[@saevin7th]

supposedly, the whispers are guardians of fate that are trying to make it so everything follows the original storyline as is (the OG ff7's story), which is why they always intervene when something happens that wasn't supposed to (like saving barret cause he doesn't die there on the OG game), now that they've destroyed the whispers, they've changed time, and what's gonna happen is not something that has ever been seen before, is the point sephiroth is making

[@FoxTenson]

Its...the game is a bit of a stealth sequel. Seph is trying to change things using the lifestream and the ghosts were trying to stop him but couldn't. At the same time they were causing crap to happen regardless of what people wanted or intended, so they were enemies to both player and Seph. Defeating the arbiter of fate freed this timeline from the planet ghosts' grasp so the party can make their own future in this new timeline Seph created to win. Aerith knows this, she knew everything that was going to happen as just like Seph, she's part of the life stream. She helped counter Seph and open the door to an entirely new world and story. I see it more as a call to sequels and fixing a terrible fate. It's a meta call out to the player, really. The REMAKE title is because not only is it a remake but its a KH style title explaining the plot, Seph is trying to remake the world, and now you can too. Sure folks are upset but when I was in high school and the original came out, everyone wanted a sequel. This is a mix of remake and sequel. its weird, very nomura, but I'm still interested.

[@YKplaysMC]

@@FoxTenson Great theory. That's pretty much what I also got from the ending. A question I have though is that since the Whispers were trying to stop Sepiroth from messing around with the timeline, wouldn't destroying them at the end of the game let Sepiroth do whatever he wants?

[@Nero_PR]

The cinematography of the game is miles ahead of the Advent Children movie. I rewatched it this last Sunday and there are so many angles poorly chosen for the battle scenes. There were times I really was asking myself how some of those shots made through the final product. The choreography was another aspect that improved a lot, take the battle sequence where Cloud is fighting in tunnel against the shadows of Sephiroth, the battle per see is pretty cool and all, but there was one scene where Cloud is basically flying for a good 15 seconds while maintaining his speed together with the bikes in front and behind him, which is ludicrous. Now, back to the game. The chapter 4 fight against Rouge, when Cloud jumps to deal the final blow to Rouge's bike still carried some floaty aspects but it was really brief. Take chapter 18 Motor Ball boss, the final cutscene with Red XIII and Cloud was simply outstanding. The Shinra soldiers getting mauled during the chase sequence was incredible too. The only aspect the 2005 movie can't be topped is the number of resources they had for the environment and poly count for extra things that can't be done with real-time graphics. Maybe in another 20 to 30 years.

[@kyzersoze8408]

J ‘ well tbh I think sephiroth can’t be judged for being too close to cloud. Think about it, he isn’t human like cloud and the others, he’s basically a jenova human hybrid and we know that square has implied many times that jenova is a female monster who possess viral cells. The reason that he possibly overpowered jenovas will had to do with the fact that he’s a much more versatile version of jenova because of being part human you can’t really determine where jenova begins and where she ends. It’s also implied somewhere in the ultimania that sephiroth and jenova by this point are one and the same and if this is true with jenova being a female organism whose instincts revolve around spreading herself by infecting others it’s not hard to figure out why he seems so obsessed with cloud who despite being a grunt nearly killed him.

[@connorgray7688]

Thanks for the tips! Here’s the setup I used and defeated Sephiroth during his “eight” cast. I still had Cloud and Aerith’s Limit left at the end, and 20-40 MP on each hero. Don’t forget to switch Materia and equipment during the cutscene by holding square before the fight begins. All my materia and weapons are pretty much maxed out at this point. Cloud Hard edge Chain bangle Gotter Revival Healing Luck up First strike Stagger Steadfast HP Up HP Up HP Absorb - Parry Aerith Reinforced Rune Bracelet Revival First Strike Steadfast MP UP MP UP HP UP HP UP MAGNIFY - healing Revival Barrett Big Bertha FORCE BRACELET HEALING CARCANET ASSESS SKILL MASTER STEADFAST LIGHTNING MP UP REVIVAL HEALING CHAKRA MP UP Tips - Use Ascension when Sephiroth’s stagger bar is low. Once you stagger sephiroth, the damage caps and the fight progresses to another stage. Cloud’s Punisher Mode basic attacks should be enough to progress the fight once Sephiroth is staggered. It was really helpful to begin each fight with 2 ATB. - Conserve healing until party members are below 4K or so. This fight involves a ton of guarding, anticipating, and reaction so instant healing when low is not always the best solution. The healing carcanet combined with a maxed out pray is around 3K heal for every teammate so that’s a good rule of thumb for when to use pray, especially because Barrett’s ATB charges so fast. - During Telluric Fury, Counterstance - During Hell’s Gate, you’ll take 2K to 3K Damage - Aeolian (he jumps up), dodge - When you need to heal, wait until after Sephiroth uses and ability. He typically focuses the character that you’re using, so try to heal with an inactive party member (Control cloud and heal with Aerith) - Switch around party members a lot. This spreads the damage. Casting magnify Regen will heal most of the damage if you’re really good at switching - Don’t be timid about stockpiling ATB for when you need it. I occasionally had 6 bars of ATB to perfectly time a pray then magnify cure, or awaiting the inevitable death of a 1HP ally to ensure i could instant revive them between Sephiroth abilities. It can be pretty devastating to have a revive cancelled. So many abilities can be canceled that it’s ok to just save it for the right moment - Use Steel Skin with Barrett immediately when he joins. I don’t know how long this lasts. If Barrett flies up in the air during Sephiroth Aeroga (Air Yoga), then it’s inactive. If you use it every 8 ATB, it’s not bad because with Skill Master it will proctor your allies ATB to recharge as well (Pray, Steel Skin, Focused Shot) - If you have Carbuncle Summon (DLC), I’d equip it to Barrett. For stage 3 of the fight, giving the party Haste, Barrier, and Manawall (and a magnify curaga/ arise at the end), makes the fight much faster. It’s 100% not necessary, but simply put - you just won’t have the MP or live through all the casts to make this happen otherwise. Definitely definitely not needed, but would probably save 2-3 minutes since you can play really agro during this time and use ATB for damage rather than healing.

That last scene between Cloud and Sephiroth is really incredible. A gorgeous view of view if the cosmos, the way Sephiroth tempts cloud to join him, the fast pace of their duel, and then it's wrapped in some simple but incredible music. I fucking love this scene.

what's the diffrence between the original?

[@doggirl377]

Cloud: He's tough... Aerith: Yeah? So what...screw him Me: ........do...do we have time?

[@negeo1234]

Theory. Sephiroth and Aerith are from the original events of the PlayStation 1 FF7 and have traveled to a different timeline to change the fate of the original story. Which is why the whispers of fate show up, why Aerith and Sephiroth seem to know more than they give off, and why events of the remake don’t align with the original PS1 title.

[@falseprophecy8903]

Different time line from original to Cc which zack is still alive that should have killed him the three unknown soldier's but this is just my speculation that what aerith did must open a branching time line

[@guardian08527]

"Fate is not to be taken lightly" That sounds like something someone would say if they underestimated a person in the past. Is Sephiroth talking about the true past events of Nibelheim in the original game or is he talking about the ending of the 1997 game???

[@emetanti]

Given the supposed timeline fuckery going on with Sephiroth in the Lifestream, probably both.

[@a-shadow-in-the-soul]

He definitely remembers previous events because when Tifa joins the fight he comments “oh the memories”.

[@Cetra29]

He doesn't say that. He says unmei ni sakarau da, kuraudo. That means fight fate, Cloud. The US version is deliberately wrong.

[@MisterSmith00]

They cranked up the animation in this fight...watching your party zip around amidst a sprawling, floating chaos is just amazing to watch. And that final duel between Cloud & Sephiroth...that sound design was fantastic. They dial back the music a bit so you can just hear the hiss of the metal cutting through the air...and you can tell Cloud is breaking his limit just for this. He temporarily vanishes for several moments just to show how fast he's going. ...and yet, we're still only getting a taste of what's to come. Fight's just getting started.

[@AquaJet738]

We can now recreate this fight in Smash Ultimate.

[@lyonvensa]

I just noticed how 'human' like Sephiroth's patterns are. In phase 1, usually when he's not doing anything, he's blocking. If he starts taking damage, he'll dodge back or prepares a counter move. Though it's not shown here, if Cloud blocks Tellenic Fury, he'll immediately use Aeolian Onslaught, which is unblockable. In phase 2 I think he does this faster, and if you're stunned by his slashes, he'll immediately use Aeolian Onslaught to combo. In phase 3 he really often uses magic after using his sword, though not really shown here. Depending on what element he's using, he also has his own 'playstyle', like using ranged attacks more, or using Hell's Gate more often. It really goes well with what makes Sephiroth a terrifying villain. He looks human, but he really isn't.

[@G0d0fHope]
