The double meaning in Aerith exclaiming “you don’t remember?” and “crazy, us meeting like this again.” Aerith knows Cloud is having visions of the past/future. When she touchs Red XIII, he remembered Aerith immediately, and was up to speed with the visions and the whispers. She probably is confused that Cloud “doesn’t remember” yet. And them meeting again, across time and space after everything that has/will happen. That’s why I like the remake, and hope the sequels continue in this direction. Making the original game matter, having the original story have meaningful impact on the characters, rather than just a repeat of the original story. I’m perfectly happy with the Remake being both a remake and a sequel.

[@GTH-gt8xq]

she never played OG so voice acting Aerith was just another job for her, it's not like she was emotionaly connected to this character - she's now just pretending to be "oh so emotional I'm gonna cry" just to get the views

[@Llewcalon]

@@GTH-gt8xq While she may not have played the OG game when she was a kid, she is a massive FF gamer, having put 1,200 hours into FF14 and also played through FF15, so she knows the themes Squareenix employs in their games. Plus she's the daughter of a gamer (her mother gamed loads when she was a kid). Finally, someone on here said she played the OG with Barrets VO actor so they knew what had come before. It's one way of putting yourself into the mind of the character you're going to play. Briana is incredibly passionate about gaming and FF in general, so I think you're completely wrong when you say she's "pretending". The thing about acting is (and I know because I am an actor) you inhabit these characters. It's not just speaking words to a microphone. You connect with them in the same way we'd connect with new friends we'd just met. So her emotional response to this is genuine.

[@GTH-gt8xq]

@@Llewcalon LOL when she played FF7 with Barret's voice actor that was the very first time she ever played OG and it was January 2020, 2 or 3 months before the release of FF7 remake. How the fuck she had any personal connection to Aerith if she knew shit about OG right before the game

[@Llewcalon]

@@GTH-gt8xq She even says that she knew that Aerith died in the original, but that she wasn't familiar with the rest of the game. She'd have been given an overview of the game itself as well, and would have done research into it before fulfilling the gig she had been employed to do. As I said, it ain't just about reading lines into a microphone, you actually need to understand the character you're playing, or it won't come across as real. It'll just be emotionless and fake. The fact she does a fantastic job of it shows she at least knew enough to inhabit the character of Aerith. And as I said, she is long time FF gamer. That was her 'in' to understanding how SE wanted it done. So once again, she ain't "pretending" to cry. Her response in genuine!

Absolutely. I feel sorry for anyone playing this game not familiar with the original because this is clearly meant for those of us who did play through it. This vision is a great way to show that, those who aren't familiar with what happens will be like "that was weird" while those who have are suddenly hit with all the grief and anger that we felt back then all over again.

[@sunshinegamer1981]

I'm pretty sure Aerith was resigned to her fate, at least during the dream sequence where she was telling Cloud not to fall for her. Now? *shrugs* Maybe things will turn out for the better even if Sephiroth did it to screw the Planet over. Though, knowing Square Enix, they'll pull the " everything MUST be the way it was in the original timeline, so everyone who survived in the new timeline must die for the Planet to be saved" ending. The only time travel plot game I can think of that Square Enix didn't screw over the main heroes happy ending is Chrono Trigger. And this isn't that. 😅

The most interesting thing I learned watching Briana is when Aerith says she loved a 1-Class soldier before. In this game Cloud gets a “brainflash” when Aerith responds so we don’t actually hear her say anything (of fans know the name anyways). Briana confirmed that they DID record a line for that part.

This game really does feel less as remake or reboot, and more like a time-travelling sequel, with only Sephiroth and apparently also Aerith knowing of future events. What the hell is Sephiroth planning is the question, because his old agenda seems to had been discarded.

[@LucreciaCrescentIsBestGirl]

You misspelled Jenova.

[@Nikolai508]

It's because it isn't "a remake of FF7" It's "Final Fantasy 7 : Remake". Remake is the subtitle of this game and can mean many things. We know for certain that Sephiroth in this game is from the future or from another reality. He knows things. Aerith may know more than she let's on as well.

[@dearthofdoohickeys4703]

If you pay attention Sephiroth outright states what he wants _multiple_ times in the game. He has at least two monologues about it. He tells Cloud the planet is dying, and that if it dies everything that connects them will disappear. He doesn’t want that. He wants Cloud to become stronger so that he can survive. Now what does _that_ involve? THAT’s the real question.

[@Solais1019]

It's implied that the Lifestream flows through time, and Sephiroth/Jenova can't be completely absorbed into it, so Sephiroth has likely seen a number of timelines and found out how to forcibly manifest himself where he thinks will have the most impact. We destroyed "fate" through the Arbiter and I think Sephiroth led us to do that so he can control fate itself, which opens up a lot of possibility for him to try to change things as he desires. He stabbed Barret to prove a point to us - we were shielded by literal plot armor via the ghosts, but now after the fight he was shown directly controlling the ghosts, so we have no more plot armor. I think what Sephiroth ultimately wants, still hasn't changed. He wants to be a god, and he wants the power of the Lifestream all to himself...but he can't do that if the planet is fated to die, and perhaps in other timelines he ran out of chances to do so. How Cloud factors into all of this...we need more information, but I'm starting to wonder if Sephiroth wants to completely break Cloud so he can inhabit/control him as a "clone", rather than ultimately fighting him and losing time and time again. Without plot armor, Sephiroth is free to do as he pleases and he can kill or seriously harm the others, as foreshadowed in the presentation room where he teased Cloud by "killing" Tifa and Barret. "You're too weak to save anyone...not even yourself" and he's probably going to cause some scenarios where Cloud is helpless to save his friends. "Hold on to that anger"...I think his goal is to thoroughly destroy Cloud's mind this time and get rid of the "good guy" deep down that Barret directly pointed out before they ascended the Wall. Cloud beat Sephiroth because of his friends, their support, and his own willpower. So I think Sephiroth is trying to destroy Cloud's will, and without the plot ghosts, he can do something about the friendship support now as well. His focus on Cloud's survival has me concerned that he's going to try to supplant Cloud's will or consciousness with his own, since Cloud was ultimately the only "successful" Sephiroth clone. He's trying to act more magnanimous to get Cloud et al confused, I bet. He wants to come across as a world savior and I think it's to destabilize Aerith's credibility, she's trying to keep fate as it "should be" which is supposedly dooming the Planet anyway, versus his attempts to "save" the planet by destroying fate's lock on the eventual destruction. I may be reading too much into it but I feel like there are many layers of subterfuge he's putting into play already.

@@Solais1019 i think it's going to be much weirder/darker. after rewatching a lot of the gameplay after beating the game, i'm noticing more and more oddities. if you watch cloud immediately after having the vision, he acts like he's being mind controlled to say his next line, like a puppeteer is making him say what he's supposed to. maybe aerith herself.

Crazyyyy had beat rebirth a few weeks back and I wanted to play the remake, CC, and intermission again and man when I saw that flashback I was like yoooooo I never noticed that at all

[@anthonydeadman]

Man....when the next parts in the Remake come around, this is going to hit us in the heart so hard and it'll hurt so badly. But at the same time, it's gonna make Briana all the more beloved as a voice actor. Well, more so than she is beloved already.

[@EsquilaxM]

Dude...the voice actress herself! So cool And her look when she realised they out a flashforward in there. 0o0 XD

[@MrMojojojojojojo]

😢 Omg, hope she survives this time, i don’t want her to die like in the original

This whole game was a PTSD trip, from start to finish

[@gammaalpha9631]

when i saw this the first time, i got up and closed the game was literally like GG im done

[@Bernkastel-S117]

When I saw those glimpses of the future… felt masamune going through me again.

[@DeadMasterMusic]

The way Areith’s voice actor cried during her scene is how well polished this game is the character models, the expressions and the mannerisms heck if I heard my own voice, and I see another character doing the mannerisms to that extreme level, I would even recognize myself

“Is Cloud able to see into the future now?!” Aerith: “Could be.”

Nomura was doing the Gendo Hikari pose when he made this scene.

I never play the game but i know the story when i watch my big sis play the old game, well yeah I'm totally shock when i saw that vision and say "what the hell!!!!!! WHY YOU SHOW THAT VISION ABOUT HER DEATH!!!!!!!"

“Is Cloud able to see into the future now?!” Wrong game bud

5:38 i cant imagine aerith voiceovers playing the game,she already knew all the stuff lol

[@LoryLilyBomber]

Not everything, I think she would only know the context of her own scenes

[@venar4248]

They dont say stuff what will happen in Part 2 or 3 maybe .... she dont know anything what happens in this scene! Except she played the original ^^ You only get the content in the CURRENT game!

[@youngrydah4374]

@@venar4248 she does know about aerith death though. And adventure children.

[@Slagomancer]

This scene was very carefully written with a lot of meaning and double meaning, SQUENIX didn't tremendous job.

[@erinchambers9]

The guy’s reaction at 5:02 was 100% me. Lol

[@konstantin_karpov]

To save Aerith we need to get to the steins gate world line

[@adityasundaram3602]

personally, I think that it is a side effect of sephiroth screwing with the timeline, I think that the remake sephiroth is actually the one from the end of advent children from how he literally recreates the scene where he died during his boss fight cutscene and these visions are due to the Jenova cells he and cloud share. resulting in cloud remembering what is technically the future i.e the OG timeline

[@Willant80]

We must deceive the world then!

[@konstantin_karpov]

Deceive yourself Deceive the world

[@grunermrk]

Once these scenes started to show up I knew we were in for a new take on the series. The implications of those scenes showing up and the music arrangement in certain scenes clearly clues in to this being not the original final fantasy timeline.

[@tlesser-aase7394]

I just want to hug all of them. We all know and we all survived it to be right back here again. Except Briana, she's living it and that deserves the biggest group hug.

[@ahumanbeing_3]

I think Briana (Aerith's VA) and Aerith fit so well together.

[@44kryth]

I hope they keep THAT in! Though I don't know if my heart could handle it in HD!

Damn hahahahahahaha so true

[@cloudsweater]

I remember not knowing wtf happened here. A year later, played FF7, Crisis Core and watched Advent Children Complete...now this scene hits hard. Though I already got spoiled due to curiosity ya know when you finish a game you start watching vids and reviews. Either way, this scene still hits hard

[@vikhdez9306]

Back here cause it fucking happened...

[@BEHEDETY]

I wanted a girl like Aerith in my life!

[@venar4248]

Suuuuuper rare or even impossible to get someone like her! ... Too much gold-digger whores or cheap bitches on twitch! ... A CHARACTER like Aerith do not exist in our world (in my opinion)

And I want Sephiroth... I mean, Cloud.

[@dennyfw]

So you want a girl whom her death will always reminds you of your failure in (on) saving your friend/brother in arms (zack) and also his girlfriend... Or what...?

[@Dad2Kids]

In this game Cloud see future. Me, see a flashback. It's too sad to remember how the crew react for her death.

[@Orto-jj2di]

The future is slowly sneaking into the past

They reached into our collective childhoods with this scene.

[@c1apifi3dgames6]

4:40 was legit me when I played through...

[@theemaster1018]

SAME

[@krzysztofysak5195]

I have an idea. Everything is gonna go the same way, you will see Cloud being controlled again, but this time he will know whats coming, but he won't be able to stop it. Then we will see Sephiroth falling with his sword pointed down, and when a tear will start running down on your cheek, and you will stop breathing... Zack will jump out from nowhere and save the day. I think this is gonna be an alternate universe where they have to fix lots of stuff. Maybe even Sephiroth, and we will get a new even worse final boss.

[@chrism2887]

4:45 Aerith breaking the fourth wall.

[@PopADoseYo]

First time it happened I had a stream of a single tear run down both of my eyes instantly.

[@nomadenbug]

Maybe this is the vision of alternate realty which we have played it, so maybe the outcome of this game is different?

[@sunshinegamer1981]

We can hope, but odds are that they'll pull a "got to put things right in order to win and save the planet" ending. Squaresoft didn't like having "last of their kind" types living through their games back in the day. Except for Terra Branford. I don't think they'll have Zack and Aerith live through this one. But that could just be me trying to predict the unpredictable.

[@solidsnakeneo]

"Pretty crazy, huh? Us meeting again like this. You should stay awhile." That's one of THE BEST 4th wall breaking moments I've ever seen!

[@aspie_gamer]

If you look closely at the exact camera shots leading up to the vision, you can see that it's showing where the white materia is in her hair. Also, Aerith is my favorite final fantasy 7 character by far, so I'm hoping she doesn't die.

[@reyana5365]

the vision of depressing childhood

[@JuniorUchiha1]

I can't imagine what a big impact it would have if by any chance... they changed Aerith's ending, imagine if you meet certain conditions or do something super difficult and you have a chance to save her. Those of us who went through her death would fight to the death.

[@aldoesthing.x3642]

I'm practically a newcomer to this game, and I was confused seeing that sudden vision. I was curious, so I did my research and watched footage of the original game. I uh... I really wasn't expecting that gosh- I'm so excited/scared to see that scene remastered XD
