Ok Im a big FF7 fan.. I had heard about Crisis Core but never played it.. OMG that added SOOO much to the series.. I had no idea.. AMAZING. Thanks to the guy who made and posted this.
this game was the first ever to make me cry, and the fact that was the first final fantasy game that i played means that everything felt like a suprise
Yes Zack... You are a hero... Even got the girl too... Shame you didn't see her one last time. However you held your honor and accomplished the unattainable wish. So you may rest in peace. Damn that was a sad ending
I like this Sephiroth better before he gets corrupted... How about another dimension where instead Sephiroth realizes that he will not fallow in jenova's destiny and destroy her, and after that hunts down his father to put a stop to him. Good Sephiroth sounds alot better.
*SPOILER* Sephiroth simply misinterpreted his origins is all, he thought Jenova was his mother which was actually quite the opposite. Jenova almost wiped out the Cetra I think. Sephiroth thought Jenova's people were Cetra. Besides his real mother was Lucrecia and his father, Professor Hojo. So basically Sephy went insane for no good reason. He did have Jenova cells in him like like any other SOLDIER the only difference is was he had them since he was in Lucrecia's womb. Btw the Sephiroth you described would be great to see. I enjoyed him being a good guy in the beginning. However he can virtually kill anyone and anything, which would make him a boring hero anyway.
He thought Jenova was a Cetra protecting the planet from a disaster but was betrayed by the humans. And with him being created from her cell, he thought he was her son and a cetra, who he thought was betrayed by the humans. So he wanted revenge. He still didn't know the truth when he killed Aerith....
The way square made the prequel was weird how it was on the PSP. The story definitely exceeded every intention. It was amazing. It truly is a sad story... Everyone around Zach died... Ya know?.. And it hit me even more when he read aeriths letter about how its the 89th one she sent. And how she's still waiting for him. It was so upsetting. 4 years passed as she waited. The story was great.. In the end Zach asked do you think I became a hero? Of course he did. 10/10 This game was great :*/
Vizzy Zilla He is. I was disappointed that he wasn't shown so often. Genesis would have made a great main-character within Final Fantasy VII in general, as Vincent turned out to be. I didn't even know he wasn't liked much. I think it mostly has to do with the fact that he wasn't a character that was carried on. And I also think Gackt just didn't have the time to continuously come back to this game series, should the need arrive to make improvements on Genesis...un-freaking-fortunately.
Danny Cam Genesis was a character with a development all on his own. You really insult the artist that was the model for Genesis by saying he's a rip-off. They are nothing alike.
I wonder if there can be an alternate storyline where Sephiroth didn't turn to evil? If Sephiroth learned about his real mother, his birth mother before he learned about being an experiment I don't think he would have had a psychotic break which turned him evil. Sephiroth would have gone to see his mother and rescue her from her hibernation their reunion would have healed Sephiroth. I think he had a psychotic break because he never felt he belonged anywhere and he was desperately hanging on to the only identity he knew which was a first class soldier the most powerful one. Once he learned the truth his fragile identity broke and he made a new one for himself in an effort to turn what he felt as a tragic pitiful existence into something meaningful as the harbinger to destroy the old world and make a new one. Sephiroth felt lost because he has no family the only time he felt needed or wanted was by Shinra because he was so powerful and useful to them. When he discovered Shinra made him a monster and stole the family he could have had the betrayal he felt drove him mad. I feel that none of this would have had happened if he met his real mother he never would have thought himself as a monster if he met his real mother she would have saved him. If Sephiroth could become a hero we would see more of him he is the best character of all the FF series in my opinion.
Sephiroth to me is like Darth Vader or the Lich King from World of Warcraft you just want to see more of them but they where killed of. The only villains that live on are in comic books and the only comic book villain I like is Magneto. So it's great we can see Magneto often but sucks that great villains like Sephiroth are basically gone.
ya know. if they keep Sephiroth as cool as he was before he lost his mind, and made Genesis the main bad guy for FF7. I'd be more than happy about that.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to watch this. I don't have a PSP and was always a fan of FF7, so this was really cool to see. GOD DAMN why can't the FF series still be this good?
yep this was one of the veeery few games that made cry like a lil baby lol. Others made me emotional like Shadow hearts 2 Ending theme, or xenosaga 2/3 ending, but no tears hehe
1:14:34 in which Sephiroth gives permission to Zack to go check out his girlfriend! Sephiroth wasn't blind about Zack's romantic life! This somehow makes me super happy! This game surely shows how Sephiroth was just a normal guy and he wasn't naturally evil, the people and situations around him made him that way.
***** this is the exact reason why I love the fact they came out with this game! It shows that even 'humans' can be 'monsters' (even though he was one physically, he wasnt one mentally yet)
Thomas Coolidge It makes the whole thing more sad and tragic. Sephiroth was complety mad at the time, he probably didn't associate Aerith as Zack's gf when he killed her. In his mind he just killed one more person who was standing in his way. All this care he had for Zack (and Aerith in some way) was completely vanished.
***** Thomas Coolidge I was under the assumption that it was always Jenova masquerading around as Sephiroth since his body was in the crystal, making it that it wasn't really him who killed her? Or am I reading too deep into it?
A Prime contender for a HD remaster if ever there were one. Never had a PSP and I would have missed out on this back story if it wasn't for this film. Thanks for the upload. :)
Steve Burton has been great as Cloud for all these years, but I gotta say he REALLY dropped the ball on that scream. I mean come on, he's a freaking soap opera star, he couldn't pull off an "I'm sad that my friend died" shriek? He's probably done it at least 7 times on General Hospital. I don't know who's to blame more, Steve or the voice director that heard that take and said to himself "Nailed it!"
OMG that ending! Wow, beautifully done. Cloud, Zack, Sephiroth-such rich histories and lives. Sephiroth and Angeal taught Zack, Zack passed down their (good) legacy to Cloud. Thank you for providing this video, I wouldn't have had such a personal connection to their backstories otherwise.
Lol you are very wrong. Stormtroopers(SA) were the most heroic army cause of their german honor, they pledge their lives for Germany going with smile into their deaths. You have no clue exactly, you should investigate properly. PS. this is Japanese game, you do know that Germans are old Japanese friends? Had the same purpose, to save the world.
i cried a lot when i played and watched that scene where aerith said that it was the final letters. and , in the end, zack didnt make it to meet aerith. and the ending, i cried like, a lot. if guys havent played this game, but yet, you enjoyed tge final fantasy 7, you have to play it. this game is so deep. yes, zack. you became a hero 😢😖😵💧💙
I still wonder, after all these years and no matter how many times I read through the story, watch these movies and play the games over and over again. I still wonder, would things have been different if the people - the protagonists/antagonists had known the truth of their birth and families from the start? Seeing how family seems to be the center message of the game, I just can't help but feel sad for the whole lot of them. Aerith, who had her father and mother murdered while they tried to protect her. Angeal and Genesis, who were actually brothers but never got to learn the truth until so much later, to a point where Genesis hated his step-parents so much that he killed them and Angeal wasn't strong enough to protect his mother either. How about Lucretia and Sephiroth? How would things have gone if she had been allowed to see her child after birth, take care for it the way she wanted, but wasn't allowed to. Would Sephiroth have accepted her as his mother over Jenova? It is sad, really sad.
Silent Hill Actually he's always used his left hand as his main hand. He only uses both hands if he's ..Well ,serious. or doing a strong attack like the octaslash. But even so he always has the left one as the dominant hand.
Thanks for doing this. I completed everything there was to do in this game when it came out, for my love of FF7. When I want to consider the backstory though, I don't want to dig through 20 years of gameplay. This is a great reference! Thanks again.
Man I'm 19 years old and I just finished watching this whole video. I had the game for PSP but never finished it. This just honestly hit home for me. He should have never died. They should do a re make where he lives and is together with Aerith forever and have a family. I'm so sad right now
This game always makes me want to cry. I love it so much. :( Thank you for uploading this. My PSP is broken so I can't really play it anymore. Once more. Thank you.
Saskia Cigam Kadaj, Loz, and Lazzu are different characteristics of Sephiroth that manifested in the Northern Crater when the turks went to retrieve Jenova's head. Genesis was taken by Nero and Weiss (Part of Deep ground - Tsviets ) to try and help them join the war they want to start with the upper world, however Genesis refused and went into hiding deep underground within midgar. Cloud loves Tifa, but form the traumatic event of Zack dying, with the mako poisoning and especially the Jenova cells messing with his body/mind (Giving him the abilities of Zack being a 1st class, but also taking on Zacks personality and memories) He is drawn to Aerith for that reason, but the true cloud always loved tifa :)
Saskia Cigam Cloud never had Tifa, his crush he had on her when they were kids, was long forgotten when he joined Soldier. He didn't want to face her or anyone else in Nibelhiem, because he felt ashamed for not making his dream come true. Tifa fell for Cloud, only because she heard he was going to be this awesome Soldier, so he can save the day and rescue the damsel in distress. I wouldn't say love, but that's where her feelings started to blossom into a crush, hence why she kept asking Zack if Cloud became a 1st class soldier.
Yukime Hime Cloud didn't have Aerith either. she only liked how he acted like Zack...it was ALWAYS a "you remind me of my EX BF" type of deal... she liked cloud but LOVED zack. even at the end of advent children you see them walking off together side by side
Lunch boy L.B Aerith stated in FF7, that she undoubtedly loved Cloud more than Zack, and knew the differences between what traits belonged to Cloud and what defined Zack's personality, thanks to her Cetra powers. So Aerith loving Cloud because of Zack, when she was clearly over him a little before the start of FF7, is false. Although I understand where the confusion lies, for those who haven't watched playthroughs on UA-cam, and or false fan interpretations made by other fans, then passing the info onto others. Then there's just straight up denial. In Aerith's official story, Maiden who Travels the Planet, she states again of her love for Cloud, and still views Zack as a best friend. And Zack accepts her wishes. Fun Fact: Aerith only realizes Zack is in the lifestream, after she thinks of Cloud, and not Zack even once. The memories Aerith was thinking about her and Cloud, woke up Zack from his slumber, (Because they both knew Cloud) then that's where Aerith learned that Zack had died, and didn't run off with another girl like she thought he did. So the ending to Crisis Core, which was made long after the making of FF7, is a filler/false ending. It didn't happen. Since it doesn't tie in with Aerith's canon story and makes no mention of Aerith ever sensing Zack had died that die, she didn't know, he had for many years. And it was after her death she finally exposed herself to what happened. In FF7 she points out how she loves Cloud, makes no mention of her love being tied to Zack, multiple times. Back to Aerith's story, Aerith could have patched things up with Zack, but didn't want to, since she had matured into a woman, and wasn't a naïve girl anymore. Zack tried flirting with her, and she still wouldn't let up her feelings for Cloud. Why not? Well, because, she knew the difference between their love, like Aerith said, "I can't be with someone who got along with a lot of girls." Which is hinted at in Crisis Core. Zack flirting with the secretary in one scene, and how easily he was willing to give Cissnei a date, but Cissnei turned him down. Well again, their romance wasn't even that, it was a simple crush they had for one another, and it wouldn't have gone anywhere even if Zack were to not have died. Like Nomura said about the scene where Zack and Aerith met, he described them as falling into a sudden crush, because their rebellious ways related to one another. I can find the quote for you if you still don't believe these facts I'm stating to you. So to say Cloud was loved by Aerith only because of Zack, begs a differ to all this evidence, to say Cloud loved Aerith because of Zack, is also false, on account of him remembering himself, and how his wounded cry reached Aerith in the Lifestream, how his cry surprised her, because she assumed he loved her like a best friend, and felt very deeply for her. Says a lot about how Cloud felt for Aerith. This reminds me of another quote, how Nomura said, The woman (meaning Aerith) was a lover and a dear friend." While describing Cloud and Aerith. There's a lot more evidence from quotes, to character quotes, to symbolism even well into Advent Children.
Yukime Hime no, i played FF7 for the ps1 before advent children even came out. when it was just FF7 and no zero spin-off's yet.you got the 90's kids who say fuck to anything that came after FF7 because it don't go right with all the plot holes the Nomura and the others created... and then the "advent children babies"..meaning those who seen the movie and played Crisis Core but never played the FF7 game for psx. THIS is why this remake is going to be HUGE! because I think they are going to tell the story the way the "advent children babies" view it. IDK, i'm really going nuts about this remake..they said the game is going to be re-done from the ground up! can't fucking wait!
I just wanted to say, "Thank you" , for putting this altogether. This is not my normal area of what I get into, but will begin watching more n playing afew games also.
Thank you so much for uploading this. Its been way so long! I remember being only 9 and sitting (far away from my brother) who was playing the game. (Because it was past bed-curfew) Always love watching this! Always thought it was a Cartoon! As i grow up older, I get to know more about FF and Aerith and Zack has been my first favourite couple in FF7 after Cloud&Tifa! Thank you so much for uploading this. Even though, I only skipped nad watch AxZ moments!!
Rainy Rain I have beaten the game about 6 or 7 times. How old are you , by the way? I am starting to believe that you played it late when Advent Children was already out.
Lol, love the part when he is assigned to go to the genesis 1st house mission. Where the new guy told Zack to " go say that to Sephiroth's face" lol, Zack's expression was priceless. and the part where the three are on the roof mock fighting and throwing verbal jibes. so funny, well till it got out of hand. ok all im gonna say for those who read comments before watching the show, lol
I have never played this one but grew up playing the Final Fantasy 7 game on the PS2, love the whole story line to it and how a lot of the different Final Fantasy stories all connect to each other.
Of all my years watching reading and playing Final Fantasy, my top four favorite characters of all time are: Lightning, Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockheart and Sephiroth. And my number one favorite final fantasy weapon has got to be Sephiroth's giant sword.
This was my very first FF game along with Dissidia, and the narrative of this game still resonates with me more than any other game I have played. Even games that structurally have better narratives like The Last of Us, Mass Effect 2, Bioshock Infinite, or The Witcher, this story about a boy trying to be the best man he can be sits with me the most. An all time favorite for sure.
Zack: "Heaven?" Aerith: "No, church in the slums." Zack: "...An angel?" Aerith: "No, I'm Aerith." Me: "Eh, close enough."
You know, I said the EXACT same thing!
Author Bat
lol, nice to know I'm not the only one. Luckiest fall ever.
***** Luck? More like...a blessing!
Author Bat
Ok then "most blessed fall ever" :P
Gotta love seeing Sephiroth being a human during this game...it felt so...warming.
I have, honestly, never heard that voice actor laugh before... Honestly?... It's slightly unsettling.
@@mistahjenkins4826, I guess you never watched Justice League?
1:22:08
Zack: By the way, where are we going?
Sephiroth: ...To Nibelheim.
Everyone who played FF7: OH SHIT!!!
Shaiye Gray I had never beaten 7 (furthest I ever got was right out of Midgar) and let's just say I was in for a surprise.
Did you do the flashback scene right after it? Or do you mean the surprise was that half of it was Zack?
Remembering Sephiroth before he went batshit crazy warms my heart
***** The truth can destroy.
***** If it is the truth.
Yeah, mine too
Me too
Makes be sob uncontrollably
sephiroth was such a nice guy...
Yeah... He was such a " nice guy" right?
i think they should make a movie of final fantasy 7 from the beginning to the end! who agrees!
alice bloodly yeees!!!
The remake comes out 12am this Friday
da
Ok Im a big FF7 fan.. I had heard about Crisis Core but never played it.. OMG that added SOOO much to the series.. I had no idea.. AMAZING. Thanks to the guy who made and posted this.
Thomas Coolidge you should have played it, it would have a much deeper impact
this game was the first ever to make me cry, and the fact that was the first final fantasy game that i played means that everything felt like a suprise
Never played it but i am trying to find a copy
Still, I like to have the copy in disc
Thinking better I might get it on ps3
Zack hasn't become a hero....he has always been a hero ♡
thesweetz131 jes
Yes Zack... You are a hero... Even got the girl too... Shame you didn't see her one last time. However you held your honor and accomplished the unattainable wish. So you may rest in peace.
Damn that was a sad ending
He did see her... in the church, during Advent children so surely that counts.
Wood Elf I Know this game is old. but I thing this game is never gets old .I still like to play this game
+RAI DEN er
The fuck... why has my comment been removed.... wow Jesus... people are that stupid to flag a comment that was positive... GG
***** it is back now....
Zack: And WHAT?
Sephiroth retreats from his phone.
Jesus Christ Zack. No need to shout.
I forgot how funny that was haha
"Embrace your dreams & protect your honor!!!"
Dat quote remind me for Zack :(
Most def most awesomeness
Zuko reincarnated in a different universe
I like this Sephiroth better before he gets corrupted... How about another dimension where instead Sephiroth realizes that he will not fallow in jenova's destiny and destroy her, and after that hunts down his father to put a stop to him. Good Sephiroth sounds alot better.

Correction : hojo is a bitch and a snake for what he did cause he's really the reason behind sephiroth insanity
38:46 you know you're fucked when you hear sephiroth's theme song
I'm very new to Final Fantasy as a whole, I'm very impressed with the characters of Sephiroth and Genesis.
Christ, two years on and this is still my most viewed video. gotta get back to more game compilations! Any request?
Dissidia 012? Or Dirge of Cerberus?
I have done Dirge of Cerberus
Dissidia sounds nice
Vizzy Zilla Oh, well there's another "movie" I need to see.
Im playing it for 5th time now :p
The way square made the prequel was weird how it was on the PSP. The story definitely exceeded every intention. It was amazing. It truly is a sad story... Everyone around Zach died... Ya know?.. And it hit me even more when he read aeriths letter about how its the 89th one she sent. And how she's still waiting for him. It was so upsetting. 4 years passed as she waited. The story was great.. In the end Zach asked do you think I became a hero? Of course he did. 10/10 This game was great :*/
I wonder how these games would've turned out it Sephiroth didn't go crazy.
I fucking love Zack. He is so lovable as a character.
It's so weird Sephiroth being good for like half the game.
Don't get why so many people do not like Genesis. Thought he was a well thought-out and developed character, myself.
Vizzy Zilla He is. I was disappointed that he wasn't shown so often. Genesis would have made a great main-character within Final Fantasy VII in general, as Vincent turned out to be. I didn't even know he wasn't liked much. I think it mostly has to do with the fact that he wasn't a character that was carried on. And I also think Gackt just didn't have the time to continuously come back to this game series, should the need arrive to make improvements on Genesis...un-freaking-fortunately.
Yeah, i agree. It seems like he was an over-looming antagonist instead of an immediate one.
I always hated him because he's basically a less-ambitious ripoff of Sephiroth, with poetry and a red color scheme.
he's nothing like Sephiroth though
Danny Cam Genesis was a character with a development all on his own. You really insult the artist that was the model for Genesis by saying he's a rip-off. They are nothing alike.
I wonder if there can be an alternate storyline where Sephiroth didn't turn to evil?

If Sephiroth could become a hero we would see more of him he is the best character of all the FF series in my opinion.
I totally agree man. You've made a lot of good points. When you put it this way Sephiroth is more of a tragic character than a real villain.
Sephiroth to me is like Darth Vader or the Lich King from World of Warcraft you just want to see more of them but they where killed of. The only villains that live on are in comic books and the only comic book villain I like is Magneto. So it's great we can see Magneto often but sucks that great villains like Sephiroth are basically gone.
Rick Rouse Too true.
yes. need this. even if it's just a short CGI film that would so great with the updated animation of now
給與聞問政
ya know. if they keep Sephiroth as cool as he was before he lost his mind, and made Genesis the main bad guy for FF7. I'd be more than happy about that.
Now I don't want any hate, but some of this could be just pasted onto kingdom hearts sephiroth
31:44 the way sephiroth acts all cool and calm when an intruder is alerted, esp the way he walks away. BADASS!!!!!!!!!!!!
***** I know but it was just awesome!!!!!
Ikr
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to watch this. I don't have a PSP and was always a fan of FF7, so this was really cool to see. GOD DAMN why can't the FF series still be this good?
How did Sephiroth handle being so fucking cool on a daily basis?
Like everyone he likey puts on a mask he is very much as human as us he is my man after all 😓
Zack is one of the greatest and strongest heroes of all time.
In the Ending,It makes me cry :'(
Same here :'(
I actually did cry, it was too emotional
I'm joining the club with you guys.
What a tragedy. I wish it could have ended differently, but as a prequel that's just not possible. :(
yep this was one of the veeery few games that made cry like a lil baby lol. Others made me emotional like Shadow hearts 2 Ending theme, or xenosaga 2/3 ending, but no tears hehe
no kidding thats never ever happened, ff7 was like my childhood though so it was special lmao
0:05:16 "Overconfidence will destroy you." Oh, the irony.
"Men Cry Not For Themselves, But For Their Comrades. -Crisis Core
34:16. This cutscene alone makes Sephiroth’s decent into madness hurt so much. He actually cares about Zack and his relationship with Angeal.
Oh my god. 1:52:23 "He just ate my hair" that made me laugh so fuckin hard.
31:48 Intruder ! Zack runs and Sephiroth is just like fuck it.. power walk instead lol.
1:14:34 in which Sephiroth gives permission to Zack to go check out his girlfriend! Sephiroth wasn't blind about Zack's romantic life! This somehow makes me super happy! This game surely shows how Sephiroth was just a normal guy and he wasn't naturally evil, the people and situations around him made him that way.
***** this is the exact reason why I love the fact they came out with this game! It shows that even 'humans' can be 'monsters' (even though he was one physically, he wasnt one mentally yet)
***** Now think about in the FF7 game when Seph kills Aerith. Does that not make him even more of a monster?

Cloud:Imma steal yo girl, Zack
Lol.....heroes don't do that..
A Prime contender for a HD remaster if ever there were one. Never had a PSP and I would have missed out on this back story if it wasn't for this film. Thanks for the upload. :)
Steve Burton has been great as Cloud for all these years, but I gotta say he REALLY dropped the ball on that scream. I mean come on, he's a freaking soap opera star, he couldn't pull off an "I'm sad that my friend died" shriek? He's probably done it at least 7 times on General Hospital. I don't know who's to blame more, Steve or the voice director that heard that take and said to himself "Nailed it!"
TRUE 😂😂😂
Thanks for uploading this, I really love this Final Fantasy!
For me it's the best ever!
Everyone thought Zack was killed but he lived in a cave after his battle with Hashirama and unlocked the rinnegan. Best Uchiha in the series.
I love the reference but why zack 😑
Look at his hair in certain scenes. Just noticed some similarities hah.
Angeal = Might
Sephiroth = Finesse
Genesis = Sorcery
*****
Musketeers? more like the 3 gods of SOLDIER!
***** ik just that these guys are not the top soldiers, theyre like off the chart D:
Well what about Zack?
This was beautiful, the ending was so sad I almost cried. Love it!
OMG that ending! Wow, beautifully done. Cloud, Zack, Sephiroth-such rich histories and lives. Sephiroth and Angeal taught Zack, Zack passed down their (good) legacy to Cloud. Thank you for providing this video, I wouldn't have had such a personal connection to their backstories otherwise.
Those guys at the start shoot worse than Storm-troopers
right! he's just standing on the phone, doesn't even care cause they shoot so bad hitting him would make it weird
It's like they're missing on purpose, I mean like even a regular adult could have at least 1 bullet hit.
Lol you are very wrong. Stormtroopers(SA) were the most heroic army cause of their german honor, they pledge their lives for Germany going with smile into their deaths. You have no clue exactly, you should investigate properly. PS. this is Japanese game, you do know that Germans are old Japanese friends? Had the same purpose, to save the world.
You did such a pretty nice job creating this movie coz its used to be a game that my little sister played :) thanks for editing
You became a hero zack, you totally became it!
Those Wutai/Shinra whatever troops have aim that would make Storm troopers blush.
ICantSplel lol
i cried a lot when i played and watched that scene where aerith said that it was the final letters. and , in the end, zack didnt make it to meet aerith. and the ending, i cried like, a lot. if guys havent played this game, but yet, you enjoyed tge final fantasy 7, you have to play it. this game is so deep.
yes, zack. you became a hero 😢😖😵💧💙
dindaaulle me too!! My PSP was soaked in tears!! 😭
I always wanted to learn more about Zack. Thanks for the upload!
Yes Zack, you became a hero, like you always wanted.
I still wonder, after all these years and no matter how many times I read through the story, watch these movies and play the games over and over again. I still wonder, would things have been different if the people - the protagonists/antagonists had known the truth of their birth and families from the start? Seeing how family seems to be the center message of the game, I just can't help but feel sad for the whole lot of them. Aerith, who had her father and mother murdered while they tried to protect her. Angeal and Genesis, who were actually brothers but never got to learn the truth until so much later, to a point where Genesis hated his step-parents so much that he killed them and Angeal wasn't strong enough to protect his mother either. How about Lucretia and Sephiroth? How would things have gone if she had been allowed to see her child after birth, take care for it the way she wanted, but wasn't allowed to. Would Sephiroth have accepted her as his mother over Jenova? It is sad, really sad.
SplitxHeart Agreed
"If only...."
Such is life. Great game though
Damn... Sephiroth held off Cloud's jumping strike with one hand!
+Andrewsafb71 Well to be fair.. Cloud was still fairly weak at this point. No mako injections or any training with the buster sword either.
+Andrewsafb71 I know right! And his fight with Angeal and Genesis is a totaly badass.Using only his left hand 99% just shows how awesome he is
+Silent Hill Or that he's left handed.
Silent Hill Actually he's always used his left hand as his main hand. He only uses both hands if he's ..Well ,serious. or doing a strong attack like the octaslash. But even so he always has the left one as the dominant hand.
Amazing video. I never played this for the PSP so I'm really happy I got to watch this entire video. Thank you very much, uploader.
Such an amazing story! The ending was so sad. Since I knew Zack was supposed to die but its still hits you hard in the feels.
I love how backwards the story line is for FF . Great job.
Damn Sepiroth used to be a nice decent guy.. such ashamed with what happened to him. He even smiled happily when he was with Angeal and Genesis.
Thanks for doing this. I completed everything there was to do in this game when it came out, for my love of FF7. When I want to consider the backstory though, I don't want to dig through 20 years of gameplay. This is a great reference! Thanks again.
oh man.. Sephiroth... you were such a good man, why did you have to fall into madness? whyyyyy?? *cries*
Man I'm 19 years old and I just finished watching this whole video. I had the game for PSP but never finished it. This just honestly hit home for me. He should have never died. They should do a re make where he lives and is together with Aerith forever and have a family. I'm so sad right now
I love this game but every time Genesis spouts one of those lines from Loveless, I want to punch him over and over
Thank you for uploading this. I couldn't get pass Sephiroth but want to see the rest of the story.
Right in the feels everytime
This game always makes me want to cry. I love it so much. :(
Thank you for uploading this. My PSP is broken so I can't really play it anymore. Once more. Thank you.
Cried like a baby :'(
Zack you were a hero since the beginning of the story to me
Saskia Cigam Kadaj, Loz, and Lazzu are different characteristics of Sephiroth that manifested in the Northern Crater when the turks went to retrieve Jenova's head.
Genesis was taken by Nero and Weiss (Part of Deep ground - Tsviets ) to try and help them join the war they want to start with the upper world, however Genesis refused and went into hiding deep underground within midgar.
Cloud loves Tifa, but form the traumatic event of Zack dying, with the mako poisoning and especially the Jenova cells messing with his body/mind (Giving him the abilities of Zack being a 1st class, but also taking on Zacks personality and memories) He is drawn to Aerith for that reason, but the true cloud always loved tifa
:)
Saskia Cigam Cloud never had Tifa, his crush he had on her when they were kids, was long forgotten when he joined Soldier. He didn't want to face her or anyone else in Nibelhiem, because he felt ashamed for not making his dream come true. Tifa fell for Cloud, only because she heard he was going to be this awesome Soldier, so he can save the day and rescue the damsel in distress. I wouldn't say love, but that's where her feelings started to blossom into a crush, hence why she kept asking Zack if Cloud became a 1st class soldier.
Yukime Hime Cloud didn't have Aerith either. she only liked how he acted like Zack...it was ALWAYS a "you remind me of my EX BF" type of deal... she liked cloud but LOVED zack. even at the end of advent children you see them walking off together side by side
Lunch boy L.B Aerith stated in FF7, that she undoubtedly loved Cloud more than Zack, and knew the differences between what traits belonged to Cloud and what defined Zack's personality, thanks to her Cetra powers. So Aerith loving Cloud because of Zack, when she was clearly over him a little before the start of FF7, is false. Although I understand where the confusion lies, for those who haven't watched playthroughs on UA-cam, and or false fan interpretations made by other fans, then passing the info onto others. Then there's just straight up denial. In Aerith's official story, Maiden who Travels the Planet, she states again of her love for Cloud, and still views Zack as a best friend. And Zack accepts her wishes. Fun Fact: Aerith only realizes Zack is in the lifestream, after she thinks of Cloud, and not Zack even once. The memories Aerith was thinking about her and Cloud, woke up Zack from his slumber, (Because they both knew Cloud) then that's where Aerith learned that Zack had died, and didn't run off with another girl like she thought he did. So the ending to Crisis Core, which was made long after the making of FF7, is a filler/false ending. It didn't happen. Since it doesn't tie in with Aerith's canon story and makes no mention of Aerith ever sensing Zack had died that die, she didn't know, he had for many years. And it was after her death she finally exposed herself to what happened. In FF7 she points out how she loves Cloud, makes no mention of her love being tied to Zack, multiple times. Back to Aerith's story, Aerith could have patched things up with Zack, but didn't want to, since she had matured into a woman, and wasn't a naïve girl anymore. Zack tried flirting with her, and she still wouldn't let up her feelings for Cloud. Why not? Well, because, she knew the difference between their love, like Aerith said, "I can't be with someone who got along with a lot of girls." Which is hinted at in Crisis Core. Zack flirting with the secretary in one scene, and how easily he was willing to give Cissnei a date, but Cissnei turned him down. Well again, their romance wasn't even that, it was a simple crush they had for one another, and it wouldn't have gone anywhere even if Zack were to not have died. Like Nomura said about the scene where Zack and Aerith met, he described them as falling into a sudden crush, because their rebellious ways related to one another. I can find the quote for you if you still don't believe these facts I'm stating to you. So to say Cloud was loved by Aerith only because of Zack, begs a differ to all this evidence, to say Cloud loved Aerith because of Zack, is also false, on account of him remembering himself, and how his wounded cry reached Aerith in the Lifestream, how his cry surprised her, because she assumed he loved her like a best friend, and felt very deeply for her. Says a lot about how Cloud felt for Aerith. This reminds me of another quote, how Nomura said, The woman (meaning Aerith) was a lover and a dear friend." While describing Cloud and Aerith. There's a lot more evidence from quotes, to character quotes, to symbolism even well into Advent Children.
Yukime Hime no, i played FF7 for the ps1 before advent children even came out. when it was just FF7 and no zero spin-off's yet.you got the 90's kids who say fuck to anything that came after FF7 because it don't go right with all the plot holes the Nomura and the others created... and then the "advent children babies"..meaning those who seen the movie and played Crisis Core but never played the FF7 game for psx. THIS is why this remake is going to be HUGE! because I think they are going to tell the story the way the "advent children babies" view it. IDK, i'm really going nuts about this remake..they said the game is going to be re-done from the ground up! can't fucking wait!
I just wanted to say, "Thank you" , for putting this altogether. This is not my normal area of what I get into, but will begin watching more n playing afew games also.
Feels weird, seeing that Sephiroth was (kind of) a normal guy before the Nibleheim Incident.
Thank you so much for uploading this. Its been way so long! I remember being only 9 and sitting (far away from my brother) who was playing the game. (Because it was past bed-curfew) Always love watching this! Always thought it was a Cartoon! As i grow up older, I get to know more about FF and Aerith and Zack has been my first favourite couple in FF7 after Cloud&Tifa!
Thank you so much for uploading this. Even though, I only skipped nad watch AxZ moments!!
i almost cried at the end. whyyyyyy zack? whyyyyyy?
Ikr who's cutting onions?
Years after and I'm still crying over Zack.
ikr its been like 2 or 3 yrs ever since i finished this game still crying like a bitch
do you happen to know if aerith and zack are in love with each other? is cloud in love with aerth?
Well it was kinda obvious in the game
I LOVE Final Fantasy VII
I fucking love Cloud!! And Zack too but Cloud is my favourite )
Cloud strife always
He overcame it all and rose to the occasion.
The underdog who killed Sephiroth TWICE.
Cloud was always the best. ❤
I think it looks great, I understand some the clips were forgotten, but hey, I like it and what you did!
Zack you are a hero.
Why did i watch this? I'm all depressed now.
Anyway thank you for making this!
1:22:35 somewhere Lucretia is crying.....just think if someone had told him the truth about Lucretia....he might not have gone haywire.
Reibun Boone Yep
Thank you I think most people are ok with the words at least they are small, appreciate the upload.
"Hey, would you say I became a Hero?"
Shure Zack and thanks for make this guy crying.
"Embrace your dreams"
Sure*
Thank you for sharing Zilla. Not everybody has the time to play through the game to experience the story. Seriously. Thank you.
So Zack is the true hero of FF7 somehow...
Yea, he was way more colorful than emo Cloud.
+1
+MaximumKarnage Man, i hate when people say that about cloud, did you even play the original FF7?
Rainy Rain Yes, I did. I played it back in the 90's upon release.
Rainy Rain I have beaten the game about 6 or 7 times. How old are you , by the way? I am starting to believe that you played it late when Advent Children was already out.
This games Characters and Story was way ahead of its Time.
i clicked on the video only for see the ending, again... still one more time..
Cescolo has
Beautifully put together nice work thanks so much.
Lol, love the part when he is assigned to go to the genesis 1st house mission. Where the new guy told Zack to " go say that to Sephiroth's face" lol, Zack's expression was priceless. and the part where the three are on the roof mock fighting and throwing verbal jibes. so funny, well till it got out of hand. ok all im gonna say for those who read comments before watching the show, lol
Don't have a psp, seen this before but re-watching for fun and out of boredom, thanks for the video I never got to play the game but this was enough
THIS my friends, deserves to be a game for the ps4
It won't happen because of copyright issues at Square.
+MaximumKarnage why copyright? oOo this is theirs right?
The first two minutes made me realize why so many people love Final Fantasy :3
Best prequel ever!
thanks for uploading. so good man, could of been an actual movie.
Masterpiece. That's all I have to say :).
I have never played this one but grew up playing the Final Fantasy 7 game on the PS2, love the whole story line to it and how a lot of the different Final Fantasy stories all connect to each other.
Zack is the best character of all ff7!
Agree. I wud like another ff game wid zack as protagonist
would've liked showing tifa in the video to make sense between the cutscenes , but thanks for posting all this anyways! :)
Dude, when Cloud stabs Sephiroth with the Buster Sword that should've shredded him tbh xD
Biggest THANK YOU ever! a movie that changed my...life!
zack must live
Agree
You're the best!!!! Thx for upload
Oh My GOD!! This is an awesome video
I loved it! :D
Of all my years watching reading and playing Final Fantasy, my top four favorite characters of all time are: Lightning, Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockheart and Sephiroth. And my number one favorite final fantasy weapon has got to be Sephiroth's giant sword.
God i love this game, its story, the 1st class trio and my main man Zack! Best psp game for a reason lol
This was my very first FF game along with Dissidia, and the narrative of this game still resonates with me more than any other game I have played. Even games that structurally have better narratives like The Last of Us, Mass Effect 2, Bioshock Infinite, or The Witcher, this story about a boy trying to be the best man he can be sits with me the most. An all time favorite for sure.
2:27:01 "Embrace your dreams. Protect your honor."
This had me shedding a few tears FFVII will always remain the best in my book
