This video was fucking brilliant! I love how you even had the audio from the cutscenes in with the music. It added an amazing emphasis to the song, ESPECIALLY during 2:47. Easily my favorite part of this music video. Good work, my friend. Good work.
I just beat it yesterday. Working on intergrade dlc. I haven't played the original or know anything about original 7. But this just might be my favorite game ever story wise. And top 5 gameplay wise. I'm so excited to play crisis core reunion after intergrade and then rebirth
Its a nice song and seeing the lyrics i can see why this is a song representing Cloud. I played the original so i know these characters, and i love all of them including Cloud.
I think the amazing thing about this, is that it could be about all of it. Cloud, Tifa , Aerith, Zack, even Barret. For that reason I dont believe it is about them specifically but about the story that is Final Fantasy VII.
@@Liquid_Luigi he just said it reflects cloud's feelings. i think it's clear it's about the survivor's guilt he feels. i think it could be about aerith and zack, but i really see it being about more so zack as visions of him always appeared when we was struggling and how he is his living legacy. cloud literally wouldn't be anything if it wasn't for zack. but i could also see it being about all his friends. the first part zack, second part aerith, last tifa etc
@@notoriousalien I'm sorry but if you read the lyrics to the song and think its for Zack then you have been misguided... There's a reason this song only plays in sector 5 and its because the song is 100 percent about Aerith.
All the comments about this supporting CloudxTifa or CloudxAerith..... I've always had a sneaking suspicion this song is actually about Cloud and Zack. Not romantically, of course.... but Cloud's suppressed, unconscious guilt over past events.
@Aaron9 whoa, looks like I struck a nerve! How dare I have an opinion that I am definitely sticking to! The subconscious influence Zack had on Cloud is huge throughout the entire game, which is evident in the entire plot of the original FFVII.
@@sinistersaint Even though I don't really agree with the statement, I respect ur opinion. However, Aaron has shown that's it's impossible nowadays to share opinions and thoughts without backlash. Interesting take though!
The Zack/Cloud shippers will love this comment haha I'm an Aerith person, so I'd think this is relating to her and her position as a healer, but it could also fit Zack. How he supported Cloud, how Cloud feels guilty about what became of him... Pretty plausible.
We all know what is going to happen in Part II ... And we all know that neither of us is prepared to witness it. My heart cries just thinking about it ...
@@saw31489I think it will happen just not the way we are expecting My guess is that we will get to the scene and avoid Sephiroth killing Aerith. However I believe that Sephiroths ability to control cloud is going to be MUCH stronger then in the orginal and rather then Sephiroth killing her, Cloud controlled by Sephiroth will kill Aerith Just a hunch but playing the remake I noticed that scenes were in the orginal Zacks consciousness or persona that was guiding cloud. For instance when he first landed unconscious in Aeriths church Those scenes now have been deliberately changed where it is overtly sephiroth talking to Cloud. There were multiple instances where Cloud had to be stopped from outright executing people (Tifa stopped cloud from killing Johnny and The whispers directly had to intervene to stop him from killing Reno) I think whatever Sephiroth has done, had diminished the effect Zacks imprint has on cloud leaving him more susceptible to him And let’s be honest, the only thing that Sephiroth would enjoy more then the torment of killing Aerith in front of Cloud……is forcing Cloud to kill Aerith
So many ungrateful people in the comments... Smh. Thank you for this beautiful edit. The clips go so well with the song! And it doesn't matter who the song is about. It's good to have a variety of interpretations applied to different characters. I love to see one centered on Tifa and Cloud.
@@Pi_jaeger ah... Not bad... but Cloud want to Aerith in Games. and Do you know about Aerith and Cloud dating events? FF7 OG continue to ACC. Cloud is single.
heya can i ask this here? recently played, not yet finished and i was wondering why do Cloud getting visions of Tifa's past? Was he there all along? was he some kind of a whisper who died under Zack(alive) timeline? Is Cloud Conscious memory travels with Tifa(like protecting her) during the times Cloud himself was down cuz of Mako Poisoning?
Play the original FF7. Remake is a reinterpretation which is already going in a very different direction from the original. FF7R and it's second and third parts aren't remakes despite the title. Your questions are answered in OG FF7.
@@PEWPlays If you have any modern platform, the original FF7 should be on it for $20USD or less, it goes on sale often. A pretty good version of the game is available om Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Playstation.
@@seventwarior They both deserve it. Aerith never had any good friend in her life. Everyone was being rude or scared because of her being half cetra. That's why she cared so much about Zack. He was kind towards her but he always prioritized his job as SOLDIER over her. She was being so lonely that even turks became uhhh idk how to explain this. Also we don't count children from the sector because they were nice towards her, yeah I couldn't say anything about "great friendship beetwen them and Aerith". After getting out of the church because of Reno, she thought he could be her friend, especially knowing that he didn't ask for money and accepted being a bodyguard for a date. She instantly started to befriend him in many ways including even talking about herself (she doesn't like to talk about herself so this is meaningful). She also wants to spent as much time with him as she can. Idk what else to say, anyways she was always lonely. Her best friend was Elmyra. Cloud is also a loner. He wants to have friends but everyone distances themselfs from him. For example, Tifa never let him join her group of friends. He was treated like an outcast. His mental status is horrible because he has no friends, no one likes him and everyone blames him for accident with Tifa (she fell of the mountain and everyone says it was his fault). He decides to leave Nibleheim and makes his famous promise to Tifa. He's a grunt when Zack events are happening, blah blah blah (Zack was also his first friend). He feels ashamed that he didn't manage to complete his promise so he's wearing his helmet. He completed the strenght test and failed a mentality one. Then Zack dies, and his mind becomes a vegetable. Anyways, his mental status sucked and his only friend died. Cloud meets Aerith. He enjoys spending time with her, mostly because she doesn't push him away (everyone, even Tifa are pushing him away at some point) and instead, she tries her best to stay close with him. Eventually, they both develop feelings towards each other. Conclusion: Cloud's past is as same as Aerith's if not even worser lol. His mental status is trash and he doesn't even know how to communicate well with others. King of conclusions or conclusion of conclusions, idk: They both deserve each other.
@@walteranurantha5014yeah and i dont understand why pepole say its about aerith. The song litterily describe both three a mean i know who this song is about actully. But c’mon
Cloud knew aerith for a few months, def not that deep about her XD... only thing that was given to Yosh for info about what the lyrics HAD to be about was Cloud and being in the rain.. thats all the creator wanted.
@@v.crowley Cause the creator wanted the song to be about Cloud and Aerith lol. Look if you prefer Tifa that's cool, right on! I have no problem with that.
@@v.crowley Well... I personally think this song is about Aerith, if you played the original game you can see some relations with what the lyrics say and what Cloud said about Aerith.

@@Ragdangvu Have you been paying attention to the lyrics? 😭 It’s about Cloud’s feelings of Aerith I don’t mind you making a Cloud and Tifa edit, ship whoever you want with whatever song But not Clerith’s song It just doesn’t work:’)

The reality is that Nobuo Uetmatsu is an absolute genius artist and this song is his love letter to one of the titles he will be remembered for for hundreds of years.
It's really about everyone around him that died. Remember it all started with sephiroph killing his mom and mist his town. Don't think it's on a certain level. It's all of them.
@@deantheyter9858 I really do not see emphasis being put on his mom and especially not the greater town in any way here. Otherwise I agree. Cloud was an outcast in his town for the most part. He didn't wish ill on them but they are inspiring him in his deepest darkest moments...
