This scene is literally creepy, along with Cloud killing the Shinra soldiers and almost killed Tifa, and Cloud killing the demon wall while everyone watches in horror and confusion. Hearing Cloud actually laughing in this scene and when he found the black Materia, gave chills down my spine. Seeing Aerith running away from Cloud and looking back at him while Cloud stagger runs at her while taunts her and laughs evilly. Especially seeing him grin evilly when he holding the black Materia. I was hoping to see Cloud punching Aerith in the original and seeing one of the groups knocking him out, but this is actually good and impressive.

[@destruction9544]

Be careful with spoilers, it's not Sephiroth, these Jenovas who are taking possession of Cloud's body.

[@hashtag.ethanz]

⁠​⁠@@destruction9544it was confirmed already that Seph merged with Jenova in the lifestream when he fell at the reactor which made Jenova fully act in Sephiroth’s will, it’s why he only appears from black robed specimen and why the reunion is still effective as all Jenova cells try to come back to one which Sephiroth had took over the lead of that when merged in the lifestream, so to sum it up it is Sephiroth as he’s technically Jenova but in more active form

[@destruction9544]

​@@hashtag.ethanzSephiroth has never merged with Jenova at this point in history, most know he will ! But before that, Sephiroth is trapped in an ice coffin so that he can regenerate his main body ! You will see it clearly in part 3 of the remake, the sephiroth that you are viewing comes from the future while this one is a fake that was invoked by Jenova to deceive his pursuer.

i actually like the change in this scene, it's still creepy seeing cloud act like that but he doesn't hurt aerith and instead saves her.

I'm surprised they changed the lore that the temple was the black materia

[@chrisharding3200]

​@ms.pirate I don't think they did tbf the cutscene where we see the temple vanish it turns into what appears to be a black ball. I think Sephiroth knows this hence he threw It away but in his style he just had to mess with Cloud while doing so. The real materia was given to Cloud by Aerith after the fall. Hence he takes it from his pocket at the end of the game

[@zackvyle]

Final Fantasy 7 How to train your Cloud

[@lelela2211]

Honestly this game made me feel sick at times. We as players grew to love cloud and seeing him slowly changing towards the end and him becoming insane realy hurt me. Especially seeing tifa.... I dont want to imagine how deep they will go on that in part 3... poor cloud... This games characters are just so well done..

[@maellesaliou5871]

Yeah you see Cloud being a little more like himself and having fun with some side Quests and mini Games, you see him smile and spending nice and touching moments with his friends and love Interest with the dates at the gold saucer, the loveless play etc. But then Sephiroth's influence on him grows stronger and ruin everything Cloud build with himself and repress again his true self which was slowly emerging 😥 to replace him with something twisted and more to Sephiroth's liking (and Cloud's PTSD + Jenova cells repressing and altering his true memories about Zack didn't help either) And that scene where Cloud is just cheering with Dio but then hallucination Sephiroth appears and tells him to have fun while he still have time ? Oh boy that was also fucked up. I knew that having this Sephiroth keep haunting Cloud and harass him like that was prompt to further harm Cloud's psyche in Rebirth, but I wasn't expecting Sephiroth to manage to control Cloud to that extent, we certainly never saw him have that much influence on Cloud's mind and actions even in FF7 OG 😥

[@ErenDenizMert]

Cant wait for part 3 when he fully realizes what happened to his dear Aerith

[@ReductioadVeritas]

@lelela2211 in the original cloud beats the shit out of aerith and takes the black materia by force, he has always been meant to go through an arc of insanity, which makes his eventual restoration all the more fullfilling

​@@ReductioadVeritas Well unfortunately it is 2024, women cannot be touched in any scene

[@FidoHusky]

tell me about it the fact that Tifa had to intervene and tackle Cloud to the ground was probably the most crucial and most risky thing she has ever had to do and it bought enough time for Cloud to snap out of it hopefully with Aerith intervention Sephiroth can no longer control his mind

[@richardmcgowan1651]

Rebirth ended up being a better retelling of the events of OG FF7 at this stage of the game. Were Remake tried to change this up a bit. Maybe they weren't able to do anything because Cloud is very much under Sephiroth's control. Like in OG FF7. I think the only thing different here is they are trying to make it seem Aerith has influence over Cloud. Were she might be trying to help Cloud deal with what has happened to her.

[@Talis17118]

I think it is a case where in remake, fate was trying to keep the timeline going to a particular conclusion.. but now fate out of the way, Sephiroth is has more influence than he did in the other game.. however, Aerith also has a degree of influence as well that i think vexes Sephiroth quite a bit.

[@Storm1Trooper5]

It was better rightttt until the altar sequence

[@ms.pirate]

They did a terrible job with "remake" by trying to make it a sequel. Reason being, kadaj and the other 2 were the whispers bosses in "remake". They weren't even existed yet! How is it even possible they were very early in the story? I'm glad the team were like "oh shit this timeline thing is turning into kingdom hearts, but its too late to change it. Welp lets slowly change it again to get back on track to be an actual remake". I'm surprised they haven't kick Nomura out again for the second time

[@snowykitten6860]

0:41 you think his plea for the materia was so that he could regain control of himself? 🤔 It could just be me but he sounded desperate there instead of creepy

[@genevievelaplace7301]

I think his plea was just the manipulation Sephi did to him. Like manipulating him into thinking tha the black materia is the only thing that matter to the world.

[@Orwhi]

He's just lost in delusion, at this point hes just desperately seeking Sephiroth's approval all he wants is to deliver the black materia to sephiroth

[@skahadi3005]

they didn't put the young cloud in this scene, why square, why?

[@mrsgamer9218]

Yea i missed that as while. Child cloud was his sane mind trying to keep cloud from doing stupid stuff

[@snowykitten6860]

It would've been so cool if we heard child cloud call out to him while he staggered- The things they could've done- blur his voice, make it tiny, maybe with a tinge of static as Jenova tries and fails to keep the voice away! One cool detail in gameplay- if you try turning around, the game doesn't let you. He stumbles and walks a bit forward instead. Gives the impression that we, the player, is child cloud trying to take back control but is failing to. It's a pretty cool detail :D

[@maellesaliou5871]

Maybe to show us how further control Sephiroth does have over Cloud this time 😥 Remember in Remake when Cloud fell in the Church of sector 5 ? Before he woke up he heard the voice of his true self encouraging him, same as in FF7 OG, the difference is that in Remake, the hand and voice that were positively encouraging Cloud suddenly turn into Sephiroth, and the white background becomes Black, as if to show us that this time Sephiroth is really more assertive and acting with the influence he has on Cloud than he did in FF7 OG, to the point that in Rebirth, even Cloud's childlike self voice can no longer reach him for now. I dread to see what will happen in part 3, we know Cloud's breakdown about his false memories is coming up, that the moment he hears the mix of truth and lies from Sephiroth's mouth, he's gonna lose his mind. But in OG Cloud's body at least made it toward Mideel until Tifa found him and both fell into the lifestream and had Cloud fix his memories. But I fear that in part 3, Sephiroth will make sure this time that Cloud will never get the chance to fix his broken memories 😥

[@AnthonyDay-s1z]

I wonder how Cloud, having such immense willpower to kill Sephiroth in the first place, fails to use his will to change things over here? Perhaps willpower is like a muscle, he must've broke it...

[@genevievelaplace7301]

Hmmmmm its much more complicated than that.

[@azazel166]

If Sephiroth is aware of what happened, why doesn't he go after Tifa? If he kills her, then Cloud's mind won't be repaired and no one will be able to stop him.

[@ms.pirate]

He kinda did in gongaga. Probably on the writing's fault

[@thebrigade7684]

I uh don't think SE can recover from the backlash that might happen if they kill off one of the most popular female heroine they created I don't blame them for giving her the plot armor but atleast compared to og Sephiroth recognizes the fact that Tifa is problematic for his plans.

[@amoghsawant3801]

i dont understand why sephiroth and aeris keeps giving cloud materia and telling him to give it back short after. i guess i kind of a trust fall or bible symbolism i missed?

[@genevievelaplace7301]

Its because there is multiple world. Sephi said it. He needed Cloud to give him the real on he unlock.

[@Orwhi]

Thats the point, there is no logical reason for Sephiroth to throw the black materia and make cloud give it back. He's treating cloud like a dog making him play fetch for it because at the end of the day all sephiroth wants is ruin cloud. And in this scene Aerith only gave cloud the black materia back because it was either that or die, and she knows shes not supposed to die yet

[@genevievelaplace7301]

@@Orwhi He litteraly said: That black materia is a key for opening the path between world where the true one is. He litterally said it. Also maybe he wanted to test his control over Cloud at this point. This is why he tell him to give back to him when he sumonned the real black materia.
