Is Marco A Cloud Clone!? | Secrets Of 49 Final Fantasy 7 Remake Theory

Well gee its been quite a while! I had recorded and edited most of this Final Fantasy 7 Remake theory months back but I scrammed out into the scottish wilderness for a month and felt the urge to record it again out there! This is a pretty open ended theory on exactly what Marco, the failed Clone numbered 49 means in terms of Final Fantasy 7 Remake. I'm gonna make some speculation on why Sephiroth has created this new insertion and what it means for the story. Some waffle about Rufus Shinra at the end and some theory jibber jabber on the possibility of what is going on in Zack Fairs reality and a Sephiroth make a Cloud clone.
Either way this was a really unique way for me to make a theory vid and with way more bikepacking and travels on my horizon for 2022. If you guys didnt mind this format. Let me know if you'd like to see more vids like this... though I will definitely invest in a wind shield for the audio in future XD
Missed you guys and thankyou for the kindness and patience as I go through this somewhat difficult time in my life. I so appreciate it and love how FF7 continues to ghost the themes of my personal life so closely.

[@FinalFantasyPeasant]

Missed you guys! If any of you quite liked these on the road style vids let me know! I'm planning alot more travels in 2022 and will do more from hobo POV. Though I'll definingly get a wind shield for the mic next time lol Also I will be making a new channel with all the Vlog stuff I recorded in the scottish wilderness. Theres some crashes, some deeps, some absolutely stupid stuff aswell as some tough hardships and funky survival moments. Hope to be a more authentic and repaired person soon and I'd love to bring that to this platform sometime 👍😄

[@novusnox17]

Keep up that hero's journey brother. 💪

[@DoeSwiftandBond]

this is by far the best format yet. it feels so concise, directional and clear, without all of the images of ff7 being constantly relayed for edits sake, we have instead a 1 to 1 essentially what every any viewer is subject to, and this 1 to 1 with you Pez theorizing is enlightening and immersive. Thanks for the video. glad to see you

[@GamingAfterBed]

Missed you Pez! Only just caught up with what’s happened and glad you’re taking time for yourself - walk tall dude! Would love to see more hobo Pez travel vlogs in the future!

[@lumina36]

FFP i took a Look At the Ultimania for FF7R and if the Things that are in it are Canon then The Story For FF7R is not gonna Be the Same as it was in the OG FF7 There is no way in Hell its Gonna be The Same if the Things that are in The ultimania Are Canon The ultimania For FF7R Semi-Confirms the Existence of Multiple Timelines Maybe even Alternate Dimensions the Translations For it are a Bit Rough at the moment it also says that The edge of Creation is located Between Life and Death The Ultimania Makes it sound Like there is 2 of them Also it Says That Sephiroths Plan is Bigger that the Planets Life Stream From the Way the Ultimania Phrases it that makes it seem Like Sephiroth is not Planning to Destroy the Planet with Meteor He Wants to Throw the Meteor into the Sun To Create a Supernova He is Possibly Aiming for The Cosmic LifeStream Thats all in the Ultimania im not making it up No Sir But is the Ultimania Canon or not Who Can Say

[@xLeopanther]

Hey there. Just wondering how you're doing and if you still do content? Since this last vid has been 4 months ago. Would be really exciting to see you playing through FFXIV Endwalker.

[@kneelbeforezod8]

Get that KH4 reaction up! Miss you bro!

[@FinalFantasyPeasant]

Clone 49 'Marco' being a new insertion placed by Sephiroth that is designed to replicate the 'essence' of Cloud also makes some sense because it could explain why Tifa was drawn to looking after him. She's an intuitive gal and maybe a part of what drew her to caring for him was a sense of Cloud. Maybe! Perhaps!... probably not! 😂

[@paulsmith9192]

@Final Fantasy Peasant where u been?did u quit?you couldn't of ran out of theories

[@marcojacinto824]

He's going crazier and crazier with the theories lmao. Still entertaining to watch.

[@Dtxjkyfx29372]

@Z Bruh get off your high horse lmao

[@GoldenMushroom64]

@Z the only one with a false sense of superiority is you

[@syndehpua5069]

Honestly, the moment you said that there were 4 Sephiroths and 9 clones, my mind raced to “13 darknesses” from KH, and if you don’t count optional characters, FF7 actually has 7 playable characters or “lights”😱 I know it’s far fetched, but it wouldn’t be the most out there compared to others you’ve had😉

[@Squalldane]

7 Squared Jesus dude, that Tibetan book of the dead detail was insane! Where does this knowledge come from?? Safe travels

[@BowmansWorld]

Why hasnt he been uploading? Been missing his content

[@Little.Spark.]

Hey Pez! So good to see you again, we miss you but we know you deserve to take an adventure of your own ^^ thank you for the theories! Perfect for this gloomy day 💕

[@1smacks1]

I responded to this comment you posted exactly 49 minutes ago.

[@TsunaSora]

I'm so glad you're doing theories again. And these 'On the Road' theories are a fun and chill format. I hope you continue to have a safe and great jorney. You deserve to be happy Pez.

[@Claudiustheimmortal]

Man I can watch these videos all day, your knowledge of mysticism, spiritually, occult is truly entertaining to listen too. I really want Square to hire you to write a story for Final Fantasy, that would legit be a great story full of hidden meaning.

[@DancerInTheDark101]

So good to see you're enjoying your travels Pez! Haven't watched the whole video yet, but already I can tell that you seem much more energised and enthused about the topics you're discussing. I'm loving the energy!! I hope everything is going well and I'm really looking forward to seeing/hearing more from you 😊

[@KairixCiel]

Glad to see another vid, I've missed the theories a lot! I love the road trip setting and think it even adds to the craziness of the theories and all, you should definitely do more. I'm excited for more in the future! 👍

[@uchihagaeshi1169]

Love this kind of on the road video! Makes us feel like we're on the journey with you if only for a little bit. Glad to see you look more relaxed, excited, energetic and happy, reminds me of you during your early final fantasy xv videos! Love the insights into kabbalah and mysticism, learned a lot! Would love to see more of these videos in the future. Safe continued travels and have a great final fantasy journey!

[@dylantibbetts5478]

I'm loving your travel vids Pez. I've followed the channel since around 10k subs, and it's been a joy to see your journey and share your experiences. Whenever you're happy, it makes me smile inside.

[@maxhutchinson6425]

That dude must think you’re off your box on acid walking about in the wilderness talking about strands of the life stream haha

[@Zischtanne]

Glad to see you out there living the Cetra life! :) Always loved watching your theories and I also really enjoy this road style theory format! Keep it up and take care out there!

[@catarena8031]

Super fricking excited to see a new vid come from you pez! Especially a theory video of all things 😆 There is a way that you do these kinds of videos that is rare and unique. The goofiness of your day to day antics paired with the logic that birthed the theories. It's a very organic blend and we've missed that a lot. I wouldn't have thought to look into what number 49 means and why a clone with that number that Tifa is caring for could implicate in the story.

[@GoldenMushroom64]

Good luck out there Pez. Hope you’re enjoying yourself and we’ll be here to greet you when you return. Thanks for keeping the remake hype alive while we wait for Part2!

[@ultimawhitewind9392]

Glad to see you back Pez! Happy your adventures are going well!

[@prettyinpanic7709]

This was a super comfy "waterside" theory chat ^^ I love your edited content but this was nice too. Feel like we're with you on your journey. Would love more like this.

[@rendogordon7754]

So good to see you doing a vid Pez! Hope your journey is going well mate you’re looking great 👊🏾

[@cloudtg462]

Glad to see you're doing well Pez and awesome theory!

[@advent_ds]

This whole theory was GREAT man. Cant wait for the return

[@SpyOrcaX]

Seeing a new video from you makes every day better.

[@DoeSwiftandBond]

the actual joy in seeing a new peas video! welcome back mister around the world in 80 days good to see you! shamanistic world speaker and delver of truths! just starting the vid now

[@Brahmsonite]

Ah yeah, this is that good shit I've been missing from you, Pez. Happy trails!

[@DoeSwiftandBond]

This is by far the most grounding, clear and well explain theory ive heard in a while. It feels like a great 1 on 1 as you establish yourself as our proper teacher and theorist. Braver of the elements, world speaker! Traveler!! Pez!!! Kupooo

[@KazuhasKatana]

Literally a peasant now! Lol I hope your enjoying your travels Pez! It's good to see you

[@Nugmabia]

amazing video man! I loved this new style, feels fresh and crazy . Keep it up! looking forward for your second channel as well.

[@lyriakay]

I knew there was something more to this clone 49 case, but your explanation and justification is so much better to get a clearer view on it than my messy thoughts lol xD We missed you too btw! I am absolutely for more of those types of videos, it's really giving me this impression of, you know, naturalness and reality as if you were talking to us like we were here, and not this kind of spectator feeling that you have when watching a video. (Okay I hope it didn't sound strange xD) Have a good day or night! And good traveling!

[@chauntelldietrich2931]

YOU ARE BLOWING MY MIND! I love this so much and I'm only half way through

[@Seraphima249]

It's Pez!!! Our traveller of light \o/ good to see you again. We miss you dearly

[@mr.moostercat1020]

Bro I’m already only 2 min in and I’m so in on this

[@PetarBladeStrok]

Now I'm gonna dream about 49. Lovely to see you again Pez.

[@vincent9384]

You finally look HAPPY man, I'm so glad to see it.

[@GoldenMushroom64]

PEZ I’ve been binging your Bloodborne playthrough. So good to see you sir. Will watch the full video soon

[@PheonixSeth]

Happy to see youre still crankin FF!

[@xZidyx]

Awesome :DDDDD pez at his best!! :D i love it. just imagine being lost at night and you come across someone in tent talking about FF7 theory to himself :D that would be some scary shit :D

[@isaiahsejour1641]

Damn bro missed you lots, hope things are going well especially for your mental for now and the long run, dont think we forgot about those chaos vids you promised lol

[@rossbenson3674]

Waaaa this was out of the blue but so good to see you. This is a great theory. Would live to see what you think of sleepezi's most recent vid. Keep on keeping on😁

[@MAGICCOFFEY]

good to see ya pez! hope your adventure is going well.

[@novusnox17]

"A wild Peasant appears." Good to see ya bro. Also yes, keep up them videos in nature when you feel the inspiration. Let your brain and soul work. Be sure to post that new channel through here. I will gladly follow.

[@Billy193]

Would love to see your reaction to KH4 one of these days. Miss you man. Hope you’re doing well

[@jackbyrne5214]

Great stuff Pez. Glad to have another theory to chew on. Very jealous of your journey into the wilderness! Is El Ginge still with you on your travels?

[@daffaagung]

Never realized how much i miss your streams man 😭

[@blackchase6732]

here something that you didnt know because english translations messed it up sephiroth seems like he is scared of something in the last cutscene when he talks to cloud he actually sounds like genuinely asking Cloud for help to stop something or to save the world from something its apparent from his speech to him i want youre help i dont want to disappear I DONT WANT YOU TO VANISH or i dont want to erase you talking to cloud THE LEADING EDGE OF THE WORLD i need youre power or strength 7 seconds till the end BUT we can STILL MAKE IT IN TIME THE FUTURE IS UP TO YOU CLOUD or youre age cloud this completlly changes things this actually shows that something is getting in sephiroth s way and threatening the world he sounds seriouslly scared

[@chad63]

it would be a plot twist if sephiroth is saving us from something all along lol maybe jenovahs bretheren from other planets?

[@baconatorstrazinski7881]

Esoteric Final Fantasy: The lessons I didn't know I really needed.

[@karmakaze87]

Wowwww, I love this theory, Pez. If it's true, it's gonna HURT! I can totally see it unraveling that way though, we're in for a few surprises regardless

[@dark-lord-vinay]

Thanks for this Pez, just finished FF7RI and it’s been great but I need the Part 2!

[@DuPz0r]

I hope you're doing good Bro! I miss your theory crafting. No one does it like Pez!

[@Athlynne]

I love your theorizing, Pez! I wish you were my neighbor so I could bring you cookies and listen to you talk all day!

[@jintym2951]

That ma boy Pez! 😸 Definitely agree that 49 is a very layered & symbolic choice with many juicy hints. And most definitely definitely agree that Rufus is insanely integral to Cloud's journey & success. And throughout the Compilation he affects several key events for the others too. His assassination attempt of his father at the Rocket launch led to Avalanche tampering with the oxygen tank that ruined the launch for Cid is an example of this. (Quick aide question: which sephiroth combination is 26 I wonder as Cid has quite an enlightenment moment on Rocket 26 when it finally launched). It would be really cool if we saw flashes of his childhood experience with his father, even if just the On The Way To A Smile scene. But how chilling would it be to see a flash of child Rufus meeting with the hero SOLDIER Sephiroth at some publicity event 😱 Sorry for such a long, meandering & rambling comment. Just so stoked to hear another wee theory from you. Hope you continue enjoying the beautiful Scottish shores 😄

[@lordmegatron4789]

thinking of you wherever you are

[@DaeronValyria]

Pez has untapped in a new phase of his life, and it is great to see his progress, as a person. We are always here for you pez, never forget that! Walk tall.

[@soraxis9285]

man i want to chill with you at this place

[@GoldenMushroom64]

Pez I miss you man. Hope you upload again soon

[@yoyoyoyo-qv5hu]

Love it. Definitely think your on the right track. Kabbalah's a big part of the og in my opinion. So many references to it. For instance, aerith can only launch holy in the ancient city. In the kabbalah, the holy power of god has to be encased in shells otherwise it shatters reality. Hence why the forgotten city is made up of sea shells.

[@DubExp]

If you're traveling alone be careful! And Keep up the amazing videos!

[@n0ctiz456]

Just when I thought we’ve uncovered most of the remake

[@GoldenMushroom64]

Great theory it makes a lot of sense.

[@mimikyutie3936]

Don't get me wrong I am happy that your happy but I do miss your let's play streams and I was excited for your endwalker play through

[@GoldenMushroom64]

Good points on Rufus he’s going to play a bigger role moving forward and there’s a lot of evidence supporting that

[@Hushoo]

30:23 could go to explain why aerith's been able to evade the turks for so long

[@GrandMaken]

Hey Pez. Glad to know you are ok.

[@creativebodyflying]

I'm really excited to figure out, who Cloud's father was and I also had a thought it could be president Shinra. Cloud and Rufus have similarities in their looks.

[@sis21721]

I miss you Pez, I hope ur doing ok! Post a video just to say hi 👋

[@jordanstafford5110]

I looked it up and the sixth sefira is tiferet, (balance), integrates judgement (gevurah) and beauty (chesed). Tifa-Barret: they integrate his judgement and beauty. Cool vid peas, great fun finding little historical religious rabbit holes to reflect on through all these so don't be shy.

[@The_winds_of_change]

I never thought I'd say this, but; I miss pez.

[@MyNindo2000]

Missed you Pez King. Quick question, do you plan to make a FF16 video anytime soon one you're back home?

[@christonhutson684]

I would like the way you come up with your theories and piece together and it makes sense I also for the most part ,maybe you could agree or not believe that 49 could be the many attempts that sepheroith has failed Going back in time or choosing a different fayted path And the time that we are looking at because he is 49 it's actually the 50th

[@johnmooney5962]

U blow my mind

[@d.sack2727]

It's okay that you don't care if someone thinks you're crazy. Nobody thinks you're crazy but I think you're high right now.

[@Nadz94elite]

peasant need a reaction for this please!!!!

[@braingame007]

@Final Fantasy Peasant - not exactly related to your theories but remember that they said that Wutai is going to play a much bigger part in the story in remake, also the location of wutai is going to change and be closer to Midgar. I wonder what will come of these changes and since info on wutai at this point is limited it is hard to speculate outside of CRisis core info. Also when will you be done with your trip?

[@kenmasters1803]

Pez you gotta get a strangers of paradise playthough going. Miss your vids sorely

[@blackchase6732]

so a wild peasant theory intresting

How’s the journey so far Pez ????

[@jobelle5470]

[@petervickers911]

can i ask you something when do you believe final fantasy remake part 2 will come out

[@shannon1242]

It's heavily implied Cloud and Rufus know each other in remake. Cloud says that's a new trick (it's a bit meta) and Rufus responds "Like it? Course you do". Rufus says "It means that I own you" and Cloud smiles (CLOUD SMILES!) Their banter is playful, almost friendly where in the OG Cloud was all buisness.

[@brooksgray9276]

Would you consider playing through Tales of Arise?

[@huginnandmuninn4865]

Birds of a feather does flock together

[@Phantomyre]

Good to see you, Pez! Missed you. Glad to see you're doing well. Take all the time you need. Edit: Also-- Marco means 'warlike' or 'dedicated to Mars (Roman god of war)'. On the topic-- very cool theory! I always love how deep you go with these things. I'd love to look further into the number 49 and how it ties into that peculiar scene where Meteor falls. I think that it's more so hinting that Sephiroth is currently anchoring himself to that clone before he can use Cloud's body. We know that Sephiroth has latched himself onto Cloud, all of his memories, etc. So it would seem very obvious to us that he would want to also take Cloud's body to himself. But as the saying goes-- never put your eggs in one basket. Seeing as Sephiroth is now independent of Jenova aka the ending, he is nearly complete except for a physical body. I would think it would be very risky for Sephiroth to use Cloud's body, but rather to utilize several bodies, or #49, to secure his physical presence. Cloud secures his spiritual presence.

[@Phantomyre]

There seems to be a correlation with the meaning of the names chosen for the dead and missing clones. Missing Clones--- Rick: powerful ruler Lisa: devoted to God or 'God's light bearer' Senna: bright or splendor Clones Found Dead--- Kaitlin: pure Edmund: protection or fortune Trevor: homestead or a place of abode Ezra: protection or helper Ian: God is gracious Remake Clone 49--- Marco: God of war See a trend...?
