So, I have been seeing this lately and I wanted to make a video explaining why only Tifa can be a part of the Lifestream Sequence in Part 3 of the FFVII REMAKE TRILOGY!

Ever since I first played FF7 as a youngster of 42 in 1997 I have thought that the Lifestream Section is the heart of the story. Thank you for a very interesting video, I agree with you!
I am very happy you enjoyed my video! Thank you so much and yes I always believed it to be one of, if not, the most important scene in FFVII because of how its written, handled and brings the true Cloud to the surface.
is tifa basically useless in the remake trilogy? because a lot of people are saying that tifa does not have any role at all and they don't care about her.
I really can't see how so many people want to replace Tifa in both of her peak moments thinking that her role could be done by any party member... it's almost an insult to her character to want to remove her development and closure. It shows a lack of understanding of both characters really
I've also been seeing a lot of people thinking Tifa's role is fulfilled in rebirth from the lifestream sequence foreshadowing part 3, when it only showed Tifa her lost memory of her fall
I never get mad at takes, but the idea of removing her or adding anyone to this scene makes me lose my mind. Theres a reason why its only her and Cloud, it's so baffling. Rebirth showed us a glimpse of what this scene is going to be like and it made me even more excited for it! Tifa's role is def not fulfilled as Cloud's mind is still messed up in the end, like he literally says reunion at the end, that automatically tells you his mind is still not right. The idea for any of this is for some weird agenda people have to give other characters things that they dont need to make them important in part 3. This is Tifa's (and Cloud's) moment and no one can replace her.
I don't believe it's really that many people but they are loud. Also, SE has been pushing Tifa and Cloud so much more than in the OG, or a lot earlier at least. No way they are going to abandon that. Part 3 should be even heavier on Cloud and Tifa than the first 2 parts where.
@@talmanes4589Right? I don’t think people understand that from a writer perspective you don’t just give characters hard confirmed romantic feelings just to do nothing with them; It’d be a waste of time.
@@Step43099 For a Final Fantasy game an official kiss is as hard as they go too.
@@TheLoonyBin do you think that tifa will break her promise to save cloud from his mental state in part 3 or is she will keep her promise to save him because on the internet it was saying tifa will not save cloud in part 3 it saids Zack and aerith will save cloud and that does not make any sense at all do you agree?
You are a brave man.
I been having epic battles with the cleriths about this same topic.😅
I am convinced there is no logic with those people!
Well, i dont know about brave lol but thank you. I just found it such an odd thing that people in the fandom wanted to change. Its such an important piece of FFVII that changing it too drastically would harm it more than do good.
that's a good point, sir.
Glad you think so! Thank you!!
how much do you want to bet that tifa is not going to help cloud in part 3 because tifa did not say one word to cloud at all in the end of rebirth?
@@RyanOstrowski-eh6ft And why do you think Tifa would not help Cloud in Part3? What do you think Tifa should say to Cloud at the end of Rebirth?
@@echoozz i don't know and can you tell me why tifa did not say one word to cloud at all at the end of the game?
@@RyanOstrowski-eh6ft I’m guessing you never played the OG. Tifa did not say a thing at the end of the game because the devs made it that way for story telling purposes. But do tell me, what do you think Tifa should say to Cloud at the end of the game?
Beautiful analysis, sir. It is wonderful - especially amid the web of misunderstandings in this fanbase - to have stumbled upon a man who understands and respects the story SE has always told, and is presenting once again through the expanded retelling that is this trilogy. I have subbed and look forward to more. All the best! :D
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the kind words! Thank you for the sub as well and I hope to continue making decent FFVII videos for as much as I can.
Like it or not, people are going to have to come to grips with the fact that Aerith and Zack are bit players in the story from here on. I do suspect we'll see them more than the OG game, where you basically never see her again until the very last cut scene, and only barely see Zack at all, but I don't expect a lot of them. It was mostly Cloud and Tifa's story from here on and considering how much more they have built up their relationship, I see part 3 being more of the same. I do like the idea of Aerith and Zack having some small part to play but not in the lifestream.
I think theyll play a part, but it would be similar to the way zacks role was in rebirth where we go to them for short scenes and leads to their reunion and maybe join the final fight, but who knows if they will.
Do people not remember what Tifa said in Gongaga? “You saved me now let me save you” seems obvious it’s going to be Tifa which I hope it is
Gongaga def was a precursor to the lifestream sequence that will happen in part 3 and I do believe it will only involve Tifa.
Never let them cook
I'm OK if we get a resolution similar to the OG, but I'm OK if Sephiroth's machinations change this sequence, so that her words really can't reach him anymore. Similar to the Aerith's death scene, it is too predictable to save or kill her, but both at the same time? Wow, no one saw that coming. I'm interested in the consequences and impact of the change. Sephiroth revealed himself in the premature Lifestream sequence. What is he up to? Will he succeed in severing their bond? We will see.
They can def play around with it in that way, as long as the main focus is fixing Cloud and giving Tifa her own character arc closure as well because of how their arcs are all focused around each other and what sephiroth did to them both.
Yeah replacing Tifa is the dumbest shit i've ever heard.
I get that they could include Zack in the story a _bit_, maybe "memory" Zack is possessed by Zack from the lifestream and he turns to Cloud and Tifa and interacts with them.
They already included the bridge scene and gave that moment to Tifa alone in a way to resolve the conflict that had been brewing between Tifa and Cloud, so i think we might get new scenes in than just Nibelheim and the water tower in part 3, or maybe they'll expand the "true" Nibelheim story, when Cloud comes to Tifa and how he beat Sephiroth, not just a few flashing moments as in the OG.
I think they'll def expand on the lifestream sequence and I for one hope they do. There are many things they can do and I know theyll handle it with great care. We already got a great preview of it and if its naything like that, I dont know if I'll be ready for the emotions!
why are people saying that it's not tifa that going to save cloud there are saying Zack and aerith are going to save him that doesn't make any sense at all
I have never heard anyone seriously talk about "replacing" Tifa for the lifestream sequence outside of the shipping nutjobs. What I have heard many people talk about is how much the lifestream sequence is likely to be expanded and include additional characters. Which causes the shippers to lose their shit because they think it means "replacing" Tifa. I'm not even a shipper, but I'm near the point to where I hate Tifa's character because of the shipping community. Just leave their characters alone and stop making everything into a fucking war.
Even adding characters will harm the scene because of what Cloud says in the lifestream in the OG. "Tender memories that no one else can know." If you decide to add others, then they will see those memories that Cloud doesnt want anyone to see. Now expanding it is fine, but it has to make sense to what the scene represents for Cloud as its to find the real him. No one knows the real him except Tifa who is the closest to knowing him. Cloud only allows Tifa in bec he is okay with her seeing those memories bec they relate to her. Zack cant really help bec he doesnt know these memories to the full extent of the real Cloud. Even in crisis core, when Zack confronts Cloud about him liking Tifa, Cloud responds but doesnt nec talk about it because he doesnt want to tell him. Zack then simply implies that Cloud should talk it out with Tifa. To which he does when he pulls her into his subconscious in the OG.
The lifestream sequence is more than just about shipping. It is a closure of two character arcs that need it. The others dont need those closures as they get them as you play through the story. In the end, only Cloud and Tifa dont get those closures until this sequence so adding anyone else just would make sense.
@@TheLoonyBin FFVII is not a dating sim, nor is romance even central to the plot. Nojima can add who he damn well pleases. I just hope you shippers don't go harassing him over it.
@@thetatheorem1554 I dont go do that stuff. Yes, I'm a shipper, but like I said before, this is more than a shipping moment or scenario. It's a scenario for both of their individual character arcs and integral to the story as the real cloud is needed to stop Sephiroth. This video was never meant to be about shipping, but the idea that anyone can replace or be added to this scene instead or along side Tifa doesnt work bec its more than that. Never once did I think of FFVII as a dating sim bec its not. It never was. There is absolutely nothing wrong with romance at all in any story, but this scene means more to the overall story than romance as its the scene that brings the real cloud out to go and put a stop to sephiroth and Jenova.
@@TheLoonyBin You can't say that. Because to shippers. EVERYTHING is literally about shipping. That's the lens through which they view the story. And they get really mad when they don't get their way or when Aerith receives attention.
Just please don't harass the devs when Aerith returns in part 3.
@@thetatheorem1554 well, I can't deny that some shippers do that, but I'm never one to take shipping to that extent, never have, never will. Do I sometimes see things through a shipping lens, sure, but I personally have always viewed shipping as a fun thing and never the focal point of what I consume. For me its story, characters and then shipping. You don't have to believe me, but I just want to put that out there that at the end of the day, to me the story and characters matter most to me for any fiction I consume.
so basically we are not going to be seeing tifa and cloud in the lifestream in part 3 right because that just ruins the game
no, we are only going to be seeing tifa and cloud is what i mean, no other character should be involved in this scene is what this video is about
@@TheLoonyBin ok so are we going to see tifa and cloud together in the lifestream in part 3?
@@TheLoonyBin then why are people saying on the internet that is not going to be tifa it's zack because that doesn't make any sense because zack doesn't know cloud as a kid
yes bec they want it to be and its ridiculous to think zack can help at all. They want zack to have a more prominent role, but hes not needed there. Let him go and reunite with Aerith, thats what he should be focused on
@@RyanOstrowski-eh6ftwell technically he doesn’t need to know cloud as a kid to fulfilled the requirements to restore clouds memory. Zack was in nibelheim 5 years ago and knows the truth that cloud is forgetting. I still don’t see them putting anyone in the ls scene other than tifa. After the big foreshadowing in rebirth and tifa promising to save cloud, it’s pretty obvious that they’re gonna keep that scene with only cloud and tifa. After all it’s monumental for their development.
I feel at most Aerith in spirit form will accompany Tifa for parts of the journey to protect her mind while she's in the life stream. Maybe a special Cetra enchantment that will allow Tifa to spend time there without risk to her health. And the reason I know this could be possible is because Nojima has written a scenario like this before in a canon side story novel for FFVII where he showed Aerith's perspective after she had died and become a spirit in the life stream. But needless to say, I completely agree that it should be Tifa who saves Cloud here. It's easily her best character moment in the entire og game and she's the one who would know him the best out of anyone else in the party.
If you are referring to Maiden, that novella was not written by Nojima
That undermines Cloud's role though. His voice is what pulls her to safety in the OG. He protects her, like he promised. It's all neatly tied together already.
@@talmanes4589 I never said we shouldn't include that.
@@auric187 Sorry. It's still canon though
@@phantomslay5612 it seems maiden has been retconed by Nojima san's traces of two past.ToTP is very much canon, BTW. Besides, Benny himself said it was just his own interpretation, and no one from the og creative team was consulted. SE just wanted to make more money, so they commissioned Benny to write
