Cloud Strife | Hollow [Final Fantasy 7 Remake]

[@CozyFinch]

Holy moly, I don’t usually comment on videos but I just couldn’t stop myself here, this is beyond amazing my friend. I instantly got goosebumps at 2:46, the transitions and their sync to the beat of the song are phenomenal. Whatever you do, never stop, keep it up, you have so much potential!

[@threefoldmaker]

Ayeeee I’m glad you enjoyed!

[@hadeness789]

This video hits even more when you complete Cloud's chapter in Ever Crisis.

[@threefoldmaker]

I still have to start Ever Crisis I'm slackingggggg

[@1chibanKasuga]

Still coming back to this video after years

[@Ryzenku]

This reminds me wholesomely that heroes do not regard themselves within the lives of those they save; They lead their lives knowing that the right thing will always be right, Regardless of the Personal STRIFE that They're Facing.

[@Koustav_04]

This video is a masterpiece

[@threefoldmaker]

Thanks for the kind words 🔥

[@DezorianGuy]

Totally. I can't believe this video even exists. It is so far away from everything I watched on KZbin. The creator deserves a fuc+ing medal or something.

This is honestly such an amazing tribute to Remake, and the best edit video of its kind I've seen so far on the game! It's so cinematic and the editing to the music is top notch. Amazing work on this

[@Rhomagus]

Wow! I didn't know there was a version of Hollow with a full orchestra accompaniment. That was really good.

[@threefoldmaker]

Yea it was a recording from the world tour they did a few months ago! They did Hollow there and someone recorded it, so I mixed it with the original version and some covers from other great musicians I mentioned in the description

[@beeanchor7413]

Those transitions though!!! Awesome, I love it!

[@threefoldmaker]

Thank you! Those transitions took a long time to do 😅

[@prettyaverage97]

Thank you so much! I’m making a new ff7r one soon!

[@livith9]

I love this so much! AAAAAHHH!😭 The transitions are insane, I will admit. They left me speechless, but my favorite part in this is the beginning. When you used the dialogue and scenes in a way that made it seem like Cloud was trying to shake himself out of his catatonic state and wake up. That gave me goosebumps.

[@threefoldmaker]

So glad you enjoyed! Yea that’s kind of what I was trying to do with the intro, it was cloud remembering parts of his past when his true self is talking to him! Can’t wait for part 2 when we can see more of those scenes

[@livith9]

@@threefoldmaker same! I’m extremely excited to see what’s in store for us in part 2

[@threefoldmaker]

@@livith9 looking forward to crisis core reunion since I never played the original game and I really look forward to see how they adapt the Nibelhiem scenes with the upgraded models and voicelines

[@livith9]

@@threefoldmaker Oh hell yeah! That too! I loved the original and can’t wait for reunion version! I’m really curious how the new voice actor for Sephiroth, Tyler hoechlin will play a more human Sephiroth. We’ve seen him pull of remake Sephiroth, so it’ll be interesting to see how he handles the crisis core version. And the nibelheim mission in HD? Yes please!

[@threefoldmaker]

@@livith9 yea I’m very interested too! A lot of people aren’t a big fan of his voice as sephy but it’s grown on me a lot. I Lowkey kinda wanted to wait and see these scenes remade in part 2, but at least crisis core can hold us over until part 2 releases

[@invo6394]

I literally don’t think any edit, amv, anything like that, could possibly top this. The masterful edits to the song just make the emotions so much more powerful. The clips and voices are used at literally such perfect moments. The back half, the sword editing as the song picks up, just wonderful. Couldn’t ask for anything more perfect.

[@threefoldmaker]

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@ChoompaLoompa1985-uw8lw]

Cloud isn't anybody's puppet. His gentle, anxious heart, his fragile mind and uncertain path generate muse like a refined, well carved and familiar tune from a timeless music box. Someone priceless is gone from your life, vanishing as quickly as they came, leaving behind an irreconcilable sadness and an endless question mark. This is harrowingly, reminiscent of the grief we feel over someone who committed suicide.

[@UchihaMadara-pl1fk]

My interpretation from what I get from this song is more about Cloud still grieving from the lost of his mom and his shattered mind trying to piece himself back together but unable to. Hollow is Cloud's way of coping with everything by stripping himself of any attachments for anyone. Feeling nothing for no one but only for himself due to his past traumas.

[@sharynmorgan944]

It's not about Cloud's mother, it was proven to be about Cloud's feelings for Aerith, it even plays in her sector 5 slums when she left his side for awhile during a quest.

[@BleednDreamz]

Can you post a video of the mix you ended up making of all the various versions of the song. This is actually really cool. The entire video is great with great transitions, both from an editing, but also the dialogue. However I am really enjoying the way you mixed the various music.

I really believe this is about Tifa, when she brings Cloud’s real self back. He longs for her when they’re apart. But it depends because this can be about Aerith if you’re a Clerith. It’s a general song not necessarily specifically about a specific pairing, just evoking a specific emotion. I think it’s Tifa because He’s hollow and howling before she pieces him back

This is the only Hollow edit that is correct. This song is not about love song like how few people assume it is. The biggest influence for Cloud is Zack himself, while the rest is just his supports (Tifa, Barret, Aerith, Yuffie, etc). Zack memory lives in Cloud to guide his heart. The ballad has a little bit of Crisis Core in it.

[@timonalexandr151]

Song is from Cloud's perspective, singing about Zack.

[@lotus2001]

@@timonalexandr151 Why would you think its about Zack? Its very obviously about Aerith and how he longs for her embrace again.

[@timonalexandr151]

@@lotus2001 Here is how the lyrics fit Zack: I would be lost, drifting alone Floating up high, time after time - Cloud would be lost without Zack's help, stuck in his coma 'floating' around in his own head. And there you'd be, shining brightly Your smiling face, to guide my way - Cloud's memories of Zack were always of him smiling. Especially in the pov shots (in the car, during briefings etc). Bloody and bruised, brought to my knees When beaten down, when broken up You would appear, reach out to me Heal every wound, and make me whole Was it all a dream? Will I never know? Foolish and blind, to everything - Cloud starting to doubt his memories, not yet aware of his true self. Had I realized, had I thought it through Would you be here, in my embrace? - If Cloud remembered earlier, would things have been different. Shine bright, once more Guide me, to you Smile bright, once more This time, I will never let you go With your every smile, hiding something more Dark mysteries, lurking beneath But I was consumed, with this emptiness This selfishness, this void to fill - Cloud taking up Zack's persona, almost 'stealing it' selfishly for his own ego. Hear me, once more Show me, your smile This time, for sure I'll see, the truth hidden inside your tears But I, I know That you're, long gone But I, I will Go on, howling and hollow To never know. - Coming to terms with his death, 'howling' like a wolf. A wolf was the physical manifestation of Cloud's grief over Zack's death in AC.

[@lotus2001]

@@timonalexandr151You are stretching the lyrics so far it’s baffling.

[@timonalexandr151]

@@lotus2001 Haha. I laughed, because I'm not stretching. Cloud would not be drifting alone aimlessly without Aerith. Without Zack, Cloud would be drifting alone aimlessly. Aerith does not guide Cloud, Zack does guide Cloud. Aerith does not reach out to Cloud or heal him when he's beaten down and broken up. Zack does, when he carries an injured Cloud half way across the planet. Why would Cloud think Aerith was a dream? Lmao? But Cloud WOULD (and does in Rebirth) think Zack is a dream, because he only remembers parts of Zack and doesn't remember that they were best friends until Nibelheim. If Cloud would have snapped out of his Mako induced coma, Zack would still be alive. I could go on, but I think this is enough. Its obvious that the song is clearly about Zack. Lmao.
