Cloud having headaches for almost 9 minutes straight

I’m hoping this is all of them. XD
Since the first part of the Final Fantasy 7 remake came out a couple of days ago, I thought I would put together this. Don’t know why though.
Final Fantasy VII remake belongs to Square Enix.

Update 5/19/20: I did not expect this video to get attention. But I’m glad you guys like it! Update 11/14/21: My gosh this video somewhat still gets attention. I’ve read all of the comments so far, and I can’t thank enough for the support. Not gonna lie some of the comments made me laugh lol But all that aside I really appreciate it. A couple of people said there was a really nice transition near the end with Cloud. What I remember from editing this is that that transition was actually not intentional. It just sorta happened to be in there and I kept it. Anyway, enough of the history lesson, really appreciate the support. Love ya all! 😊

[@victoriatrabulsy4731]

What’s like when you’re still at work and you get a really bad stress head on one side and slowly turns into a migraine. It’s kind of ironic that this video popped up because I didn’t get enough sleep and now my right side has been slowly starting to hurt through out the day. But I think the worst headache I ever had in my life was when I was 9 plus all I can remember I was constantly crying laying down and being able to anything as just constant throbbing pain, it felt like my head was going collapse in on it’s self. I thought was going to die when because it wouldn’t stop. I think it was worst then when I got my wisdom teeth removed because I was able to take medicine that worked right away. But good video everyone can relate too. And poor Cloud and anyone who suffers from nonstop headaches.

[@Harri_James]

Dang I thought I remembered this game well but the headaches are way more prominent than I remembered (was actually looking for rebirth clips)

[@3hotrachas]

so is this kinda like harry potter seizure thing??? i called them by it so i can understand it more

[@rosesweetcharlotte]

So PTSD can actually cause seizures very similar to this. These are essentially caused by the changes made to Cloud's body and simple old PTSD.

"you good?" and then when he says "I'm Fine" they just take it at face value like... bestie... he just backed away from nothingness in fear.... and approached a test tube like he was about to pass out, touched it, and then DID pass out........ hes not doing that great

[@rosesweetcharlotte]

The thing is, what exactly can they do? They have to get out of the facility, they can't leave him there and they can't really afford to not have him fight. Yes, it would be ideal that they stop what they're doing and get him to a doctor, but that just isn't going to happen.

Man, we really were robbed of a Kunsel scene in Remake

[@davidmunroe-glada2098]

I think there might a been way more Headaches he suffers throughout the game on any Memories he has at random even beyond the ReMake: It’s interesting to note that in this video Aerith try asking Cloud if he know who Zack is? & He could not hear his Name though her! He Forgot him? Perhaps!?

[@InfernoBlazeFilms]

Yeah, I know there are a couple more than this. Yeah, about Cloud might not remember Zack, don’t know about that. Kinda hard to figure out. But I think there is a scene in the original both of Cloud and Aerith had this similar conversation. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me.

[@davidmunroe-glada2098]

Me: Onto: Remake: Methodology: Oh yeah I remember now! Cloud did forget him! In the FF7 OG he does remember Zack at only after Sephiroth tells him right before Cloud give him the Black Materia at the North Cave but at this point Sephiroth tells Cloud he’s a lifeless puppet made by Hojo who is a Imposter of Zack without actually telling Cloud who Zack is!! So Is it all Coming back to you yet? Seens no one on the net gets this one Fact other then me? 🧐so in other words I don’t think there’s a story-change here just a whole lot of extra story’s in the ReMake! Surprisingly not a lot of people know this but in FF7ACC The Blu-Ray Movie Zack spoke to Cloud a few times while on DVD only once! Meaning in the ReMake we are Probably just seeing his ghost at the end there!! Who is reacting his death over & over! & Can also be aware of what’s going on at the same time, outside of space & time perhaps.. when one watches enough paranormal ghost shows they do tell you about the 2 types of Hauntings! One that repeats their death & one that knows you are there!! Sorry I made all that Explanation at bit too long here.. but my bad...

[@InfernoBlazeFilms]

DAVID MUNROE-GLADA No. It’s fine man. This is a good explanation.

It's his mind protecting itself. It knows he can't handle the truth... so it essentially "blocks" out hearing Zack's name. It's a coping technique. We all know what eventually happens when he learns the truth.

Weirdest thing is that as someone with DID, I have those flashback headaches all of the time as apart of the PTSD areas. And online, it says that he has a form of DID. Wondering if Mako poisoning around the age of 14 can cause issues such as OSDD-1a maybe?

[@rosesweetcharlotte]

It seems to be both. Cloud was not the picture of mental health even before he was exposed to a shit ton of mako and Jenovah. His hometown and mother being destroyed right in front of him, the whole thing with Sephiroth, Zack's death, him being tortured for four years straight... All of that just cracked him and the Jenovah cells and mako poisoning just made it worse.

Sometimes. Not as much as here. I know at the first reactor the Screen goes red and it says "Watch out! This isn't any normal Reactor!" Sephiroth I'm guessing. And then 10 Hours later is when you finally see who Sephiroth is lol. Which is right after this game.
