Here are my thoughts, as someone that particularly loves Aerith. Also, as someone currently playing OG as well, the ending of Rebirth has actually significantly changed the narrative we expect so keep that in mind. Part 3 will genuinely be unrecognizable to us and I'm really looking forward to that. Let's go back to Costa Del Sol. If you walked with Aerith on the beach, she tells Cloud that he'll meet her future self and that he's going to love her. Cloud meets this future Aerith in a place that she calls "my dream" and she wants him not to look up. So future Aerith made Cloud wake up in "her dream" and one identifying factor of this being her dream is the iridescence in the sky. In Costa Del Sol, Aerith asked Cloud what his ideal date would be. He basically responded by saying "a walk" would be an ideal date for him. In the "dream", as Aerith calls it, they go for a walk through the slums. She tries to create this ideal date for him, making it memorable by pointing out that he's buying his "first gift for Aerith", holding his hand like she always does, buying candy with him and taking a couple's photo together. All this is canon and not optional. Interestingly enough, what Aerith calls a dream is, instead, called "a world that has accepted its fate" by Sephiroth. Keep that in mind. Future Aerith has created a dream for Cloud. Future Aerith has created a world for Cloud. In the song No Promises to keep, Aerith sings this line "lived a life without a care, in the world safe for you" Towards the end of this dream, the purpose of her actions are revealed. The most obvious is that she gives Cloud the White Materia. It's pale green like it should be. The "present" Aerith has one that is transparent and she had said it's because the whispers took important memories away from her. Basically, future Aerith is returning these important memories to "present" Aerith through Cloud. The other reasons, apart from saving the world, have to do with understanding the nature of her relationship with Cloud. In my playthrough, Cloud indicated that he wants to spend more time with her just like they were doing. From his words, she finally understands the nature of their relationship. (Cloud would love to continue going on walks with her, where she lovingly holds his hand and he showers her with little gifts and where they share happy moments just like typical couples do e.g. entering couples competitions) In the end, future Aerith has accomplished what she wanted to do. Sephiroth even said "I underestimated you" to Aerith. The thing is, because Cloud had returned future Aerith's white materia to present Aerith... those important memories returned to our Aerith. Thus there is no longer any difference between "future Aerith" and our Aerith. "Thanks for returning it to me." Aerith said to Cloud, having received the White Materia. Then she gave her transparent one to Cloud, however, in the final scene of the game Cloud looks at a pale green White Materia. It's full of memories. Memories that Cloud shouldn't have. At the very end, when Cloud looks at the sky he sees that familiar iridescence from the dream Aerith gave him. I believe Aerith, while trying to help Cloud find himself, has created this "dream" world for him so that he doesn't focus on mourning her. Instead, he has to focus on himself. She's doing him this great gesture of love by creating a world for him where he can see and speak to her lest he mourn unendingly. Basically, regardless of whether Aerith is dead or alive, Cloud will always be able to be with her. When she's in trouble, she'll "send up smoke" and Cloud, being her bodyguard, will protect her. I also believe Cloud knows way more than he should because, in the OG, it was only through Bugenhagen that Cloud learnt that Aerith was praying to stop meteor. But in Rebirth's ending, Cloud and Aerith mutually share an understanding of their duties from OG. Cloud has to stop Sephiroth while Aerith has to stop meteor. This conversation should not be happening at this point in the story at all. This is why I think Part 3 of VIIR will be shockingly different. We'll see I guess. I, for one, am totally looking forward to it! Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is officially my favourite Final Fantasy (surpassing my love for Final Fantasy X) Cloud and Aerith's love story is just so pure. A love that transcends death.

if you pay attention,once the spell is over future aerith is standing on AC church, she even dumps cloud into the water pool he got cleansed. maybe the 4 chan rumor was true. cloud died when he fell to save aerith, and his essence got sent to the dream world, but aerith pushed him back like she did in AC. barret though he was dead from mako poisoning or degeneration,it very likely cloud was indeed dead or near dead.

I actually think Red 13 may be able to see her now since she touched him and the theme has been when someone from another world touches you you can see them now. He may just not say anything because before when she gave Marlene and him visions she may in this instance let him know he can't spill the beans so to speak. I'm a little confused by it showing Aerith's white Materia fall into the water and sink to the bottom but then Cloud has her materia but it's clear like it was when she showed it to Red 13 in Costa Del Sol. I'm assuming the "second home" she's referring to is the temple of the ancients where she'll be praying to stop meteor because where else has she been that would be a home besides Midgar?

@khfan4life36510 ай бұрын
Cloud’s actually the most realistic character in this scene when it comes to grieving. He’s in denial, which is part of the grieving process. I think deep down, he knows that Aerith is dead, but his brain can’t fully comprehend it. Since his mental state was precarious from the start, it’s not surprising that he’s falling apart. Something like that happened to me when my grandma died. The day after she died, I kept calling her phone just to see if I could reach her. I never did. It didn’t sink in until I saw the proof that she was dead.

When Cloud reaches Aerith and the camera angle looks down at Aerith, pause, zoom in, her hair tie is pink. Watch as Aerith is opening her eyes as the feather falls, look at the color of her hair tie it’s purple. New world: Look at Cloud sword when he screams, “NO” also it looks like he went into a different world at that moment, you see a rainbow of light going up his sword and it’s glows green and you can see a green mist coming from his sword, it reminds me of what Rosa did to Alphreid sword during his fight in the loveless play. Watch as Cloud deflects Sephiroth sword you see rainbows like in the church and sleepy forest, remember the white whispers were with Aerith before her death. Watch how Sephiroth sword landed, it lands straight up. Cloud saves Aerith. Look at Aerith hair tie, it’s pink and it flashes back to the OG as the camera shows the Sephiroth sword, look at the angle of his sword, it is sideways, Aerith falls to her death, her purple hair tie falls out of her hair. Aerith hair tie, OG world it’s purple and pink in the new world? Cloud runs and holds Aerith body, you see flashes back and forth to the OG world she dies, he has tears and muttering words. OG world. As the others run, Tifa stops in her tracks, not because of Aerith’s death, it’s because she sees blood and no blood she doesn’t understand what is happening but she was in the lifestream. New world: Cloud lays Aerith on her back and he tells her I got this, look at the others they are standing still, not moving. OG world, pay attention. As Tifa runs towards Aerith she is laying on her side, remember Cloud lays on her back in the new world. As soon as you see Cloud boot, pause, zoom in, you still see Aerith laying on her side. New world: As Cloud approached Aerith is once again laying on her back, the whispers are flying around, Cloud walks through the whispers and the others disappear, he asks Aerith to wake up she does. Why do you think Sephiroth told Aerith, I must admit I underestimated you. And also why did they show Aerith hair tie it’s pink, look at her death scene again when she is praying and opens her eyes when she sees the feathers falling her hair tie is purple, when she falls to her death it is also purple. It was Aerith destiny to die in the OG world and she did, creating a new world means she can change her destiny and she did. She can still cast the holy in the lifestream and doesn’t need to be dead. Cloud isn’t crazy, remember he was injected with Jenova cells and mako when Hojo experimented on him, which is why he sees the rift in the sky, he sees both worlds and the others can’t because they can only see the OG world. Also remember Marlene told Zack he has to make Cloud better so Cloud can save Aerith. In game 3 we will see Zack healing Cloud which is why he was in time to save her.

New world: As Cloud approached Aerith is once again laying on her back, the whispers are flying around, Cloud walks through the whispers and the others disappear, he asks Aerith to wake up she does. Why do you think Sephiroth told Aerith, I must admit I underestimated you. And also why did they show Aerith hair tie it’s pink, look at her death scene again when she is praying and opens her eyes when she sees the feathers falling her hair tie is purple, when she falls to her death it is also purple. It was Aerith destiny to die in the OG world and she did, creating a new world means she can change her destiny and she did. She can still cast the holy in the lifestream and doesn’t need to be dead. Cloud isn’t crazy, remember he was injected with Jenova cells and mako when Hojo experimented on him, which is why he sees the rift in the sky, he sees both worlds and the others can’t because they can only see the OG world. Also remember Marlene told Zack he has to make Cloud better so Cloud can save Aerith. In game 3 we will see Zack healing Cloud which is why he was in time to save her.

I think Aerith’s dead. But while you’re true a new reality exists where she’s alive. The one at the end is her spirit communicating to Cloud from the livestream. Cloud’s broken mind can’t accept the fact she’s actually dead so she’s pretty much there to help him cope

Im pretty sure her death scene was from original timeline. Cloud was shown saying something and though we don't get to hear what I bet it's his line "Aerith won't laugh again", and the whole last scene with Cloud wad with OG/AC Aerith who's been hiding from OG/AC Sephiroth between the world's ("So here's where you've been hiding"). I think Cloud isn't hallucinating but alongside Aerith us tricking Sephiroth into thinking he's winning. FF series are never that simple, and Remake was made to "set things right". another AC is anything but right. so I suggest we wait and see😊

I think it's important what happened before her prayers. Cloud entered as the only one a white portal. This is another timeline where he saved her. But then it switched back. We see cloud crying and then we saw him say something (maybe his words from the OG) NOW you have to pay attention. When he knock sephis sword away, clouds sword was glowing green and the background was white and glowy. That's important. Cause when we see the blood sequence, the glow is gone. Its only there when we see her without the blood. And its gone too when the materia fell into the water or when the group is arriving. She even lie down different at the end when tifa looked at her after the fight vs sephi is over. Cloud didnt lie her down like this, when he said "i got this". Then he appears, aerith lies on the side - he moves to her and suddenly she lies on the back, but tifa didnt change her position. He enters a white glow again, where the whispers are, which wasnt there before, wakes her up and we didnt even see the green lifestream particles, there were only white ones. So he could save her in another timeline. Thats why after the fight against sephi, he enters a white glow again where he wakes her up. Marlene said "make that cloud isnt sick anymore, or he can't save aerith". It didnt mean that Zack actually has to make it, he just has to make the right choice. Biggs, Hojo or Aerith, Aerith will wake up in Z1 timeline when she dies, remember that. At the end Cloud is seeing that Aerith died but she then appeared right infront of him - he can see her cause she isnt in this timeline, but he entered this one before. Ppl are saying that Cloud is just delulu - but i don't think so. It would be way to simple after all the devs have said and done with the remake. Pay attention to the little details.
@timothymoore634110 ай бұрын

The glowing is Lifestream. One important thing to think about in this "version where Cloud saved Aerith", why did Aerith collapse, why was Aerith even unconscious at all? When Cloud thought he deflected the sword, it landed several feet away from Aerith. It wasn't until we catch glimpses of reality that Aerith finally collapses, and she stays that way throughout. Even when she "wakes up", there's a huge glitch in that the party is all around her and then is suddenly and instantly GONE when Cloud walks up, and even when Aerith wakes up - again, why did she collapse in the first place if Sephiroth was deflected? - she doesn't look right. She looks... sad. Because she's dead.

@@ElysaraCh I THINK ;; The worlds merged, like Sephiroth was saying - hence why she fell in both Timelines. She couldn't move at first, like we saw with Cloud in "her dream". He was unable to move for a bit, I guess that's what happened with Aerith. I think we stopped the merge as soon as we defeated him. But since only Cloud entered the singularity, only he can see the saved Aerith. And now ask yourself the question: Why is the tiny bronco able to fly again? As we know the wings were gone. Did Cid bring new ones in his pocket? 😅I think that's the reason too why Cloud still has the black Materia. We know that Cloud gave him the black one, like Yuffie said. He's in both worlds. The crack in the sky is real, like aerith, and the materia. It's unlikely that Aerith is dead. We got many hints in REMAKE and Chapter 14 in REBIRTH. + Cloud knows way more this time. He knows that Sephiroth is in the north. He said in the fight vs. Jenova that he's done it before and can do it again. And we know that he had memories in REMAKE. And yes, they were memories - not visions. We saw it on the edge of creation with Sephiroth. Clouds brain tried to remember what's happened there. Sephiroth stopped Cloud, so he didn't remember. The devs said that they wanted to give the players a HUGE surprised in the second game with Aeriths fate - and they did.
@ElysaraCh9 ай бұрын
@@jhin_gg Cloud "gave" Sephiroth the Black Materia after the Temple of the Ancients in the original, too, but didn't actually hand it off until meeting the real Sephiroth body in the Whirlwind Maze. Also, Cloud KNEW Sephiroth was in the North Crater in OG too. It's because Sephiroth TOLD him through the Jenova cells corrupting Cloud. It's kindof a HUGE and CENTRAL plot point of the game that you seem to have somehow missed. And with regard to the Tiny Bronco, part of that cutscene is them LITERALLY fixing the wings on the plane. None of these hokey time travel & raw multi-verse theories work at all once you actually start thinking about them. Also, the devs are the ones who wrote Aerith's death in the first place in OG. I'll be shocked if they walk it back in part 3. Even Aerith's soft "Goodbye" at the end of this game would feel cheapened terribly if they do. No shot.

I don't think he's going full schitzo, but he's also not fully accepted that Aerith died in the Cetra ruins. Advent Children had Cloud seeing Aerith's ghost, and here we may be witnessing that early. Cloud is now able to see Aerith right there with them. He's convinced she still is there, as Red XIII also felt Aerith's presence. But she may very well be dead and Cloud is just able to communicate with her spirit. There are things that are drastically different now. The Holy Materia is no longer left in the waters of the ruins, but Cloud now has the Holy Materia. Certain characters seem to be in this twist of fate such as Jessie, Biggs, and Wedge surviving. What has changed? Is there two distinct timelines playing out? What the hell is going on?
@ElysaraCh9 ай бұрын
Rewatch the Tiny Bronco ending scene and pay attention to Aerith's location, her dress's reactions to the environment, and especially the sky. There's a mixture of Aerith's Spirit & Cloud hallucinating. Jessie, Biggs, and Wedge are dead as fuck, they were at Loveless briefly but surrounded by Lifestream. They're not alive. I actually think this was also a hint at how people within the Lifestream can manifest.

Now I'm torn to who aerith really loves and will end up with. I adore zack/aerith so much ever since crisis core and seeing all of zack's scenes in the first part, him sadly reuniting with a comatose aerith and him still looking out and loving her (taking her ribbon when he rescued briggs) is so beautiful and I really wanted them to be together. But aerith and Cloud also grew on me and I can see their chemistry, the affection they developed and he was really devastated when she "died". This franchise really messed me up I don't know anymore huhuhuhuhu
@aileene-ez9gx10 ай бұрын
This is coming from a huge Tifa stan (myself) but I have to argue that Aerith does love Cloud and accept that she is the “main” girl. (My poor Tifa 😢) While Aerith loves Zack, Zack has never given her time because duty is more important for him. (CC) Aerith is actually a lonely girl despite her outer cheerful personality, as shown in the ghost part of 1st Remake game. But after meeting Cloud, he has always given her “time and importance”, she realizes that he’s actually a softie and just putting up a cool persona. He even asks her if she’ll be alright going home alone in this ending like he did during the first part. It shows that he really cares about her. That’s why if you maxed out her hearts, which I think is canon because it’s shown in this credits than other options (my poor Tifa 😢 again lol), she’s very happy in their final date with Cloud saying “Yeah, next time”. It means that she is important to him and will give her his precious time (unlike Zack). She then, finally understand what their relationship is.
@tobiuchihawinchester603610 ай бұрын
@@aileene-ez9gx No denying the developing of feelings between aerith/cloud but it was only because they were able to have MORE TIME. I think it's clear that zack gave her ENOUGH time, especially in crisis core, he's always going to her on his free time and always finds way to come back to her. If he had been able to come back to her before his untimely "death", they would've had all the time in the world. Which is one of the reasons why I wanted them to end up together in the first place because they were robbed of time. And then here comes her relationship with cloud that is so beautiful too and they have good chemistry. But then there's also the cloud / tifa relationship which I find so endearing and cute too (that skywheel kiss? Asdfjklasdfjkl!!!!!!) God it's so messed up, I really don't know who to ship with who. Why must square enix make it is so messy lol.

@@tobiuchihawinchester6036 this is why you should start with the original FF7, you can focus more because it is clear who the main cast of the game is about, which is Cloud the Hero, Aerith the Heroine, and the Antagonist Sephiroth, everyone else is just the supporting cast.

@@tobiuchihawinchester6036no, Zack hasn’t given her enough time because while he visits her, he’s always busy taking the calls for work. Notice how their moment are always interrupted with calls. Meaning Duty > Aerith. Her last letter for him in CC was “I wish we could spend more time together” tells a lot. While Cloud always entertains her antics. If you look closely, Cloud is always requesting money for his time from everyone but never with Aerith. And Aerith is attracted to Cloud because she sees something that was lost to her long time ago which is “innocence”. Despite his edgy character born from wanting to impress Tifa, he’s actually really kind. It is also why she’s jealous of Tifa and Cloud’s childhood friendship because she’s never had one due to experiments and turks following her, + her friends thinks she’s a freak because she talks with the planet (plants). Cloud began to show efforts to understand her more like how she did the same for him, again not out of job or money but his own will, which Aerith is thankful for. Hence, why she says thank you in their final date.
