Thats the only thing i was okay with at the end... he didnt deserve his death.... and him and Aerith belong together. I just dont know if i can get past his new voice actor lol i want the origional english voice of zack from CC
Feels .... Crisis Core End is Brutal for both Zack and Aerith's Feelings..... I hope the sequel of this remake will show Zack back.... And Cissnei shows.....
Nomura doesn't have any credit for any part of the story. Nojima (Lead writer on the original) has main credit as writer... and the person effectively serving as creative director for the story is Motomu Toriyama, who served the same role on Final Fantasy 10 and 13. So you should take those as your metric to set your expectations for where the story will go. Nomura has story credit on the original PS1 game, only... and on this is serving as project director and concept designer. If you look at the credits for Kingdom Hearts, Nomura has full credit for the story, not just director.
To an extent...this has just as much feel for Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross - a series that had some early plans linked with the original FF7 in the planning stages, IIRC
If Barry Allens ripple makes us have Aerith survive through the entirety of the remake series then im all for it. Its the one thing that damn speeder did right :P
@@KamikazeeGecko I think her gloves are seen next to Biggs in the ending. Also we didn't see Wedge die, we just heard glass breaking, and I guess they're gonna explain that he landed on the roof of the elevator that the big robot tank was in, since it came down later than the elevator that Barrett was in.
When aerith said she missed the steal sky at the end of the remake I teared up because at the end of crisis core Zack said that girl said the sky frightened her.
It is because she knows that zack dies in open sky and not below midgard. Poor girl... square enix destroyed here mentally, lovelly and physically. They don't like her character at all haha
I will not call this a "remake". Remakes is what REmake is to Resident Evil or SoTC ps4 is to SoTC ps2. For the first 95% of FF7R, it was a remake but then the last 5% turned it into a reimagining.
@@dexterjosefamata2398 That seems more accurate in this case. Much like with the Star Trek reboot. Rather than tossing out the original continuity, it created a divergent timeline within the actual narrative.
In an alternate universe, Zack survived... remember when he suggested that he and Cloud should become mercenaries when they get back to Midgar? They would have still met Avalanche. Interesting. Fate.
DUDE FUNNY ENOUGH I WAS LIKE, "Is the Sephiroth that warned Remix's Sephiroth from the KH2 game because both Cloud and Sephiroth disappear without any explanation."
Because there seems to be a connection between the Whispers and Aerith, she seems to have knowledge of the original Final Fantasy VII timeline, like how she knew Cloud Strife was a mercenary, but she hid this knowledge by saying she guessed from his weapon. She also knew Marlene's name without Tifa telling her, and warns Cloud from falling in love with her because it would only cause him pain.
she warns cloud to not fall in love because she knows cloud has mixed memories from Zack, and those feelings would be Zacks feelings . She know that this Cloud is not really Cloud
And in the end when Jenova and Cait Sith get married and Sephiroth is a dentist and Cid is a psychotherapist, the image fades away and it's revealed that it was all just a baby chocobo's fever dream. Whew!
I'm also glad it's like wayyyy different, because it was never gonna be the same anyway :) Just fun to make jokes of, because "Remake" does imply quite the similarity, if not duplication even. Maybe it's tied down later in the coming releases, like "Remake" instead of "Reunion" or something like that. Who knows. Baby chocobo's fever dream remains my choice.
Kadaj, Yazoo and Loz. Yeah thas what Im thinking. And in the ending on ffvii crisis core, they took the director of soldier(who has become angeal's appearance because of the virus) and genesis.
@@alessandrevonalix5098 that wasn't actually those three! I thought it may have been as well, but looking into it, those two are actually antagonists from Dirge of Cerberus - Nero and Weiss.
It kind of makes sense now. There is one part in FFVII Remake where Aerith warns Cloud not to fall in love with her, which doesn't seem to make sense on the surface, but it kind of implied that she _knew_ that she was going to die due to the Whispers sealing her fate. With the Whispers now defeated, anything is possible now and Aerith could stay alive.
the whispers are trying their best to ensure the time line goes as planned. It's why they saved aerith from falling over in the church as she was supposed to fall when walking across the beams. Jessie was never supposed to be in the mission with barret and tifa, so they purposely injured her so Cloud had to take her place. this is happening constantly throughout the game (since Cloud never visited the avalanche headquarters via the game machine, it probably isn't the same timeline as the 1997 original) it's going to go Kingdom Hearts bonkers at this rate.
As someone who always thought FF7’s story was “aight” I’m here for it, as long as they keep the character writing solid I don’t care what happens to the story
I have a question though. Why didn't whispers ensure that Avalanche members die during Sector 7 collapse like it was in the original? Why did Wedge survive? Why did Biggs?
Wasn't he just quoting Sephiroth? The game hints that Cloud's 'visions' are both flashbacks and glimpses of the future, so that vision was Cloud seeing Sephiroth take Jenova out of containment.
@@aviatorcap He called Jenova mother because he himself has Jenova cells within him, just like Sephiroth. The reason Sephiroth can get into clouds head is because of their shared Jenova cells. Look up Jenova reunion theory
My ex-wife named one of her twins Aeris after the character. I’m like “why would you name one of our daughter’s little sisters after the character that DIES?”
Zack in the main timeline is still dead. The Zack that Aerith caught a glimpse of was a Zack that survived the fight against the Shinra soldiers in another timeline.
Unlike many people, I loved this ending, and I think an episode 1 ending in a game that was meant to be episodic needs to make the player ask questions about what the future may hold.
its more going to have the effect of when is square going to actually release part 2 or are they just going to make the happy ending a book like they did with ff15
FF XIII: I'm the most controversial SE game EVER! FFXV: Hold my non-alcoholic beer. KH3: I'mma let you finish, but... FFVIIR: Move aside, you amateurs.
When different versions of characters from different timelines start meeting or merging with each other, youve got a real Kingdom Hearts level clusterfuck going on
@@domx7zero157 Zack is dead in the main timeline that you are in (controlling Cloud). But that Zack is a different timeline. You saw the whispers all over during Zack's fight, implying the whispers are changing history.
@Bboy Genetics the Whisperers are not changing history they are meant to keep history in check. And plus Zack didn’t notice the Whisperers because he never encountered Aerith around that time when was with Cloud. The OG Zack did actually defeat the army but was than gun down by a remaining few from behind. And remember this game is also something new to people who have never played the original. In the original we don’t learn about Zack’s death until Cloud gets his memories back. If they showed Zack’s death right than and there it would be even more confusing.
2023: Final Fantasy VII Dead Strife 2027: Final Fantasy VII Holy Future They are no longer remakes, and have a completely new story (Dead Strife ends at the City of the Ancients, but Cloud dies instead of Aerith)
Get ready for: FF VII Chain of Lifestream FF VII Death Dawn Different 3D FF VII 777/20 Years FF VII Burn by Sephiroth FF VII Back to The Future FF VII End Game
Now including Crossovers featuring fellow Final fantasy characters from other parts of the series, Disney characters, and Kingdom hearts characters, all in one!
Theory and hope: the sequels will have choices and multiple endings. Meaning you can play canon events or new events i.e. prevent certain characters' fate. That's an idea that please fans that want the original storyline and those that want something new.
I agree, I think if they make it so you could still go down the original story for the sake of canon fans, that would be the best way to appeal to the widest audience honestly.
I think Aerith hesitated to fight destiny before she met cloud as she thought that she won't be able to make any difference. Now, realizing that Sephiroth is wrong - which ahe says in the game - She is fighting fate along with others instead of sitting this one out. And maybe they're fights with destiny will change Zack's destiny too...
@@domx7zero157 Advent Children was Sephiroth trying to revive himself with the trio but failing once again, thus he sends them to the present as bosses for Cloud and the gang to fight to motivate them even more to destroy the whispers. It worked and now Sephiroth is free to change the timeline to one where he wins with his knowledge of the future of the timeline in the original game plus advent children.
@@islandboy9381 or they could have been pulled from the future of a point to where the future was still certain to ensure that the events of this game stay on course that the story is going the way fate says it should if I understand any of this correctly and am only really assuming
The reason why Aerith says that (especially right after sensing Zack from a different timelime passing by) is because it started raining, reminding her of the day that zack died. Rain never hits the slums other than the hole in the church that zack made with his fall.
To me this reshaped my understanding of the role Aerith plays. In a sense I assumed the whispers to be a sad incarnation of fans of the original. Aerith however shows us a love and care of the past that lives in the writers room. She misses the past, even while it held a terrible opressive technology. Even while and the new world is so much more open, free, and colorful. She looks at Cloud and sees someone from her past. Much like I do. In a way, it comforts me to see that this love for the original lives while creating the remake, and is honored by being incarnated in such an iconic chracter.
What they leave out is all the hints that Aerith is also aware that the timeline of events is changing. There are multiple points where she knows exactly what's about to happen, and is thrown off and surprised when something does not go as destiny was shown to her.
My wife, having no idea about the game, saw "Seven seconds until the end" and said "FF7-2 until the end? There IS an FF7-2?". I was about to correct her, but then realised she might be technically correct.
Wade Williams yes. It creates at least one timeline where Cloud does not think that he’s a SOLDIER, is not Zack’s “living legacy”, is not found by Tifa at the train station, does not join Avalanche, does not meet Aerith who never uses Holy to defeat Meteor. Cloud is the only person who has the strength to defeat Sephiroth because of the experiments that Hojo performed on him AND his guilt over Zack. He has a level of inner strength and willpower that someone like Zack does not have. This is at least one universe in which Sephiroth wins. So the final part of the Remake will most likely be of Cloud and Co. going backwards to ensure that the original timeline is kept intact and that both Zack and Aerith die.
@@EatTheMarxists Yeah... but honestly I'm glad I get to play as zack again for a little while. I honestly think Square Enix did this to give us a chance to play as zack in the second episode... in the end though... zack will die or realize he has to die. Which will be the sad part of the next episode.
" 7 seconds " refers to the exact time that took Sephiroth to kill Aerith in the original FF7. The second he appears on the screen until the last exact second when his sword periced Aerith.
But there’s nothing Cloud could do about that. Makes more sense if he was referring to the reactions that could be made within the time period, if he knew what to look for, to save the girl. Is just a hint for something that can be altered, not impending doom.
Aerith was actively trying to stop the black material when she died. It makes zero sense for Sephiroth to encourage Cloud to _prevent_ that. Just because the drop took around seven seconds does NOT mean that’s what he’s referring to. (Edit: it’s not even seconds seconds btw. From when he appears to when he stabs hers is 6 seconds).
They’re not fighting their future selves, they are fighting the future advent children and the 7 seconds, it tells you in game in the story menu, sephiroth shows cloud 7 seconds before the end of the world.
They allowed Biggs to survive despite a thousand tons of steel falling on his head. Makes me worried any character with a name is going to get kH3 level plot armour. Also, I’m bummed we probably won’t get to see Cloud drooling in a wheelchair.
It will happen because funny / memorable/ interesting things from the original will be kept. This is a clever way for Square-Enix to give fans the things they want, while also surprising them with new stuff. The only problem is the newcomers to the FF7 universe : those poor people won't understand a thing. But then it's doubly clever from Square-Enix because they think these poor souls will just buy the original game on the PSN just to make sense of all this crap. Hence more money to them.
I believe we will, until they announce something else. I imagine the future games will follow the same story beats and key locations of FF7 like Costa Del Sol, Cosmo Canyon, etc. but 1 or 2 things maybe changed up. Whether they're big or small I can't really say until the next game is released, Aerith may not die or someone else may take her place. It's hard to say what but I'm a little excited to succeed.
It's too soon for me to make a call on how I will feel about this remake as a whole. I wish Nomura would quit making convoluted stories in an effort to seem "deep" and keep his KH insertions out of everything he touches. That being said, other original creators involved with FF7 are on this project as well, so knowing that, I am hoping future installments will flush things out more to bring it all together. The original was confusing at first too, but tied things in nicely in the end. So I have hope for that here as well.
@James Tyler Aerith literally has to die in order for the white Materia to work Nomura is not going to take that away. This time travel nonsense is just a theory it has been confirmed.
The whole "7 seconds" this is pretty much Nomura in a nutshell... About "other FF7 creators in the proyect", Kitase is only producing, and Sakaguchi left Square a looooooooong time ago, this is Nomura and Nojima proyect.
@@jahhun676 It is confirmed in the very game, the game takes place after Advent Children...you need Nomura to literally tell you "yes, that was Sephiroth from the future"? Aerith wont die, we have absolute no idea how the story is going to play out, Aerith herself says they are not free from their destinies.
@Jose 84 So you trust a theory from IGN (who have been wrong before) than the words of the people who actually made the game? Plus this is just the first part so there is only two ways we get all get the answer we’re looking for. Either the directors respond to this in an interview or we just wait for the other parts and play to see where the plot plays out. I wouldn’t give all my money to IGN and say they are right.
At 3:50 I don’t think those three whispers are Cloud, Tifa, and Barret. They reminded me of Kadaj, loz, and yazoo because their weapons are similar to them, and they also summon Bahamut like in Advent Children.
@@DancePuDDing Zack was still in Ff7, FF7 crisis core, FF7 before crisis and kingdom hearts birth by sleep bro wtf u saw him in final fantasy 7 last order and he had a little ending in Ff7 Advent children
@@DancePuDDing Crisis Core is a prequel, and if you really love FF VII, why wont you pick a game which is a prequel to that old game you love?? Yeah, what you are saying doesnt make sense
@Zalap Akashi Well, as a fan of the original game, I surely played Crisis Core or know who Zack is, but yeah, I guess there are those that played the original game and didnt care about anything else.
Raynaldo Djajasaputra no I don’t think she will I personally believe the Zack scene where he survived was a what if the whispers hadn’t forced his destiny to die a what if if you will. Just because we see Zack alive at the end doesn’t mean he is alive in the main timeline we are playing. I think I’m the next few games the main timeline will mostly follow the original story like aerith dying BUT I believe we will see an alternate scene in a timeline where she survives
Introducing multiple timelines was a great idea. It gives the word "Remake" a whole new meaning than what it is. Let's just say the current FFVIIR timeline is where it truly begins.
@@ry2950 It's not a reboot. The events of ff7 take place. Some are changed and some are the same while others expand. That makes it a remake since events have been remade in places. If you know more of the spoilers, it shows why it's a remake. A reboot for example is the new Digimon. Starts off differently, the first major enemy is way different from the original anime and everything else to come will be different from what I've seen.
What was wrong with the original ending? Other than what they've done with Dirge of Cerberus or the animated movie it ended very well and didnt really require answers.
@@feartheoldblood I think the point Scire was trying to make is that in the game the whispers are trying to ensure the events of the original game and the joke being that the fans who wanted to see the original ending even after death are having to fight the current group of characters who want to go off rails.
Personally, realistically I would assume this new ending would be like a promotion for a crisis core remake, where the developers would provide us with 2 new endings.
I have a question and that is if those three whispers in the boss fight were the future version of cloud, Tifa and barret then whose fate did the huge whisper ressmeble was it aeriths fate.....?
I gotta say, in the beginning, I was so upset with the ending after having loved the game so much till then. But now, having watched a lot of content and heard numerous theories, I gotta say I am looking forward to what is coming next! I hope they'll handle it well and carefully, as I am not 100% sure yet. But still looking forward to it, and probably gonna replay the game multiple times in the meantime...
ff7 remake...one of those games that took my focus off from my own life for 2days straight...no sleep at all...exhausting...but super enjoyable ....one of the best games in 5years...so much flashbacks to my childhood and so much more new story...that it even made me giggle a lot while playing.(still hoping that Aeriths fate is the same so we can have another nostalgic moment)
The 3 whispers at the end of the game are not Barrent Tifa and Cloud, its Kadaj Loz and Yazoo, The red one has a sword that is not large like clouds its thin like the sword Kadaj uses, Yazoo has his duel pistols, and Loz has a giant glove similar to the weapon he uses in advent children. Their attacks are very similar to the attacks they use in Advent Children as well. Edit: Yazoo did not have duel pistols sry it was a pistol with two barrels Edit 2: I should have phrased this better they don't "seem" to be Barrent CLoud and Tifa myb
When i watch the part where cloud fighting those three remnants in advent children well yeah it is them as whispers so this remake when they had to fight those three it means after defeat them they don't have to fight those remnants in the future they changed that future to different one when everyone is alive but idk where is wedge tho after he flew from the building is he the only one died? (yazoo he is using duel guns in Advent Children)
For plot considerations theyre just whispers... But theyre definitely a nod to kadaj gang. Even their colors reflect the "element" they possessed in an extra episode/game somwhere.
zack's apperance was a flashback aerith saw and zack is going to die, they didnt show it cause its a massive spoiler, it's only a tease to create some mystery. "Who's that guy?! I gotta play the next one to understand!" The whispers do give some glances into future events (without context to not spoil for new players). Was it necessary? no. Does it mean we're gonna get multiple timelines and time travel and zack is alive? absolutely not, this is all speculation by some dumbass at IGN.
Well. The story has definitely changed from the original. I’m a bit skeptical about it, but I’m gonna keep an open mind about it and see what part 2 is gonna be like. Though I do hope they don’t butcher this game like Kingdom Hearts with this time travel thing. The last thing I wanna do is fight a prototype of Nomura’s failed Versus 13 Noctis as a final Boss.
One question. The whispers seemed to work fine until the harbinger was beaten. I mean they managed to revive Barret. But doesn't that also mean that the whispers should have killed Wedge and Biggs?
Because the Whispers were defeated, Wedge, Biggs and even Jessie all survive. Maybe they revived them, given in to the new Destiny's rulers upon defrat, or maybe fate itself was changed and they all survived.
Whispers working fine? They're supposed to keep the story on track, but appears when not needed and don't when they should. Nah... Whispers are lame af. Bad writing that uses ghosts as a deus ex machina for the changes they brought is lame.
Time travel always ends up making a story convoluted and creates all sorts of paradoxes. Also, deaths and choices lose any depth of meaning because of their being no genuine consequence, e.g. major characters dies, but can come back due to time travel plot device. What bothered me was how Cloud and gang were practically powerful enough to take on Sephiroth like they did at the end of the original FF7. In the original, on the first encounter with Sephiroth, Cloud and gang are much weaker, and that made Sephiroth a threat you can genuinely appreciate.
You do know that sephiroth wasn't even trying in the final battle? SPOILERS He even says "not yet" to cloud and disarms him with ease as if to say you're not ready to fight me yet. Plus if I'm not mistaken this isn't the real sephiroth as it's a clone according to the original game, so it's already a weaker version of seph. I like that we have a fight with him already to show how strong he is and be excited for the true final battle. I'm just not a fan of the time travelling crap (if it is) and changing the fate of certain characters like biggs.
@@bungifish2227 I think that the way they show us sephiroth in the remake pales in comparison with the flashback in kalm from the original, i understand that many people already know who sephiroth is but the way he is introduced in the remake is very cheap in my opinion. I also think with all the exposure they gave him and also used the iconic 1 on 1 duel they had at the end of the original sephiroth will probably not be the final boss in the remake.
one example: zack being alive means cloud has no reason for believing being a soldier first class. this is a mess and next chapter will be destroyed by fans
@@bungifish2227 ehm the cargo ship that sail from junon harbor to Costa del sol, happen much later than Kalm flashback, it shows sephiroth for a split second.....maybe you confused Kalm with nibelheim?
The magic of the original FF7 is that the story is grounded in a believable and relatable world. The themes and political implications are tangible. And actions have consequences. Character deaths carry weight. These Whispers of Fate undo all that: if the Whispers are guiding the characters, then the characters' own actions lose substance. And all this nonsensical implication about alternate timelines is just sickening and bad writing.
Andres Hernandez if you ask me my interpritation was : those ghosts are just a part of the earth .. and it wants everything to go as planned for example when they saved her from falling in the church scene . They stopped cloud , Aerith and Tifa from running away because they must face thier “planned” fate .. and I really hope that no changes happen to the story .. because I am afraid that an alternate ending would result in Aerith staying alive and sephiroth gets to kill someone else .. which would really bum me out
in the OG zack dies near midgar next to cloud while trying to fight 2-3 soldiers. it takes place after the crisis core fight. IGN didnt connect the dots and now they should get sued by square
@@domx7zero157 I'm not sure it's a flashback from the way the scene is represented, and the consensus is that he is alive in an alternate timeline. Not that he is alive in their time. And all the events in the old games, happens in a completely different timeline to the two mentioned. The one Sephiroth is trying to prevent from happening and the one the Whispers are trying to make happen. But because Cloud and the gang defeats the whispers, that timeline is totally gone, so anything from older games do not happen and we should expect new events. That's my take on it. Though honestly, this whole timeline nonsense is just silly sigh.
I think the point of all of this is giving us longterm fans and new fans something to look forward to and discuss without knowing what will occur. Of course a lot of people also feel this doesnt fit with the world we are in for ffvii. That being said, I think the purpose of all this is for the cast to try and change fate but realize the outcomes they need will only result if the deaths of those they care for come. It's a fancy way of just ended with the same outcomes I think.
I'm a newcomer to Final Fantasy, I just read the story of Final Fantasy 7 and Crisis Core before i play this game, so I'm very open to this changing with plot twist and mostly I'm glad that Aerith is still alive, although the future is uncertain (I was afraid to play the last chapter because of her death in original). I personally think this cliffhanger ending is brilliant and worth waiting for a sequel :D
Casey Teague kh3 ruined the whole series for me. I hope this doesn’t do that either even though I went into it with it being a remake I had a open mind about it. I figured it wouldn’t follow the sequences exact.
So all the sequels in this game has the time line that saves Zack, Aerith, Jessia, Biggs and who knows maybe Sephiroth comes to his senses and there''''s another boss at the final series ending? I've always wanted Sephiroth in my party to control him and move around as him even since I was 15 years old lol
But still... Genesis is still a mystery, the cliffhanger in Dirge of Cerberus. Genesis must have a role in the remake. If not, then Dirge of Cerberus is not canon lol.
I have a theory that FF7 Remake is actually a Sequel of FF7 OG, I’ll try to explain it as simple as I can. Remember the very first frame of FF7 OG opening right after the stars Scene?, it’s Aerith looking toward the leaking mako in a alleyway before proceeding to walk out into the Loveless street. This very short scene of Aerith looking towards the leaking mako is played again at the very end of the ending of FF7 OG. My theory is that Aerith at the very end of FF7 OG is the same Aerith from FF7 Remake, she went back in time through the lifestream, and in the Remake she’s trying to change the fate planned by the planet, thus why the appearance of the whisperers in the Remake. While she do that Sephiroth is also doing the same thing, he realizes he couldn’t beat cloud and change the future towards his liking, and thus why in the remake he plan to get Cloud into his side. Remember his Quote * I shall not end nor is shall let you end* during the fight at the floating wrecked buildings. At the end of creation Sephiroth tried to acquired Cloud alliance. Remember that the whisperer are beings that is capable of traveling through time and timelines and also interact with it if necessary. But they can’t really interact or disturb Sephiroth because of the Jenova cells that’s reside within him, basically the planet couldn’t really bother him because he’s not from the planet. Like Jenova. So the planet thought. Anyway that’s it from me, am kinda tired, it’s 8 AM here and I haven’t sleep.. I’m probably going to edit this comment as soon as i wake up. But let me know what you guys think.
I also got feeling that FF7 Remake is Sequel of FF7 OG. Reason FF7 OG Ending actually is a BAD END. Go check Og ending. You can see that Meteor going destroy the planet and Lifestream come out to stop the Meteor. Then result big light, which i presume explosion. The whole planet is destroy. Then suddenly show Aerith face which is a FF7 Remake intro. In this remake, Cloud and others are going to change the Bad end.
Christopher Gore I do, but with this, it might change the event that happened in Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus. If they decide to keep Aerith alive that is. If not, then what had happened in Ac and DoC might be left untouched.
@Kris Which, let's be honest: the game takes a HUGE dive in quality after the first trip to North Crater. LOL, my dumbass was thinking "man, how are they gonna end this game with Motorball?
It feels too self aware. Its plot actively aims to subvert the originals for no apparent reason, there was enough room for expanding the story in midgar without retconning the true story. Thats the problem, this feels like fan fiction...
Don't Judge before Playing. It's incredible. I liked the story even more than the original. The original story was kinda confusing and The remake did a Fantastic Job. People who played it can't even hate on it. It's amazing
@@nilimadebbarma7694 I did play it. Thats just my opinion on it, not that the original is flawless. But they could have cleaned it up and got rid of the 'confusion' without retconning the whole thing
Yeah, these new changes regarding fate will be super polarized. People will ether love them or hate them. Guess we will have to wait and see how far the writers go down Nomuras wild ride in the sequels.
Funny, cause I'm neither of those. And sure I can't be the only one. I don't really care. No real grudges against those potential changes, I would just like it better if the thing about destiny or something avoid involving time travel (poorly handled most of the time).
We won’t find out until the sequels (and I’m sure the current fan reception could still shape them). I really wanted a faithful remake to the original storyline, and all I can say is that this a very risky move. Hopefully they really do something creative with the story arc. If it ends up being a full on reboot that changes or goes beyond the original ending, I’ll be pretty bummed.
Zack is in another timeline to the remake. There are 3 playing out- Remake, Zack not dying, and Original. It actually gives me a bit of piece of mind to know the original still happened, just in another timeline.
Not only Zach, we also got Biggs who survived as well. He's shown waking up with his face bandaged, he didn't die. Wedge, it appears, was offed by the Whispers.
This seems really risky, like they want the best of both worlds having a reimagining of FF7 similar to a reboot, while also trying to be faithful to the same timeline/plot of the original. I hope it pays off and they have some great story arc we have yet to experience.
@Alopekis agreed. You don't want to show all your cards in the beginning, they're most likely setting up for something down the way as you've said. Definitely interested to see where this path leads
Those 3 whispers were Kedaj, Loz & Yazoo. Left-handed and single handed sword and the gun shape give it away as well as summoning Bahamut. The future timeline was Advent Children. You're welcome
Honestly it's pretty obvious they are doing this to keep Aerith alive, or at least, let her join Zack in a different world as opposed to reunite post-death in the Lifestream.
@@MrTouchem true but the FFVII remake is not the same as the 1997 Remake, the narrative has now changed, removing the death is a possibility at this point it seems
Aerith saying "I miss it. The steel sky." is very different from her line in Japanese, she evokes a very different emotional response: she says "The sky... I hate it." note An interview with Tetsuya Nomura in the Final Fantasy VII Remake Ultimania artbook explains that for Aerith, the (natural) sky is a symbol of sadness to her, as it is blocked out by the plate (ironically, the "steel sky"), both her mother and Zack died underneath the sky, and the Calamity From The Sky destroyed the Cetra. All this adds up to almost sounding like the complete opposite of her line in English or a line lost in translation.
A real shame that they change the meaning. The English translators need to stop doing this. I read manga and watch anime so i will often come across this. I hate it the most when they do this for a crucial line that has been built up for the whole manga or arc and it just does not make sense at the end.
That is interesting. HOWEVER. She only says that line when she’s feeling the rain on her hands. You don’t feel rain when under a steel sky. In that way it served as a protection. Aerith also compared a future without the spectres controlling destiny as “open and terrifying, like an open sky”. The spectres around was very much a sort of protection. I don’t believe Aerith was referring to literal sky. I believe she was referring to this new unpredictable future. By saying “the steel sky, I miss it” what she really means is she misses the protection that destiny provided. But without destiny, she’s as vulnerable to what happens as one is vulnerable to the rain under an open sky. To make a long story short, I don’t think we’re cheapened by having a different translation. In fact I think it gives us even MORE clues as to what she really means.
If you don't wanna get spoiled, then just don't play the video...? Title of the video is literally telling you that it will talk about the ending. It's not like video's thumbnail is showing anything, even preview play is not showing anything. All you have to do is just not click it. Do I also have to teach you how to put your pants on? dafuq?
I hear what you saying but i dont think that's the point. I mean with IGN what's the freakin rush? I mean goddamn give people a chance to play the damn thing. They be posting these videos DAYS before release.
A theary i herd about the 7seconds is that, that is the time it takes septhiroth from apering to stabbing aerith in that cutsean in the original, maby implying that there will be a choise to make hear for the player this time for whatever reason.
Am I the only one who likes the ending? Once I thought about it I'm glad they're shaking things up, I personally didnt want it to be exactly the same, the original is still perfectly fun to play and that story will never be gone. Its exciting that the future is unclear and people get to experience the game in a new way.
Well said sir I loved it and it opened the door for different possibilities for the story line anything goes! I loved it, I laugh at the people that expected the same game when it says remake
Couldn't agree more, especially when the title says Remake, not Remaster. Now the future parts of the game are free to go in any direction. Can't wait to see what happens next.
I like the changes but the rest of the story will go as it did in the OG, this "zack is alive/multiple timlines" has been deconfirmed (and never made any sense)
@@domx7zero157 where was it deconfirmed? While I personally think it'll largely follow the original they'll have to change something in order for the ending to mean anything. Why would they put in the effort of putting in meta commentary if they aren't going to follow through with it?
@@mckennaa3641 Personally I never thought there was multiple timelines, Sephiroth is trying to defy fate. Before realizing they make you think the whispers are against you. I think this was all done to mess with our heads a little. And honestly, what meaning is there other than 1. Sehphiroth is badass 2. we're leaving midgar 3. there's a misterious character with black hair and the buster sword (I know who he is this is just the POV of a new player)
7 seconds means we have 7 years left until part 2's release.
7 seconds is the time it takes for Sephiroth to drop and kill Aerith in the original game.

@loafhero also written by Nojima who wrote original. Kinda makes sense though since Sephiroth is part of lifestream/gaia
Nomura doesn't have any credit for any part of the story. Nojima (Lead writer on the original) has main credit as writer... and the person effectively serving as creative director for the story is Motomu Toriyama, who served the same role on Final Fantasy 10 and 13. So you should take those as your metric to set your expectations for where the story will go. Nomura has story credit on the original PS1 game, only... and on this is serving as project director and concept designer. If you look at the credits for Kingdom Hearts, Nomura has full credit for the story, not just director.
To an extent...this has just as much feel for Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross - a series that had some early plans linked with the original FF7 in the planning stages, IIRC
Don't blame Square Enix, this is entirely Barry Allen fault for trying to save his mother.
Yes! I was feeling the Time Wraith vibe.
Well, Sephiroth's new VA is Arrowverse Superman.
I can feel you not getting credit for that, right now

Let's us all wish a happy ending in continuation of this remake... Like... I'd had enough sadness with all the deaths in Final Fantasy series 😅
When aerith said she missed the steal sky at the end of the remake I teared up because at the end of crisis core Zack said that girl said the sky frightened her.
I actually missed that reference :(
She says in Japanese "The sky. I hate it". The translation went loose on the meaning for some reason.
its STEEL not STEAL
It is because she knows that zack dies in open sky and not below midgard. Poor girl... square enix destroyed here mentally, lovelly and physically. They don't like her character at all haha
The plot ghosts should heal me when I get one shot by a boss attack while trying to cast a magnified curaga. That wasn't destiny's plan

When you realize "Remake" has a deeper meaning and not just a title to bring this treasure to present play.
I will not call this a "remake". Remakes is what REmake is to Resident Evil or SoTC ps4 is to SoTC ps2. For the first 95% of FF7R, it was a remake but then the last 5% turned it into a reimagining.
I prefer calling this a REBOOT rather than a Remake.

hold my green hat dog
Because there seems to be a connection between the Whispers and Aerith, she seems to have knowledge of the original Final Fantasy VII timeline, like how she knew Cloud Strife was a mercenary, but she hid this knowledge by saying she guessed from his weapon. She also knew Marlene's name without Tifa telling her, and warns Cloud from falling in love with her because it would only cause him pain.
She did all of this in the original game
she warns cloud to not fall in love because she knows cloud has mixed memories from Zack, and those feelings would be Zacks feelings . She know that this Cloud is not really Cloud

gotta love how everyone holds the truth on youtube. never "this might be" or "I think that", always 100% correct am I right?
@@barraoconnor9815 It's confirmed officially that it's Kadaj / Yazoo / Loz, surely from the OG Timeline
It kind of makes sense now. There is one part in FFVII Remake where Aerith warns Cloud not to fall in love with her, which doesn't seem to make sense on the surface, but it kind of implied that she _knew_ that she was going to die due to the Whispers sealing her fate. With the Whispers now defeated, anything is possible now and Aerith could stay alive.
the whispers are trying their best to ensure the time line goes as planned. It's why they saved aerith from falling over in the church as she was supposed to fall when walking across the beams. Jessie was never supposed to be in the mission with barret and tifa, so they purposely injured her so Cloud had to take her place. this is happening constantly throughout the game (since Cloud never visited the avalanche headquarters via the game machine, it probably isn't the same timeline as the 1997 original)
it's going to go Kingdom Hearts bonkers at this rate.
As someone who always thought FF7’s story was “aight” I’m here for it, as long as they keep the character writing solid I don’t care what happens to the story
I have a question though. Why didn't whispers ensure that Avalanche members die during Sector 7 collapse like it was in the original? Why did Wedge survive? Why did Biggs?
Dr. Adamsen the same reason Zack survived, time travel/alt worlds is weird and nonsensical

@Bboy Genetics the Whisperers are not changing history they are meant to keep history in check. And plus Zack didn’t notice the Whisperers because he never encountered Aerith around that time when was with Cloud. The OG Zack did actually defeat the army but was than gun down by a remaining few from behind. And remember this game is also something new to people who have never played the original. In the original we don’t learn about Zack’s death until Cloud gets his memories back. If they showed Zack’s death right than and there it would be even more confusing.

Theory and hope: the sequels will have choices and multiple endings. Meaning you can play canon events or new events i.e. prevent certain characters' fate. That's an idea that please fans that want the original storyline and those that want something new.
I agree, I think if they make it so you could still go down the original story for the sake of canon fans, that would be the best way to appeal to the widest audience honestly.
That actually would be awesome, like those Telltale's games :)
I think Aerith hesitated to fight destiny before she met cloud as she thought that she won't be able to make any difference. Now, realizing that Sephiroth is wrong - which ahe says in the game - She is fighting fate along with others instead of sitting this one out. And maybe they're fights with destiny will change Zack's destiny too...

To me this reshaped my understanding of the role Aerith plays. In a sense I assumed the whispers to be a sad incarnation of fans of the original. Aerith however shows us a love and care of the past that lives in the writers room. She misses the past, even while it held a terrible opressive technology. Even while and the new world is so much more open, free, and colorful. She looks at Cloud and sees someone from her past. Much like I do. In a way, it comforts me to see that this love for the original lives while creating the remake, and is honored by being incarnated in such an iconic chracter.
What they leave out is all the hints that Aerith is also aware that the timeline of events is changing. There are multiple points where she knows exactly what's about to happen, and is thrown off and surprised when something does not go as destiny was shown to her.
My wife, having no idea about the game, saw "Seven seconds until the end" and said "FF7-2 until the end? There IS an FF7-2?". I was about to correct her, but then realised she might be technically correct.

For those who wonder : "seconds" > "2nds" > second game
Amazing
Remake - as in Sephiroth is REMAKING the world and his destiny.
Agreed
Finally, someone else gets it. If zack survives.. it messes up everything. And sephiroth knows this.
Wade Williams yes. It creates at least one timeline where Cloud does not think that he’s a SOLDIER, is not Zack’s “living legacy”, is not found by Tifa at the train station, does not join Avalanche, does not meet Aerith who never uses Holy to defeat Meteor. Cloud is the only person who has the strength to defeat Sephiroth because of the experiments that Hojo performed on him AND his guilt over Zack. He has a level of inner strength and willpower that someone like Zack does not have. This is at least one universe in which Sephiroth wins.
So the final part of the Remake will most likely be of Cloud and Co. going backwards to ensure that the original timeline is kept intact and that both Zack and Aerith die.
@@EatTheMarxists Yeah... but honestly I'm glad I get to play as zack again for a little while. I honestly think Square Enix did this to give us a chance to play as zack in the second episode... in the end though... zack will die or realize he has to die. Which will be the sad part of the next episode.
Ooh, would be cool!
" 7 seconds " refers to the exact time that took Sephiroth to kill Aerith in the original FF7.
The second he appears on the screen until the last exact second when his sword periced Aerith.
But there’s nothing Cloud could do about that. Makes more sense if he was referring to the reactions that could be made within the time period, if he knew what to look for, to save the girl. Is just a hint for something that can be altered, not impending doom.
Aerith was actively trying to stop the black material when she died. It makes zero sense for Sephiroth to encourage Cloud to _prevent_ that. Just because the drop took around seven seconds does NOT mean that’s what he’s referring to. (Edit: it’s not even seconds seconds btw. From when he appears to when he stabs hers is 6 seconds).
They’re not fighting their future selves, they are fighting the future advent children and the 7 seconds, it tells you in game in the story menu, sephiroth shows cloud 7 seconds before the end of the world.
Kadaj, loz and yazoo. I thought they fit the bill

Also, I’m bummed we probably won’t get to see Cloud drooling in a wheelchair.
Maybe Sephiroth saved him just to mess with destiny
It will happen because the cause of his coma is falling into lifestream.
Which hasn't happened yet
It will happen because funny / memorable/ interesting things from the original will be kept. This is a clever way for Square-Enix to give fans the things they want, while also surprising them with new stuff. The only problem is the newcomers to the FF7 universe : those poor people won't understand a thing. But then it's doubly clever from Square-Enix because they think these poor souls will just buy the original game on the PSN just to make sense of all this crap. Hence more money to them.
I believe we will, until they announce something else. I imagine the future games will follow the same story beats and key locations of FF7 like Costa Del Sol, Cosmo Canyon, etc. but 1 or 2 things maybe changed up.
Whether they're big or small I can't really say until the next game is released, Aerith may not die or someone else may take her place. It's hard to say what but I'm a little excited to succeed.
It's too soon for me to make a call on how I will feel about this remake as a whole. I wish Nomura would quit making convoluted stories in an effort to seem "deep" and keep his KH insertions out of everything he touches.
That being said, other original creators involved with FF7 are on this project as well, so knowing that, I am hoping future installments will flush things out more to bring it all together. The original was confusing at first too, but tied things in nicely in the end. So I have hope for that here as well.
@James Tyler Aerith literally has to die in order for the white Materia to work Nomura is not going to take that away. This time travel nonsense is just a theory it has been confirmed.
It has NOT been confirmed. Excuse me typo 😅
The whole "7 seconds" this is pretty much Nomura in a nutshell...
About "other FF7 creators in the proyect", Kitase is only producing, and Sakaguchi left Square a looooooooong time ago, this is Nomura and Nojima proyect.
@@jahhun676 It is confirmed in the very game, the game takes place after Advent Children...you need Nomura to literally tell you "yes, that was Sephiroth from the future"?
Aerith wont die, we have absolute no idea how the story is going to play out, Aerith herself says they are not free from their destinies.
@Jose 84 So you trust a theory from IGN (who have been wrong before) than the words of the people who actually made the game? Plus this is just the first part so there is only two ways we get all get the answer we’re looking for. Either the directors respond to this in an interview or we just wait for the other parts and play to see where the plot plays out. I wouldn’t give all my money to IGN and say they are right.
At 3:50 I don’t think those three whispers are Cloud, Tifa, and Barret. They reminded me of Kadaj, loz, and yazoo because their weapons are similar to them, and they also summon Bahamut like in Advent Children.
I'm glad someone else made that connection.

level up yuffie and cid to 99 to make sure Aerith doesn’t die.
2020:
what!? Aerith might survive!? Stick to the original story!!!
This is the most accurate thing I have ever read 😂
Aerith always died
Raynaldo Djajasaputra no I don’t think she will I personally believe the Zack scene where he survived was a what if the whispers hadn’t forced his destiny to die a what if if you will. Just because we see Zack alive at the end doesn’t mean he is alive in the main timeline we are playing. I think I’m the next few games the main timeline will mostly follow the original story like aerith dying BUT I believe we will see an alternate scene in a timeline where she survives
Leo Maxwell I think your hoping more than thinking lol.....but I was referring to the original no matter what you do aerith always dies
Darnell Babb know it’s thinking as it’s obvious Zack is dead in the remakes main timeline
Honestly, if I get to play Zack in part 2... my life is complete. Zack was always my favorite character
Makes no sense if he survives. The whole story probably doesn’t happen if Zack and Cloud arrive in Midgar together
Introducing multiple timelines was a great idea. It gives the word "Remake" a whole new meaning than what it is. Let's just say the current FFVIIR timeline is where it truly begins.
It's honestly terrible
@@ProphetYoda No you
This sounds more like a reboot than a remake
That is because it is! ;)
But they sold it as a "remake" because that word alone in the title would double the sales in comparison to a "reboot".
no no no a SEQUEL!
a SIDEQUEL!
@@ry2950 It's not a reboot.
The events of ff7 take place. Some are changed and some are the same while others expand. That makes it a remake since events have been remade in places. If you know more of the spoilers, it shows why it's a remake.
A reboot for example is the new Digimon. Starts off differently, the first major enemy is way different from the original anime and everything else to come will be different from what I've seen.
Reivun Rantington their are literally multiple timelines where the events of the original took place and we are in another timeline. It’s a reboot.
The whispers are actually the fans who died before the release of the remake, but stayed to ensure a better ending for the series.
What was wrong with the original ending? Other than what they've done with Dirge of Cerberus or the animated movie it ended very well and didnt really require answers.
@@feartheoldblood I think the point Scire was trying to make is that in the game the whispers are trying to ensure the events of the original game and the joke being that the fans who wanted to see the original ending even after death are having to fight the current group of characters who want to go off rails.
Personally, realistically I would assume this new ending would be like a promotion for a crisis core remake, where the developers would provide us with 2 new endings.
I have a question and that is if those three whispers in the boss fight were the future version of cloud, Tifa and barret then whose fate did the huge whisper ressmeble was it aeriths fate.....?
Lol
I gotta say, in the beginning, I was so upset with the ending after having loved the game so much till then. But now, having watched a lot of content and heard numerous theories, I gotta say I am looking forward to what is coming next! I hope they'll handle it well and carefully, as I am not 100% sure yet. But still looking forward to it, and probably gonna replay the game multiple times in the meantime...
I feel like zack is gonna come back coming in clutch when cloud feels like he is giving up
They should've just called FF7 Reimagining or Rebirth🤷🏿♂️
Reunion
Reunion
Rebirth. Not a bad name
Rebuild of Final Fantasy 7 you can (not) redo
Reunion
The Whipser of fate is the embodiment of hardcore ff7 fans lol.
The whispers also resemble the original cloaked dudes with the numbers in them
LITERALLY
This is a very underrated comment
ff7 remake...one of those games that took my focus off from my own life for 2days straight...no sleep at all...exhausting...but super enjoyable ....one of the best games in 5years...so much flashbacks to my childhood and so much more new story...that it even made me giggle a lot while playing.(still hoping that Aeriths fate is the same so we can have another nostalgic moment)
The 3 whispers at the end of the game are not Barrent Tifa and Cloud, its Kadaj Loz and Yazoo, The red one has a sword that is not large like clouds its thin like the sword Kadaj uses, Yazoo has his duel pistols, and Loz has a giant glove similar to the weapon he uses in advent children. Their attacks are very similar to the attacks they use in Advent Children as well.
Edit: Yazoo did not have duel pistols sry it was a pistol with two barrels Edit 2: I should have phrased this better they don't "seem" to be Barrent CLoud and Tifa myb
they were just whispers as whispers. Not related to any characters at all.
When i watch the part where cloud fighting those three remnants in advent children well yeah it is them as whispers so this remake when they had to fight those three it means after defeat them they don't have to fight those remnants in the future they changed that future to different one when everyone is alive but idk where is wedge tho after he flew from the building is he the only one died? (yazoo he is using duel guns in Advent Children)
For plot considerations theyre just whispers... But theyre definitely a nod to kadaj gang. Even their colors reflect the "element" they possessed in an extra episode/game somwhere.
Yazoo does have two guns but Loz has the other one most of the time, when Cloud brakes one in the tunnel bike fight, he takes the other one from Loz
why would they include characters that don't exist yet?
So this isn't really a remake, it is more of a what if story.
More so a new game+ with the same set pieces but different course of actions
It's a different timeline with the originals timeline still existing only some characters seem to be aware of it... from what i gather
naw. Sequel/reboot
@@eazyleegaming Sounds confusing as hell especially for people who didn't play the original.
zack's apperance was a flashback aerith saw and zack is going to die, they didnt show it cause its a massive spoiler, it's only a tease to create some mystery. "Who's that guy?! I gotta play the next one to understand!" The whispers do give some glances into future events (without context to not spoil for new players). Was it necessary? no. Does it mean we're gonna get multiple timelines and time travel and zack is alive? absolutely not, this is all speculation by some dumbass at IGN.
Well. The story has definitely changed from the original. I’m a bit skeptical about it, but I’m gonna keep an open mind about it and see what part 2 is gonna be like. Though I do hope they don’t butcher this game like Kingdom Hearts with this time travel thing. The last thing I wanna do is fight a prototype of Nomura’s failed Versus 13 Noctis as a final Boss.
Same
Ya same. I'm sick of all this time travel and time line stuff. I like small changes, but that was a bit to much imo
Part 2 will come out like in 5 years... Lol
FFXV needs a remake so does Noctis
Nomura has no weight in this story. Just the original. This is all Nojima.
Just finished this. What a great game. One of my favorites now.
One question. The whispers seemed to work fine until the harbinger was beaten. I mean they managed to revive Barret.
But doesn't that also mean that the whispers should have killed Wedge and Biggs?
Because the Whispers were defeated, Wedge, Biggs and even Jessie all survive.
Maybe they revived them, given in to the new Destiny's rulers upon defrat, or maybe fate itself was changed and they all survived.
Whispers working fine? They're supposed to keep the story on track, but appears when not needed and don't when they should.
Nah... Whispers are lame af. Bad writing that uses ghosts as a deus ex machina for the changes they brought is lame.
Time travel always ends up making a story convoluted and creates all sorts of paradoxes.
Also, deaths and choices lose any depth of meaning because of their being no genuine consequence, e.g. major characters dies, but can come back due to time travel plot device.
What bothered me was how Cloud and gang were practically powerful enough to take on Sephiroth like they did at the end of the original FF7. In the original, on the first encounter with Sephiroth, Cloud and gang are much weaker, and that made Sephiroth a threat you can genuinely appreciate.
You do know that sephiroth wasn't even trying in the final battle?
SPOILERS
He even says "not yet" to cloud and disarms him with ease as if to say you're not ready to fight me yet. Plus if I'm not mistaken this isn't the real sephiroth as it's a clone according to the original game, so it's already a weaker version of seph. I like that we have a fight with him already to show how strong he is and be excited for the true final battle. I'm just not a fan of the time travelling crap (if it is) and changing the fate of certain characters like biggs.
@@bungifish2227 I think that the way they show us sephiroth in the remake pales in comparison with the flashback in kalm from the original, i understand that many people already know who sephiroth is but the way he is introduced in the remake is very cheap in my opinion. I also think with all the exposure they gave him and also used the iconic 1 on 1 duel they had at the end of the original sephiroth will probably not be the final boss in the remake.
one example: zack being alive means cloud has no reason for believing being a soldier first class. this is a mess and next chapter will be destroyed by fans
@@safer88 but they first show him in the junon boat....his introduction was always bad in the original but people only remember the incident in kalm
@@bungifish2227 ehm the cargo ship that sail from junon harbor to Costa del sol, happen much later than Kalm flashback, it shows sephiroth for a split second.....maybe you confused Kalm with nibelheim?
I really with they dont use the style of KH in story telling .. so confusing up to a point where you stop caring
Donald Duck and Goofy gonna join the party in part 2.
The magic of the original FF7 is that the story is grounded in a believable and relatable world. The themes and political implications are tangible. And actions have consequences. Character deaths carry weight. These Whispers of Fate undo all that: if the Whispers are guiding the characters, then the characters' own actions lose substance. And all this nonsensical implication about alternate timelines is just sickening and bad writing.
Ikr
Andres Hernandez if you ask me my interpritation was : those ghosts are just a part of the earth .. and it wants everything to go as planned for example when they saved her from falling in the church scene . They stopped cloud , Aerith and Tifa from running away because they must face thier “planned” fate .. and I really hope that no changes happen to the story .. because I am afraid that an alternate ending would result in Aerith staying alive and sephiroth gets to kill someone else .. which would really bum me out
I had that with the 13 series. Got so confused I couldn't be bothered with it and gave up
Awesome breakdown, I just finished remake last night and never played the original, now this all helps make sense of what I just played. Thanks guys
Always yelled "f***ing Nomura" when fighting with over the top boss fights
When the hell did we start messing with timeline
When Nomura was made director.
never, zack's apparence is a flashback and I now hate IGn more than ever, they're ruining a game for people with false information
in the OG zack dies near midgar next to cloud while trying to fight 2-3 soldiers. it takes place after the crisis core fight. IGN didnt connect the dots and now they should get sued by square
there is no messing with timelines at all, I saw the whole ending and it never even crossed my mind
@@domx7zero157 I'm not sure it's a flashback from the way the scene is represented, and the consensus is that he is alive in an alternate timeline. Not that he is alive in their time. And all the events in the old games, happens in a completely different timeline to the two mentioned. The one Sephiroth is trying to prevent from happening and the one the Whispers are trying to make happen. But because Cloud and the gang defeats the whispers, that timeline is totally gone, so anything from older games do not happen and we should expect new events. That's my take on it. Though honestly, this whole timeline nonsense is just silly sigh.
Any FF fan: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ENDING!
Kingdom Hearts fans: Nomura you sly dog I see what you did there
Kingdom Hearts is pathetic nothing original just steals mechanics and characters from Final Fantasy
@@CrowofYharnam I enjoy KH more than FF. I think both games are amazing and we should stop comparing them. Let every1 enjoy what they want.
^
I dont know why you guys are confused at the ending, i even understand what is happening
@@CrowofYharnam kingdom hearts WAS originally intended to be a spin-off for final fantasy tho
I think the point of all of this is giving us longterm fans and new fans something to look forward to and discuss without knowing what will occur. Of course a lot of people also feel this doesnt fit with the world we are in for ffvii. That being said, I think the purpose of all this is for the cast to try and change fate but realize the outcomes they need will only result if the deaths of those they care for come. It's a fancy way of just ended with the same outcomes I think.
I'm a newcomer to Final Fantasy, I just read the story of Final Fantasy 7 and Crisis Core before i play this game, so I'm very open to this changing with plot twist and mostly I'm glad that Aerith is still alive, although the future is uncertain (I was afraid to play the last chapter because of her death in original). I personally think this cliffhanger ending is brilliant and worth waiting for a sequel :D
Boy...FF7 is about to get the Kingdom Hearts treatment. No one is going to know what's going on from now on 😂.
Casey Teague lol
Casey Teague kh3 ruined the whole series for me. I hope this doesn’t do that either even though I went into it with it being a remake I had a open mind about it. I figured it wouldn’t follow the sequences exact.
I thought they knew not to do that anymore. *sigh*
I BET THIS REMAKE WILL CHANGE THE TIMELINE,BY TIME TRAVEL AFTER THEY ENTER THE PORTAL SEPHIROTH MADE
Tylor Robbins to be fair, the story was already ruined in the first place
Why is there even a need to change the story to such an extent when it is already a masterpiece?
M4E beepbeepfire I agree! Waste of time and money for them!
Because now they can milk this franchise for at least 10 more years, they are not limited by the original story anymore.
Exactly. Already a masterpiece. They knew they could never do it justice. So we got a sequel
Dreamer we’ll see the sales if it was wasted. So far this is looking to be the best FF game ever
to surpass even a masterpiece, this is a limit break
So all the sequels in this game has the time line that saves Zack, Aerith, Jessia, Biggs and who knows maybe Sephiroth comes to his senses and there''''s another boss at the final series ending? I've always wanted Sephiroth in my party to control him and move around as him even since I was 15 years old lol
the final boss is Xemnas.. i'm calling it... jk..
Might be Jenova
But still... Genesis is still a mystery, the cliffhanger in Dirge of Cerberus. Genesis must have a role in the remake. If not, then Dirge of Cerberus is not canon lol.
I would love for there to be an alternate timeline where Seph “snaps out of it” and him, Zack, Cloud and the others could all just be buddies X3
“I will... never be a memory.”
I have a theory that FF7 Remake is actually a Sequel of FF7 OG, I’ll try to explain it as simple as I can.
Remember the very first frame of FF7 OG opening right after the stars Scene?, it’s Aerith looking toward the leaking mako in a alleyway before proceeding to walk out into the Loveless street.
This very short scene of Aerith looking towards the leaking mako is played again at the very end of the ending of FF7 OG.
My theory is that Aerith at the very end of FF7 OG is the same Aerith from FF7 Remake, she went back in time through the lifestream, and in the Remake she’s trying to change the fate planned by the planet, thus why the appearance of the whisperers in the Remake.
While she do that Sephiroth is also doing the same thing, he realizes he couldn’t beat cloud and change the future towards his liking, and thus why in the remake he plan to get Cloud into his side. Remember his Quote * I shall not end nor is shall let you end* during the fight at the floating wrecked buildings. At the end of creation Sephiroth tried to acquired Cloud alliance.
Remember that the whisperer are beings that is capable of traveling through time and timelines and also interact with it if necessary. But they can’t really interact or disturb Sephiroth because of the Jenova cells that’s reside within him, basically the planet couldn’t really bother him because he’s not from the planet. Like Jenova. So the planet thought.
Anyway that’s it from me, am kinda tired, it’s 8 AM here and I haven’t sleep.. I’m probably going to edit this comment as soon as i wake up.
But let me know what you guys think.
I also got feeling that FF7 Remake is Sequel of FF7 OG. Reason FF7 OG Ending actually is a BAD END.
Go check Og ending. You can see that Meteor going destroy the planet and Lifestream come out to stop the Meteor. Then result big light, which i presume explosion. The whole planet is destroy. Then suddenly show Aerith face which is a FF7 Remake intro. In this remake, Cloud and others are going to change the Bad end.
wtf is FF7 OG?
Al Hoops Final Fantasy 7 Original or Classic so to say
@@ctlim4776 I take it you've never seen Advent Children or played Dirge of Cerberus???
Christopher Gore I do, but with this, it might change the event that happened in Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus.
If they decide to keep Aerith alive that is. If not, then what had happened in Ac and DoC might be left untouched.
Why do different timelines? That will only mess up the story at some point like it always does 🤦♂️
They want your money.... Expecting no less than 3 episodes and other side material like novels and movie if this become a hit. 🤣
@Kris Which, let's be honest: the game takes a HUGE dive in quality after the first trip to North Crater. LOL, my dumbass was thinking "man, how are they gonna end this game with Motorball?
Time travel and multiple universes, those are the 2 elements that ruin stories. KH had time so......
Ikr it just make us confused about the original story and the remake
How will it mess up a story that already exists on its own? This isn't a redux of the original. It is similar but not meant to be the same.
Zack being alive... If you've not been a long-time fan, you can't even begin to imagine the magnitude of this implication.
Since Zack's fate was just changed, I really hope we can say the same for Aerith in PART 2 when the time comes!
I feel like she will survive but die at the very end so we can play her character all the time :)
@@LaulauGlimm I think she'll stay alive even at the end because if timelines merge they might come across Zack and he'll protect her of course.
Zack's fate wasnt changed, this is a flashback and IGN is spreading fan theories as "the truth", don't let em ruin your experience
this was deconfirmed by square enix also
@@domx7zero157 It sure looked like his fate was just changed to ME!
It feels too self aware. Its plot actively aims to subvert the originals for no apparent reason, there was enough room for expanding the story in midgar without retconning the true story. Thats the problem, this feels like fan fiction...
Don't Judge before Playing. It's incredible. I liked the story even more than the original. The original story was kinda confusing and The remake did a Fantastic Job.
People who played it can't even hate on it. It's amazing
@@nilimadebbarma7694 agreed
There is no fan fiction about this. Original was old af. This is new time-line of final Fantasy 7
@@nilimadebbarma7694 I agree
@@nilimadebbarma7694 I did play it. Thats just my opinion on it, not that the original is flawless. But they could have cleaned it up and got rid of the 'confusion' without retconning the whole thing
Yeah, these new changes regarding fate will be super polarized. People will ether love them or hate them.
Guess we will have to wait and see how far the writers go down Nomuras wild ride in the sequels.
Part and 3 are coming
I hate it.
I love it XD.
And keep in mind that the original writer for FF7, Kazushige Nojima, is still writing the remake too.
Funny, cause I'm neither of those. And sure I can't be the only one.
I don't really care. No real grudges against those potential changes, I would just like it better if the thing about destiny or something avoid involving time travel (poorly handled most of the time).
We won’t find out until the sequels (and I’m sure the current fan reception could still shape them). I really wanted a faithful remake to the original storyline, and all I can say is that this a very risky move. Hopefully they really do something creative with the story arc. If it ends up being a full on reboot that changes or goes beyond the original ending, I’ll be pretty bummed.
I think I nailed how they're going to do Aerith's death scene!
Zack is in another timeline to the remake. There are 3 playing out- Remake, Zack not dying, and Original. It actually gives me a bit of piece of mind to know the original still happened, just in another timeline.
I wish they had just preserved the original story. Messing with Zack and the "fate" of the characters is just ridiculous.
Ridiculously awesome!
Exactly.
@Balmung Barbossa you are quick to say that when part 2 and 3 are still more to come
@Naquin Green I love it bro. I can't wait for part2. I am tired of original ending. I need to see new ones
Not only Zach, we also got Biggs who survived as well. He's shown waking up with his face bandaged, he didn't die. Wedge, it appears, was offed by the Whispers.
This seems really risky, like they want the best of both worlds having a reimagining of FF7 similar to a reboot, while also trying to be faithful to the same timeline/plot of the original. I hope it pays off and they have some great story arc we have yet to experience.
@Alopekis agreed. You don't want to show all your cards in the beginning, they're most likely setting up for something down the way as you've said.
Definitely interested to see where this path leads
Those 3 whispers were Kedaj, Loz & Yazoo. Left-handed and single handed sword and the gun shape give it away as well as summoning Bahamut. The future timeline was Advent Children. You're welcome
It's definitely Advent Children Sephiroth. He somehow went back in time to try and change things.
Honestly it's pretty obvious they are doing this to keep Aerith alive, or at least, let her join Zack in a different world as opposed to reunite post-death in the Lifestream.
Its definitely part of it
maybe, we will know that after 1-2 years release of pt2
And that removes probably the most impactful death in any video game. Would be the biggest mistake they could ever do
@@MrTouchem true but the FFVII remake is not the same as the 1997 Remake, the narrative has now changed, removing the death is a possibility at this point it seems
@@NickZoOoR Well time will tell, I honestly hope they don't remove that. As personally, I would feel cheated somewhat.
FF7 Remake: From Dementor with Love
J.K. Rowlings should sue, lol.
@@jadedandbitter lol hahahahaha
Aerith saying "I miss it. The steel sky." is very different from her line in Japanese, she evokes a very different emotional response: she says "The sky... I hate it." note An interview with Tetsuya Nomura in the Final Fantasy VII Remake Ultimania artbook explains that for Aerith, the (natural) sky is a symbol of sadness to her, as it is blocked out by the plate (ironically, the "steel sky"), both her mother and Zack died underneath the sky, and the Calamity From The Sky destroyed the Cetra. All this adds up to almost sounding like the complete opposite of her line in English or a line lost in translation.
A real shame that they change the meaning. The English translators need to stop doing this.
I read manga and watch anime so i will often come across this. I hate it the most when they do this for a crucial line that has been built up for the whole manga or arc and it just does not make sense at the end.
That is interesting. HOWEVER. She only says that line when she’s feeling the rain on her hands. You don’t feel rain when under a steel sky. In that way it served as a protection. Aerith also compared a future without the spectres controlling destiny as “open and terrifying, like an open sky”. The spectres around was very much a sort of protection. I don’t believe Aerith was referring to literal sky. I believe she was referring to this new unpredictable future. By saying “the steel sky, I miss it” what she really means is she misses the protection that destiny provided. But without destiny, she’s as vulnerable to what happens as one is vulnerable to the rain under an open sky.
To make a long story short, I don’t think we’re cheapened by having a different translation. In fact I think it gives us even MORE clues as to what she really means.
Another UA-camr said the 7 seconds will be literal. That cloud will have 7 seconds to save Aeris
If you don't wanna get spoiled, then just don't play the video...? Title of the video is literally telling you that it will talk about the ending. It's not like video's thumbnail is showing anything, even preview play is not showing anything. All you have to do is just not click it. Do I also have to teach you how to put your pants on? dafuq?
Omg thank you some ppl just dont have common sense

@@Sam-sn8oy same now that iv platinumed it and gone true it all, still as you say i like the theary.
Am I the only one who likes the ending? Once I thought about it I'm glad they're shaking things up, I personally didnt want it to be exactly the same, the original is still perfectly fun to play and that story will never be gone. Its exciting that the future is unclear and people get to experience the game in a new way.
Well said sir I loved it and it opened the door for different possibilities for the story line anything goes! I loved it, I laugh at the people that expected the same game when it says remake
Couldn't agree more, especially when the title says Remake, not Remaster. Now the future parts of the game are free to go in any direction. Can't wait to see what happens next.
I like the changes but the rest of the story will go as it did in the OG, this "zack is alive/multiple timlines" has been deconfirmed (and never made any sense)
@@domx7zero157 where was it deconfirmed? While I personally think it'll largely follow the original they'll have to change something in order for the ending to mean anything. Why would they put in the effort of putting in meta commentary if they aren't going to follow through with it?
@@mckennaa3641 Personally I never thought there was multiple timelines, Sephiroth is trying to defy fate. Before realizing they make you think the whispers are against you.
