    OG is just perfect, with the music and the melancholy of the scene, not being cut by the characters banter, it hits different. In this new version feels like they are puting more emphasis in Cloud's broken mind; and not only that, he can be totally aware of her demise, after all he tells Barret the he "can handle it", that an Red sencing her presence could mean that she's a ghost.

      That's quite an interesting interpretation. I wouldn't be surprised if there's clash of time being involved. Even in the first game there's hint someone or something tried to change the storyline and there's also the ones that protected the original story. If looked from different perspective this alterations would have an interesting outcome.

  • @omegasephirot
    @omegasephirot 2 місяці тому

    I must admit that until the end I somewhat accepted the stuff they added.. but this scene, holy crap.. as many have already pointed out, it's confusing and it lacks of all the emotion the OG transmits. And Cloud reaction is so unnatural, it seems like he doesn't feel anything. Apart from the tears, after the death he is calm, maybe because he can see her? I don't know, but even if that's reason something seems off, maybe because of all the battles between the scenes that dilute the feeling of loss and mourn for Aerith. Another explanation that came to my mind is that Cloud is not 100 % aware of what happened yet because of Sephiroth's influence in his mind.
    In any case, I'm really sad that they decided to skip the water burial scene and the famous Cloud's speech: "Shut up. The cycle of nature and your stupid plan don't mean a thing. Aerith is gone. Aerith will no longer talk, no longer laugh, cry...... or get angry......What about us...... what are WE supposed to do? What about my pain? My fingers are tingling. My mouth is dry. My eyes are burning!"

    in the original it was really beautiful (leaving aside some bullshit like the Seplhiroth without the gloves or the floor that changes) in its being fast, brutal and above all true, the original dialogue between Cloud and Sephiroth is wonderful and obviously in the remake it didn't have to be there put the multiverse/timeline bullshit on

    Even after watching it several times, I think the rebirth version is much better. Rather, the original is so concise that it feels like it's just passing by, but Rebirth at least explained it in detail.
    Even from what I see, most people who say the original is better seem to have strange memory corrections. It's definitely a representative scene from Final Fantasy 7, but it's too concise and feels like it just passed by.
    I think it's nothing but madness to underestimate any touching scene just because the rebirth isn't 1:1 the same as the original. Just like sending toxic tweets to Nojima, it's just madness.
    If the original is good, you just have to stay stuck in the original. The developers of the remake started developing it thinking of it as a sequel, so of course the story and subsequent directing are bound to be different.

      It traumatized generations of players at the time, both young and old, and even more generations in the years after...
      It broken hearts everywhere around the World...
      That moment in the game, introduced countless numbers of younger players to emotions they may have never experienced before..sadness...despair....depression...
      That scene alone managed to scarred gamers so deep, discussions and analysis continued for decades after, and still going...
      The fact the original creators managed to do that in a "concise" and short scene, proves their genius, their deep understanding of that moment AND their respect for their fans' intelligence...

      It didn't "redefine" anything it outright _reimagined_ the original story turning it into a "What If" alternate timeline which could easily pass up as a Dissidia Final Fantasy type storyline where things simply "happen differently" as they originally happened the original game. There ain't no "remake" in this story as far as i'm concerned so i'm sorry but you're wrong in even suggesting as much.

      It did not redefine anything. They used padding, bloated mess of a new story that will end the same way, while also killing the iconic scenes and replacing them with less interesting ones. Threw mystery out of the window by throwing half-assed story segments that should happen later. You fight Sephiroth so many times that the only real threat in this entire game is Cloud's state of mind.
