5/5/2023 0 Comments Final fantasy vii remake 2![]() Cloud even says Sephiroth’s plan from the original game immediately before this text appears. The Rebirth trailer asks, “What is Sephiroth’s Endgame?” This should be obvious, though. Sephiroth also alludes to the events of the original game, telling Cloud that he “is too weak to save anyone.” Both Aerith and Sephiroth act in ways that suggest knowledge of future events. In this same scene, Cloud experiences a hallucination of Sephiroth, something not in the original. This hints at Aerith having some sort of knowledge of her history with Cloud, something she could only know if she had some insight into her past life as it is portrayed in the original Final Fantasy. Those who play the original will know that Aerith and Cloud have a romantic relationship, although it is one that never gets fully resolved due to tragic circumstances. “Lovers used to give these when they were reunited,” she says. During the Remake, the two cross paths like in the original, but this time Aerith offers Cloud a flower. Nothing much transpires between the two, and they won’t meet again until Cloud falls into her church later. In the original FF7, Aerith and Cloud have a passing meeting immediately following the first bombing mission. The culprit? Aerith.Īerith is hiding knowledge of the past. There have been hints laid out like breadcrumbs in FF7 Remake that show somebody is going through this story with more information than they let on, information gained from living this story before as it was intended. So how can this past event be changed? Well, because it is somebody’s future. By the time both variations of FF7 begin, he is dead. Zack’s story and demise are very much in the past. This is where things get complicated, even by Final Fantasy standards. The Rebirth trailer opens with Aerith saying as much: “The future, even if it has been written, can be changed. The Arbiters push the story of Remake as much as possible to follow the original, but with them vanquished, anything is possible. This change in fate is only shown to the player after the last fight in Remake, which is against the Arbiters of Fate, which represent the strict path of the original FF7. Zack still fights the Shinra soldiers but survives. At the end of Remake, however, this same scene plays out. In the original, Zack dies fighting to protect Cloud. This is where the stories begin diverging and playing off each other. ![]() For a long stretch of in-game time, Cloud has amnesia and mistakenly remembers some of Zack’s experiences as his own.Īfter Cloud and Zack are experimented on by Hojo, they are confronted by a massive group of Shinra soldiers before re-entering the city of Midgar. Cloud finally remembering Zack is an integral part of the original’s character development for Cloud, something that doesn’t occur until much later in the game. ![]() Where are you? What happened to you?” He’s speaking (perhaps rhetorically) to Zack Fair, the SOLDIER who was at Cloud’s side before he showed up back in Midgar before the beginning of the original FF7 as well as FF7 Remake. In the reveal trailer, Cloud says, “You were here with me, 5 years ago.
