makes them unaware of their surroundings.

[@MrEvilproductions]

This scene would have been a perfect epilogue for Crisis Core:Reunion. After the credits finish, we see Cloud barely functioning and mixed up images of Zack's memories with him in place play as he stares at nothing. Then Tifa snaps him out of it with Zack fading away from all memories.

[@NoNo-zl8wg]

Play the original it has an epilogue, and it's cheesy too.

[@ChoompaLoompa1985-uw8lw]

Tifa found Cloud at his lowest, his weakest...nursed him back to health, put up with his schizophrenia and helped him recover his true self. Aerith also helped, but mostly because she was nostalgia struck for Zack and tried to fish out her old boyfriend out of him, discovering to no avail that it's a lost cause. I really love it how they made her flinch with frustration on a few occasions because of it, dispelling the angelic aura around her. Our experience of Clerith from OG and remake is all from Cloud's messed up point of view. His make belief coping mechanism. Our infatuation with Aerith as fans and our inability to differentiate her human character from the magical person she appears to be is also part of that complex. The creators outlined the hero's journey towards self discovery this way on purpose an we are part of the experiment...which is genius storytelling. Aerith is just a girl with a hard life, who fell in love with the little prince who came crash landing twice...She died trying to save the planet, she had much fun along the way but the last we see of her true self was at the temple of the ancients...after her death its all just life stream gliches and fragments of Cloud's guilt ridden panic attacks which only cease by the end of Advent Children.

[@randonologic4684]

I love how insistent Tifa is. Three times she insists that Cloud stay in Sector 7 where she lives. "Something was wrong. I felt there was something strange about the things you talked about. All the things you didn't know that you should, and other things you shouldn't know that you did. I wanted to make sure... But then I heard you were leaving, and I didn't want that. I didn't know what to do. So, I thought I needed more time. And that's why I told you about the AVALANCHE job. I wanted to be with you and watch you." FF7 is so damn good.

[@funkyfranx]

I love this part too. But in the Japanese, she doesn't say 'But then I heard you were leaving', she says something like 'Every time I brought it up, you drifted further away.' Gives a very different impression; it's sad the translation was so bad

@ShadowriverUB I'm not sure about that. When older-Millennials like myself and those of my age group were children, we were also considered as the most spoilt and over-nurtured Gen there ever was. But I've at least met a few very intelligent and very wise ("Perennial students" and the like) in each generation. It's just that the older folks had more time to learn from their past mistakes and to think about things. Now, many obviously chose not to use their time for that (LOL), though that could be said for all age groups. There IS a through-line of wisdom that crosses all generations, but christ, there are a lot of people who never learned how to think critically, practice humility, or discern truth from illusion.

[@AdamW-eo2yq]

I have a solid feeling that this scene in Remake part 3 will play out VERY similarly to this ever crisis version. I’m even more confident in my thinking because in the end of Chapter 1 of Rebirth, Cloud says to Tifa “you know I can’t tell you that” when she asks him where he was for 5 years. This mirrors this scene where he says “Sorry, I can’t talk about my time at Shinra. It’s confidential”

[@mikev8746]

Damn, this is exactly what I was thinking. I remember reading people being confused about that scene. But having seen this video I wasn't at all. I wonder if they add some things to it though. This works in text bubbles and chibi models. But the moment it becomes AAA modern graphics with voice acting etc the scene will not allot more. Hopefully the new additions are extra layers just as they did with anything up till now. For example, not one time does she mention how much he has changed here. I mean sure she's surprised but you'd think that it would be more jarring to see him like this if the last memory you have is at the water tower/that next spring when he leaves as a boy.

[@jenniferchough]

I agree with you because this EC character episode for Cloud is written by Mr. Nojima (all the character episodes are) and he’s the scenario writer for the Remake project so I’m sure it will align.

Cloud through his Jenova cells literally read her mind. And used the memories of Nibelheim to put together his SOLDIER persona.

[@sototallysora9176]

a more realistic answer would be: Cloud was in a state of akinetic catatonia caused by his trauma, his deep sleep in Hojo’s lab, mako poisoning and jenova cells. Akinetic Catatonia includes a huge lack in dopamine in the brain. which is why dopamine can cure catatonia.

Not only that but we know she tried to ask about the past but then Jenova blocks her and he glitches out. This was talked about in the OG JP version. She said she started ask about it but he then his mind started to wander far away (idk why it was taken out of the EN release) and he would get worse. So it makes sense she stopped asking him. Then she even began to wonder about her own memories and if she was wrong. After all, Cloud was recounting things accurately but she just didn’t recall him being there. And now in Rebirth, they have Tifa addressing this, thinking maybe the Whispers affected her memories too and that’s why Cloud’s memories don’t match hers. So there are actually good reasons why he doesn’t get confronted by her (or Aerith for that matter since she also knows something is up with him).

Final fantasy 7 ever crisis, a brand new game that game out on pc and mobile platforms. It retells final fantasy 7, crisis core, and a original story about the original first class soldiers and a young Sephiroth it’s a fun game

This would've been a good game if they'd just made it a normal release on a game platform instead of a heavily monetized mobile gacha shitstorm. Like just a faithful modern-day remaster, like what they did with Spyro Reignited. The original game with new graphics but kept in the chibi-ish style of the original.

[@unskillfullymasterful]

they already have ff 7 on like every platform . . i dont get this mentality of you people . its a free game to play as you like, most people who play it have not spent a penny . ive spent a total 2 dollars and press the close button on every pop up that tries to sell me something . is it really that difficult to ignore these things? what do you guys do when you go out and the person at the counter tries to upsell ? do you then complain also since its basically 'monetization' in oral form

[@Adanu191]

It's both. The whole reason for his eyes is the Mako. The only difference between him and a someone else with mako poisoning is that Tifa manages go get Cloud to build something out of his memories. He got very lucky here.

He had it up until he meets Tifa, in that exact moment is when he recovers (Jenova cells kicking in)

Their Rebirth date begs to differ

[@AShroudOfTruth]

@@S_Blitz It was just fanfare, and does not affect the story itself. If it were like you said, then all dates would "beg to differ". The fact that it's just fun fanfare and in no way affecting the linear storyline comes straight from SE themselves.

[@AShroudOfTruth]

​@@S_Blitz Have you ever listened to the Final Fantasy VII Symphony? Nobuo Uematsu himself wrote the music for this symphony. If you know all about it, then you know that Aerith & Cloud gondolla date is canon, the others are players choice for fun and personal preference. There's actually a book with description, but since I have it typed up, I'll make it easy for you and paste it here. Explanation of the second movement titled “Words Drowned by Fireworks” opens with a short introduction to Aerith through her theme before starting the titular song “Words Drowned by Fireworks”, portraying the date with her and Cloud. Manifestations of “Cloud’s Theme“ make appearances throughout, and the couple hit it off while chimes flutter around like birds, then fireworks cut in. Afterwards, Aerith’s theme begins to play, but just before it fully blossoms the attention shifts back to Cloud for his exposition. His theme begins rather timidly as he begins to sort out his emotions. Fragments of Aerith’s and Tifa’s themes run throughout as Cloud’s theme becomes more confident, and his relationship grows with them. Just as Aerith is about to come back into the picture, Tifa’s theme cuts in almost intrusively, and Aerith’s theme gets drowned out. Tifa takes center stage, and Cloud’s theme makes a slight appearance with Tifa’s. But as Cloud remembers Aerith, he is left with a dilemma. Shrinking down, the second part of Cloud’s theme plays, again timidly as the birds return with Aerith, who tries to find her way back into his theme. Eventually the two cellos are able to harmonize, and Cloud realizes his feelings for her [Cloud chooses to be with Aerith]. Her theme finally moves into full blossom, and Cloud’s theme intertwines perfectly with hers. Although they are able to find each other briefly, Sephiroth suddenly interrupts them, leaving things in disarray. Aerith and Cloud try to find each other again, as different fragments from each theme enter in on different keys in desperate attempts to return to harmony. Things become more dire as Sephiroth steadily resurfaces yet again. Aerith’s theme repeatedly strives to make it through but to no avail; Sephiroth impales her with his blade, all she can manage now is quick, labored breaths. Sephiroth draws his sword out from her, and Aerith’s breaths slowly tapers off, until she breathes her last. Final Fantasy VII (Symphony in Three Movements) : II.
