Jenova is a mimetic lifeform, based on "The Thing." Not only can she mimic other lifeforms (both appearance and memories), she can infect them with her cells and transform them into copies of herself, and her cells always try to reunite with the main body. Sephiroth inherited those abilities as her "son," which is why all the Sephiroth Copies started to look like him and tried to reunite at the Northern Cave. Every time Sephiroth dies his cells become part of the Lifestream again, and when the Lifestream emerged to stop Meteor at the end of FFVII, the people it passed through became infected with his cells. That's what Geostigma is; the people thought it was a curse from the Planet, but it was actually Sephiroth's cells infecting everyone so he could try and do another Reunion. The Remnants are lifeforms he created in the Lifestream from his own cells and the memories / appearances of dead souls, since he didn't have enough strength to come back in his true form yet. There is a prequel novel ("The Kids Are Alright: A Turks Side Story") that tells the story of Kadaj's creation and his first attempt to recover Jenova, which ultimately failed and prompted Sephiroth to produce two more Remnants. Some of the new characters in Remake, (Kyrie, Leslie, and Mireille) were originally from that novel. It's less of an action story and more about Kadaj using his mimetic powers to impersonate and trick other characters while seeking Jenova's remains.

The dog is a wolf, a ‘lone wolf’ to be precise, and represents how Cloud is meant to be a pack animal but has cut himself off from his found family that could help help pull him out of his guilt and depression. Note how his outfit has a medallion of a wolf on the shoulder, and his motorcycle is named ‘Fenrir.’ Like many of Cloud’s visions of Aerith, the wolf is meant to be a metaphorical presence, not a literal flesh-and-blood one. Interesting note: the only vision of Aerith that is theorized to be ‘real’ is the final one at the church, the rest are all just Cloud’s imagination. Bittersweet to realize that even as he torments himself with guilt over her loss, his imagined projections of her still refuse to blame him. And to twist the knife a little more, her face is not shown in his imagined projections of her, possibly because Cloud doesn’t think he actually deserves to see her again. Thus, when she actually appears for real at the end and smiles at him, he smiles back, showing that he’s finally achieved peace and closure. Overall, the plot is a little weak, the English voice-acting is uhhh… lacking… in some parts, but the fights are so gorgeous and I enjoy the theme of finding closure, overcoming one’s guilt, and finding joy in life again. That exchange near the end of the final fight hits so hard. Sephiroth: “Tell me what you cherish most. Give me the pleasure of taking it away.” Cloud: “You just don’t get it at all. There’s not a thing I *don’t* cherish!” To hear this from guy who spent the whole film moping about and avoiding his loved ones shows that he’s really picking up the pieces. I might have to pick up the complete version now, as I really like the added scenes I glimpsed in your video.

Back in the day I used to hate this movie and only like the action scenes, but as time went on and other members in community pointed out the themes AC is going for I started to more lean towards actually liking it. IMO the first half is a bit weird actually. Scenes just kinda end like cutscenes with no gameplay between them and I think movie actually comes on it's own half way through. Themes of AC are harder to notice on first watch, but once you realize them it starts to make sense. Even Nomura thinks it can be a boring movie if your not looking out for stuff. Regarding questions you had. Let's start with Rufus. The way he survived is under his fathers desk was a button that opens a door under the desk for emergency. President installed it after Rufus when he was a kid to try to impress his father pointed out that there should be a hidden door for escape. President Shinra laughed at him, but he actually listened and installed it. After what happened with Midgar he get's saved and goes through arc that changes his views, but during this time he get's infected by geostigma. Geostigma is corrupted souls in lifestream by Jenova. Remember in Remake she uses it in one of the phases. The Sephiroth remenants are clones of Sephiroth and each has some trait of Sephiroth. One is pretty, other is a mommy boy stuff like that. They come from the crater after Shinra was investigating it at the start of the movie. Nomura intentionaly made them pathetic like that, because they are just incomplete clones. Next time your playing Remake pay attention to the weapons three whispers at the end of the game have. The wolf is called Fenrir. He follows Cloud around the places that are important to him and he represents his regrest and guilt. Aerith and Zack literally live inside Cloud as memories that he can't let go because he blames himself and wants forgivnes and now that he's happy he's afraid he can lose important things to him again. The idea is Cloud needs to forgive himself. When he get's over this the wolf dissapears and he let's Aerith and Zack go. Yes the final battle in Remake is made to remind the battle in AC, but it goes deeper then that. It's actually the final 2 battles of OG. You fight Harbinger Sephiroth(in english he was called Bizzaro Sephiroth) by swithching parties and taking out different parts of his body then you fight Sephiroth himself, but the difference in Remake is instead of numbers of your party getting less it's reverse. The power is coming together. Everyone comes together to fight Sephiroth and in Remake when Cloud tries to kill Sephiroth after chasing him down the lifestream he can't do Omnislash, Sephiroth block every attack. And the most interesting one Sephiroth. So when he died he let lifestream to just swallow his memories thinking he doesn't need them, but then he realized that without memory of who he was he can't reform himself on the surface and the only one who still has connection to him is Cloud. That one small part of Sephiroth that's still in Cloud is how he's still alive and if Cloud dies so will he. This obviously goes into Remake in really cool way I don't wanna spoil now. I hope I cleared up some stuff. After watching this I recommend checking out the Sephiroth trailer for Smash Bros if you haven't seen it.
@Cetra292 жыл бұрын

Whenever Cloud gets a blue glow around him that's a signal he's using a Limit Break technique like Braver or Blade Beam. At the end of the movie he did try to use his original Omnislash, and Sephiroth, the genius fighter he is, countered it knowing what to expect since it was already used on him once. The multi sword attack at the end is Cloud's newest version of Omnislash (version 5). You might have realized at the end of FF7 Remake that Cloud also tried to use his original Omnislash on Sephiroth but was completely blocked and countered as well, because Sephiroth due to time shenanigans knew how to do so, and Cloud had not yet created new versions of Omnislash yet.

Cloud became super depressed after the death of Aerith and the end of FF7. All of the crew are happy and moved on, except him. That is why he still lives in the church not with tifa, he wants closure. He truly regrets causing Aerith's death, she was his true love based on FFVII Ultamania Omega. The guys he's fighting are remnants, remember the cloaked guys in remake? that's the last three numbered ones. Sephiroth Died and became part of the lifestream and began corrupting it, causing the stigma. He used Kadaj the remnant with Jenova cells to return. In remake he uses the cloaked remnants to go anywhere, remember Jenova Dreamweaver, it was a clone and Jenova cells just like Kadaj in the movie. If you remember in og FF7 Sephiroth is dead all of that time he was using clones. The water is Holy from Aerith to cure the world and resurrect Cloud who died at the end.

Here's a small random fact for you (and more of a thing to think about when it comes to the remake!) At the beginning of Advent Children, as we are given a recap of things, a song is played, titled "The Promised Land". What's interesting about this is that in FF7 Remake, there's actually an orchestral, non vocal version of this track that plays right after the first "meeting" between Sephiroth and Cloud...perhaps hinting that something much deeper is going on with this Sephiroth than we think... Or MAYBE, it's implying that this is less of a meeting... And more of a reunion.

The Remake Fight was 100% a recreation of the AC fight. It's not being explained so well yet but I think that whole final sequence after going into the portal in Remake is like jumping through a series of memories (First you are in Midgar, then you jump to where Meteor falls and Sephiroth sucks it up, then you are 2 years later fighting around a crumbling Shinra building). The plot takes some thinking for the pieces to fit. The short story written by the FF7 writer "On the Way to a Smile" describes this memory lifestream idea and how Geostigma happened as well as what the 3 white-haired guys are supposed to be and their connection to Sephiroth.

Tq for the reaction! 20:00 the water at the church that cure cloud and later denzel/rest of the children is actually Aerith's final limit break - great gospel. You hear that aerith said to cloud "let's go" after the water cure cloud (not sure in English what she said 'cause i watched in Japanese with eng sub). To add more, I think there's a scene where you also can see Tifa look at water droplet on the plane and said something like "you're here" (im not sure the exact word but she's referring to aerith by looking at the water droplet, she knows aerith helping them). from my understanding with the story, Aerith is actually constantly can communicate with cloud through lifestream. You know that cloud has exposed to Mako (a liquid form of lifestream), meanwhile Aerith's soul is in lifestream, all dead people will go to lifestream but Aerith able to maintain her consciousness because she is a Cetra. Zack consciousness probably brought by Aerith to help Cloud. That's why you see Cloud's soul communicating with aerith's soul throughout the story. Thank you again for posting this!

It's also the same arm that Cloud uses to hand the Black Materia to Sephiroth (that Mako Crystal that Sephiroth was reforming his body in at the northern crater). Oooh Clouds LEFT arm (Sephiroth is Left handed but Cloud is Right)

If you ever get a chance, there was a series of short stories written by the writers of the game and the movie collectively called On the Way to a Smile. It tells the story of what all the characters were doing in between the game and the movie. They came out in Japan originally before the movie came out so they were a primer so you knew what was going on before watching the movie which is why the movie doesn’t go out of its way to explain everything. They weren’t readily available outside of Japan for a long time so for foreign viewers, the movie was confusing. By now you can either buy an official copy or a fan translation. It will answer a lot of the questions that you have, especially about Sephiroth and his three avatars.

I've always had the perspective of _Advent Children_ being somewhat of a clumsy aside to the main story. I remember that a lot of people who used to do those kind of deep dive analysis essays on video games and their companion media were ambivalent towards AD for a long time because of how they "mishandled" Cloud's character arc. Looking back in hindsight, I think Square Enix did a decent (if somewhat clumsy and overdramatized) job of illustrating Cloud's PTSD/Survivor's Guilt. I think most people forgot about Cloud's mental breakdown at the beginning of Disc 2 and we're too busy making fun of his "emo" characterization post-Advent Children to really notice. As much of a huge FFVII nerd I was as a little kid, I had no clue about the expanded Compilation of Final Fantasy VII until I was an adult. I always wanted to get my hands on the games and short stories, but never had the money to do so. Plus there was a spell where I stopped playing video games tried to be a "serious" adult with no hobbies or personal interests. lol But it's been fun watching someone who never had the nostalgia for Final Fantasy as a franchise most people have fall in love with it. Especially VII. There was a brief spell in the 2010s where everyone took turns shitting on VII because if its popularity and oversaturation. But ever since Remake came out, people have got off the hate train and come full circle back to singing its praises. It feels like the story of VII actually grew up alongside the fanbase. So as an old fan to a new one. Welcome to the club. I'm glad to have you.

Basically Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz were the three from the group of black-robed peoples, the failed Sephiroth Clones from Hojo's Experiment. And the Geostigma was from the meteor infected midgard. The lifestream (also Aerith within in) healed them. P.S : RED XIII Japanese VA is more fit.

First off, great videos and it’s been a blast watching somebody experience this amazing journey for the first time again. I still remember all of my first time emotions to this story. Lifestream White and Lifestream Black (short novellas about Sephiroth and Aerith in the Lifestream between FFVII and Advent Children) will clear a lot of things up for you. I cannot wait for the Crisis Core play through. Keep killing it man! Love the content! PS: It’s important to note (especially for Remake) that the “500 years later” scene at the end of FFVII is completely devoid of the human race (which has been confirmed by the devs/writers). So at the end of Remake while you’re fighting the giant whisper Harbinger (Jenova) and Nanaki sees that scene and says “This is what happens if we fail today”, it adds A TON of context.

The one part of the entire movie that made me think about how the life stream works is that almost anyone could possibly return to the world depending on the conditions that occur. Even though the scene was cut before he could say the full line At 23:36 Zack said "What do you need me to come help you?" Which could imply that he could return in a simular way to sephiroth. Considering Zack probably could beat sephiroth or at least be almost evenly matched for him as he stood his ground against him the first time he had to fight sephiroth until Cloud gained the power of the Jenova cells in his body to help him defeat sephiroth the first time. The other possibility is that he was just being Sarcastic with that line but Idk What do you guys think?.

And now somebody will explain some mighty lore reason involving Jenova or lifestream mechanics as to why she couldn't do anything until Kadaj cast matra magic on her flowerbed.

My fan theory is that Cloud was Patient Zero for the Stigma, because Sephiroth's dying act was to turn his Jenova cells into infectious bacteria. The three Remnants, I think, were leftover products of the Sephiroth project, created after his victories in the Wutai war. After he went nuts, the project was shelved and they were put into cryogenic sleep but eventually escaped.

Advent Children was part of my introduction to FF. It's very confusing even for folks who know the OG very well. Even after many years, I'm still finding new things in this movie. It's meant to be watched several times as there are hidden aspects in it. A ton of lore. And yes they fully intended to make the end of Remake simulate AC-- for lore reasons. AC doesn't mention this but Sephiroth actually bound his core to Cloud from the Lifestream which is how he is able to come back to the surface. This is noted in the book On the Way to a Smile which is canon. It takes place before AC.

I don't quite know the connection exactly, but I believe there is one from Advent Children to FFVII Remake.

So most of those ideas from it was probably what inspired some of the things in the future like the ff15 swords ect. Also the voice acting was done before there was difinitive voices for ff7 (Apart from kingdom hearts) So the ff7 remake is moreso smoothed out. Thanks for watching this though it's a cool part of my and many other peoples childhood.

@YoshuraEU2 жыл бұрын
Well FF7R is FF7-2 as the Sephiroth you see is a post Advent children version of him. Also the reason Aerith seems to know so many things she shouldn't know at that point in the story of remake, is the fact her future dead self is talking to her past self via the lifestream. So in short post Advent Children Aerith and Sephiroth are using the lifestream to manipulate the past aka FF7R (FF7-2). Also every FF7 title in the compilation is cannon for better or worse. One other thing to add is that after the events of the movie humanity dies out. The ending of FF7 is considered a bad ending as the post credits scene shows 500 years later humanity is no longer around (This has also been confirmed by the developers). Which is why in remake the visions of the future are referred to as bad by the team during their encounter with the Harbinger. And this is just a small part of what's really going on. FF7 lore is kinda crazy now after being added and expanded on over 25 years lol.

Basically the Jenova cells put the Geostigma in the Lifestream when Aerith used Holy to counter Meteor at the end of FF7. To do so she called the Lifestream out over the entire planet, affecting basically everyone on it, so everyone was infected. Sephiroth is really kinda tertiary to the events. Certainly a flawed movie, not the best, but hell if it isn't incredibly fun to watch.

The Bahamut for FF7 AC is inspired by FF10s summon that you get to fight later in that game called Bahamut Sin which is a darker pallet swap of the one Yuna gets and is as tough as the one she summons. In FFX you can upgrade the summons. The tougher you make the summons through out the game the harder those fights become. The thing is that since "dark" summons are part of the International version they are optional fights if you don't want the upgraded ultimate weapons for each character.

Now you can get into all the theories going around, one of them being about how this Sephiroth is the one we see in remake. He went back through time and manipulated Cloud to get rid of the whispers who by existing assured he could never fulfill his plans. There are multiples clues about this, two of those being he only has the black wing in AC and the music playing during his first appearance in the alley is also from AC. Highly recommand watching Maximilian Dood and Easy Allies conversations about the main game and later about Intermission.

If you re-check the scene of the temple of the anciens, where Cait Sith sacrifice himself to transform the temple into the black materia, (at least in the version that i played) he trip and fall flat on his face, then get back up and then he noticed that something weird with his body, that it is moving more freely... it does not seems to be some metaphoric stuff about redeeming himself of the guilt of betrayal that unlocking more agility... it seems more of a litteral thing... if i understand correctly the scene, adding infos from drige of cerberus, the cat himself is a robot controled by Reeves... but after obtaining the black materia, the power of the cetra made second cat "alive", "sentient"... and Reeves do not need to fully control him anymore, he can gives him instructions just like a normal person... exept that Reeves can still see, hear and speak to the surrounding of Cait Sith... (a detail, how Reeves can control Cait Sith on the back of Red XII if Reeves is with Elena on the street with a net launcher to catch Rufus... i mean, he did not have any remote control device near-by???) ... and... for me... the flower girl is "Aeris" and her "copy" in kingdom heart is "Aerith"... same for Cait Sith that i pronounce "Kayte Sit" instead of "Ka-Tshii"... and in ff8 it is "Rinoah" in the game but in kingdom hearth is "Linoa"... i always though it was some copyright thing...

"This is so similar to the ending of Remake" Yeah that was ABSOLUTELY done on purpose. You hit the nail on the head at the end - most of the weird shit that happens in Remake that isn't in the original FF7 is directly tied to Advent Children's Sephiroth. If you want to dig deeper into the theory and explanations of what exactly is going on with the Remake/AC connection, I highly recommend two video podcast discussions, by Easy Allies (kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJfKqGqfeb9gmNE) and Dropped Frames (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmSoqWt_gcZ9d6M). Especially the Dropped Frames one, which includes an explanation of some of the non-game canon material that sets up Advent Children. Both are excellent, and while some references to Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus are mentioned, there's no major spoilers for either of those games, only for the original and AC. Or, if you don't want to watch 5+ hours of theorizing (understandable!), the TL:DR is that Sephiroth can always come back so long as he has access to 1) a body infected with Jenova cells and 2) someone who knows and remembers him. That's why he's so fixated on Cloud, in both AC and in Remake - nobody alive knows him better than Cloud does.
@DutchDread2 жыл бұрын
I do think it explores the narrative concepts enough, I love this movie, I think the biggest reason a lot of people don't like it is because they missed the themes in the original game, and don't realize how the movie continues it, as a result they think the story is about Cloud being lovesick or something, which makes the story feel shallow and makes Cloud feel like he's just regressed as a character. I think every story stands and falls on the personal human story that's being told, and I think Advent Children tells a great one, considering they only had about 2 hours to tell a story that logically continues from the character arcs in 7. And once you realize that, and realize how the actual events of the story, like Sephiroths return, are connected to those personal messages the story starts feeling a lot more meaningful. In FFVII Cloud was running away from his past, he was ashamed of who he was, and pretended to be someone else. By the end this arc is resolved by Cloud accepting the past and acknowledging his own weaknesses instead of running away from them. But even though FFVII shows Cloud awknowledging the past, it never shows him actually coming to terms with what happened with Aerith and Zack, and that's what this movie chose to adress. Here, Cloud no longer runs away from his past, instead the pendulum has swung the other direction. Having acknowledged what really happens, Cloud is suffering from guilt, ptsd, and cherophobia (the fear of happiness). Instead of running from the past, Cloud is now exhibiting the opposite problem, he's lingering in the past. He feels shame and guilt over letting Zack and Aerith die and forgetting Zacks memory. He feel like he's at fault, that this happened because of his weakness. In essence he is reliving the feelings felt after nibelheim and failing Tifa, and instead of running away, he now makes the opposite mistake. To Cloud, it's his fault Zack and Aerith are dead, and as a result, he feels he should feel guilt. When he is happy living with Tifa and the children, he feels guilty about being happy, he feels that being happy does a disservice to the people who died because of him. They're dead and he's happy? Unforgivable, to Cloud, moving on is like forgetting their memories all over again. He forget Zack once, but never again. The sad reality of course is that by not allowing himself to be happy, by never moving on, that is what is doing a disservice to the memories of Zack and Aerith. They would not want this. And this is represented by the visual of the buster sword rusting away at Zacks grave. By not letting go of the past Cloud is soiling Aerith and Zacks memories. By the end of the movie Cloud regains the strength to fight, and learns that it's ok to let go, he seeks Aeriths forgiveness, but as Aerith tells him, it's not her forgiveness he needs, he needs to forgive himself. He needs to just do his best for the children and Tifa and not let the past shackle him. After Symbolically letting Zack and Aerith go they walk into the light, they can "move on". By the end, Cloud lets the past rest, he lets it be beautiful, which is represented by Aeriths flowers on Zacks grave, and Zacks bustersword being in the churs, now shining and bright. By letting the past rest, Cloud now lets it be beautiful. Zacks grave is no longer the place a hero died, but where a hero was born. Cloud thinks in positives. After FFVII, Cloud tries to make up for his sins by "living", that's the only way he thinks he can make up for it. But that already shows a mistake in his thinking, because there is nothing to forgive. And it's that mistake that leads to the problems shown in AC. He thinks he can earn forgiveness by living, and by protecting Tifa, Marlene, and Denzel, the boy who he found at Aeriths church, who he thinks was lead to him by her. But then Cloud contracts geostigma, and instead of being able to protect the ones he loves most, he's going to die. And he can't protect Denzel, he's going to die as well, Cloud can't protect anyone he feels like. And as a result he feels like he's lost his path to redemption, and is on the brink of giving up. This is a continuation of the same themes we see in FFVII and remake "you're too weak to save anyone", "you've failed again I see". AC is about letting go and moving on, and this is where Sephiroth comes in, the physical manifestation of the concept of letting the past rest. Sephiroth can never die while Clouds hatred for him continues to endure, because as long as that happens Sephiroths memetic legacy lives on in Cloud. Clouds melancholy makes him susceptible to geostigma, him not being able to let the past go directly causes Sephiroth to be able to grab a hold of him once more. I love this movie, because I think it's one of the most realistic depictions of depression and guilt I've seen in any medium, and I do think it explores an actually important part of the arcs set up in FFVII. Without AC, I feel like Clouds character development is sort of incomplete. It would feel like "just accepting the past" is a single one and done deal, while Advent Children really shows the important final step in the process.

It may not be the best movie but god there are some great moments in it. I love the theme of self-forgiveness and Cloud finally moving forward and being able to find happiness in his life after everything that has happened. it has some great action, music, and it still looks great even by todays standards. I personally believe that it was a story that needed to be told and that it has its place in the FFVII Compilation. The fight between Cloud and Sephiroth is one of my favorite fights in media and Cloud using Omnislash Version 5 is one of the coolest moments in any film for me. Add on to the fact that Sephiroth's last words to Cloud may very well have been a promise he kept in Remake and not just the dying words of a defeated villain is just so cool in my opinion. And by god that end scene will never not make me cry like a baby. It may not be the best movie and it certainly has its flaws like you mentioned, but it does a lot of things right that make it really special to me. Great video as always man!
