@@JOEAPPLE007 Correction: Aerith loves Zack and Cloud, Zack loves Aerith and Cloud, Cloud loves Aerith and Zack. Tifa loves Cloud but Cloud is a massive dumdum who can't figure shit out on his own without the help of dead people
please remember; Cloud was classified with "amazing physical strength" as a grunt. 2 Shinra grunts couldn't pull out the Buster Sword, Cloud wields it easily.
not only that, he jumps like 20 feet and lifts/throws Sephiroth after being impaled. there's definitely something special about him even before he was infused with Jenova cells.
Yourboi Zack lol Sephiroth survived somehow getting cut nearly in half, with his spine clearly getting completely split I think he would have somehow survived that 😂
Everyone: Who do you always follow Cloud, Sephiroth? Give the guy a break. Sephiroth: HE STABBED ME IN THE CHEST! For Mother's sake, he literally stabbed me in the chest with a sword that could cut a guy in half with one swing! And then he threw me to my death with my own sword, WHILE HE WAS IMPALED!
It really is a shining moment for Cloud here. Of course, this is all about Zack and how he was able to fight Sephiroth to the point that he did. But considering what twists we got from FF7 and how "Cloud's memories aren't his" or what have you, this shows that Cloud's potential was actually substantial if he was able to not only get an attack off a freshly "gone insane" Sephiroth but also being able to keep fighting back even after getting impaled. In a way, you can say "Cloud legit defeated Sephiroth. " Not permanently, but a win is a win.
I really love how this showed us a glimpse of how strong Cloud would actually become. He got a hit on sephiroth because sephiroth wasn't paying attention but he also managed to chuck him into oblivion after getting impaled through the chest. This was all while being a regular human. Of course, I love Zack in all this too. He managed to beat Genesis and Angeal, two other first classes. Notice how every first class ever has been a soldier enhanced beyond normal means. Genesis may have been degrading so that counts as only half a victory but angeal was powered up by several copies and Zack still beat him. After numerous victories, it makes sense why he managed to hold against sephiroth as long as he did, even pushing him to his full strength if honors report is to be believed.
Cloud may be an infantry grunt, but the fact that he carried the Buster Sword despite not being a SOLDIER, and killed the strongest warrior who had JENOVA’s cell in him; explains how he has a natural talent when it comes to combat in both FF7 and Remake with skills like CROSS-SLASH, CLIMBHAZARD and OMNISLASH. I can see why Sephiroth became petty and really chose to torment Cloud singularly instead of just the planet, or Shinra, or even Hojo...
Some where in the game, it's stated that even before getting the Jenova cells he was a physical power house. There's speculation that the reason he didn't make SOLDIER was because he didn't pass a mental test even though he aced the physical.
Cloud does a jumping overhead swing a lot. Probably as a reference to Braver or as a finisher in Omnislash which would be its natural evolution I guess.
As someone who played ff7cc before the original when I got to this part I seriously wanted to help him somehow I felt just as betrayed as zack in this fight
That's pretty cool. You played this before ff7. I guess that's how the story was meant to be played. To me this particular game will always be apart of my teenage years.
DUDE SAME! The only thing I knew about Sephiroth was what he looked like from Kingdom Hearts. I played Crisis Core cause I saw him on the box, and this part hit me like a truck
same. was exposed to sephiroth in KH then learned more about him from crisis core wanted to help sephiroth as well then played dirge of cerberus which made me want to help him even more lol
was he just following orders though? Sephi burnt Nibelheim, killed and burnt his mother, hurt Tifa and her family.... but for some reason he's not that driven in this scene. was expecting him to promise revenge or whatever. but Cloud killed Sephi nevertheless.
You know, its really scary to have a lot of allies through the whole game, and then you get to this part, were you are the only powerful character to face off against an ultra powerful enemy. No turks, no Angeal, only Cloud miraculously showed up to finish off Sephiroth. This is like Madara Unchiha levels of danger if Sephiroth has won.
@@yaboigamerdouji7573 With probably the most American voice ever lol. A lot different from OG. Always thought that in OG he says "don't push your luck" in a calm matter
I saw people argue that Zack is stronger than Cloud. Here's the truth, Cloud is stronger than Zack by a margin. Cloud defeats God Sephiroth twice, Zack loses to a much weaker Sephiroth pretty easily. Another argument is Zack is a Soldier and Cloud couldn't even be one. In reality, Clouds entire arc is about how he overcomes his own self doubt. Cloud is literally 10x any Soldier but his lack of confidence holds him back. Cloud literally re invented himself after he thought he was a first class Soldier proving he could have easily have been one if he simply believed in himself. Cloud is a perfect clone of Sephiroth. The only person who perfectly mutated witu Jenova's cells and does not suffer from Cellular degradation.
I agree with this 100%. But there’s things you haven’t mentioned. To start, Sephiroth is portrayed to have 3 different strengths in the compilation Pre-FFVII Sephiroth (which is his appearances in Before Crisis and Crisis Core) is the weakest of all three appearances. Then, there’s Sephiroth’s strength in the original FFVII, he’s gotten far stronger than his Pre-FFVII counterpart. Then, there’s Post-FFVII Sephiroth, who is far stronger than his last two counterparts. Zack was able to make a Pre-FFVII Sephiroth fight seriously, but lost when he did. But Cloud, with no materia by the way, was able to easily defeat a serious Kadaj, who had materia in his disposal. In the Reunion Files, Nomura, the director of Advent Children, states that Kadaj is as powerful as FFVII Sephiroth. Here’s the scan btw: imgur.com/a/final-fantasy-vii-advent-children-reunion-files-2006-l0jyhaX Furthermore, in Cloud’s duel against Sephiroth, while they were battling on falling debris, Cloud, while dual-wielding, was temporarily able to match a Post-FFVII Sephiroth blow-for-blow, though the effort strains him. When Cloud matches Post-FFVII Sephiroth temporarily, this prompts the latter to stop smirking and launch Cloud through debris before parrying Omnislash and countering with Octaslash. Honestly, I don't know why people still think that Zack is much more powerful than Cloud smh.
Cloud, at 17, without Mako infusion, can lift the Buster Sword and while fatally wounded, can lift Sephiroth by his sword, who most likely weights similarly to the Buster Sword (depends on what the Buster Sword was made of). He can fall from a height that would kill him AS A SMALL CHILD and come out with just a tiny scratch on his knee or something. He is basically as powerful as, if not more powerful than, 2nd Class Zack or early 1st Class Zack. With Mako, he probably exceeds post Angeal fight 1st Class Zack, maybe even Shinra military fight Zack. You can tell he got absolutely ripped so he could try to get into SOLDIER, considering he is stronger than most of SOLDIER as a Shinra grunt.
5:47 “I’m feeling it” And thus FFVII & Xeno’s legacy would be further tied together. When Shulk said this 3 years later it was only inevitable he’d meet someone inspired by Zack.
Dude, cloud is scary fuckin strong for someone with literally no boosts in strength. No wonder he was able to go toe to toe with Sephiroth after the mako treatment
No matter what Sephiroth does, the true villain of this game is Genesis. It’s because of the person his likeness is based on that FFVII: CC can’t be released digitally or even remastered
True. I wish Gackt or his managers would just let it go already. Then again, if Sakurai managed to convince Disney to include Sora in his game, what's to say Nomura can't do the same to a Japan-only rockstar?
@@siriuslywastaken yeah cloud and zack are equals and the only reason cloud is stronger is because he had time to make his own fighting style with the fusion blade.
Also fair to say that Sephiroth had mad hubris. The only 2 people who could even threaten his existence weren't there. This is a critical reason why Cloud became such a fixation. He produced power that could only be considered a miracle which is why he was experimented on in the first place.
There’s something really wrong about FF7’s story regarding how Cloud had zacks identity and memories. How does mako even make that possible. I think that it’s not mako but Jenova cells in cloud reacting to his desire to become zacks legacy. Sephiroth said that jenova power was the ability to change ones appearance and voice. The thing is I firmly believe that Cloud somehow subconsciously controlled jenova cells and assimilated or absorbed zacks memories. We all know jenova cells are not purely biological since they can even infect the lifestream which is something spiritual in nature.
It is implied that Cloud’s mind was warped by the Jenova cells, and caused him to basically “live” Zack’s memories as his own. Cloud honestly believed everything that Zack experienced alongside him, up until they were experimented on by Hojo, was all his. Besides the normal enhancements, Mako didn’t really affect him, except to give him Mako poisoning and geostigma. At least that’s a theory of mine.
@@chaosjoker5637 But wasn’t mako what gave him super strength? Even thats not explained correctly. How did cloud who got mako injected into him was able to do supernatural freaky things on the level of sephiorth like splitting sky scrapers in half, tank headshots and almost jump 50 meters high without loosing any momentum only a few years later in advent children while all the other soldiers in shinra, even first classes like angeil and genesis did not show such abilities despite training their entire lives? Im not sure but I think Hojo actually did succeed in making a copy of sephiroth in cloud. I mean there’s no other explanation as to how he was able to grow strong enough to defeat post nibelheim sephiroth who merged with jenovas head a few years later.
@@kyzersoze8408 That’s the thing, Cloud, to a certain extent, was a Sephiroth clone. He was still himself, but Hojo’s experiments gave him the properties of a Sephiroth clone. I believe Hojo experimented on Cloud to make another Sephiroth clone, but deemed him a failure because Cloud gained Mako poisoning, and basically left him to die, but we all know how that turned out.

@@chaosjoker5637 The whole Cloud to Sephiroth clone was a big FU from Hojo to Cloud for doing something unforgivable. Kill his most prized science project.
I remember playing this game on my psp as a kid, but never finished it, cuz I sucked at video games at the time. I was stuck in this snow level where I had to go stealth, and never progressed ever since.
Crisis Core is one of the MOST underrated games ever made. Superb voice acting, storyline, and it really showed us how human Sephiroth once was…The FFVII remake isn’t all that great but I’m glad they brought Zack back even if it’s only temporary 😢 I hope we got some Zack and Cloud Mercenary stories 👍🏻
3DArts&Crafts they should have did that too because we’ve already seen Safer Sephiroth and Zack dies permanently Or a harder version of Sephiroth since it’s clear he doesn’t exert his power in this fight Guess they were saving it for a Remake?
Didn't notice this when I was a teen when CC originally came out but Square nerfed masamune blade length by quite a bit on this game if you look carefully. ALL Dissidia games it's incredibly long, somewhere around Kingdom Hearts length more or less. CC looks almost like a normal katana. Why hasn't anyone else pointed out this always altered feature about Sephiroth? Smash Ultimate the newest example has Sephiroth at around Advent Children Complete length which is slightly longer than OG FFVII yet a lot longer from CC.
Now that I think about it… 13:18 If Cloud aimed for his head, everything in FFVII with Sephiroth wouldn’t have happened. The game would’ve been solely based on taking down Shinra
Fun fact: Because of this game, the original, and Advent Children, Cloud is the only Final Fantasy protagonist to defeat the main villain singlehandedly
Thanks for sharing. I wish you could play as Sephiroth also to see the sorts of adventures he was having during days he was working for that evil company Shinra.
Sephiroth just got done fighting Zack, had his back turned and got stabbed with the Buster Sword. That'd probably make him kinda weaker, he just didn't want to lose to a grunt that's why he just doesn't let go.
Zack be like Zack: hol up I got a call from tseng Tseng: is this the end? Zack: I'm trying, I'm trying Sephiroth: trying what, defeat me Zack: no, I'm trying to call attack copter to air strike you Sephiroth: wha- AIR STRIKE LVL4
But Zack blocking Sephiroth's attack without him falling off, And Cloud Gets Stabbed and Instead of Being Ripped Off, He was able to throw Sephiroth, how the hell is that even possible?
mileena kan that’s how Insane Sephiroth became apparently But I suppose from his point of view he was liberating her from being an experiment of Shinra

Yes

@@chaosjoker5637 The whole Cloud to Sephiroth clone was a big FU from Hojo to Cloud for doing something unforgivable. Kill his most prized science project.
Nerd
9:27 My Head: is he about to use Bankai? ...nah he doesn't need it.
We need a ff7 crisis core remake...
Do you want to see that end again in HD?
I bet FFVII Remake will have some of the key elements from CC later on
With ghost plot ?
We have it!!
Wish granted
i hate it when games developers dont show hp bars from enemies
You can equip special materia ( Libra) or some items that shows you HP and status of enemy
Same. I just rock with the music until it ends.
That damn fight with genesis had me going crazy. It would never end
Even though sephiroth is a major asshole, I do feel kinda bad for him
If he was never sent on this mission in nibelheim, none of this would have happened
@@hammskie05 yes. Sephiroth was a kind and good person before he turn insane
You know.... As smart as Sephiroth is, you'd think he'd let go of the sword or something.....
i was thinking the same thing lmao. but for plot reasons he didnt. hes probably shocked with clouds strength and too tired to think straight
13:04 what’s is the score to this theme? It’s so freakishly haunting and suspenseful
It's called The Prelude To Destruction
I remember playing this game on my psp as a kid, but never finished it, cuz I sucked at video games at the time. I was stuck in this snow level where I had to go stealth, and never progressed ever since.
Yeah the OG, this is still the best.
15:08 Is this the pain you felt before Cloud?
Yeah, Lifting Cloud With A Long Katana (it's like you can stab someone in the other country)
Cloud: Tis' But a Scratch
@Unknown Gamer Of course i know that was from advent children i just was reminding...
Damn sephiroth is still in one piece after stabbing with buster sword in which its width is bigger than his waist
The Thing Is, How The Hell Is Still His Hair Intact? It was never cutted off.
@@fushiguromegumi1814 The Jenova cells are so good, It's DNA can be made into wicked hair gel.
Crisis Core is one of the MOST underrated games ever made. Superb voice acting, storyline, and it really showed us how human Sephiroth once was…The FFVII remake isn’t all that great but I’m glad they brought Zack back even if it’s only temporary 😢 I hope we got some Zack and Cloud Mercenary stories 👍🏻
Wait a minute Sephiroth just cut some of zacks hair off🤣
The og voices are still the best of the best
This game is so emotional... I'm sure many will agree that this is one of the best FF ever made 😸
I hope this part is playable in the FF7R Part 2!
@4:56 Sephiroth got Infinity Stones.😅
It's crazy that Zack faced Genesis, Angeal, and Sephiroth and beat 2 out of 3 of them.
I wish they made an optional Minerva like Sephiroth battle. Something really difficult to get how powerful this guy really is.
3DArts&Crafts they should have did that too because we’ve already seen Safer Sephiroth and Zack dies permanently
Or a harder version of Sephiroth since it’s clear he doesn’t exert his power in this fight
Guess they were saving it for a Remake?
he gets a power boost after being thrown into the lifestream
Didn't notice this when I was a teen when CC originally came out but Square nerfed masamune blade length by quite a bit on this game if you look carefully.
ALL Dissidia games it's incredibly long, somewhere around Kingdom Hearts length more or less. CC looks almost like a normal katana. Why hasn't anyone else pointed out this always altered feature about Sephiroth?
Smash Ultimate the newest example has Sephiroth at around Advent Children Complete length which is slightly longer than OG FFVII yet a lot longer from CC.
Imagine if Sephiroth was a mako enhanced elite soldier magic user and knew how to use cure.
Would have been useful.
It’s weird to see Sephiroth blink. 😅
How?
Did anyone ever try timing the music with that final cutscene? Just me, okay?
The sync on 11:52 is some of the most metal shit i've seen on final fantasy as a whole
Now that I think about it… 13:18
If Cloud aimed for his head, everything in FFVII with Sephiroth wouldn’t have happened. The game would’ve been solely based on taking down Shinra
It's like that one Avengers meme: "you should've aimed for the head."
Fun fact: Because of this game, the original, and Advent Children, Cloud is the only Final Fantasy protagonist to defeat the main villain singlehandedly
FFXIII and FFXIV say hi
15:17
Can someone explain to a newcomer how Cloud overpowered Sephiroth here?
Rage from killing his mother and destroying his town
Our man saw a Twix bar in the lab and knew what his snack was gonna be afterwards.
After X years i jest realized they sing "Sephiroth" in his song lol. Big ego dude
“Big brain” lol
Nothing is more satisfying than when the song says "SEPHIROTH" and the Buster Sword hits the floor towards the end.
I never understood the concept of the power surges/ roulette system. Was it all by luck?
Yes, it's luck fueled. The developers have admitted that they were inspired by Pachinko machines.
Yes, But I usually spam X whenever I got the three paired lol
Not luck. Just press the X BUTTON repeatedly.
Sephiroth should’ve let go when cloud picked him up from masamune
Remastered on the way!
Thanks for sharing. I wish you could play as Sephiroth also to see the sorts of adventures he was having during days he was working for that evil company Shinra.
He survived on Impaled by Sephiroth and hurl her to the pit of lifestream
This game looks amazing I really want to play it for myself
Same.
It's crisis core, you can emulate it on pc
It a hand head PSP game.
I just noticed for the first time that Jenova's brain is showing.
They didn't put in the best Cloud quote when he stabbed Sephiroth:
"My mom, Tifa, the town...give them back."
Coming here after learning that Crisis Core is getting released for modern consoles in 2022!! Can't wait to get it on PS5 and maybe even Switch!
I miss this game so much.
Final fantasy 7 crisis core is the best game I've ever played till now it my favorite game I love this game so much 😍👌🏼
Is anyone gonna talk about that move sephiroth used at 5:01 that's basically representing the crystals of final fantasy 1? No? K
"Do ya get it? Do ya get it?! Sephiroth used to be a hero!" was and still is Square's not-so-subtle mantra about Sephiroth :U
*ACTIVATING COMBO MODE*
How was Cloud able to throw off Sephirot using his own sword 0:?
Limit break!
Limits are meant to be broken
Plot armor
Sephiroth just got done fighting Zack, had his back turned and got stabbed with the Buster Sword.
That'd probably make him kinda weaker, he just didn't want to lose to a grunt that's why he just doesn't let go.
@@boxtupos7718 Nah, He was perfectly after Cloud stabbed him, stop making excuses.
Using the enemy's Octa Slash against Him what a badass hahaha
Who else laugh hard at 4:05 😂🤣😂
Zack be like
Zack: hol up I got a call from tseng
Tseng: is this the end?
Zack: I'm trying, I'm trying
Sephiroth: trying what, defeat me
Zack: no, I'm trying to call attack copter to air strike you
Sephiroth: wha-
AIR STRIKE LVL4
Calamity of the Sky and The Nemesis of the Cetras that brings death on the Solar System
Rick Gomez all the way!
What a fantastic fucking game. I still have my psp and crisis core. I replay it every year or so.
prefer og voices vs reunion
Such a fantastic underrated game
i wonder how was sepiroth body doesnt split after stabed with buster sword
But Zack blocking Sephiroth's attack without him falling off,
And Cloud Gets Stabbed and Instead of Being Ripped Off, He was able to throw Sephiroth, how the hell is that even possible?
Lol you know the first fight was only phase one with the lack of One-Winged Angel.
the way he falls down the stairs 😭
CLOUD:
Return my mother... Tifa... and my village! I respected you... and admired you, but... You bastard!!
1:42 i crave violence
This game looks incredible for à psp game, better than most ps2 games
Who in the world will be carrying there mom's head
mileena kan that’s how Insane Sephiroth became apparently
But I suppose from his point of view he was liberating her from being an experiment of Shinra
Jenova however can live without its head.
Sephiroth.
Sephiroth apparently, also Mathieu Bellamont.
the world enemy
13:41 Cloud cut him in half haha
I came here to see if Sephiroth's death scene is as silly as it was in the original game. Turns out it still is.
