@@mondaysman5253 same difference

​@decayedphoenix8865 why edit it then if you're so sure of yourself?

Im not into waifus and hentai but Aerith is like the most beautiful fictional character ever created by so much and she's not wearing revealing or tight clothing she's just bubbly and fun and a pleasure to be around, I've dated a few innocent but headstrong intelligent girls like her before and lost em 😭 everytime I hear her tease cloud my heart aches 😅

Doing something youre scared of is the definition of courage lol

what can he do?

How does he know? in the real story he can't even remember fighting Sephiroth and has no idea about the one winged angel. Come to think of it in the original story Barret had a brain and was more interested in fighting Shinra than Sephiroth or walking in some random portal. The new game is very dumb. Very very dumb.

​@Musician7831 in the real story he absolutely remembers killing sephiroth. Who the hell said he didn't? Because by both Zack, and clouds point of view, they both defeated sephiroth to the best of their knowledge. Also, the extended story very clearly shows every original 1st class SOLDIERS had wings. His was the black one. This game includes all side content over the years.

Don't hesitate to celebrate every achievement, no matter how small.

Not really, there was no build up or any skilful story telling. If it didn't have fandom this game would be panned as ridiculous.

@@Musician7831 That's because it doesn't need to, the story is already written and is known, but it's changing now. This remake is genuinely a remake of history, Sephiroth and Aerith already know their fates and are now trying to change it. Final Fantasy has always been different because it's always been trying to innovate, no game in the main franchise is similar to the other, look at that.

@@shanicultima9104 You'll find that the remade story is terrible. Good luck to you.

@@shanicultima9104 Just because a story is written, doesn't mean all the characters in the story suddenly know the story.Anyway I don't care anymore I'm no longer invested in squareenix. I can find far better art out there. I can just play the old superior game and play ff6 ff4 and ff5 ( in my opinion 1-3 are'nt amazing).

​@@Musician7831 No, Sephiroth and Aerith know of their fates because of their connection to the Lifestream and now they are trying to change that fate. It is literally what was described. Understanding, you have your standards and choices, no one can define that but yourself (neither did I need to state this)

Right.

Well said.

Wait, so basically the Harry Potter treatment?? Neither can live while the other survives??

That's not true, though. The opposite is true, in fact. Sephiroth tied his existence to Cloud's during the events of Lifestream: Black. That's what his "nor will I have you end" statement means - as long as Cloud lives, Sephiroth has a way to come back. It's not that one or the other must die, Sephiroth has locked himself into the stalemate that _he can never kill Cloud_ but also that Cloud CAN kill him, just not permanently.

​​@@CrashSableno. It means they are God and satan, masculine and feminine energy. They were always tied. The darkness and the light. The two have been and always will be. All life shares them. They were there fighting at the beginning of creation for a reason. This is literally what freemasons do. Y'all need to wake up fr.

Agreed. I felt this end was such an acid trip

Completely agree. He's literally time traveled from disc 3 to disc 1 and your whole party is way too underleveled for this, but you have to survive anyway. It's, to steal that one UKpostsr's words, "so RAHWWww"

Sephiorth and vergil

​@@lynxregions6724ah yes vergil sephiroths other clone

Won't speak for every video game but Kefka Palazzo is better; Dancing Mad.

Sephiroth is one of thw most famous one, but as a villain he didn't do anything espectacular Fucked up the already fucked up psyche if Cloud( he was mako poisoned and thought himself Zack) killed a girl, burned a small town, killed president shinra and that's it. Killing Shinra and Aerith was not even him but Jenova. Compare that to Kefka from FF6 who killed many via watwr poisoning. Killed minions, killee his own emperor. Killed thousands when he became the god of magic and his death meant the death of all magical life including the main character whose fate is unknown

@@Yokai_Yuri for me sephiorth is so much better

It's also a dual reference since he does the same thing in Dissidia 012 whenever you call out the Aerith assist when fighting against him

@@kaihedgie1747 Yeah, Sephiroth also spams the Hell's Gate attack on Aerith in Dissidia, each time that you calls her for assist.

@@josecuestas7246 Sephy the troll 🤣🤣🤣

@@hortinus XD

Damn thats messed up

I think that has less to do with Sephiroth being so strong and more to do with the fact that he knows what Cloud can do at this point. We're not just dealing with the OG Sephiroth. We're dealing with one that has lived through all of this already. He knows Cloud inside and out, his strengths and weaknesses, which buttons to push. When you consider that, its little wonder why Sephiroth was able to fend off Cloud so easily.

Reminds me of FF12. So glad they returned to that system.

@@breadandcircuses8127 It allows for both action gamers and old school turn based gamers to play in completely different ways allowing for both types of players, who are extremely opposite of each other can enjoy the game the same amount. It's fucking astounding. They actually worked the formula out after like 20 years of trying. An example would be an action player using the built in shortcuts they have and also learning the menu and scrolling through it at lightning speed and confirming their abilities at just the right time. The old school turn based guys are taking their time with each and every attack and command and using the built in slow motion to their advantage to think things through in a quick moving situation and build their strategies. The combat is also deep and has a lot of combos that are freaking crazy. Aerith is the best in the game hands down which I personally think is cool.

It's an interesting take but I would say it's not better than hack n slash games, somehow it still feels like the original but it's different at the same time, I can't explain that feeling.

*descends. Ascension is rising to/above & descension is to fall from above.

Bro threw buildings at them while he was descending. Idk how chill that is. Lol

Original was better

@@RIELTURO Still can't conclude that as we're only able to play the first part of the story in the remake. The ghost area is a bit dragging tho. I don't understand the reason for making the ghost chapter 2 dungeons and not just 1. The solar lamp things too is just so dragging. Chapter 9 was awesome but I wish they cut it into two chapters because that chapter is longer than some 3 chapters combined. Aside from those things, I think the remake is pretty good. I like how they bring elements from other FF7 games into the remake, especially the guys from the main Avalanche unit looking straight up from Before Crisis.

@@bukojoetheslapsoils8273 they lost me with the parallel universe plot at the end

@@terrellking5119 I played FF8 as a kid and loved it, then I replayed it last year, as a 28-year old adult with formal studies in writing and literature. That was surely the worst writing in all of FF mainline games. FF16 story looks like a masterpiece when played right after FF8.

story was altered coz it is a sequel and treat it this way. square was just kind enough to desingned it the way as we played original game so we can relive our nostalgia, but by the end of 3rd instalment it will be clear , this was part 2 to the orignal 1997 game

We dont even know if this is even Sephiroth at this point, so I don't know what you're going on about.

​@@elizabethchint2391this is the memory sephiroth that cloud and the gang killed in the original ff7 and sequel games and movies. Hes lured the group into killing destiny so that he can change the time line. The normal sephiroth from the remakes timeline hasnt debuted yet.

​@@theprinceofallsaiyans_vegitaI'm not dumb but I never played the original so I'm confused a lil bit but what do u mean? Elaborate if u don't mind my guy cause I seen advent child when I was a teen but why does sephiroth keeps coming back after being defeated by Cloud and how is this the same sephiroth from the original timeline and not the remake sephiroth?

@@ldariusd21because this sephiroth dodged and deflected cloud’s omni slash, since he was killed by it in the original, also has knowledge of things the remake party doesn’t aside from aerith which can be attributed to the life stream. This is essentially a seph replaying ff7 again on new game plus. It’s def advent sephiroth

@@elizabethchint2391 I think the game highly implies the Sephiroth and Aerith in this game are the same ones from the original FF7; Aerith knows things she normally shouldn't (like Cloud claiming to be a mercenary) and Sephiroth urging Cloud's party to defeat the arbiters, thus freeing the world from fate. As a result, this new world is full of possibilities, including the possibility of Sephiroth winning.

What do u mean?

Eh? Are you floating?

@@ldariusd21there's 2 sephiroths in the remake, the sephiroth you fight in the game is memory sephiroth, the one from the original, he already has his wing, and wants clouds body to regenerate himself, a frequent tactic used by sephiroth in the originals sequel games and movie.

@@theprinceofallsaiyans_vegita There are 2 versions of the story: The good one and the new terrible one.

Basically he degrading like G now

I dont think Holy worked because she died, I think it worked in spite of her death. The whole point in killing her supposed to be keeping Holy from working, that's why cloud was possessed to kill her but it didn't work, so Sephiroth had to finish the job himself. But he was too late, her prayer was already heard and granted.

@@jameson2916 Either way and either case: She will not die in this remake, Something about her dying and not dying will change the outcome of something. this Sephiroth we met over the course of FF remake CLEARLY has knowledge about events he should not have because they have "not happened yet" Sephiroth said it his self he would "not become a memory" in Advent children, either this Sephiroth is from later in the time line or, is getting visions/memory's from that time line - Again perfect example he blocked clouds Omi-slash: while maybe the "proto" version of it, he still blocked every single attack with ease which means he knows about the move: when he should have no idea about it.

@@synngames5446 Yea I definately agree that these are two different "timelines" and Sephiroth is the catalyst between them somehow. I dont think hes from another timeline or anything though because then we would still have the original timeline's sephiroth as well, but there seems to be only one. It's more like the original sephiroth has somehow tapped into a, like you said, future knowledge or something. I'm curious how it plays out. 👍

No, just no

@@felipesantos-er4kk there is always a critic. bruh have u seen the remakes lately? resident evil is a good one but rockstar was a disaster.

​@@jonesnicholosThe lack of blocking or even just dodging in this fight on Sephiroth's part is very lackluster though. It'd be much better as a more dynamic fight. At the very least, it could've been as intense as the Sephiroth fight in Kingdom Hearts 2.

You know he’s not real right?

this game sells in milions of copies and is mainly story driven, so they had to make it casual friendly so every kid and girl can stream it on twitch. u saw how ppl raged on sekiro while streaming? if they done this kind of game, they would sell maybe 50k copies

@@fenrisbutcher7343sekiro only had one difficulty setting tho (technically could increase difficulty with debuffs). Next FF should have sekiro-style difficulty/combat as an option and then a games journalist difficulty level for everyone else.

@@ShittyMcPoopyBalls i mean, thats basicly why ppl played all kinds of challanges (no materia, no itemes, no limits etc) over the years with every other FF - creativity was ur only limitation for setting ur own difficulty. yes its technicly doable for devs to make couple difficulty modes, but it would probably cause even longer devolopment/testing time , which already is massive.

@@fenrisbutcher7343 we’re mostly talking about sekiro style combat, not difficulty, sorry for the confusion. Tactical mode disabled and precision-parries wouldn’t be impossible to implement alongside the standard gameplay

If he blocked a lot we would never kill him😅

Perhaps Sephiroth was holding back, because if you observes, you can note that Sephiroth wasn't fighting seriously, he was more like toying with the heroes, meaning that Sephiroth wasn't trying hard to crush them.

@@Charliestrife01 The creators basically confirm that he never fight serious against Cloud.

I know the creators specifically stated. However it’s quite obvious😂 he’s left handed but used his right hand when fighting Cloud. If Sephiroth is serious, this will be an extremely one sided battle.

They already did

@@PrasantaDas-zm4jzThat was not a remake. It’s just an HD remaster.

​@@chicoguapo586it is a remake it looks 100 times better than the psp game and they used remakes assets for it. A remake can also be just 1 o 1

I remember my first playthrough in the original, there's a spot before you fight jenova synthesis where you fall down a ledge and couldn't go back. Atleast I couldn't find a way. I didn't know that before I jumped and only had that single save file so when I saved down there it was too late. I was way unprepared in terms of items, level, etc. at the time and I was young with no internet or anything for tips so it was super hard. I had to fight all the mini bosses and finally got to Jenova synthesis, after some tries I finally got past her too. A part of me was hoping that was it, because it was so hard at the time. Especially after going through the northern crater and having to refight the miniboss dracozombies or whatever before fighting her. Then here comes this huge ass bizzaro Sephiroth and I'm like fml 😂 every time I died I had to start all the way over through jenova and all that. Finally I figured it out and barely surving I pulled out a win and I was so excited I finally fuckin beat him. Game Over. Then... that infamous OWA music and God of destruction Sephiroth came. I was so distraught and in awe at the same time. He literally cooked my ass.. I just stared at my save file on the loading screen thinking of what all I had done to get here, for what seemed like forever, then finally just said F it and went to new game 😂

Yeah the Superman voice was great.

Yeah, i read that this is one of the theories about the cryptic commentary of Sephiroth. Even, this could speculates that the reason to that Sephiroth said it to Cloud, was to sabotage his own murder attempt of Aerith, to prevent that she can return to the Planet and become a greater threat in the Lifestream.

It's a refrence to the seven chakras that align the spine. The seventh represents the all seeing eye. God. It's literally from mythology that was rewritten into the biblical stories. The two are actually one. He basically came through a purple vag clothed in the sun. This represents the darkness before the light, greeks called it chaos. That's why they fought at the beginning of creation and why he basically said they were always there. The divine feminine had a virgin birth of the divine masculine. The ancient mystery schools compared this all to the darkness within before the light. Natural man into spiritual. This has been butchered by the Vatican and the creation of the big bang. This is the story that made them all. It's present in our tv shows, games, and movies. It doesn't matter what country rewrites this story, underneath they hid this code for their initates. It's the world's greatest secret gaurded by royals passed down through freemasonry. The truth is the world is run by a global cult. There's a religion behind them all... and we've all been misled by it. They lied to us all. These two are God and Satan. The light and darkness that resides within us all. That's the tree of life at 10:44. Fyi.

​​​​@@josecuestas7246all the characters are one. It's sexual alchemy. Seven chakras align the spine. 5 number of man. 6 is like the sixth sense. The seven can only remain a short time before the eighth, in this case seph returns. The woman, ishtar, sits on seven hills. The seven deadly sins clog the seven hills. Opening causes the biblical flood, becoming one with the universe. Merging with it completely. You can thank the people with aprons over their crotches for all the confusion.
