Man I love this special for so many reasons 1 This animation is fucking slick even on 480p youtube video this still looks good 2 Zack being a cocky badass, still couldn't wise crack his way out of a sniper shot tho 3 All that Shrina and turk stuff was dope... 10:56 I never thought I'd see a flip flop in Final Fantasy 4 Tifa is the hottest, her scene with Cloud is so sweet, I put Tifa before Aerith any day... 9:40 did Sephiroth's slash make her breasts grow? 5 Sephiroth is the classic evil momma's boy, man he's sounds so evil you think people would catch onto it. 6 Cloud seems to only care about avenging his village and getting his dick on with Tifa. Which is fair enough 7 Hojo is creepy bastard, Zack doesn't know when to shut the fuck up (I mean Cloud just lost everything) and Sephiroth needs like Aerith needs to watch his back.
what the hell. is this like 2 different story arcs happening in different time? because that's the only explanation for cloud and zach not going to the reactor and helping tifa... why can't square just come up with a consistent story for this damn game??
Whoa wait wait wait...this isn't what happened!!! Lmfao xD Sephiroth stabs cloud, cloud grabs on to blade and throws Sephiroth into the pit. He didn't even take Jenova. What happened here? Hm maybe they didn't like the first idea? Lol
Kat Hearts he actually saves cloud, the sniper shot never hit zack. The scene where Zack dies only appears in the games and I think advent children if I remember correctly.
!? Sephiroth jumped with Jenova to the mako pit? Do I need to interpret this as another attempt to make Sephiroth look more badass because he can't be defeated by an adrenaline-rushed Cloud? Oh please. For all the people that have never played FF7: what really happened is that Cloud threw Sephy after he stabbed him. Sephiroth was injured but still overconfident of his own abilities and supposed Cetra heritage. He would have expected this last effort from a SOLDIER like Zack, but never from an infantry guy like Cloud. Still the animation is great.
zack worked with genesis , as sephiroth known as sefirosu or in Hebrew seferot was a soldier . sephiroth had ben ubducted as a child he bagan traing as a souja from earlier years such as 4-5 age he became a such soldier the age 5-7 making his own style of kenshin with the kitana titled nodachi which is a type of weapon along with the kitana used in samurai warfare during the last order cloud - kuraudo was enfuriated due to the destruction of nibelheim an tifas near death an the shinra mansion because of sephiroth cloud actually followed an honred sefy such like zack I do know because I used to work @ square ennix from 2011 - 2014 I lifed in Shimonoseki-shi I now life in phx az yes az is a fagg state
+katsusheigo idejima-kusuragi Sphiroth wasnt abducted. Lucrecia and Hojo are Sephiroths children. The only difference is that Sephiroth was injected with Jenova cells soon after his conception/fertilization. Not only that but during the experiments he was exposed to mako showering to further enhance his abilities.
+d13sel1990 Sephitoth: Along the way let's get a magical wing, kill the president of a mega corp., kill an innocent flower merchant, awaken the sealed weapons and become a half 'God'!! I seriously think J-E-N-O-V-A should review her parenting.
Sephiroth *stabs cloud* "Oh, oh I'm so sorry did that hurt? Did getting impaled straight though the chest with cold steel blade hurt Cloud? WELL NOW YOU KNOW HOW IT FUCKING FEELS"
You guys forget that Zack and Sephiroth were friends, Zack didn't fight to kill, he couldn't believe how much Sephiroth changed. On the other hand, Cloud sneaked from behind and stabbed Sephiroth. Of course he was able to beat him, Sephy burned his home town and killed his mother, his hatred was to overwhelming. I don't think it's about Zack vs Cloud, because if you look at it from the outside, Cloud has all of Zack's techniques and has perfected them...Zack never had the chance because he died :) Cheers.
I really woder what are they going to do with graphics of the game, im a little bit concerned. what i would want to see is the good old FF VII game with graphics like FF advent children.. but what do i do now? i should start saving money for PS4 :(
Yeah but honestly it probably wont be out for 5 years. He said the game is 3 times the size of FF13 so u know it'll take a couple of years. That and he has to actually announce the start of the production and I'm sure that wont be by next summer so you got time.

I will never forgive them for changing the scene at the reactor, Cloud throwing Sephiroth in the reactor (instead of jumping by himself, as shown here) was one of the biggest HOLY SHIT of my childhood, it totally blew my mind because at the time they where telling the truth about how weak Cloud was, yet he still managed to do something incredible badass, fuck them for ruining it.
I fully agree. The original scene is the best scene in the entire FF series IMO next to a certain world changing event in FFVI. The music and the timing was flawless.
I'm going to try and make this brief: SOMEONE, *cough* Square *cough* Enix *cough* REALLY needs to remake Final Fantasy VII along with Crisis Core, an actual return of Sephiroth (*VII-2!?!?*), and possibly a playable Advent Children, Before Crisis, and an actual good version (if possible) of Dirge of Cerberus (for starters, switch between Vincent, Cloud, Tifa, Yuffie, etc, and have Genesis as an alternate final boss/ending) all in HD like we thought VII would happen at PS3's launch. -They just re-released *Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD* and *Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD,* and compared to their masterpiece FFVII, KH and X are relatively new! Plus, they just made their *third FFXIII* game with Lightning having Cloud's gear. We all know how poorly received XIII was, and I'm not even sure about XIII-2 or Lightning Returns. Let's not even mention X-2. -And by VII remake, I mean incorporate KH/FFXV's awesome Battle System, and maybe add extras like KH: Final Mix has; ie make those caped "remnants" bosses like Kadaj, make the Sapphire Weapon a boss, add ties to the FF/KH universe, etc. -And by VII-2, I mean have Genesis and Sephiroth terrorize the planet again already. Who gives 2 hits and a flying fluck about that wannabe Weiss/Nero? Well, I don't because I'm probably never going to touch that thing. -Why? Why are they still making KH1 spin-offs that are either boring or a rehash of the first game (Chain of Memories,) overly extended (356/2 Days), utterly pointless (Coded,) or include cuddling pink fluffy-flucks to level up (Dream Drop Distance.) Enough procrastinating. Kingdom Hearts 3? Final Fantasy VII HD?? VII-2??? I'm surprised "XV" isn't going to be delayed further: "Final Fantasy XV[XIII-Versus] started production shortly before its announcement in May 2006." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XV 8 years and no release date, nor do we get the well-received Agito outside of Japan. Someone needs to be fired. I don't want to be 50 years old by the time these happen, or worse, have the developers be dead before then or have video games go extinct. I just beat Crisis Core, and now I want to kick ass as Cloud in HD action God-dammit, and I'm not talking about Dissidia. But maybe that's the reason right there: maybe nobody cares about VII anymore because developers think players either "grew out of them", or are too young to have played them. Maybe the same is true for XV and KH3: those games might be considered "outdated" and forgotten because they were lost in time, and if they ever do come out, they might fall a bit short, like Duke Nukem Forever, and all of those could-be great DBZ games, Playstation All-Stars, and to some extent Smash Bros Brawl. Maybe this is the generation for anyone born in the 80's-90's to give up on those and either stop gaming, or focus on upcoming titles like CoD4: MW4, part 2 section 3 Black Ops Edition, instead of Star Wars Battlefront 3 and Powerstone 3. A part of me could cry. Nah, it's just a game: A game that could have been great.
I find it strange that a big company like Square Enix would struggle with staff count and funds to relaunch Final Fantasy VII. If anything, it should be easier since everything has already been laid out, and thus not as much creativity will be required, whereas much more effort would have to be done for games from scratch, like Kingdom Hearts DDD, 1.5, and Final Fantasy XIII, XIII-2, Lightning Returns, XIV, and now XV. Further, how would they struggle with characters' hair being brunette? They already made characters with lots of hair in recent titles, and I don't see how color would affect it's difficulty much, if at all, especially when they already made brunettes in their games, like Squall, Rinoa, Yuna, Lulu, Sora, Kairi, Xion, Terra, Fang, and Noctis. Perhaps darker hair requires a certain "gleam" to reflect light, etc compared to blonde, but that should not hold them back. I don't think anyone even likes Cait Sith, but it is funny that he is holding the game back once again. I've seen a FFVII for the computer on youtube, but it looked exactly like the original except certain sprites were slightly improved, comparable to the final battle sprite of Cloud when he does Omnislash being more detailed than Cloud's normal sprite.
So it's the color of the hair that's so difficult to manage? I guess now I have a lot more respect for brunettes. Still, we're talking about the remake for VII. I'm sure they know that it would be their number one seller, right next to XV. It wouldn't be for some game rehash; it would be for *THE GAME REHASH.* Let's not forget what games they just released: KH 1.5 & FF X/X-2 HD. They also released rehashes of the early FF titles on the DS, yet there has been none for VII. Too much pressure perhaps? Nah...It should be much easier to make than their recent titles. Their main concern should be for graphics and gameplay alone, because the story, characters, and setting have already been panned out. They need to just get over their hair problems, and knock it out. I like your allusion to the book, though I'd say it's more similar to translating a book from one language to another, or perhaps adding in more details and descriptive scenes, because the story has already been created; it just needs to be updated and re-released. VII-2 would be closer to your example. They did a great job with Crisis Core, although it's gameplay was somewhat repetitive, even though the actual game was relatively short apart from Missions/Quests. Was that made by their current staff, or the ones that went to Capcom? I would be happy enough to see VII treated similarly, though a bit more refined. Besides, ever since VII, Square has always released games with some of the greatest graphics, so, again, it feels like graphics should be no problem. XIII and DC seemed to have both suffered sales because of linear/simple gameplay and possibly poor characters, but were praised for their graphics. In another world, I could see Square Enix merging with Capcom to give us titles like Final Fantasy vs Capcom, and Final Fantasy: T-Virus Apocalypse. Don't you agree? I'm gonna go fry some fish, because now you've made me hungry. Some tender but crispy BBQ Salmon would be nice.
What is their Magnum Opus? I'm terrible at hoping; I have no faith. Hoping has never worked or have done me or anyone any good. I could say I was hoping I might have hope after these comments, but I don't want to disappoint myself further. I'd rather just assume that Final Fantasy VII HD is the game that we deserve, but not the game that we need.
OmegaPyron Sorry for replying 3 weeks later, but firstly to the last line, there is a HD version of FF7 for the pc. (do note that Hd and remade graphics are totally different!!). But the big difference between them doing KD 1.5 and X/X2 is that all they were doing was putting it in HD. FF7, for what you're wanting and everyone else would be wanting, they'd have to redo all the graphics from scratch. Yes they'd have it laid out on what they'd look like and everything, but they'd still have to redo all of it and then animate it. You'd then have to do all the voice acting, I'd assume that wouldn't take THAT long though. The world map would have to change in some way or it just wouldn't fit in a current day design. Is that it?
"Final Fantasy XVI is... released in Japan on December 17, 2017, and March 9, 2018 for North America and Europe - both of these the same as Final Fantasy XIII. A sequel titled Final Fantasy XVI-2 was announced on E3 2018. Further sequels including Final Fantasy XVI-3, Final Fantasy XVI-4, Final Fantasy XVI-5 and Final Fantasy Finis XVI have been released." -finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/User:Coolawits/Final_Fantasy_XVI Now, I'm not sure if this is a joke by "Coolawits" or legitimate news, and if it is legetimate... ARE THEY OUT OF THEIR MIND!?!?! Six different FFXVI games?? It would be a millenium until FFVII was remade, and unless FFXVI-FFXVI-6 >> FFVII in terms of EVERYTHING: . __ ' ? '===<>O'===' , . _ /\ _/\ _ . , ^ Pyron is not amused
DeAryian Pointer. Nope. Cloud was never ever a first class soldier. Never. He thought he was coz he had only woken up and his memories were blurry, and Zack had changed his Mako soaked clothes into a first class soldier'a uniform he had found in the Shinra Manor. And Zack is stronger than Cloud. He has always been. Cloud was not even part of soldier. He was only a simple infantryman. But becayse of his sword skills, people believed that he was indeed a first class soldier.
Based off facts Cloud is stronger. He wasnt orginally, like you said he only made infantry. But i guess getting soaked in mako and surviving caused him to equal or exceed 1st class powers. I love Zack, i think he was an awesome character and less moody or fucked up in the head than Cloud. But fact remains, Zack could never defeat Sephiroth, cloud has done it twice.
David Martin Well, I wouldn't use that to say he's stronger than Zack. I mean, don't get me wrong, AC Cloud or FF7 end game Cloud is indeed stronger than Zack yes, but Cloud has only beaten Sephiroth in a straight up fight once (maybe twice like you said if you count the battle at the center if the mind thing they did). I mean, Sephiroth has never really given it his all against Cloud alone. Cloud at the very least had 7 people to back him up to fight Sephiroth in FF7. Cloud got a sneak attack bonus, and instead of skewering Cloud when he had the chance, Cloud got pissed and tossed him into Mako (I'm going by the original). In terms of pure skill, Cloud has never bested him...at least that's what I think. Sorry, I know, old comment but...bleh!
Shaiye Gray What?! He never gave his all against Cloud? You call sending a comet across the universe to destroy your opponent not giving it your all? Pfff...
No Zack is not weaker than Cloud, Cloud got Sephiroth by a surprise. But he is special in some way, or at least his rage is. If Cloud is really pissed off, he is the most dangerous creature on the planet. Sephiroth learned that about 3 times now.
Reinstalt moska Well Cloud eventually gained more experience, skill and power than Zack ever had, but as they were right there? No. Cloud was not stronger. He was lucky to get Sephiroth off guard, and there is something special about his determination and rage, but he is not stronger. Dude it's not dragonball or some random anime, people do not win fights because they have higher power levels here, it's more realistic then that. They win because of many different circumstances and plot devices. Zack at this point is a fully tained, deadly mutant soldier with superhuman strength and reflexes, and Cloud is just a 16 year old guy. There is a clear difference right there. And that's how it's supposed to be. It should be a lesson that you can do great things without necessairly being more powerful and greater then the evil you face. Good, encouraging lesson.
He is stronger, this is not dragonball or some random anime,people win fights because are stronger and more skilled. hence why he was stronger here and even more stronger after. Hence why zack couldnt defeat cloud in his wildest dreams. Cloud is stronger, got faster reflexes and more skill than him.
The writing here is terrible... everything here is terrible... Well that's anime. People can complain about Crisis Core all they want, but at least Sephiroth didn't just up and decide to jump inside the fucking mako reactor after muttering something about the promised land.
If you played the game it would make more sense. The mako reactors plug into the "lifestream" Which is the source of all magic and life force on the planet. Sephiroth jumped(well, ok, in the game he was thrown in, but the end result was the same) in to merge with the lifestream so that he could corrupt the planet and take it over. The black materia gives him control over gravity, so he could use the entire planet as a vessel to travel from planet to planet throughout the cosmos, stealing all of the life energy and becoming a god incarnate. There's a lot more to the story in addition to that, but this is the gist of it.
Ankoku15 I did play the game. Everything gets reabsorbed into the lifestream. That's why it's the lifestream. I think there was a little bit more to his plan than just jumping into the aqua colored goo. If it were really that simple, then Sephiroth's plan still wouldn't work. He would have to contend with all the other "souls" in the lifestream. I don't remember everything well though.
JCDBionicman Ah, well he is a Cetra, remember? They have power over the lifestream and can preserve their consciousness in it like Aerith did. Sephiroth stole Jenova's head to merge with the cells because it gave him enough power to make that plan work. Jenova was the most powerful of the Cetra and it was her plan originally to take over the planet and merge with its life force.
Ankoku15 no, Jenova is not a Cetra, it was an alien that came from a distant planet that brought calamity to the planet, so the ancients/ Cetra battled it and sealed it away until it was discovered by scientists.
***** Cloud experienced it, so he knows, unless he was Mako poisoned and got his memories all messed up again. Hey Cloud, when is FFVII-2 coming out?? At least tell us when FFVII HD is coming out, or when you and Sephiroth are going to appear in Kingdom Hearts 3. I must know. Don't tell me you got it all mixed up again...
+iceluvndiva21 Well he believes in a taking his mummy (which, for the record is a manipulative alien parasite living in a jar) to the magical land that will make him a god by crashing a planet sized meteor into the earth.... Naaaaaaaah perfectly sane.
This is what boggles me so much almost every time. The Advent Children story had so much potential too, its just that the way it was told was.... forget it.
***** I do, and probably more than you. Final fantasy is a huge franchise, of course there is going to be merchandise, but there's really nothing that would constitute as "milking" it.
Well, I got into the FFVII franchise only 3 years ago, and I have become a huge fan! I would love to buy all of the merchandise and the games! So I do believe that they still can make money from the FFVII franchise, seeing as the some of the newer generations also discovers it! Anyway, have a great day/morning/evening/night!
@Gabriel Anderson, that is so true and I say it all the friggin time. Squaresoft was better as Squaresoft, then again that was the Golden Era of RPG's.
I can’t believe this hasn’t been taken down
If this really an anime series...
And so good ol' Sephiroth and lovely Jenova went straight to Israel
How come Cloud managed to survive being impaled by Sephiroth, but Aeris dies almost instantly?
Aeris is a girl. Cloud a man
12 years
I would LOVE for square to make an ffvii anime!
casan
Sephiroth, the usual hybrid of ass/jerk.
Man I love this special for so many reasons 1 This animation is fucking slick even on 480p youtube video this still looks good 2 Zack being a cocky badass, still couldn't wise crack his way out of a sniper shot tho 3 All that Shrina and turk stuff was dope... 10:56 I never thought I'd see a flip flop in Final Fantasy 4 Tifa is the hottest, her scene with Cloud is so sweet, I put Tifa before Aerith any day... 9:40 did Sephiroth's slash make her breasts grow? 5 Sephiroth is the classic evil momma's boy, man he's sounds so evil you think people would catch onto it. 6 Cloud seems to only care about avenging his village and getting his dick on with Tifa. Which is fair enough 7 Hojo is creepy bastard, Zack doesn't know when to shut the fuck up (I mean Cloud just lost everything) and Sephiroth needs like Aerith needs to watch his back.
4.If Tifa got hurt,will you be happy to see her show up with scar or deformity handicapped?
Happy? No way. but even if she was scarred or handicapped she still be the hottest. Tifa > Aeris *everyday*
Mate EVERYONE knows that JENOVA is the hottest babe in ff7.
I never noticed they used music from this in Crisis Core. Pretty sweet.
***** Crisis Core was released in Japan September 13th, 2007. Last order was released September 14th, 2005. I stand uncorrected.
***** Everyone makes mistakes, no worries.
what the hell. is this like 2 different story arcs happening in different time? because that's the only explanation for cloud and zach not going to the reactor and helping tifa... why can't square just come up with a consistent story for this damn game??
+FilthyCasualKai oh, they did go there. never mind.
i want more this ep!
Whoa wait wait wait...this isn't what happened!!! Lmfao xD Sephiroth stabs cloud, cloud grabs on to blade and throws Sephiroth into the pit. He didn't even take Jenova. What happened here? Hm maybe they didn't like the first idea? Lol
It's artistic license. It's more faithful to the source than most adaptations.
This was made before crises core just checked right now.
I cant get past Bizzaro Sephiroth out of the Final Bosses. My MP magic just b drained asf
I one shotted him with Knights of the Round, at lvl. 70, with only a few magic sources on Cloud
but still is Awesome
what happend!!?cloud zack?!the final is that?!
+Kat Hearts in game zack died, but in different circumstances. Just watch Final Fantasy Crisis Core Ending. SOOOO much better than this shit ;p
Zack got shot for protecting Cloud,then Cloud kneel on the ground and shout to sky because all this things happened and he cannot change it.
Kat Hearts he actually saves cloud, the sniper shot never hit zack. The scene where Zack dies only appears in the games and I think advent children if I remember correctly.
I liked the last order more than advent children
!? Sephiroth jumped with Jenova to the mako pit? Do I need to interpret this as another attempt to make Sephiroth look more badass because he can't be defeated by an adrenaline-rushed Cloud? Oh please. For all the people that have never played FF7: what really happened is that Cloud threw Sephy after he stabbed him.

wow this is super cool and also my dad beats me xD
Do anyone knows if they have this movie for the psp in English

Zack is/was so amazing. I knew he looked after Cloud, but wow. He's like the perfect big brother.
is this a movie? or one episode?

remeber that too, it was better when cloud impaled more deep the sword of sephiroth and throw him down
Apparently they learned from their mistake here and changed it back to Cloud throwing him into the reactor in Crisis Core.
Yea I think it was perfect the first way, but it probably wouldn't look right in modern time or in animation.
I fully agree. The original scene is the best scene in the entire FF series IMO next to a certain world changing event in FFVI. The music and the timing was flawless.
i didnt undertanded this shit either - when sephiroth jumped by himself it was more believable

I find it strange that a big company like Square Enix would struggle with staff count and funds to relaunch Final Fantasy VII. If anything, it should be easier since everything has already been laid out, and thus not as much creativity will be required, whereas much more effort would have to be done for games from scratch, like Kingdom Hearts DDD, 1.5, and Final Fantasy XIII, XIII-2, Lightning Returns, XIV, and now XV. Further, how would they struggle with characters' hair being brunette? They already made characters with lots of hair in recent titles, and I don't see how color would affect it's difficulty much, if at all, especially when they already made brunettes in their games, like Squall, Rinoa, Yuna, Lulu, Sora, Kairi, Xion, Terra, Fang, and Noctis. Perhaps darker hair requires a certain "gleam" to reflect light, etc compared to blonde, but that should not hold them back. I don't think anyone even likes Cait Sith, but it is funny that he is holding the game back once again. I've seen a FFVII for the computer on youtube, but it looked exactly like the original except certain sprites were slightly improved, comparable to the final battle sprite of Cloud when he does Omnislash being more detailed than Cloud's normal sprite.
So it's the color of the hair that's so difficult to manage? I guess now I have a lot more respect for brunettes. Still, we're talking about the remake for VII. I'm sure they know that it would be their number one seller, right next to XV. It wouldn't be for some game rehash; it would be for *THE GAME REHASH.* Let's not forget what games they just released: KH 1.5 & FF X/X-2 HD. They also released rehashes of the early FF titles on the DS, yet there has been none for VII. Too much pressure perhaps? Nah...It should be much easier to make than their recent titles. Their main concern should be for graphics and gameplay alone, because the story, characters, and setting have already been panned out. They need to just get over their hair problems, and knock it out. I like your allusion to the book, though I'd say it's more similar to translating a book from one language to another, or perhaps adding in more details and descriptive scenes, because the story has already been created; it just needs to be updated and re-released. VII-2 would be closer to your example. They did a great job with Crisis Core, although it's gameplay was somewhat repetitive, even though the actual game was relatively short apart from Missions/Quests. Was that made by their current staff, or the ones that went to Capcom? I would be happy enough to see VII treated similarly, though a bit more refined. Besides, ever since VII, Square has always released games with some of the greatest graphics, so, again, it feels like graphics should be no problem. XIII and DC seemed to have both suffered sales because of linear/simple gameplay and possibly poor characters, but were praised for their graphics. In another world, I could see Square Enix merging with Capcom to give us titles like Final Fantasy vs Capcom, and Final Fantasy: T-Virus Apocalypse. Don't you agree? I'm gonna go fry some fish, because now you've made me hungry. Some tender but crispy BBQ Salmon would be nice.
What is their Magnum Opus? I'm terrible at hoping; I have no faith. Hoping has never worked or have done me or anyone any good. I could say I was hoping I might have hope after these comments, but I don't want to disappoint myself further. I'd rather just assume that Final Fantasy VII HD is the game that we deserve, but not the game that we need.
OmegaPyron Sorry for replying 3 weeks later, but firstly to the last line, there is a HD version of FF7 for the pc. (do note that Hd and remade graphics are totally different!!). But the big difference between them doing KD 1.5 and X/X2 is that all they were doing was putting it in HD. FF7, for what you're wanting and everyone else would be wanting, they'd have to redo all the graphics from scratch. Yes they'd have it laid out on what they'd look like and everything, but they'd still have to redo all of it and then animate it. You'd then have to do all the voice acting, I'd assume that wouldn't take THAT long though. The world map would have to change in some way or it just wouldn't fit in a current day design. Is that it?
"Final Fantasy XVI is... released in Japan on December 17, 2017, and March 9, 2018 for North America and Europe - both of these the same as Final Fantasy XIII. A sequel titled Final Fantasy XVI-2 was announced on E3 2018. Further sequels including Final Fantasy XVI-3, Final Fantasy XVI-4, Final Fantasy XVI-5 and Final Fantasy Finis XVI have been released." -finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/User:Coolawits/Final_Fantasy_XVI Now, I'm not sure if this is a joke by "Coolawits" or legitimate news, and if it is legetimate... ARE THEY OUT OF THEIR MIND!?!?! Six different FFXVI games?? It would be a millenium until FFVII was remade, and unless FFXVI-FFXVI-6 >> FFVII in terms of EVERYTHING: . __ ' ? '===<>O'===' , . _ /\ _/\ _ . , ^ Pyron is not amused
DeAryian Pointer. Nope. Cloud was never ever a first class soldier. Never. He thought he was coz he had only woken up and his memories were blurry, and Zack had changed his Mako soaked clothes into a first class soldier'a uniform he had found in the Shinra Manor. And Zack is stronger than Cloud. He has always been. Cloud was not even part of soldier. He was only a simple infantryman. But becayse of his sword skills, people believed that he was indeed a first class soldier.
Based off facts Cloud is stronger. He wasnt orginally, like you said he only made infantry. But i guess getting soaked in mako and surviving caused him to equal or exceed 1st class powers. I love Zack, i think he was an awesome character and less moody or fucked up in the head than Cloud. But fact remains, Zack could never defeat Sephiroth, cloud has done it twice.
David Martin Well, I wouldn't use that to say he's stronger than Zack. I mean, don't get me wrong, AC Cloud or FF7 end game Cloud is indeed stronger than Zack yes, but Cloud has only beaten Sephiroth in a straight up fight once (maybe twice like you said if you count the battle at the center if the mind thing they did). I mean, Sephiroth has never really given it his all against Cloud alone. Cloud at the very least had 7 people to back him up to fight Sephiroth in FF7. Cloud got a sneak attack bonus, and instead of skewering Cloud when he had the chance, Cloud got pissed and tossed him into Mako (I'm going by the original). In terms of pure skill, Cloud has never bested him...at least that's what I think. Sorry, I know, old comment but...bleh!
Shaiye Gray What?! He never gave his all against Cloud? You call sending a comet across the universe to destroy your opponent not giving it your all? Pfff...
***** I'm talking about one on one fights. And I'm sure he didn't send that meteor JUST for Cloud.
Jenova Cells, that's why Cloud is strong!
My question is why is Zack weaker than Cloud ? I mean its like Cloud was born a soldier 1st class or something .
No.
No Zack is not weaker than Cloud, Cloud got Sephiroth by a surprise. But he is special in some way, or at least his rage is. If Cloud is really pissed off, he is the most dangerous creature on the planet. Sephiroth learned that about 3 times now.
LongLive TrueFreedom That means that yes, cloud is stronger then zack and zack is weaker then cloud.
Reinstalt moska Well Cloud eventually gained more experience, skill and power than Zack ever had, but as they were right there? No. Cloud was not stronger. He was lucky to get Sephiroth off guard, and there is something special about his determination and rage, but he is not stronger. Dude it's not dragonball or some random anime, people do not win fights because they have higher power levels here, it's more realistic then that. They win because of many different circumstances and plot devices. Zack at this point is a fully tained, deadly mutant soldier with superhuman strength and reflexes, and Cloud is just a 16 year old guy. There is a clear difference right there. And that's how it's supposed to be. It should be a lesson that you can do great things without necessairly being more powerful and greater then the evil you face. Good, encouraging lesson.
He is stronger, this is not dragonball or some random anime,people win fights because are stronger and more skilled. hence why he was stronger here and even more stronger after. Hence why zack couldnt defeat cloud in his wildest dreams. Cloud is stronger, got faster reflexes and more skill than him.
Zack is such a badass!
no he is just stupid bitch
Eriksigal Raven In Soviet Russia, Bitch is you!
Are the SOLDIER pants really leather? Did he cut three dudes into oblivion?
do you want final fantasy play number 7
The writing here is terrible... everything here is terrible... Well that's anime. People can complain about Crisis Core all they want, but at least Sephiroth didn't just up and decide to jump inside the fucking mako reactor after muttering something about the promised land.
If you played the game it would make more sense. The mako reactors plug into the "lifestream" Which is the source of all magic and life force on the planet. Sephiroth jumped(well, ok, in the game he was thrown in, but the end result was the same) in to merge with the lifestream so that he could corrupt the planet and take it over. The black materia gives him control over gravity, so he could use the entire planet as a vessel to travel from planet to planet throughout the cosmos, stealing all of the life energy and becoming a god incarnate. There's a lot more to the story in addition to that, but this is the gist of it.
Ankoku15 I did play the game. Everything gets reabsorbed into the lifestream. That's why it's the lifestream. I think there was a little bit more to his plan than just jumping into the aqua colored goo. If it were really that simple, then Sephiroth's plan still wouldn't work. He would have to contend with all the other "souls" in the lifestream. I don't remember everything well though.
JCDBionicman Ah, well he is a Cetra, remember? They have power over the lifestream and can preserve their consciousness in it like Aerith did. Sephiroth stole Jenova's head to merge with the cells because it gave him enough power to make that plan work. Jenova was the most powerful of the Cetra and it was her plan originally to take over the planet and merge with its life force.
Ankoku15 no, Jenova is not a Cetra, it was an alien that came from a distant planet that brought calamity to the planet, so the ancients/ Cetra battled it and sealed it away until it was discovered by scientists.
***** Cloud experienced it, so he knows, unless he was Mako poisoned and got his memories all messed up again. Hey Cloud, when is FFVII-2 coming out?? At least tell us when FFVII HD is coming out, or when you and Sephiroth are going to appear in Kingdom Hearts 3. I must know. Don't tell me you got it all mixed up again...
it's epic
square didnt get bought out they merged
Anyone else thinks sephy needs a head check?
sephy? suddenly he seems much less threatening
no - its zack need it
+iceluvndiva21 Well he believes in a taking his mummy (which, for the record is a manipulative alien parasite living in a jar) to the magical land that will make him a god by crashing a planet sized meteor into the earth.... Naaaaaaaah perfectly sane.
they should make a final fantasy 7 long ongoing anime, starting from crisis core to ff7 ending. I see so much potential!
and Final Fantasy VII: Dirge Of Cerberus
wingscancer have every one back story in there
yeah!
This is what boggles me so much almost every time. The Advent Children story had so much potential too, its just that the way it was told was.... forget it.
TheAlijanify fuckyou
I want an open-world Version 2015 for ps4. But I think the cash-cow ff7 is finally dead. 😢
Far from it. Still making money.
Cash cow? Lol, none of the entries in the Compilation of VII have been cash grabs, and even Dirge wasn't supposed to a FFVII game in the first place.
***** I do, and probably more than you. Final fantasy is a huge franchise, of course there is going to be merchandise, but there's really nothing that would constitute as "milking" it.
Well, I got into the FFVII franchise only 3 years ago, and I have become a huge fan! I would love to buy all of the merchandise and the games! So I do believe that they still can make money from the FFVII franchise, seeing as the some of the newer generations also discovers it! Anyway, have a great day/morning/evening/night!
@Gabriel Anderson, that is so true and I say it all the friggin time. Squaresoft was better as Squaresoft, then again that was the Golden Era of RPG's.
What next?
