Seeing Cloud must also be a sign that Zack is alive, which is all the more sadder. Seeing as how Kunsel was worried about him and said that even though he's a fugitive, he'll still have his back. And Zack has been training SOLDIERs and Infantrymen too.

[@Orion_TheyThem]

Fun fact, in the Ultimania for this, Nomura states that the reason why Cloud is so aloof and "cool" and then dorky/rash the next minute is because his memories were lost. To him, he's got the mentality of a teenager, in an adult's body. And he's trying to compensate and act older than he (mentally) is. Which makes SO much more sense. It always used to anger me when people said Cloud was too "broody" and "angsty" and I could never fully make them understand why.

[@Ramsey276one]

That actually makes sense Let’s see what happens next...

[@CHEESEPUFF_7]

Oh my god. That's so awesome

[@SuperEkkorn]

while i do agree it explains a lot, it also opens a few new cans considering we're then exposing essentially a teenager to a lot of violence and sexual situations, in addition to have a lot of older people making advances towards him, as tifa, aerith and jessie are all grown women. which makes it less cute imo.

[@Orion_TheyThem]

@@SuperEkkorn not really. He is an adult. He just lost his memories. But no one else knows that (except for Tifa when she jumps in the Mako and pieces his memories back together). Also, nothing physically ever happens and Aerith mainly does it to tease him. And by the time Tifa and Cloud Do get together, he has his memories back.

[@Orion_TheyThem]

@@SuperEkkorn also, he knows that he is in his 20s and that his memories were lost (hence the trying to act older). So, he's not really a 15yo. It's more that those are the last memories he has.

[@MrSuperbeast92]

Also... It's technically about Sephiroth's attempt to "Remake" the timeline. After he was defeated in AC, he stated "I will never be a memory." And it's likely that he some how found a way to send his memories back through time in the Lifestream, to the version of himself that had just fallen in, so that he could change the events so he would have a chance at being victorious. The Arbiters of Fate are like the "Weapons" except instead of protecting the planet, they protect the flow of time from being meddled with. Also... I believe Aerith was aware of Sephiroth's plan and sent herself a warning... Remember, she can see events currently happening and ones that previously happened through the Lifestream. And not only did she know Barret's name when Marlene mentioned her daddy(even though Cloud and Tifa didn't mention him.), but she also warned Cloud not to fall in love with her, knew the plate falling was unavoidable, and warned Cloud that if they tried to defy fate, thete would be no going back. So, Technically this is a sequel, Aerith and Sephiroth are time travelers, and Biggs is young Charlie Sheen. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

[@VBandit47]

This is no sequel, this is a requel baby

[@garywood97]

Aerith doesn't need to have time traveled at all. The planet detected this new Sephiroth and so created the arbiters to stop fate being messed with. Aerith communicates with the planet, so she was essentially told what was happening. No time travel needed.

[@MrSuperbeast92]

@@garywood97 True. But rather then simply knowing there's a threat from the future, she seems to know just about everything. Future events, the people she hasn't met yet, and her own fate. Which leads me to believe that when Sephiroth went back, the Aerith that was in the Lifestream could've fallowed and met up with the version of her still in Midgar.

[@Ekami-chan]

This isn't a sequel. English dub added pretty much EVERY LINE people use to justify that, Aerith calling Cloud a merc, her saying how "everything about Sephiroth is wrong." (Originally she said Sephiroth is mistaken.) And her "This isn't how it's supposed to be." those are all only in the english dub. Sephiroth doesn't know everything either.

[@garywood97]

I mean the over the top red carpet bit is fun, but honestly I find the pink dress to be way prettier and better fit for Aerith anyways; like Aerith herself said, the red dress is just too gaudy and her movement in it seems weird

[@ski-meme-trash-k1ll3rsbane71]

@@jondoe7036 I see where you’re coming from, but the dress isn’t about what Aerith wants, it’s what Corneo wants and he’s a gaudy, greedy, gluttonous bastard. So the dress, while Aerith may not like it, fits her well enough for what Corneo would want a woman like her to dress like. Tho I also do agree that she makes the more modest pink dress work.

[@Tenaxis]

Spoilers for those who haven't played or watched: Showing Zack in the end is supposed to be confusing for everyone involved. Those who have played the game will be confused on why the scene is different (notice that he wasn't gunned down like he should've been) and those who haven't will be left wondering who this person is, why he is with Cloud, and why he has the Buster Sword. It's a big mystery for both sides, compelling both sides to stay tuned for the next game.

[@cwkrysta1338]

I never played Crisis Core but as far as I can understand, the Zack scene happens alongside the final battle and although they happen canonically at different points in time they're linked by the presence of the Whispers. Once the party defeats the Whispers, their presence in all points of time is wiped out, so at the point where Zack is supposed to die, they aren't there to ensure it happens so he lives. As far as I could see it, this could either create a number of different FF7 universes with differing events in each, OR, a ripple effect in the current FF7 timeline that changes events both from the past, and going forward. Either way, can't wait to see.

Johnny is in FF7, as Split Dimension mentioned, he's in the bar and gets kicked out, he's also then seen the next day going on an adventure and all his friends are upset that Johnny is leaving. He is then seen on the train that the party gets, and from there he ends up in Wall Market outside of the Honeybee Inn, talking about "Should he or shouldn't he?" He's not in Kalm, but he is in Costa Del Sol where he talks to Tifa. After that we don't see him for a looong time until Cloud is in his vegetable state, and Tifa is the party leader, you can find Johnny in Costa Del Sol again and talk to him, he mentions that he proposed to his girlfriend. From that point onwards he gives some general one-liner responses if you talk to him again, mainly reactions to Meteor's appearance.

Including the original Scenario Planner. In fact one of the reasons they chose to do the remake NOW was because if they didn't the OG team would be too old to do it if they wanted to later. So the "changes" they made aren't just Nomura, they basically are done with the consent of MOST of the OG FF7 team.

In the original game it was never Zack talking to him. It was always Cloud. The spoiler is the reason for that which we all know from the OG. So no that scene isn't different. Cloud is talking to Cloud that last time he only scraped his knees. Because he was trying to save Tifa when they were kids from falling off Mt. Nibel and failed. Zack was never inside Cloud's head. Cloud's condition is what we know of as a result of the trauma of losing Zack. That's Cloud himself trying to break through and that's why the LifeStream scene in Mideel is so important.

[@itsdantaylor]

Yeah i think that's what it was in the OG...but then shortly after he starts seeing the "Future" with Aerith's death so a small part of me has a theory that this time around it may actually be Cloud from the OG game....or Sephiroth who's fing with him by showing him clips of the future so he's more inclined to defy destiny which Sephiroth with use to circumvent his death.

The OG timeline: Sephiroth is defeated. The Meteor is stopped. Midgar is saved. Sephiroth survives as an individual in the Lifestream and he infects everyone with Geostigma (source is Lifestream Black and White, which is before AC). Ultimately the conclusion is that all of humanity is dead in around 500 years (the last cinematic of original FF7). They confirmed that the OG FF7'S story ultimately leads to the bad ending with Nanaki and his descendants observing the ruins of what humanity left behind. That is the true course of destiny, the Whispers and ultimately the will of the planet. Repeating the OG events means a short-term victory but ultimately humanity is destroyed. What the characters want to do now is to find a different path to stop the bad ending while also stopping Sephiroth.

[@SapphWolf]

@@matthewmendoza3109 Eh, that meta commentary falls apart pretty quickly when you think about it more. Not to mention if it was accurate then the creators of the game just had the characters in the game kill the representation of the fans... so... ya know... not exactly great optics. In the first game you have Sephiroth, who wants to destroy all life, Aerith, who wants to preserve all life, and the Planet, who wants to preserve itself. The planet honestly doesn't really give a shit about people. Hence why all the Weapons were fine with destroying entire cities to get at the Mako reactors. In the end the Planet is successful, Aerith is partly successful and Sephiroth loses. In this Sephiroth, Aerith and the Planet seem to be aware of the events of the previous game. Sephiroth is working to change that outcome by messing with the timeline. The planet is trying to stop that from happening because is the original time line it survives, which is it's only concern. Aerith is fine with changing the timeline because it might mean they can do better this time. (It also might mean she won't have to die.) The three Whisper champions are Kadaj, Yazoo and Loz from Advent children. They're trying to preserve their time line because at least in that one they get to exist. The symbolism with the whispers goes a lot deeper than just being a representation of the fans that are afraid of change.

[@matthewmendoza3109]

Aurora Echoes thank you for explaining both games to me, it really helps my understanding after having beaten the original 7 twice in the past year, having played it since the PlayStation 1 days, beating the new one twice (almost, I’m in the Shinra building on hard), watching several reviews and reading through quite a few discussion threads about the ending of the game and theories about where they’re going in the story from here. I’m well aware of what they actually are as well as them having a greater role to play in timelines they’re setting up for the rest of the series. Regardless, that’s not symbolism, that’s their actual role in the story. What I’m talking about is what they represent symbolically to this game and the history of FF7 as a series, not what they literally are. This is almost certainly what they had intended with how they present the whispers in the game, a *remake* of one of the most iconic games of all time and probably the most important one outside of the original FF for the company. Remember, this is Nomura we’re talking about, Mr. Kingdom Hearts and it’s ridiculous story and meta references to the real player in the real world (I say this with love as it’s one of my favorite series of all time). Seriously, consider what this game means to them as creators. What it means to you, me and the rest of the world as players who grew up loving that game and its amazing story. You cannot pretend that since the first day they mentioned remaking 7, that the fan base has not been in constant heated debate over whether they should change a thing about the game besides the graphics and environments. There was an extreme amount of backlash from the fans from a few years back when they first mentioned that they were going to be adding onto the story. It was almost in unison that people reviewing the trailers all called foul when they first saw the whispers in the Aerith reveal. It must have been a monumental decision on the creators’ part when they decided that they were going to change and reimagine a cultural icon. Now with that in mind, think about the structure of this game, and further, the remake series as a whole. This is the beginning of a new adventure, a fresh start for all of major fans of the original. We have no clear idea on how this story that we once knew inside and out will go. There are many who would fight tooth and nail to hold onto the old 7, those who are in essence the guardians of the world of FF7; their love having made the game into what it is. They are the final obstacle to this remake - not just this game, but the creation of the entire remake series. This is why they make for an extremely meta final boss, as the characters are fighting against the fate that we, not just as players, but anybody who loves the original 7 has imposed upon them. The world and timeline of FF7 already exists, but they’re determined change it (especially Sephiroth), and they rise up and defeat the guardians of the original canon to begin their new journey, a journey in which they will have to continuously struggle to defy the expectations that their world and it’s protectors have for them. If anything, this theory about the symbolic (not literal) nature of the whispers becomes more concrete the closer you examine it. Side note, I smoked a bowl before writing this, but I’m a philosophy minor about to graduate (then going to law school) who is a massive fan of all of FF, and Kingdom Hearts. I’m a member of the Nomura pain train to hell, so get that I’m not pulling this out of my ass and this opinion/observation comes from a long time fan of the man’s (let’s call it) artistic expression

[@Shiriin777]

The way I see it, the whispers are the continuity police, they're making sure the timeline stays the way it was in the original. I kinda caught onto this when they saved Aerith in the church. So, when they first appear in the streets of Midgar after blowing the reactor, they make you notice Aerith by freaking her out and then causing soldiers to come after you because you're supposed to be chased onto the train like in the original. Then, when you get kicked off from the second reactor mission, they attack and injure Jessie, forcing you to take her place and be back on the mission. Then they stop you from killing Reno, because he wasn't supposed to die, and you are supposed to run away through the back of the church with Aerith. Then there's everything they do in the Shinra building, saving Barret from Sephiroth, but not the President because the President was supposed to die there, along with them helping you escape Shinra when the debris nearly crushes Tifa, Aerith, Barret, and Red on the highway. They've been doing all of this to keep the original timeline flowing. Also, at the end there, I'm not sure if Buns got it or not, but it implied that there was a change and Zack survived at the end since he took out all of the soldiers, including the three that originally finished him off.

[@arvoredeuva5485]

Sees Chadley and Instantly says: Who's this Twerp LMAOOOO

[@garfreeek]

That's my dad's name...I'm so confused xD

[@GooseGumlizzard]

fuckin Chudley

[@prouddegenerates9056]

Barret is number one dad!

[@htinc5833]

And cait sith is number one character

[@prouddegenerates9056]

@@htinc5833 Explained Cait Sith to me, is it the corporate fellow controlling him or does he have his own free thought? Also what about the robot?

[@prouddegenerates9056]

@Isrel156 I played the original, but never understood him. Fire away friend.

[@prouddegenerates9056]

@Isrel156 Cerberus was actually my 1st FF7 game as a kid, but the hype didn't represent the product. Thats where some of my confusion comes from. Eventually got Crisis Core(convinced me too really dig into the final fantasy catalog), but truth be told, I found the older final fantasy game charming(tactics In particular). Can't wait to see how they implement clouds flash back story where Sephiroth and Zack come to Nibelheim. Wonder how everyone will meet Yuffie this time?

[@prouddegenerates9056]

@Isrel156 Wutai gets alot of mention in Remake, feels like thier storys gonna be alot meatier then before. Think ill reply FF7 original to feed my imagination for part 2.

19:50 I swear I was making the exact same noise the first time I saw this. Marlene is too pure for this world.

[@thespudbud2351]

When they mentioned Kunsel I was so happy. He's not even my favorite character but seeing him get some recognition was beautiful

[@seekittycat]

Sephiroth: -shows up super early- Me: /confused but happy fangirl noises Sephiroth: darkness...light....shadow.... Me:... Papa Nemura is that you behind the Sephiroth mask.

Sephiroth: "That X on your shirt, Cloud..."

[@doctorjrk43210]

Your reactions mirrored mine so much. I was crying at the end of the Honeybee Inn sequence when I played it the first time and I forced my non-gamer partner to watch the whole sequence just because of how happy it makes me. Great job on the vid, Buns.

[@marianamora4203]

Well slap my hide and call me Akihiko, cuz I've been waiting for this!

[@AzumangaFan13]

Did ya see that, Shinji?!

[@JoelTrujillo]

Wow

[@dtc119]

lol... when my cousin asked if they changed the story at all, I said "Oh, they have Dementors now" and he laughed. glad I wasn't the only one who thought that!
