One of the best playthroughs, one thing I noticed is that streamers who go with Aerith's route get more emotional and start to ugly cry towards the ending, just watching them made me cry even after experiencing the ending many times. I'm not saying that other streamers weren't emotional too.

[@HF-cy9ng]

I noticed that too!

[@Wingedspace22]

I know I did

[@HF-cy9ng]

@@Wingedspace22 can we see your reaction?

[@Wingedspace22]

@@HF-cy9ng I wish I had saved it! I was crying, yelling at the screen, then the theme hits and I cried harder. I was emotionally drained at the end

[@HF-cy9ng]

@@Wingedspace22 me too😭

[@kevinkalani]

When Aerith pushes Cloud into the flower bed in the alternate world and Sephiroth walks in, when you realize what it is, it's like grieving Aerith's death multiple times.

[@RexSterlingLive]

So true

[@royso5917]

4:26 “I don’t understand” you and us all buddy 😢

[@laneym]

Your reaction during this was actually pretty awesome..you were all of us!! 😫😭⚘️

[@ZenZenMann_]

One of the best and honest reactions out there

[@juanfa1927]

I can't believe what a mess of emotions... The momento when battle with Jenova start and sounds Aerith theme... I started to cry 😭

[@LiquidSnake794]

The ending was indeed amazing, so many people shit on it as they did with Remake.

[@sujithg6902]

When Sephiroth started laughing at cloud after killing her, I literally wanted to kill him and right after he flicks aeriths blood towards cloud with his sword, he is simply toying with cloud, I fucking hate him.

[@jodaakbr7227]

My problem is that I love them both 😂

[@drummerjosh2112]

Agreed, the ending was phenomenal. Great playthrough! It’s disappointing to see how many people are complete assholes to others who have their own theories when they also have zero idea what’s going on. Part of the fun of this game, even going back to OG, was the theorizing of what happened and is going to happen. Very weird for certain people to feel the need to ruin that

[@luatimida3690]

I really wish this hadn't happened. I still tried to keep hope until the last second. My sweet Aerith! 😢❤

[@davidmasters8601]

The Cloud and Zack fight against Sephiroth turned them from best friends into brothers - it was beautiful.

[@jthecryptid]

I think its a combination of this being Cloud's head, Jenova mind screw, and Aerith manifesting as a Lifestream ghost. Cloud has a history of ignoring/blocking out trauma to the point of deluding himself. The JENOVA cells allow Sephiroth to take advantage of this fragility and screw with his brain. Deluding Cloud into thinking Aerith is alive so he can break him further when he realizes she's dead is very par for course. To add to this mess, these alternative worlds are born from peoples hopes and dreams, they're like temporary nightmare or wish-fufillment worlds within the Lifestream. Cloud's desire to save Aerith was so strong it literally created a world where she "lives." However, remember, this world only exists within the Lifestream, it's temporary. It's a wishful dream that will eventually fade. Aerith (as seen in Advent Children) can appear as a ghost to ppl who are Lifestream-sensitive. (Nanaki felt her touch, Tifa briefly glimpsed the "living" Aerith, and Cloud's having entire conversations w/her.) However, because Cloud's reality is merged with his dream where Aerith lives (cracked sky), he doesn't realize/accept that she's dead and is a ghost. The tagline for Rebirth is "What is fact and what is fiction?" Cloud can't see the "truth" in front of him. He is literally living in a fantasy world, making it hard to discerne what's real and what's an illusion

[@floramerano6293]

Two months since I finished the game, and I still can't get over it.

[@RexSterlingLive]

same

[@Heat55wade3]

One of only 2 react-ers I've seen who actually listened to the end of her song in the credits where we finally hear the last verse (instead of just talking over it). We'll find her. Great vid, much respect

[@Hsienkko]

Following you in twitch rn, really enjoy your playthrough and your reactions ¡I'm glad to find you!

[@RexSterlingLive]

[@noilflowers]

[@xtremerage1749]

Great Vid Rex!

[@RexSterlingLive]

Thank you!

[@ちさめ千雨]

Plese bring her back in PART3. I love her so much

[@LeviTheHyperLegendSpeed04]

This ending really did break me the first time I saw this.

[@Mutation80]

The more i see this whole part and the more i think about it the better it get's. So well excuted!! I so badly want to see this whole thing fold out in part 3

[@nukikadiman9847]

Amazing playthrough 👏

[@RexSterlingLive]

Thank You!!!

[@GamerNurseGale]

I feel you there man 🙂 this scene has always been an iconic experience even from the OG version. we will see soon, how the final chapter will tie up everything from the entire FF7 compilation. He did try to upend the last 7 seconds...but still it happened

[@davidbloom4654]

I cried so much too :(… couldn’t pull it together to fight Jenova without a long pause lol. The music and Aerith’s theme is so emotional and impactful. it’s not going to be the same without Aerith- she was the heart and soul of the group. Love your reaction and videos bro- keep it up. Rebirth was a masterpiece.

[@joeb.6017]

I would like to watch this vid but I can’t. I’m mentally not prepared.

[@RexSterlingLive]

Same. That’s why I didn’t edit it. I can’t watch.

[@BetaBlue42]

Did you notice everyone's limits but Cloud's were maxed when Jenova fight began?

[@redblue151]

Never interrupt Loren Allred singing. Ever.

[@SoloGameDeveloper]

This game is goat 🐐

[@RyanOstrowski-eh6ft]

let me ask you people a question is tifa going to save cloud from his mental state in part 3

[@RexSterlingLive]

got to!

[@ErenDenizMert]

Peak

[@HF-cy9ng]

😢

[@JTQA_Tester]

But isn't this only 1 of 2 discs of rebirth?

[@dine4086]

One of the two discs is the data of the game

[@Michelle-DiPalo]

Great reaction. This game confirmed what I've been thinking since Crisis Core, and that is that Zack is the protagonist we should've had all along. Still have love for Cloud, but my man Zack always drew the short straw and ran with it, even though he deserved much better.

[@jodaakbr7227]

I'm sure he will be reunited with her in the third one
