Sora Light and then cloud throw his buster sword next to this soldier

[@monkeydjimmy5169]

They went training together that's why . The rest are only following orders from *Shinra* and they don't give a shit . Same happened with *Angeal* - *Genesis - *Sephiroth* they used to be a big deal and everyone was talking about them . Once *Genesis* betrays them and leave no one dares or care to speak about him anymore . *Angeal* dies from *Zack's* hands nobody speaks about him anymore . *Sephiroth* is *assumed* for *dead* ( he is not ) no one speaks or cares about him anymore . *Zack* trains thousands of new recruits and create a *bond* with them , *Shinra* order them to kill him and afterwards they never speak or care about him again . All these *4 soldiers* who used to be such a big talk and famous everywhere now its like they never *existed* . Which brings me to my point *Shinra* is like *CIA* they always clean up there shit and never talk about it again . If you did 💀🔫 . *Shinra* is a cold heartless company who doesn't give a shit who dies and who lives . That's why it makes this game more *intense* and *interesting* ! But even the soldier don't give a fuck . Its like *Aerith* said to *Zack* they fight and they love it ....

SoulRock indeed. The fact that also the shinra grunts recognise him could help explain how they manage to get into the Parade thing and get to costa del sol. Not that whole assume he is a soldier out of uniform, but maybe like going through the grunts network of friends, helping to get their buddy who seems to obviously be suffering from some form of mental issue, like maybe amnesia and get him back in with his fellow grunts in shinra security. Kunsel likely pulling a lot of favours to help get cloud and company over to costa del sol. Which I am sure they will get into in part 2.

Cloud always had the potential to be an incredible warrior, He was just insecure. His true ability/willpower manifested after watching the massacre of everyone in his home town including his mother by the person he admired most. Furthermore Sephiroth had been stabbed in the back by the buster sword which must've near enough cut him in half. Cloud got the back stab because Sephiroth was distracted by the fact he had been reunited with Jenova for the first time. In fact when we see the cutscene of Sephiroth encased in Materia in the Northern Crater on disc 2, Sephiroth lower body is gone, suggesting that even his miraculous body could not heal that wound.

It's interesting seeing another Shinra Infantryman and going from pure hostility to friendly. I just wish we got to see Kunsel. For the record, Kunsel would have mopped the floor with Roche, that would have been cool to see since Kunsel would probably ally with Cloud.

[@thebukojoeplays]

Kunsel would likely be 1st Class at this point. He was 2nd Class in Crisis Core IIRC. Roche is a mere 3rd Class. I kinda wish we get ranked SOLDIERS as optional superbosses in Rebirth akin to the Valkyries in GoW 2018 and Berserkers in GoW:R because Roche really shown how even a 3rd Class is already a one-man army.

[@BiggestGal]

Makes me happy to know that Kunsel is still alive.

[@debussy7538]

"we have them surrounded sir" "YES I can see that" lol

[@DVRKSTXR]

Watch that SOLDIER in particular become the MVP of the story. Coming in clutch at the last second when Cloud needs help the most. I’m practically expecting it at this point with the amount of screen time he’s gotten as a background character.

[@abdilee4108]

So umm I’m just here to see Tomar so where’s the big jolly giant🤔

[@MrTZUNA27]

Where is he?? So I can look at him and say “Look Tomar it’s you!!”

[@Squeaky245]

@@MrTZUNA27 I believe he played one of the actual SOLDIERs, not a Public Security officer, so look out for that.

[@abc4781]

I love the fact that he mentioned Kunsel.

[@taigh1100]

Did you notice how tifa didn't miss a beat on noticing cloud's condition there? little details like that are really sticking out.

[@RiverLionn]

1:56 wild Matthew Mercer appears

[@thepillowhead2453]

He’s everywhere!

[@BobBob-up8fz]

*Gets surrounded by Soliders* Former friend: "YEEEES! I know him! He's a friend from work!" :D *Cloud awkwardly waves*

[@Igor63749]

That one unlucky soldier who got cut in half just because he was between cloud and the train

[@kingdomgames9517]

Dude, that soldier got scared so bad, that I feel so sorry for him

[@jose.p1527]

me too poor dude

[@sanzianagoglinache8696]

Me too

[@gekkokkid]

i like that they added this small moments in the remake, makes the story more deeper. i mean we all already know what will happen, but this makes the story more immersive.

[@Jdotbdots]

Kunsel should honestly get a role in the remake series. At the very least give him a face. I’m surprised Square Enix didn’t exploit cloud being in Shinra in the past, he could have buddies that refused to fight him or even help him as side missions.

[@endercy4167]

Dunno if anyone has pointed this out but the guy voicing the guard is the same man who voiced Johnny Cage in MKX & 11 Andrew Bowen.

[@jenn5628]

I'm 3 years late but I knew he sounded familiar I just couldn't put my finger on it

[@eclipse8640]

For the sake of the video you didn't have to add the entire motorcycle scene, but you did and I thank you for it

[@whispine8601]

I kinda feel sorry for the SOLDIER old buddy of cloud. He dosen't remember him and now his enemy

[@jakunjaken2475]

Love how those two infantrymen dont have any suspicions lol

[@Honeysmile13]

That's pretty screwed up to have just scarred your former buddy like that, cloud

[@hwanniggles187]

If it was to get him out of the way as well as save him, i wouldve done the same thing

[@FlyingRaijin52]

Betcha those aren't the same person.

[@jewii3824]

How can Kunsel still be working for Shinra after Zack was killed though?

[@monkeydjimmy5169]

I have no *idea* ...... Maybe he doesn't know it ? Or ..... I don't know we need *part2 and 3*

[@JimHawking-]

Gotta pay the bills somehow right?

[@wackierbean9744]

In CC he says to zack in his last email that he is trying to reach a higher position so he is able to help him

[@allenwjs]

Maybe Kunsel is 1st Class by this point and meets Cloud during Part 2 or 3

[@thetimekeeper955]

Shinra is the best source of information Kunsel could ask for, especially given that the situation surrounding Cloud and Zack was of Shinra origin and Shinra would muzzle anyone with any knowledge of what was done to them. Kunsel would be an idiot to leave the company; he would be completely cutting himself off. The question is whether Kunsel knows Zack is dead, and if so, why would he bother with Cloud? Unless Kunsel doesn't believe Zack is dead and thinks Cloud would know where he is, Kunsel really shouldn't care one whit about Cloud-they're strangers to each other as far as the compilation is concerned (at least as far as we know).

[@darrylrobson4376]

That's not a SOLDIER, it's just a regular Shinra security officer. SOLDIER wear different armor and use swords, like Roche.

[@isaacngjunhan2180]

I thought the title was pointing to Kunsel

[@darrylrobson4376]

​@@isaacngjunhan2180 But he never meets Kunsel, the Shinra grunt just says his name and that's it. The title must be referring to the regular Shinra guy.

[@KT-qz9de]

That is infantryman

[@OuzbekNdah]

@@darrylrobson4376 Are you talking about Cloud ? I think they know each other because they were the best zack's friends

[@Mukation]

Yeah, but "SOLDIER" is essentially a special forces unit in the Shinra "military" which the infantrymen are a part of right?

[@nicolaberry9550]

Infantryman: Kunsel! Everyone: **flash backs to crisis core** Everyone: **initiate crying sequence**

[@jonathanlisowsky8140]

Who else lovea how the humanize enemies. They have their own life, their own story and thwir own feelings.

[@ForgetTheEnd]

I got way more hyped than I should have when he mentioned Kunsel. I hope to see him in the next game, which I have a feeling that we will.

[@jchuck1737]

When you find out that could was never a soldier was the biggest plot twist in gaming.

[@vksasdgaming9472]

He was a soldier. He just wasn't Soldier. Just a soldier on mission to his hometown and so ashamed of his meager status that chose to remain unrecognized. A nobody in company of Legend and a hero.

[@Ese1Pac]

4:50 cloud is on some Devil May Cry shit now 😂

[@ZeldaLover6]

That part was great.

[@joinmagia]

Man... Played this back in 1997, can't believe i lived to see this beautiful plot in a ffv7 game remaked / reimagined. Is such a privilege you know? I think it's the only game i feel "100% inside it" while playing, geezus, such charisma this lore have!

[@ShinyUmbreon106]

Makes you think how the story would’ve gone if cloud and them would’ve waited for Kunsel to come down cause he would’ve mentioned and asked what happened to Zack and asked why cloud was in a soldier outfit and would’ve explained that he wasn’t a soldier

[@redozmasoma]

00:48 I just realized that's Johnny Cage's VA lol

[@JoonCrest-sk4on]

Cloud gets caged lmao

[@muiwanderer8798]

He's trying to get reunioun with Cloud with his International Love.

[@Colgruv]

Can't believe they kept that pickup truck jumping from a third story window...

[@Dtitilator]

Not gonna lie... I actually waited for him to come back.

[@usagimodoki8660]

Oof! Shinra grunts calling Cloud buddy while Tifa is there.

[@yuh9157]

I hope Kunsel shows up in rebirth, he's a soldier second class so he's stronger than roche, it would be cool to see him without the helmet too and be an ally to cloud

[@CustosMorte]

Was a bit disappointed we didn't get Kunsel in Rebirth after we got Cissnei. Hopefully he shows up in the next game

[@NyJoanzy]

2:11 - that is some parody esc dialogue. Love it.

[@vegaaltair8478]

Well first of all,Cloud is never become a SOLDIER in a first place Second, those guys recognizing Cloud are just infantryman,which is understandable why they recognize him,because Cloud used to work as fellow infantryman in Shinra as well And third,holy crud KUNSEL?? Man, he was such a bro in CC,hopefully he got promoted to 1st class..kinda wished we met him one way or another in next part of the game

[@signas501]

I kinda wonder if this unnamed character will be able to cause a ripple effect throughout SOLDIER. If Cloud still being alive is enough to make others question their orders, imagine what kind of chaos would occur if future SOLDIER activities caused an internal power struggle. As if the timeline wasn't fucked up enough at the end of the first game...

[@CornBreadtm1]

I'm just happy that Kunsel is still alive. Hope he made first class!

[@Ft9218]

"WHY CANT WE HIT HIM" Cause your shooting at him not where he will be

[@breezlebit]

If Kunsel doesn’t make an appearance in rebirth I’m gonna scream lol

[@sleepyprinny]

I love the Compilation/Crisis Core references!

[@phoenixbluex]

Cloud isn't treating Zack's sword very well.

[@hirokun8588]

Angeal actually

[@cnretrowolf]

Zack didnt treat it well either lol

[@hirokun8588]

Use brings about wear, tear and rust

[@emcee009]

They kept referencing this one soldier who knew Cloud like it was going to go somewhere story-wise, but it didn't. Hope they expand on this in the next game.

[@axceljulio5747]

They are not just passing mentions though. Most of them are some form of foreshadowing for the next parts. The Wutai and Kunsel mention are two of these.

[@066kshitizvsingh4]

Imagine if the whispers prevented the random infantryman old friend and Kunsel from actually meeting cloud that very point

[@HandheldGamer1991]

Just imagine knowing cloud amd being there and wanting to talk to him and geting slashed because he has some sort of amnesia

[@THELYRICALTMAN]

Sonic you played Crisis Core, you'll know Zack had 3 soldier friends who you could randomly chat with between chapters. Kunsel was Luxiere were both friendly with Zack Fair, and were frequent in the game. They were on some missions with Cloud in the game as well and since Zack and Cloud built that friendship it makes sense they remember him and are slightly find of him.

[@Charlie94781]

The Shinra security uniforms look totally epic in the remake
