So Tim is wrong, it isn't Aerith and Cloud talking about her being dead on the ground. It is Tifa talking to Cloud about being the "imposter". This is when they are talking at the Inn right after they leave Midgar.

[@CrossOutBryce]

It's making me nervous that they might kill her instead of Aerith

[@chrisl.66686]

@@CrossOutBryce well it wouldn't make sense to kill off tifa as her death would only have ramifications for cloud and the party, aeriths death has ramifications for the entire planet as she is the last of the ancients and possesses the power/materia to combat black materia/meteor

[@Mexican4life14]

Yeah that what I gathered too. I'm pretty sure they're just talking about when he saw tifa stabbed in the reactor and cloud thought she was dead.

[@Balfour715]

The sub dialogue has Tifa instead asking if Cloud doubts her version of events and not if she is an imposter

Man it is awesome to see Tim so happy about this.

[@vinbarrientos2778]

the genius of releasing CCReunion and FFVIIRebirth so close to each other is that people will be confused as fuck when they play the nibelheim mission twice but with different characters xD

[@auberginedreams00]

Playing FFVII Remake was one of the few times I’ve felt joy in the past couple years. I’m so excited.

[@LowSkillPlays]

It sounds like it was Tifa and Cloud talking about Tifa being stabbed by Sephiroth, and Cloud and Zack talking about making it to Midgar so it sounds like they are changing the entire sequence of events in FF7 up to this point now. If you remember in the original Tifa was stabbed / slashed by Sephiroth when he went crazy at the Reactor and Sephiroth killed Tifa's father but she turned up fine later and it was never really addressed. Maybe they will talk about it in the new story?

[@mediocregamer]

Love Tim's hype for this. Crisis Core!!!

[@MurderWeaponLimited]

At the end of Evercrisis was young Sephiroth. Since they're also doing The first Soldier in Evercrisis there will be Sephiroth backstory stuff. So, young/Teen Sephiroth.

Ever Crisis and Crisis Core Reunion look amazing- BUT…the pièce de résistance-FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH. I can’t believe my most anticipated game of this generation is releasing so soon (late 2023-early 2024). Square Enix did not disappoint.

[@hoaaaaaaaaable]

Reunion seems like the perfect name for the 3rd part but they gave it to crisis core

[@DVRKSTXR]

Revival? Resurgence? Resurrection? All 3 of those titles seem like they are hinting at the real Cloud making a return before his final fight with Sephiroth, just like in OG FF7.

[@FanDethklok]

Nice seeing Max get a shout out from Tim.

[@ZeredHeizien]

If I remember correctly back when they first announced Ever Crisis they said that Sephiroth's backstory will be revealed so at the end of the trailer that was a teaser of young/teen Sephiroth

[@reubencherian8511]

THIS WAS A DOPE STREAM!

[@Tainu]

I would love to see you all bring Max on to discuss how all the FF7 games connect at some point! I'm a huge fan of the series but a lot of the earlier game's storylines are kinda fuzzy for me and it would be cool to really just get a big overall breakdown of what we know thus far!

[@solid_justice5855]

FF games are not connected. Every FF has its own story and characters. Edit: sorry seen you said ff7 games, thought you meant all ff games

[@rizz647]

They really going to end this in 2030 with a Cloud & Zack Vs Sephiroth fight

Ff7 Reborn, calling it for the 3rd game.

Oh my god. I missed the FFVII hype train (I had a PS1 but just somehow missed it. Still have never finished the original). But i played the hell out off Crisis Core and loved it to death.

[@linkjag]

What if Rebirth ends in either Aerith or a different character dying (maybe Cloud with Zack taking over the group leader role) and the third one is Resurrection and it's about trying to revive that person to help them defeat Sephiroth

[@Covette01]

Never played a FF game, never been interested. But watched this just for the hype/celebrations and Tim didn’t disappoint

---*An Analysis: How Square Enix is at a Unique Position in History, and How They can Either Make or Break it*--- With the release of FFVII 25th anniversary content and footage as shown by Square Enix, I started to ponder to myself in wonder regarding how Square Enix seems to be in such a unique moment in history in which no other company, in no other medium of story-telling, has ever been in (at least from what I am aware of). I'm referring to the fact that Square Enix has the unique opportunity to correct their story-telling sins of their past, on top of succeeding on their new narrative direction, if they do it all correctly. But allow me to back up a little bit. When FFVII Remake was announced way back in 2015, everybody was obviously excited over the idea that their beloved game was getting the treatment that every other remake gets: an overhaul in visuals, modernizing the gameplay, but leaving the story intact. But lo' and behold, we were met with an idea and meaning of a remake that was very different from what fans anticipated. Rather than a 1 to 1 remake of the story, as we all now know, FFVIIR is in fact a sequel for all intents and purposes. Met with mixed reception as far the story is concerned, many fans were (arguably) justifiably upset over the direction they went of doing a sequel rather than simply retelling the same story we are all familiar with and love. And the crazy thing was, their reimagining of what a remake was for them, was to make a plot featuring alternate timelines, time travel, or something of this nature. Although the reality of what is exactly going on is still up in the air until we get clarity from Rebirth, what we do know is that the inclusion of Whispers definitely turns things on its head, and makes it a sequel, not a retelling of OG story. Whether it's alternate timelines, time travel, etc, I find it fascinating that although Square Enix is not really known for strong storytelling, they decided to go a direction that not even AAA game studios like Rockstar or Naughty Dog, companies known for their top-tier writing and narrative, would probably ever dare go. Why? Because they understand how difficult and delicate it can be messing around with the timeline and details of a story, which can create major plotholes, extremely convoluted story, etc. But then they released news of the upcoming game FFVII Ever Crisis, with the tagline, "Another Possibility for a Remake?", and it is in the true meaning of this statement I would argue rests so much of the fate of Compilation of FFVII. Although Square Enix only knows it's true meaning, I'd like to explore the only three possible interpretations I could see coming from this tagline, and my thoughts on how their direction they take as a result, rests the success of FFVII Compilation. 1st possible direction - 3rd timeline: first thing it could mean is that they will create yet another timeline that strays off in another direction, but I don't think they would be that stupid or reckless. They've been there, done that already with Remake, and to do a third timeline would take the possibility of plot holes, inconsistencies, and convolutedness to astronomical proportions. It would fail before it even started. So I doubt this is the direction they will go, but if they do, then God have mercy on their souls! 2nd possible direction: exact retelling of OG FFVII, and rest of Compilation: in the question of, "Another Possibility of a Remake?", could they perhaps mean giving us the remake we desired in the first place? it is in this they can fulfill the vision of fans everywhere, in giving a remake which fans desired this whole time, complete with the presentation they are familiar with, and updated graphics. It is in this that they can have not only fulfilled their own innovating and risky story-telling through their vision of what they wanted Remake to be, but also fulfill the vision of fans by delivering OG story through Ever Crisis, in which case it can be a win-win. But is this really the best outcome? 3rd possibility: retelling of OG story and compilation... But with some revision for consistency and quality sake across compilation titles. This would be the best approach I think they could take. We all know the quality and consistency of story-telling across the different compilation titles vary quite wildly, with only OG FFVII and Crisis Core (to some degree) considered to have good story-telling. And we also know that, for better or worse, Square Enix had announced years ago that all of FFVII Compilation is considered canon, which means with all it's flaws and inconsistent level of writing and cringe characters included. But who's to say that they mean the OG compilation? What if they are referring to Ever Crisis compilation? Could they be righting (by rewriting) their story-telling sins of their past by making the quality and details and characters strong and consistent throughout all the titles? Because it is only in this approach that FFVII Compilation can truly be successful. And with the inclusion of what is seemingly alternate timelines, it's all the more important that they make sure all the story details add up and there are few discrepancies and weak-writing as possible. And as fans have noted, the likes of Weiss and Nero were already represented in a more respectable and less cringy manner in Remake Intergrade, so if they did that with them, it leaves open the possibility that they may revise the representation of certain other characters as well (*cough* Genesis *cough*). So I believe Ever Crisis is a pivotal title that can make or break the success of FFVII Compilation as a whole, considering it comprises everything of Compilation outside of the 3 Remake parts. And they are in a very unique position because I don't know of any other franchise, in any other story-telling medium, where a company has given themselves the opportunity to retell their franchise's story, but with hindsight on what can work better and rewriting those aspects to equalize the level of writing across titles. So which path will Square Enix take? Will they possibly cement FFVII Compilation in history as one of the strongest, most intriguing narratives in video game history? Or will they make "FFVII COMPLICATION", making it one of the most convoluted, poorly written narratives by introducing yet another timeline, and simultaneously failing to redress the sins of their past? Only time will tell how this will all unfold and where the legacy of FFVII will be left. I wish them all the best.

[@jeffcarrier9808]

I absolutely hope that when Crisis Core Reunion ends, the ending is the same as original ending... but then post credits we see it again but changed due to the events of Remake. So that new players get the full experience. It's already weird enough though that there will be people playing Crisis Core before the upcoming story beats of FFVII... this project is a SEQUEL to the original PS1 FFVII and you really shouldn't play Crisis Core without knowing the FULL original story first!
