No, Aerith is alive. Tifa had static and saw both worlds. One, Aerith is covered in blood. Two, Cloud blocked Sephiroth and Aerith isn't harmed. Now, here's how you know which is which. Seph needed to force Cloud and company into the World Between Worlds with the key to get the black materia. This happened right when Tifa saw static. The WBW Temple is not on the Northern continent, only in the Main. The WBW is the OG game. Seph has taken everyone except Aerith to the OG world. That is why Aerith seems dead. Cloud understands it's an illusion. Cissnei doesn't feel Zack is dead either.

So instead of the OG plot of "get Black Materia, summon Meteor, nearly destroy the planet to harvest all the lifestream energy," it's "Get Cloud and the others to kill fate itself, to cause timelines to split, then bring the timelines back together, and get the Black Materia, summon Meteor, and and nearly destroy the planet to harvest all the lifestream energy."

Convoluted storytelling is a way for them to cover up shitty and lazy writing. Its like them trying to say "we're so enigmatic in our storytelling you just dont understand" when really its "we really do not know what the hell we're writing and we've written ourselves into a corner so we leave it up to your interpretation." And it really shows in the final chapter of rebirth. Squeenix writers have been doing this crap for a while, they dont realize that simple storytelling is more effective, now i fear they've been caught up in their own narrative web to be able to give a coherent part 3 conclusion. Even after part 3 i think there still will be more questions than answers since rebirth now raises even more questions

The Dyne scene is a chronic problem with Square-Enix not understanding what makes tragic villains iconic. They did the same thing to Sephiroth over a much longer period of time, they delete basically every and any connection he had to humanity in the original, the real feeling of betrayal at Shinra and the visceral disgust he began to feel for humanity upon discovering (incorrectly) through Ghast's research that Jenova was a Cetra and that they were harvesting her DNA through actual tissue from her body to create their super-soldiers. The Squenix version of Sephiroth is a flashy copy of Aizen where everything that happens has to be part of some plan of his. Squenix Sephiroth is a glorified cutscene-generator.

But then...The game itself is a Gold Saucer...Meaning...As a player you are the idiot getting abused by Shinra (Square Enix) for profits. Its all so ironic.

@@agamersinsanity This guy has not played the original clearly. Lol. They literally called the first part final fantasy remake lool. And advertised it as a remake. They either outright lied or falsely advertised?? Jenova has a mimic ability and can appear as anyone or anything. Sephiroth gains this ability from Jenova. Jenova has the ability to call a reunion to gather her individual parts should she become separated. Sephiroth gains this ability from jenova. (Sephiroth was infused with Jenova cells in the womb) It is not a sequel. Sephiroth did die in final fantasy 7 ps1. He died at Nibelheim , he falls into the lifestream with Jenovas head. The lifestream cannot absorb him as he is not from the planet and he ends up in a mako cocoon in the northern crater where he is healing and soaking up mako. He then uses Jenovas mimic ability to control people that has jenovas cells to call a reunion to recreate his mother. When he learns about the black materia he decides to use it to attack the planet and siphon off the planets healing abilities to repair itself. Making sephiroth into a god like being. Where he can then continue Jenovas work of traveling the solar system to feed off of other planets life force. He manipulates cloud into bringing him the black materia which is used to summon meteor a powerful spell that can destroy the planet. Because cloud is infected with Jeniva cells. When the reunion is succesful we fight a weakend form of Jenova and then a reincarnated sephiropth. With sephiroth defeated cloud challenges the mental hold over him that sephiroth is using to manipulate him using Jenovas cells. The final battle is not a physical battle but a mental battle in clouds mind. In the movie sephorith once again can not be absorbed into the lifestream and his remnants desire a reuinuin they belive the reuinuin is to reunite with jenova but it is to reuinte Sephiroth eho has gained this ability from jenova. This is why his remnants exist. They seek to reunite with Jenova but really sephiroth is using them to reuinte his own body. The remake/rebirth is clearly going for a timeline where sephiroth was either successful or managed to escape his fate and is now looking for an alternate timeliness to remove aaerith and the white materia do he cannot be stopped. So this is an alternate sephiroth who has either been successful in taking over his particular universe and now seeks to control them all or has escaped his destiny and is now seeking to be successful. This is a remake and it is being done very poorly. Unfortunately.

Me and my friend were a huge fan of Arkane Studios. We were so hyped for Deathloop before it came out. We both played it, and couldn’t believe IGN gave it a 10/10. We thought the mission structure sucked forcing you to stay in one area, no time progression unless you moved missions. Powers only limited to two (whereas dishonoured you could have loads) I suspect that all of this was due to them forcing multiplayer on you. And I feel everyone loved it. Something similar here with FF7 rebirth. I got to chapter 11 and uninstalled the game.

It's about the cruelties of war, freedom, sacrifice, humanity, racism, fear, dealing with loss and so on. Everything in that show, happens because of a cycle of hatred. And it shows that the only way to break such cycles, is to truly understand the other side instead of hanging on to prejudices. That's why it's so deep. If anything it's a reflection of our own world. You have to actually think about the story to understand it and that's not a bad thing. There are many clues throughout the series about what's going on. I had no issues understanding it at all just like many others who liked the show. There couldn't be so many Videos explaining the story bit for bit if it has so many plotholes. And to come back to ff7 rebirth, nobody has to like the story at all.

I did FF7 Remake 100% plus DLC and really felt it had too much silly side quests, unneeded bloat and unnecessary trophies. I’ve been putting off Rebirth and I fear it’s not only more of the same but a hell of a lot more of the same 😅 maybe 1 day but I’m not ready to endure it just yet (if ever)

I sadly agree with this, I loved Remake but I'm having a really hard time trying to get through Rebirth. These damn mini-games that constantly pop up are annoying. I just want to experience the main story and enjoy combat. I got to Junon last night and was excited to get through the parade and stuff, but as I dressed as a soldier I was told that I needed to go find my troop of soldiers individually for the parade. I was like nah, that's it. Just let me join the parade! Stop sending me on meaningless side quests! I'm so tired of these games where I get to a person and they're like "I'll help you, but you gotta help me first." It's like a pyramid scheme of chores.

Agreed. I would also say they’re over using sephiroth to the point that all of the mystique around him it’s gone. Take the midgardsormr fight for instance. In the original, you had no hope of beating it, so seeing the aftermath of sephiroth skewering one showed the insane power difference. Now we get sephiroth appearing out of nowhere to… save cloud for reasons? The whole scene was very much the type of crap you’d expect from KHs not FF7.

@TenderViddlez 9 ай бұрын

@@shibby0690 Yeah, that scene was utter ASS lol. It's like anything you give square enix they are going to FUMBLE it. They can't be trusted with delivering a good story anymore... even one that's already finished and when they only have to remake it with a few touch ups. It's almost like they forgot the reason behind us avoiding the Midgar Zolom. It was supposed to set up the character of Sephiroth and add to the fear of his strenght. But that scene where he saves cloud was just a disgrace. And when I seen Sephiroth toss the snake up, I said to myself "WATCH it get impaled on the tree"... Square Enix is really tone def and out of touch... I bet they thought "Hey, here's the snake on the tree scene from the original... NOSTALGIA RIGHT EH EH?" *facepalm. Totally missing the fact they already ruined the reason to even want to see that again.

I hate how they did Dyne. Absolutely hate it. The emotional heaviness in the OG truly captured the different paths, and helped out more of hiw much pain Barret has to endure and find a way to move on, showing his true strength of how he continually moves forward for the sake of his daughter that isn't his real daughter.

Yes. Thank you. Lets not forget the most basic story telling rule. If you want to make an imposing, scary, and ominous villain, dont let your main character beat him at the end of every game. The original game, Advent Children, Crisis Core, FF7 Remake, FF7 Rebirth, and we all know the 3rd installment as well. Every single piece of media Sephiroth has been in, he has lost to the main character (Cloud/Zack). He has turned into a joke thabks to incompetent writing and game design.

Enjoyed Remake a lot but Rebirth, whilst initially i loved it, i gave up at Chapter 9 because i just wasn't enjoying it. There's no story at all, no narrative structure - they go to a place, mess about as if they're on holiday, then leave for the next place with nothing meaningful happening in that location at all. And it's like that for every location. There's literally no story. It's just filler.

Interestingly enough, I had the exact same complaint about the boss fights. They feel like a chore, not like something cool. I thought the boss fights in FF16 were amazing. I actually couldn't wait to fight another boss because they kept upping the ante on spectacle and greatness. In FF7R, I dread boss fights because it's generally the same steps for me; 1. start fight, figure out what weakness 2. restart fight, now with proper materia/elemental 3. grind toward stagger 4. actually do damage and beat boss I can't stand boss fights that are almost immune to everything except for a specific tactic or element. No, I shouldn't have to master a game just to make boss fights faster and more tolerable. Until you stagger an enemy, it feels like you're beating a concrete wall with your bare hands and the game turns into a puzzle where you figure out the fastest way to stagger. Staggering should've been a bonus, not a requirement.
