Why do you tell lies? Dialogue from Aerith's death
>......first off, it bothered me how you looked exactly alike. >Two completely different people, but look exactly the same. >The way you walk, gesture... >I think I must have seen him again, in you... >But you're different. >Things are different. >Cloud... >I'm searching for you.
>Cloud >............?
>Aeris >I want to meet you.
>Cloud >But I'm right here.
>Aeris >(I know, I know...what I mean is...) >I want to meet...you.
>nooo it's not because he's like Zack...it's because.......she just does okay! he's like goofy or whatever?
meanwhile with Tifa
>imprinted on her at a young age >the only good looking boy in her town >"I'll give him the frick me eyes every day" >"will he really become my knight? I think I love him" >thinks about him every day after he leaves >waits for him to return >he saves you from death, twice >he disappears again >see him again after 5 years, bumbling and drooling >still looks like a stud despite being a moron >he jumps back to life just at the sight of you
Look, you can think whatever you want, the truth is Aerith opened up Cloud's closed shell more than Tifa ever could. Tifa had to pull his teeth out whenever they wanted to talk
After a whole ass game of Aerith helping him out and Tifa struggling in the first one. Cloti is most likely canon anyways but without Aerith she'd still be struggling

ohnonononono Aerithxirs.....what are they going to figure out?????? QUICK DEPLOY THE LIFESTREAM JENOVA GHOST!
The both have similar childhoods that involve loneliness and the desire to belong. Cloud is also a sweet guy underneath it all despite living in a world as cruel as Gaia.
The wonder of writing YA fiction is that you don't need a bunch of barriers and hoops to jump through to ship two characters
They aren't jaded towards love and relationships and fall in love fast
She probably just thought he was a cute when they first met and his similarities to Zack made her take notice of him. But over time she began to realize the soldier persona wasn't the real him and she became more interested in the real person Cloud was hiding or at least was buried
But that proves my point, she never got to meet the real Cloud, just the one that thought he was Zack, before she died.
Her interest in him came from him mixing himself up with Zack.
Good, Tifa is an absolute downer cuck with no agency. All she has going for her is being ridiculously, inimitably hot like holy SHIT what a goddamn piece of ass FUUUUUUUUUUUCK. In every other way Aerith has her not just beaten but pummelled into the dirt and filled in with concrete
I can’t believe this b***h stole OUR water tower scene, Tifabros… That was OUR special moment… If she gets a scene under the Highwind next game it’s so fricking over bros…
I think the funniest shit about the water tower drama is how moronic shippers said it was an awful scene and how aerith was rude to cloud then nojima said in the ultimania how it was one of his favorite scenes of the whole game.
2 of the options are for tifa and 1 is cloud scolding aerith.

CC also expanded some Cloud x Tifa. But my point was CC is the most canon lovers relationship you'll get out of FF7 franchise. They'll never confirm Zerith or Clerith or Cloti after that, even if we're going back to the AC status quo

This feels like mental gymnastics because if you take the gongola date aerith straight up says she wants to be with cloud now. The fact she dated zack years before becomes irrelevant. In general, your proved the whole point, the only reason why they were even canon at one moment is exaclty because it ended. So they never had to commit to anything.

But i also agree that he will probably get a heartfelt moment because he needs some resolution with Aerith.

That Cloud effectively is a corpse. I believe there is only one conscious Cloud overall, even if there are infinite bodies.
The Cloud from Terrier was OUR Cloud, because Remake's Beagle turned into Terrier and Cloud left through the edge of creation. Zack is from Beagle and his Cloud is effectively a corpse created as the result of each world needing him to exist.

My argument is that Cloud transfers his mind between bodies, so it doesn't matter if Zack's Cloud never met Aerith. Cloud met Aerith in another timeline and if that Cloud were to ever wake up, he would just have the mind and memories of our Cloud exactly like he did in the date world.

There is no logic, the truth is that they're terrified that in the HA version Cloud straight up looks at her face directly and confirms he wants to create more memories with her and go to more dates.
tifa letting broken cloud rape her hot, cloud imaging her as aerith even hotter, tifa is just warm wet meat while the image of aerith is the actual love when cloud refocuses and realizes he is fricking tifa his dick immediately goes limp and that breaks tifas heart
I didn’t like that part. When she climbed up there I wanted to skip it, but eventually you have to. >Hey Cloud! Want to go to that special place Tifa talks about and make our own memories?
Clueless or b***h? At least she’s dead.
From my understanding, it's mostly about the dialogue choices made with each character. When they ask you to respond in 1 of 3 ways.
There are other, more binary, choices like matching Cloud's beachwear wiih Aerith and/or Tifa, who you decide to assist in Costa Del Sol. Selecting the Mine Car route for Barret or Yuffie.
Completing side quests that heavily involve one of your party members will also improve your relationship with them.
Once you beat the game and are able to replay parts through Chapter Select there are Extra Options to directly choose who will accompany you, so it's not difficult to get everybody.
they literally show you relationship meters in the game. its not even like the original where it was hidden and getting barret and yuffie were eastereggs for those who really went out of their way
Don't care what Ultimania says. Don't care what the devs say. Don't care "optional". Cloud kissed Tifa, didn't kiss anybody else, it's in the game.
they don't have an answer.
>nooo it's not because he's like Zack...it's because.......she just does okay! he's like goofy or whatever?
meanwhile with Tifa
>imprinted on her at a young age >the only good looking boy in her town >"I'll give him the frick me eyes every day" >"will he really become my knight?

I can understand that since Remake is the first act of a three act story so it’s the part where the characters tend to get to know each other and fall in love. By Rebirth they’re already in love so it’s mostly wheel spinning until part 3 which is the climax of any love story.
legal for the majority of earth
so sit the frick down and watch if you want
legal for me as well but morally frowned upon to the point that only my best friend would still talk to me afterwards and probably only to tell me to seek help
>the end has the sound of children’s laughter like the original >but this time it’s aerith and cloud’s kids laughing out of frame
How kino would this be?
Nah. I just started the game today so I will make threads.
Nibelheim part was remade almost perfectly. The only thing that annoys me is that Sephiroth came to conclusion (by himself) that he was also a man-made, while in original it was Cloud/Zack who asked him ''Are you different?'' after which Sephy had a meltdown.
I'm still not sure if I like this multiverse direction, and who the frick were ''Zack'' and ''Cloud'' at the beginning, but we'll see.
What utterly dumbfounds me is when hardcore Clerith’s use this “argument” that Aerith “should not and is not bound to Zack”… That it’s a sexist objectification that Aerith is “Zack’s property”… But apparently they’re obsessed with Cloud being HER property???
I'm more curious about the scene in Remake.
Tifa: ''I have to ask you for a favor. I want you to go to a bar called Seventh Heaven...''
Aerith: ''...and pick up Marlene, right?''
How the frick did she know? There's no point at which Tifa tells her that Marlene is in the bar, as far as I know.
because she has OG memories in her White materia. She loses them after fight against destiny (she can still kinda understand something bad will happen to her(like red does) but she doesn't have true future knowledge).
Yeah, I asked the same question few days ago and some anon claimed that it's possible that ''a ghost'' possessed her at the beginning, hence why she knows the outcome in the future. Also, Cloud had some of those visions after he came into contact with Aerith.
I'm still early in Rebirth but I have a feeling that I will end the game with more questions than answers.
Whole game hints at Aerith and Sephiroth knowing more than they should. That's why the sequel theory is popular. They are the two entities who can travel the lifestream as individuals in one of the novels.
I really really REALLY want to see underwater scenes and explore underwater areas. If those are not in Rebirth (I'm still early in the game so I dunno) I hope they'll be in the next game.
>it is currently unclear whether the woman is still alive, coming from the Lifestream, or just an illusion seen by Cloud.
AHHHHHHH I FRICKING KNEW THAT SHIT WAS JENOVA MOTHERFRICKERS!
AINT NO FRICKING MAXIMILIAN THEORY! THAT SHIT IS CLEARLY FRICKING JENOVAERITH! SHE USED LIFECLINGER ON CLOUD!

You used sephiroth whispers to open whisper portal. He needed cloud to block the masamune so it would create a new world to merge.
It's not really a debate if people just paid attention to what sephiroth is saying and how cloud is acting, but alas people create wild headcanons that ignoring what happens in the game

good morning sir'd the frick out of myself on that one with auto post shit.
I call bullshit on that one
Sephiroth confluenced the worlds and it showed Aerith number 2 slump over and "die". Because she was occupying the same world as her dead self. But when he cleaves the worlds apart again and Cloud returns from the edge of creation or wherever the frick they were, and Aerith Prime disappears again and holds Clouds hand and doesn't let go, he simultaneously buries her in the water and DOESN'T bury her in the water? and we are supposed to believe that the rainbow bit we saw where she was still alive is REAL and equally matters to the plot despite all of our party experiencing her death as in the OG
Cloud is somehow speaking to the B world Aerith?
If B world Aerith is alive, then why can't B world party see her?
If B world Aerith is alive, then why doesn't she fly in B world Bronco?
it's not presented like she is glitching in and out, like he's watching her interact with the others who SEE her. only HE sees her. it's no B timeline slipping through.
It's a complete and utter illusion. Sephiroth tells him so.
With the flick of the Masamune he can cleave Cloud's world asunder and separate him from his loved one, even if he manages to save her in some other world.

They never got past the “family of friends phase in AC/DoC, so what do you think? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like this bullshit either, but unless SE suddenly finds the balls to really shake up things at the end, the outcome will probably be the same.
Man i imagine how the lore schizos who look every fricking bit of info see this because the game is telegraphing a reunion at the end so hard but they want to ignore it.

The same as they do with loveless. They analyse every bit of it but ignore the last talk between Cloud and Aerith because it bothers them.
>autist can’t take a bit of playful ribbing
Regifting a gift is generally considered a faux pas and poor manners, which you would know if you weren’t a basement dweller.
>Aerith/Cloud reunion >Genesis & Angeal retrieving Sephiroth’s sanity >whatever the frick is going on with Weiss
Anything else they’ve been cooking for the last 20 years?
I dont know about the second one lol
But they are also hinting since kh2 that cloud and sephiroth are the "same thing". Sephiroth literally says "i'm you" to Cloud. And that Tifa is the one who helps him, probably related to the way she helps him in the lifestream scene.
In general it is hilarious how much things like spinoffs and side games were hinting at major plot points of the remake project. And yeah the whole reunion with aerith thing is the one mentioned the most.
The second one was recently heavily hinted in Opera Omnia, and it’s wild. >Sephiroth is still affected by his memory of them, to the point he had tried to discard these memories in the Lifestream, but it didn’t quite work >Sephiroth confirms that their memory of him would “destabilize” him, so he must get rid of them >Angeal and Genesis still care about him (in Genesis’s case we’ve known this since CC and CC Ultimania) and want the old Sephiroth back >Sephiroth really did lose his shit mainly because they left him (apparently partly because they didn’t want to drag him into their shameful mess - great job, morons)
I’d be very surprised if Return doesn’t do something with this.
What fricks me up is how accurate these things are even when they've happened more than 10 years before the project even started. Cloud is holding the fricking white materia in this pic. frick.
don't post Tifa in Kingdom Hearts 2 nope just mention how he'd like to see Goddess Aerith again just like he says at the very end of Final Fantasy VII when Tifa says "let's meet her together" obviously alluding to them joining the Lifestream together (dying together)

OG white materia is pale green, which is why I am hoping the white materia in Rebirth is really something else for some sort of clever twist.
IIRC in OG Bugenhagen and the party are surprised when it glows green in the spirit hologram of Aerith’s death, because it means she had activated it. Apparently it’s white/pale green normally when it’s inactive.

You are correct. In the OG the White Materia is just white. It glows a pale green when the user successfully communicates with the Planet.
>Bugenhagen >Speak to the planet. >Get the White Materia... This will bond the Planet to humans. >Then speak to the planet. >If our wish reaches the planet, the White Materia will begin to glow a pale green.

Aeris' words came into my dreams... >She said, she was the only one who could stop Sephiroth...... And to do that, there was a secret here... >That was Holy......

I should have figured this out sooner.
What's interesting is that the implication is that White Materia isn't expressly meant to summon Holy. It's purpose is to put people in communication with the Planet and that person can pray for Holy. Afterwhich the Planet makes a decision on who lives or dies after Holy is fired.

>noooooo Barrett you can't just toss around President Shinra and terrify him! >nooooo Cloud you can't just kill the Turks like that...! Forget Sector 7 and the multiple times they almost killed you
>Cloud you can't just kill the Turks like that
This was one of the most egregious things I saw in Rebirth. Its not like they were on good term or anything. Its not like there would be no honor in it or whatever cliché nonsense Japanese writers make up. The Turks are straight up murderers.
This is kind of a knock on effect of AC. In FF7 there's no indication that Cloud and friends actually forgave the Turks. Either they choose not to get in a fight, work with them to find Yuffie and by extension Elena, or the Turks escape before the party can finish them. In the final Midgar Raid the party can choose to straight out kill them if they decide to spare the time from chasing Hojo. The Turks might be memorable but they're also amoral. Elena is the least evil only because she's new and playing catch up with the others.

I think we can be honest and admit this should've been the actual cover of the game because it makes sense with its main events and even about what the ending could mean. Zack had 1 hour of main story

Talking with Aerith is always a treat because you can always see layers going on in every interaction.
I think it is the only version that would've worked because after playing rebirth i truly do not understand the purpose of this cover because even in zack's world there is another cloud, not only Aerith. The cover is just meh.

I'm talking about a intergrade version like remake got.
people are only shown to be isekai'd directly through the rainbow whispers/purple sephiroth whispers. it doesn't just happen automatically at any moment. only Marlene seems to be the strange outlier here
seemingly aerith prime uses this power to whisk him and her away from the bottom of the temple when they fall into the abyss?
it's all so fricking moronic and it could have just been 1:1 and it all would have been so grand and fabulous and fantastic and it could have ended the exact same as Disc 1 and would be the same kind of Empire Strikes Back moment that the ending of Disc 1 had.
we could all be talking about how fricking incredible this game is for it's retelling and fleshing out of the original games world and concepts but instead it's entirely based on this meta commentary timeline bullshit that's infected by psychopathic Aerith fans
Whenever the shitposters aren't here and the actual fans get to talk to each other you realise how fricking moronic they all are. They should be glad schizos drown them out and keep them from embarrassing themselves most of the time.

Look, you can think whatever you want, the truth is Aerith opened up Cloud's closed shell more than Tifa ever could. Tifa had to pull his teeth out whenever they wanted to talk
In Rebirth its Cloud who wants to talk with Tifa
Well yeah gotta setup the pump and dump
After a whole ass game of Aerith helping him out and Tifa struggling in the first one. Cloti is most likely canon anyways but without Aerith she'd still be struggling
Because she gave him the flower?
>figure things out
ohnonononono Aerithxirs.....what are they going to figure out?????? QUICK DEPLOY THE LIFESTREAM JENOVA GHOST!
they were written as starcrossed soulmates
The both have similar childhoods that involve loneliness and the desire to belong. Cloud is also a sweet guy underneath it all despite living in a world as cruel as Gaia.
The wonder of writing YA fiction is that you don't need a bunch of barriers and hoops to jump through to ship two characters
They aren't jaded towards love and relationships and fall in love fast
*from Aerith's date
She probably just thought he was a cute when they first met and his similarities to Zack made her take notice of him. But over time she began to realize the soldier persona wasn't the real him and she became more interested in the real person Cloud was hiding or at least was buried
But that proves my point, she never got to meet the real Cloud, just the one that thought he was Zack, before she died.
Her interest in him came from him mixing himself up with Zack.
As someone neutral about shipping I can see why Aerith anons seethe at Zack kek
>I hope this'll make the nightmares stop, Cloud
>you forgot to style your hair
Aerith's dress should be torn a little from where it struggled and failed to constrain Tifa's significantly more massive rack imo
Tifa that's NOT THE RIGHT SHADE OF RED ahhhhhhhhh
What a c**t. I'm glad that b***h died, the Japanese are right in finding her annoying.
Alpha female.
This is why I never bought them being friends, this is disgusting
She just keeps doing it
the cuts to tifa everytime are golden
devs know what they are doing
Aerith is too mean
Good, Tifa is an absolute downer cuck with no agency. All she has going for her is being ridiculously, inimitably hot like holy SHIT what a goddamn piece of ass FUUUUUUUUUUUCK. In every other way Aerith has her not just beaten but pummelled into the dirt and filled in with concrete
>its our water tower now
I can’t believe this b***h stole OUR water tower scene, Tifabros… That was OUR special moment… If she gets a scene under the Highwind next game it’s so fricking over bros…
She'll get the Lifestream scene too, since Tifa already did her part of it.
That's going to be where everyone discovers that Aerith is alive and it starts off the Zack subplot of finding a way to reunite worlds.
I think the funniest shit about the water tower drama is how moronic shippers said it was an awful scene and how aerith was rude to cloud then nojima said in the ultimania how it was one of his favorite scenes of the whole game.

And it will be the same with the dream date, mongoloids are acting like it is supposed to be something awful when it's definitely a heartfelt moment for both of them. But the truth is that they know and they're just coping.
Absolutely, cant you see how mad and sad he is in this scene.
I cant imagine how hard it is to admit nojima will never dislike cloud and aerith like they expect. So they need to cope like that.
Nojima wrote Crisis Core
Wow it is almost like a prequel huh. Like every other ff that nojima wrote and had characters with past love. The fact aerith had a previous relationship with zack doesnt deny she fell in love with cloud. In general, it is stated even harder because in lifestream white(writen after cc), Aerith still says that cloud was her lover. CC never retconed her feelings for cloud.
CC also expanded some Cloud x Tifa. But my point was CC is the most canon lovers relationship you'll get out of FF7 franchise. They'll never confirm Zerith or Clerith or Cloti after that, even if we're going back to the AC status quo
This feels like mental gymnastics because if you take the gongola date aerith straight up says she wants to be with cloud now. The fact she dated zack years before becomes irrelevant. In general, your proved the whole point, the only reason why they were even canon at one moment is exaclty because it ended. So they never had to commit to anything.
she's dead
Thanks for the concession.
okay thirdworld illiterate
She's dead. I'm saying AC status quo is because Aerith and Zack are dead and Cloud and Tifa are alive. They won't even confirm anything under these extremes.
I kinda agree but i still dont know how they will end this trilogy. But i see them doing romantic resolution scenes with both girls and the fandom will keep fighting till the end of days.
And Zack's resolution?
The truth is that i dont think he really needs it, or it can at least be about other things. Zack is probably confused as frick but the truth is that just like Cloud's climax in the story happens, Zack's will happen at the same time. Both of them will realize that one died and the other survived. So they will probably shift the focus to saving the world after it.
But i also agree that he will probably get a heartfelt moment because he needs some resolution with Aerith.
You forgot that there's multiple timelines and in Zack's timeline his Aerith has never met Cloud. His resolution is as simple as I still have my Aerith because I didn't die.
We never saw an Aerith that never met Cloud or at least doesnt know who he is. The proof of that is how even that other Aerith from the other world knew him becauseh er materia was intact. If there is still an Aerith in Zack's world, she would probably know Cloud too.
In general there isnt anything we can say about how Aerith and Cloud's consciousness work in these worlds because they're outliers.
The Cloud that Zack is carrying doesn't know Aerith. He has never met her. And there's no 2 Clouds just like there's no 2 Aeriths and 2 Zacks or 2 Biggs.
Again, we dont even know how Cloud and Aerith's minds even work. Until we see two versions of them walking around at the same time we can never be sure if they even can, differently from characters like Kyrie.
Zack for sure is not unified. 3 simultaneous Zacks doing different things at the same time.
Yeah but you said it yourself. It is Zack, and we dont know for sure how many of his actions or places that he is going are influenced by aerith because she is cleary tard wrangling him.
Why go for Biggs?
Biggs was the only other avalanche member she knew. From sector 5, biggs helped the orphanage.
Biggs over Cloud who can save her from being killed by Sephiroth? Biggs who made a dud bomb?
The truth is that biggs was just a device to explain a bit of how the world works and a fodder to have zack interacting and doing his moronic speechs to. So they needed to have anything, and i agree it is moronic to make him have doubts of which one he should save.
Him having doubts proves that it was not guided by Aerith. It was his own decision across 3 timelines and they're distinct with one another
I'm not saying aerith is doing the choices for him, but the mechanism in which he "travels" between places is clearly influenced by her.
If terrierverse Aerith know of Cloud by her white materia and assuming there cannot be 2 Clouds then she would've waited for Cloud to come before escaping Midgar. Hell probably she should've know about Zack coming back.
The thing is that you're seeing this in a linear way when in truth nothing about zack's world or flow of events make much sense because it's like he jumped 2 months in time to the future.
And i still dont know where do you want to reach with this.
My original point, Aerith in that timeline has never met Cloud. If there are 2 Clouds then Zack's Cloud has never met Aerith. Also Cloud shouldn't have been isekai'd because he wasn't killed.
Your theory is mostly based on headcanons so it is hard to discuss anything. We never saw an aerith without knowledge of cloud or present events in the whole story yet you still talk with such confidence because you think this is mcu multiverse.
what fricking knowledge did Terrier Aerith have of Cloud when she infiltrated Shinra with Avalanche ALONE and rescued Red and tried to escape but the party died and she was captured alongside Red? fricker frickhead mcgee
The moment you start trying to discuss with events that happened or appeared in the main story i will reply to you, i dont like working with headcanons that much. Have a nice day.
>events that happened or appeared in the main story
this is 4 minutes into the game.
So you saw that and infered that cloud never met aerith in that world lmao
If there are 2 Clouds then all the more true that Zack's Cloud has never met Aerith. Aerith may have met the native Cloud but not the isekai'd Cloud
if Cloud was isekai'd why would he still be comatose
Because of the mako poisoning? Didn't you play CC. Zack had been hauling comatose Cloud's around for a fricking year.
it only makes sense for someone to be isekai'd that is DEAD that's the only way it is shown to happen outside of direct manipulation by some force. that Cloud never ever awoke so there is ZERO information about who he was other than being the exact same as Prime Cloud except he never had to witness Zack die which forced him awake and toward Midgar.
as far as we know, there is ZERO connections between Cloud and Avalanche in the Terrier verse
I was only entertaining the 2 Clouds guy. Yes I said earlier Cloud wouldn't be isekai'd because he wasn't killed in beagleverse
That Cloud effectively is a corpse. I believe there is only one conscious Cloud overall, even if there are infinite bodies.
The Cloud from Terrier was OUR Cloud, because Remake's Beagle turned into Terrier and Cloud left through the edge of creation. Zack is from Beagle and his Cloud is effectively a corpse created as the result of each world needing him to exist.
Beagleverse Cloud woke up and end up saving the world. Still like I said, Zack's Cloud has never met Aerith.
My argument is that Cloud transfers his mind between bodies, so it doesn't matter if Zack's Cloud never met Aerith. Cloud met Aerith in another timeline and if that Cloud were to ever wake up, he would just have the mind and memories of our Cloud exactly like he did in the date world.
Doesn't make sense. That would mean he has to transfer to terrierverse and leave beagleverse behind.
The thing is that zack is in a copy paste of remake's world, but now "our cloud" just vanished and the party lost the final fight. That's it.
Who's the Cloud with Zack then? Wearing the SOLDIER outfit. If Zack is copy pasted then that means there's 2 Zacks in that world, one alive and one in the grave.
Its just for the cringe date scene before Aerith's death. Seriously. Thats all that will come out of it.
>Its just for the cringe date scene before Aerith's death. Seriously. Thats all that will come out of it.
Calm down, Tifa.
"let's take a cute picture togther!"
"you all don't look like a couple....look like you're attending a funeral"
he says aerith looks like she is about to cry
Calm down, wiener gobbler.
You dont get it, anon. He is mad as frick here.
Tifkeks are mentally ill please understand
I could watch an entire movie of them just being happy together
AC 2.0 good ending edition
coming to theaters 2030
He is hating this shit. Look how sad he is
She had a knife in her pocket.
kek
Seriously but it is funny how every normal person talks about how incredible that scene is but shippers like cloti and zerith just seethe at it. The gift that keeps giving.
Well if you did the Tifa route is a ntr scene. But still is really good.
Not the same Aerith
I think that makes even more important, the fact it is prime aerith, that knows everything that happened and could happen turns everthing 100% more concrete.
He's wearing the wrong outfit. He's supposed to be wearing the one with 2 pauldrons
Like I said earlier, its Square not being consistent.
They patched the erroneous Stamp in Junon. When will they patch this?
Nojima told us not to bother seeing them as parallel realities so there's no point of trying to pick out what event happened where in what world
They're a combination of memories and unrealized desires, leaking out of the lifestream forming separate bits of reality.
That's stupid and a copout to avoid real creativity.
It's not a copout, they are still different worlds. But they didn't exist as extensive timelines of events that you can logically puzzle out, that's the 'problem' with trying to determine what happens at what time. The concept of time seems not relevant in these worlds. I think someone found out that clocks have no hands in these worlds.
Maybe President Shinra's unrealized hope taking shape? Who can say.
And in his hope Midgar is in ruins?
It's not made from a single person's memories/dreams.
I see... so who's hope is it that Zack is revived?
Can only speculate. White feather could hint at Angeal, could also be Aerith or the planet itself as the white whispers seem to help Zack along.
I see... so who's hope is it that Midgar is in ruins?
Take your pick. Avalanche members, anyone from Wutai or Junon's old republic.
I thought Ultimania said something regarding Angeal and the white feather, but I don't know if that was confirmed.
I see... so their hopes are more than the hopes of the citizens of Midgar to not have Midgar in ruins?
I'd argue more people hating Midgar have entered the lifestream than those who haven't. Those memories need to be in the lifestream first for them to manifest out of it.. I think
But I don't have the answers either anon, I'm just speculating on things too.
I am confusing the bright white light and rainbow parts with the scene you guys are talking about.
Like the white whispers are Aerith's so are the feathers. Opposite of Sephiroth.
It’s Angeal, m8.
>Asked if there's any meaning behind the single white feather that flutters by Cloud and Zack in the opening of FFVII Rebirth, Nomura jokes that it might be hinting at something, punning on the Japanese word "anji" (暗示 - “hint”) and the first half of “Angeal” (アンジール in JP.)
>何かを”アンジ”しているのかも
The white feather IS Angeal, Ultimania confirmed this.
If his references are being followed. not just memories, but each person's perception of reality.
Which ties with the whole concept of why sephiroth even needs cloud to defy their fate, or shape reality. Cloud is always on the top of the wave every time these reality changing events happen.
>If his references are being followed. not just memories, but each person's perception of reality.
>Which ties with the whole concept of why sephiroth even needs cloud to defy their fate, or shape reality. Cloud is always on the top of the wave every time these reality changing events happen.
It is probably related to the idea that Cloud can literaly create his own reality based on his own perception of it. Also due to him being mako poisoned as frick.
Why is the Avalanche party dead?
obviously Zack was transported into a doomed timeline.
how or why Aerith and Cloud were unable to be conscious is still a complete mystery.
Aerith Prime was able to transfer their souls out of Rebirth timeline and into Doom world and stand up and walk out of her house without saying a word to anyone including Zack or even attempting to do anything OTHER than have a little date with Cloud again before she gets skewered across realities
Cloud we know because he's been unconscious for a whole fricking year. And that date world is a dream world. Cloud wasn't wearing his SOLDIER uniform when he woke up. Ultimania also says there's no Elmyra and Marlene there.
>that date world is a dream world. Cloud wasn't wearing his SOLDIER uniform when he woke up
Its totally Zack's dying world. Cloud not having double pauldrons is simply bad consistency by Square. Probably so fans don't confuse him with the Cloud from the flash backs.
I guess Elmyra and Marlene being missing is also SE's negligence too. Also they were in chihuahuaverse. Zack was in terrierverse. This is pointed out in Ultimania
I don't get how hard is it. I even said there can be 2 Clouds, but Zack's Cloud in this case has never met Aerith. There is the other Cloud.
They weren't missing they simply weren't shown.
Bottom right note. It says Zack, Elmyra and Marlene are absent.
Wait what, Zack has 3 different world scenarios? I thought they all were the same world, Zack frets in front of the church then leaves, goes to head to the Shinra building but then changes his mind and bikes to reactor 6. What the frick is going on?
Aerith wants to win Cloud because she loves to win
If Cloud didn't have a b***h after him she wouldn't give a shit
Its the thrill of winning against another woman
>And it will be the same with the dream date, mongoloids are acting like it is supposed to be something awful when it's definitely a heartfelt moment for both of them. But the truth is that they know and they're just coping.
Brother that part of chapter 14 is mindfricking people so hard.
That person can go to the olympics, or i wonder if they just never played a rpg before.
Imagine if people picked all the different options of dialogue in a scene, joined them, and said the new sentence is the canon route. What.
People say that Ganker has schizos but i'm sure the average social media experience isnt as different.
But...what is the logic of doing this if the whole point is that your answers change depending on your quests and how much affinity you developed to the character. This is insane.
There is no logic, the truth is that they're terrified that in the HA version Cloud straight up looks at her face directly and confirms he wants to create more memories with her and go to more dates.
maybe tifa will get a nice rape scene as compensation
tifa letting broken cloud rape her hot, cloud imaging her as aerith even hotter, tifa is just warm wet meat while the image of aerith is the actual love when cloud refocuses and realizes he is fricking tifa his dick immediately goes limp and that breaks tifas heart
Force ghost Aerith is gonna be there sitting next to Cloud in the under the Highwind scene.
She's staying behind at the temple. It's like a second home
temple? I think forgotten capital
Same shit
For now
It's Jenova which will be revealed in the Crystal Cave
I didn’t like that part. When she climbed up there I wanted to skip it, but eventually you have to.
>Hey Cloud! Want to go to that special place Tifa talks about and make our own memories?
Clueless or b***h? At least she’s dead.
Aerith is too cute to get mad at
>m-muh special place
no, just bc beside that NOTHING between them is memorable.
Tifa and her cumbrain fans should stop lying to themself.
Don't care what Ultimania says. Don't care what the devs say. Don't care "optional". Cloud kissed Tifa, didn't kiss anybody else, it's in the game.
A pity kiss.
Handholding is where it's at. Means way more
I love how Cloud is being nice
Cetra ain't gonna breed themselves ya know?
They reproduce through hand holding
Is there any real way to manipulate who you take? I had Tifa in my party the whole game so I got her by default I think
From my understanding, it's mostly about the dialogue choices made with each character. When they ask you to respond in 1 of 3 ways.
There are other, more binary, choices like matching Cloud's beachwear wiih Aerith and/or Tifa, who you decide to assist in Costa Del Sol. Selecting the Mine Car route for Barret or Yuffie.
Completing side quests that heavily involve one of your party members will also improve your relationship with them.
Once you beat the game and are able to replay parts through Chapter Select there are Extra Options to directly choose who will accompany you, so it's not difficult to get everybody.
they literally show you relationship meters in the game. its not even like the original where it was hidden and getting barret and yuffie were eastereggs for those who really went out of their way
aerith shlicks from the lifestream while she watches tifa and cloud go at it under the highwind
Tifakek melty
Tifa wants Cloud's heart
Aerith wants to win against Tifa
Aerith wants the real Cloud
Tifa clings to a childish desire
you're a homosexual.
As an endangered species they have to claim as many mates as possible to propagate the species.
Ki Adi Mundi moment
Tifa and Aerith gays are low test, Yuffie is clearly best girl.
BASED
I wanna rub her tummy when she gets motion sickness until she feels all better
Total Aerith victory
What a woman
Best waifu now and forever
I want to impregnate Aerith badly.
I want to fill up her hairy pussy with all of my seed.
>clerith cards have synergy
>cloti cards don’t
Surely this means nothing it’s bot like Queen’s Blood has plot releva
ifrit must really love loveless then
Why was Cloud so worried about her?
I greatly preferred their relationship and interactions in Remake.
I can understand that since Remake is the first act of a three act story so it’s the part where the characters tend to get to know each other and fall in love. By Rebirth they’re already in love so it’s mostly wheel spinning until part 3 which is the climax of any love story.
Both Aerith and Tifa lost, they can't compete with Yuffie.
She’s 16 years old, you sick frick
Legal for me.
Pedo scum
No one asked you reddit.
Why does Yuffie look so much more Asian in Intergrade?
She hadn't been honeyed infant yet.
legal for the majority of earth
so sit the frick down and watch if you want
legal for me as well but morally frowned upon to the point that only my best friend would still talk to me afterwards and probably only to tell me to seek help
>she's legal years old
Umm ok?
Not in any 1st world nations
moron.
America isn't 1st world.
these nations are made by savages, who cares what they think
More than half the US has an age of consent of 16.
OUT OF 10
Yes
That's the appeal hag
What made Cloud change his mind at the Honeybee Inn?
He wanted to impress Aerith.
She looks as small as the game's sales
>the end has the sound of children’s laughter like the original
>but this time it’s aerith and cloud’s kids laughing out of frame
How kino would this be?
The cetra gigastacy takes what she wants
What does Cetra pussy taste like?
flower nectar
Clouds cum.
proofs?
Ask Tifa, she's on clean up duty.
I don’t understand this webm, is she in a message chair or something?
She's really into her exercise routine.
Is it a kegels experience?
mako
It makes you crazy
Ultimania states they have the most delicate and refined looking pussies on the planet
Heaven.
The promised land.
I saved her right?
I don't want to be depressed mailman agian
You saved her Cloud, you saved her.
Of course you saved me
Probably. I suspect the twist will be that Cloud is the only one who's seeing the truth.
That’s literally the case
correct
That was obvious
Are Rebirth threads finally dead?
>it was the fans that killed the threads, not the haters
It's like pottery
Nah. I just started the game today so I will make threads.
Nibelheim part was remade almost perfectly. The only thing that annoys me is that Sephiroth came to conclusion (by himself) that he was also a man-made, while in original it was Cloud/Zack who asked him ''Are you different?'' after which Sephy had a meltdown.
I'm still not sure if I like this multiverse direction, and who the frick were ''Zack'' and ''Cloud'' at the beginning, but we'll see.
Larry is too busy with Metaphor threads to samegay this one.
Larry was created by Timothy to deflect criticism away from his Aaron posts
So its confirmed that Dragoniriqn is doing this?
Yeah. I'd its western namecalling it is always dragoniki
What is genuinely wrong with you?
Nice try Gary
Where is this?
Shibuya
What utterly dumbfounds me is when hardcore Clerith’s use this “argument” that Aerith “should not and is not bound to Zack”… That it’s a sexist objectification that Aerith is “Zack’s property”… But apparently they’re obsessed with Cloud being HER property???
I like Tifa cause she has the big boobies
>"You can't fall in love with me"
>Flirts at any and every opportunity
I hate women so much it's unreal.
She forgot and fell in love herself
I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE

I want to BE Tifa
>If only I have a frickdoll body like Tifa, chad like Cloud will rape me 24/7
we know, DUOJ
Why are Tifagays so gay?
how'd she get to the upper plate
I don’t think there’s restriction of movement between the slums and upper plates, anon
There are trains that connect the lower part with the upper part. You use one of them after the first reactor bombing for example
must be jenova
I'm more curious about the scene in Remake.
Tifa: ''I have to ask you for a favor. I want you to go to a bar called Seventh Heaven...''
Aerith: ''...and pick up Marlene, right?''
How the frick did she know? There's no point at which Tifa tells her that Marlene is in the bar, as far as I know.
because she has OG memories in her White materia. She loses them after fight against destiny (she can still kinda understand something bad will happen to her(like red does) but she doesn't have true future knowledge).
She had her white materia since her mom died
Yeah, I asked the same question few days ago and some anon claimed that it's possible that ''a ghost'' possessed her at the beginning, hence why she knows the outcome in the future. Also, Cloud had some of those visions after he came into contact with Aerith.
I'm still early in Rebirth but I have a feeling that I will end the game with more questions than answers.
Whole game hints at Aerith and Sephiroth knowing more than they should. That's why the sequel theory is popular. They are the two entities who can travel the lifestream as individuals in one of the novels.
Jej, Cloud can swim in Rebirth!
I really really REALLY want to see underwater scenes and explore underwater areas. If those are not in Rebirth (I'm still early in the game so I dunno) I hope they'll be in the next game.

MOM LOOK! I USED THE BUZZWORD!
curious
Who buried Aerith in beagleverse?
>it is currently unclear whether the woman is still alive, coming from the Lifestream, or just an illusion seen by Cloud.
AHHHHHHH I FRICKING KNEW THAT SHIT WAS JENOVA MOTHERFRICKERS!
AINT NO FRICKING MAXIMILIAN THEORY! THAT SHIT IS CLEARLY FRICKING JENOVAERITH! SHE USED LIFECLINGER ON CLOUD!
Let it go max, it’s over
it's only just begun idiot
>just an illusion seen by Cloud
why would he see such an illusion?
Max pls
you don't have an argument
>cherry picking one of 3 options the ultimania gives you is an argument
Ok max
oh the Ultimania is now cherry picking I see that goal post has been
1 out of 3 options max, and the least likely
Because Jenova? Because he's been seeing illusions all throughout the games? Because Aerith's dress doesn't react to the Tiny Bronco engine blowing? Because they buried Aerith already?
yes I know. there are many people who want to believe that she is somehow alive/her ghost is somehow actually her spirit and not a false jenova lifeclinger
poor jenova, left all along while her themesong (NPTK) plays 🙁
"the real Cloud" is a sad and lonely kid
the real Cloud is exactly who Tifa knows and loves
you are falling tor the trick, with your clouded eyes.
Shouldn't have forgotten to turn on her cloth physics then
I love how not even the stupid guy who created the theory could explain this, then the ultimania just nuked it as a whole.
Its totally Jenova, you idiot. Jenova mimicking the dead plot dump 30 minutes before finding Aerith, Cloud is mind fricked and literally has Jenova cells in him, the awkward "good luck" before the plane leaves. Put the pieces together.
keep grasping at jenova, it's hilarious.
But then again aerith haters get confused by half the game it seems
Jenova is literally Chekov's gun
Why would force ghost Aerith act like she isn't dead?
I mean, why would Ghost Aerith appear at all? She just had a huge emotional sendoff.....
With Cloud. She's fooling Cloud.
cloud saved aerith, created new world. End of story. Rift in the sky confirms it
A new world where there's only Aerith right? The party is dead and Cloud is not there?
We do not know how new worlds work
All that is clear is that he saved aerith and can interact with both worlds. The party can't since it didn't go through the whisper portal
So like I said, a world with only Aerith in it. Let's say Aerith and Cloud can see each other but in different worlds, then that means Aerith knows that Cloud doesn't know that she's dead. And she has to pretend to interact with the party, and probably pretended to be buried. Which begs the question what happened to her dead body? Aerith has 2 bodies but Cloud only 1?
>pretend to interact with the party, and probably pretended to be buried
none of that happens though, she literally ONLY appears AFTER the static.
In grand unifying theory of Aerith in wonderland she woke up and can be seen by Cloud so she's always there
there are two aeriths. One died. Didn't you see that when zack was making choices both of them happened
okay, so Aerith number 2, I call
she's the one who "wakes up" on command right?
what's so say that entire vision is not an illusion?
that Cloud
that is exactly who Cloud is though. an amalgamation of wants, fears, desires, and inspirations. he is a scared and self conscious young man.
don't you think if "Zack Cloud" was a real thing, he would be a bit more "Zack" towards AERITH and not TIFA?
>what's so say that entire vision is not an illusion?
because sephiroth tells you he is beginning to merge worlds right after the scene glitches and aerith that has no blood on her starts falling down, while cloud is still in the position in which he blocked sephiorth.
You used sephiroth whispers to open whisper portal. He needed cloud to block the masamune so it would create a new world to merge.
It's not really a debate if people just paid attention to what sephiroth is saying and how cloud is acting, but alas people create wild headcanons that ignoring what happens in the game
good morning sir'd the frick out of myself on that one with auto post shit.
I call bullshit on that one
Sephiroth confluenced the worlds and it showed Aerith number 2 slump over and "die". Because she was occupying the same world as her dead self. But when he cleaves the worlds apart again and Cloud returns from the edge of creation or wherever the frick they were, and Aerith Prime disappears again and holds Clouds hand and doesn't let go, he simultaneously buries her in the water and DOESN'T bury her in the water? and we are supposed to believe that the rainbow bit we saw where she was still alive is REAL and equally matters to the plot despite all of our party experiencing her death as in the OG
Cloud is somehow speaking to the B world Aerith?
If B world Aerith is alive, then why can't B world party see her?
If B world Aerith is alive, then why doesn't she fly in B world Bronco?
it's not presented like she is glitching in and out, like he's watching her interact with the others who SEE her. only HE sees her. it's no B timeline slipping through.
It's a complete and utter illusion. Sephiroth tells him so.
With the flick of the Masamune he can cleave Cloud's world asunder and separate him from his loved one, even if he manages to save her in some other world.
>you will never see with clouded eyes.
>Sephiroth tells him so
Yeah he's very trustworthy
that's not this game though
Sephiroth says a tooooooooooooonnnnnnn of shit
I hope you clowns are only "pretending to be moronic" because your counter arguments are either shallowly stupid or nonexistent.
jenova argument is the most braindead argument in the fandom. You guys think devs hate aerith
Jenova mimicking Aerith in Clouds mind has nothing to do with Aerith hate you imbecile.
yea and they gave the last scene in the game with aerith to jenova while NPTK plays. Fricking moron kys
I am 100% convinced English is not your first language and a little slow based on your inability to put subtle hints together.
>No argument
k
it's actually perfectly thematic and elevates the material to a new height which is exactly what the Remake project should be doing.
>you will never see with Clouded eyes
Cmon not even the lowest common denominator of the fandom stil believes in that. Wait, you do, so the lowest common denominator does.
>Its totally Jenova, you idiot.
oh you're so mad kekarooo
>Its totally Jenova, you idiot. Jenova mimicking the dead plot dump 30 minutes before finding Aerith, Cloud is mind fricked and literally has Jenova cells in him, the awkward "good luck" before the plane leaves. Put the pieces together.
do cleriths seriously think Cloud and Tifa wont be together?
I think they will give tifa their optional fanservice and make cloud and aerith the story driven route, same as remake and rebirth
lol
get ready to get aerith there
>arega denebu, arutairu, bega
Kino
They never got past the “family of friends phase in AC/DoC, so what do you think? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like this bullshit either, but unless SE suddenly finds the balls to really shake up things at the end, the outcome will probably be the same.
They are on a high because this is the Clerith game. Last game was Jessie's
>we will meet again
okay but why does this hold any significance if she is "alive"
Did you skip the ending or what
"gosh Cloud I'm so emoitonal about saying goodbye to you"
>5 minutes later
"teehee I'm right here silly!"
it's fricking Jenova lmao
sure max
there's a max now wasn't it barry or eric ffs this meme is moronic
Man i imagine how the lore schizos who look every fricking bit of info see this because the game is telegraphing a reunion at the end so hard but they want to ignore it.
>Man i imagine how the lore schizos who look every fricking bit of info see this because the game is telegraphing a reunion at the end so hard but they want to ignore it.
The same as they do with loveless. They analyse every bit of it but ignore the last talk between Cloud and Aerith because it bothers them.
IT IS A RED HERRING, NOTHING WILL COME FROM IT. DELETE THIS RIGHT NOW!!!
Cloud gave Aerith's flower to Tifa without a second thought as soon as he saw her
How dare Cloud give away a random flower given to him by a complete stranger
>autist can’t take a bit of playful ribbing
Regifting a gift is generally considered a faux pas and poor manners, which you would know if you weren’t a basement dweller.
that was zack cloud
Brother they had a whole chapter explaining that fricking pin in the first game, everyone even called if filler. The reunion is happening.
The red herring part cracked me up because it truly is a buzzword in the fandom.
What could it mean???
Flowers look alike.
It is the 25 year old cook, it is over.
>Aerith/Cloud reunion
>Genesis & Angeal retrieving Sephiroth’s sanity
>whatever the frick is going on with Weiss
Anything else they’ve been cooking for the last 20 years?
I dont know about the second one lol
But they are also hinting since kh2 that cloud and sephiroth are the "same thing". Sephiroth literally says "i'm you" to Cloud. And that Tifa is the one who helps him, probably related to the way she helps him in the lifestream scene.
In general it is hilarious how much things like spinoffs and side games were hinting at major plot points of the remake project. And yeah the whole reunion with aerith thing is the one mentioned the most.
The second one was recently heavily hinted in Opera Omnia, and it’s wild.
>Sephiroth is still affected by his memory of them, to the point he had tried to discard these memories in the Lifestream, but it didn’t quite work
>Sephiroth confirms that their memory of him would “destabilize” him, so he must get rid of them
>Angeal and Genesis still care about him (in Genesis’s case we’ve known this since CC and CC Ultimania) and want the old Sephiroth back
>Sephiroth really did lose his shit mainly because they left him (apparently partly because they didn’t want to drag him into their shameful mess - great job, morons)
I’d be very surprised if Return doesn’t do something with this.
What reunion? Cloud thinks she's alive.
exactly it doesn't make any sense. why are they supposed to reunite if he is chilling with her moments after "not" beating Sephiroth for the 3rd time
What fricks me up is how accurate these things are even when they've happened more than 10 years before the project even started. Cloud is holding the fricking white materia in this pic. frick.
don't post Tifa in Kingdom Hearts 2 nope just mention how he'd like to see Goddess Aerith again just like he says at the very end of Final Fantasy VII when Tifa says "let's meet her together" obviously alluding to them joining the Lifestream together (dying together)
>Cloud is holding the fricking white materia in this pic. frick.
I've never realized this lmao
He never even touched the white materia in the og game.
kino
The materia is green senpai
Holy was always green before rebirth. In general even in rebirth it is green if you remove the day 1 patch.
IIRC in OG Bugenhagen and the party are surprised when it glows green in the spirit hologram of Aerith’s death, because it means she had activated it. Apparently it’s white/pale green normally when it’s inactive.
The fact it was changed after a patch in day 1 makes me think it is just a matter or making it easier to diferentiate from random materia. And we also know how an "inactive" holy looks.
You are correct. In the OG the White Materia is just white. It glows a pale green when the user successfully communicates with the Planet.
>Bugenhagen
>Speak to the planet.
>Get the White Materia... This will bond the Planet to humans.
>Then speak to the planet.
>If our wish reaches the planet, the White Materia will begin to glow a pale green.
>Cloud
>...This is the end.
>Aeris had the White Materia...
>But when Aeris died, it fell from the altar...
>That's why...... this is the end.
______
>Cloud
>...It's glowing.
>Bugenhagen
>Ho Ho Hooo!! It's pale green!!
>Cloud
>...Aeris. Aeris has already prayed for Holy.
>...After I gave up the Black Materia to Sephiroth...... Aeris' words came into my dreams...
>She said, she was the only one who could stop Sephiroth...... And to do that, there was a secret here...
>That was Holy...... That's why, she had the White Materia. Aeris knew about here... and what she had to do.
>Aeris has left us great hope. But, it cost her her life... her future...
>I'm sorry... Aeris. I should have figured this out sooner.
What's interesting is that the implication is that White Materia isn't expressly meant to summon Holy. It's purpose is to put people in communication with the Planet and that person can pray for Holy. Afterwhich the Planet makes a decision on who lives or dies after Holy is fired.
>same second
Holy poster bots calm down
A-are you me?
I'm you in a different timeline
>Aerith posters are literal self inserting trannies that will die virgins
I'm a guy tho
OG white materia is pale green, which is why I am hoping the white materia in Rebirth is really something else for some sort of clever twist.
Its simply fanservice rememberberries you reaching morons.
RED HERRING RED HERRING
I'm glad you said that because i also do when it is something i dislike.
You're one of those clowns that make big deal out of vague Dark Soul items descriptions, aren't you? You're a fool if you think anyone in Square was thinking this long term for story elements in a game that almost never happened.
In Dissidia every character has a crystal shaped after their respective games. Cloud's crystal is spherical because materia. Also Tifa is in a Warrior of Light as well in Duodecim
>crystal shaped after their respective games
no, they have an item. I know Squall has a white feather
Bruh
https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Crystal_(term)
Dissidia ending
Right, crystals shaped after their respective games.
feather = crystal? It's clearly an item just called a crystal
Click on the link, scroll down to Dissidia
The fact that 7's looks like holy, a thing that is related to aerith, and even cloud now in rebirth. Just a coincidence huh
It's Cosmos' crystal
still not seeing the feather
and this looks exactly like holy materia
Only if those games have pocket-size crystals. The only crystal in VIII is Lunatic Pandora, which is like 300 feet tall.
Which is weird because I don't associate Squall with fricking angel wings outside the intro of FF8.
This homie's whole arc for the last 30 years is generational pining and yearning to see aerith again. Even in mobius, the last project from hamaguchi, it was the same thing.
qrd?
so who is right, Cloud or everyone else?
Cloud, if you pay attention
Depends. Did they bury Aerith or not?
Who's the only one that fought Sephiroth (True) alongside lifestream Aerith?
>got a personal info briefing from Sephiroth Prime
>met Aerith and Zack in the Lifestream interstice
>sees the crack in the sky that we know really exists
Cloud is a schizo, but in this case he’s a well-informed schizo.
>Hey I'm still alive Cloud! But I'm not getting in the Bronco....or leaving the area....or speaking to anyone else other than you....
>Goodbye....because I'm dead....
what kind of person would only choose to haunt ONE out of their 8 friends?
>"she is manipulating him, that's something Aerith would do, to protect him from turning into a black robe or whatever"
why would he become a black robe from Aerith dying? him losing his mind is only ever shown as being directly related to Jenova
>"teeehee, PROMISE you'll go bring that Black Materia to Sephiroth?"
>"Promise."
>"NO PROMISES AWAIT AT JOURNEY'S END"
I paid 69.99 for this? And you motherfrickers really pretend that this b***h is ALIVE?
they don't say promise in jpn dialogue localizers are kinda moronic.
Cloud says: I'll rush to defeat sephiroth
Aeriht: I know you will do it (or smth similar)
Cloud: I'm sure
Yo for real though, where the hell is any Priscilla art/renders?
pay up, homeslice
Half of the PC development will be encrypting her model
bro there is literal Marlene x Betty.
persona 5 is still better
"No promises to keep"
"promise me you'll bring that doomsday weapon to Sephiroth?"
"I promise"
"No promises await"
bravo nojimbo
see
>"they don't say promise in jpn dialogue localizers are kinda moronic"
nooo don't tell me what it says in japanese ;_; I must keep my delusion
AYO CHECK THIS OUT, ARMPITS
These are the shipper/maxdood 7R threads I've been dreaming of ever since Remake came out. I'm so happy. This is what I've been fighting for.
No, jimbo.
I know you're making fun of me, and I literally cannot stop myself from letting you know that you've touched a nerve. In fact I'm going to do it again.
Why didn't her dress react to the Tiny Bronco engine at first and then they flutter afterwards?
She's a "I can fix him" kind of girl
is there a multiverse where this shit didn't flop harder than xvi? kek
(you)
>16 threads died a week after launch
>Rebirth threads are still going strong 2 months later
Someone jelly?
>going strong
>still the same 2 homosexuals having the same argument about the dead girl
kek
Also Jimbo is here. I feel like I should point that out so people don't mistake any criticisms as legitimate.
What was the point of having Biggs alive, then kill him in the defunct Make Reactor 6?
He was never alive
>people still think I didn't save her
buddy......it's gonna hurt a lot when you figure it out.......I really really hope you buckle up
Vindication soon (3 years)
that Aerith literally disintegrates into Lifestream and you still think she's alive
that fight was in Clouds head
different aerith morono
WHO CARES AT THAT POINT?
>nahhh you see Aerith C and Aerith Z are both different
>nahhhh it doesn't matter that she says goodbye 15 times and pours her heart out about how it's all over despite their best efforts
>"I saw what you did back there....thank you" FOR TRYING LOL BECAUSE I'M STILL FRICKING DEAD AND HAVE TO BE IN ORDER TO SAVE THE PLANET!
it was OG/lifestream aerith in that fight, no need too sperg out
>AND HAVE TO BE IN ORDER TO SAVE THE PLANET!
She doesn’t, though. In OG she summoned Holy when she was still alive.
IN THE OG SHE USES THE LIFESTREAM TO SAVE THE PLANET!!!!!
Anon, stop screeching. It’s Holy that does the job. You know, the spell that she had activated at the altar.
It’s a feather from Rinoa’s sorceress wings.
watch the ending again you fricking moron.
god damn I hate you frickers
Its a combination of both holy and the lifestream, son.
GOALPOST: MOVED
HOLY DID NOT STOP THE METEOR
Shut the frick up you moronic secondary. Meteor smashed through Holy harder than I'd smash through Tifa's cervix.
So you are diminishing Aerith's sacrifice as pointless.
No, I think her death and return to the Lifestream is what convinced it to come up and properly block Meteor. Holy though either wasn't strong enough or was cast too late.
The fights with Sephiroth are so vague, no one knows if they were real or not.
Cloud is the only one who knows the truth and everyone else is wrong. Exact same twist as original. People aren't ready for Kitase's ending.
Timelines and parallel/multi universes are Nomura's crutch and I hate it.
What does the rift mean
I thought this was suppose to represent a dying world.
And only cloud can see it?
Are you ignoring the fact that Cloud is mentally unstable and being fricked with mentally by Sephiroth and Jenova?
so they want him to se a rift in the sky?
Subconscious reality
They are in a world inside the lifestream that is dying
pajeet marketer thread
if Cloud is seeing the sky of the doomed alternate timeline....then does that mean Aerith surviving dooms the planet?
I mean, duh, right?
so he can't save her. that's kind of the point...
by your logic he already did
so then that world gets fricking blown up?
the crack in the sky means doom
if he exists inbetween and only he can see it, then that means the other world where he saved her is doomed
Imagine caring about fate
>Why are LOCALIZERS like this
Imagine being a filthy burger stuck with a gaijin "translation"
Is everyone in agreement that there is an Aerith in the lifestream playing 4d chess with Sephiroth since before Remake starts?
btw this is how holy looks without the day 1 patch
and this is how it looks in OG
Wonder why they changed it. You have to be an idiot to mistake it for the usual green materia.
They used the wrong asset. That's supposed to be in part 3
>noooooo Barrett you can't just toss around President Shinra and terrify him!
>nooooo Cloud you can't just kill the Turks like that...! Forget Sector 7 and the multiple times they almost killed you
>Cloud you can't just kill the Turks like that
This was one of the most egregious things I saw in Rebirth. Its not like they were on good term or anything. Its not like there would be no honor in it or whatever cliché nonsense Japanese writers make up. The Turks are straight up murderers.
This is kind of a knock on effect of AC. In FF7 there's no indication that Cloud and friends actually forgave the Turks. Either they choose not to get in a fight, work with them to find Yuffie and by extension Elena, or the Turks escape before the party can finish them. In the final Midgar Raid the party can choose to straight out kill them if they decide to spare the time from chasing Hojo. The Turks might be memorable but they're also amoral. Elena is the least evil only because she's new and playing catch up with the others.
They are loyal to their man(Zack), unlike modern western human women.
newbie here. How many kisses has each of the FF girls received from Cloud between the OG and Remakes?
just one
Priscilla has 1 and Tifa has 1.
nice try anon, but aerithtroons deny reality like they deny their biological sex.
>ostracizes and excludes him
>baits him into falling off a cliff to his near death
>lets him carry the blame of the entire town, further excluding him
>fetishizes heros
>Gaslights him into joining the military to impress her
>Finds him in a near catatonic state at a train station, sticks him into a terrorist attack
Is it safe to say that Tifa ruined Cloud's life?
Pretty sure it's Sephiroth and Hojo.
I love my giant wife
She is dead
>Aerith is on the same side as Zack in the key art because they are both dead and idealized people
>Tifa is on the same side as Cloud in the key art because they are both alive and flawed people
kino
Sephiroth and his b***hes.
I fricking hate Nomura.
People who started overthinking that cover are hilarious because nomura himself goes "yeah my intent was never that at the start"
>People who started overthinking that cover are hilarious because nomura himself goes "yeah my intent was never that at the start"
He said the idea to do the same with aerith and tifa only came later when he realized he could also do it with them.
>people think about nomuras stories more than he does
Pretty much
In general he always leaves hints everywhere because that's his thing, i was mostly refering to shippers seeing the cover and going apeshit when the intent was never about that.
>In general he always leaves hints everywhere because that's his thing
No he doesn't. He makes shit up as he goes along. He has been doing it since Kingdom Hearts.
I think we can be honest and admit this should've been the actual cover of the game because it makes sense with its main events and even about what the ending could mean. Zack had 1 hour of main story
Zack is more alive than Aerith at the end of part 2
Whatever you may think zack is doing or where he is, Chadley talked more than him in Rebirth. He truly doesnt deserve his place in that cover.
Eh, he's pretty important marketing wise
?si=PftgfMXuBHDGHrob
So are you admitting he was there just for marketing? thanks for proving my point.
Yeah he's more important marketing wise than Aerith
Dude Aerith is the second most popular ff7 heroine. Did you smoke crack, but if you're a zackgay you are just stupid so i forgive you.
Okay..? She's not on the cover tho
>Okay..? She's not on the cover tho
Are you trolling?
Yeah but you know they can never do that because people are too unhinged.
If this was the official version theories over the ending would go 10x more insane.
Aerith is only important at the ending. Throughout the actual game she's not really important.
Nomura literaly says in Rebirth's ultimania how she is the most important character in the whole story, followed by sephiroth. You may dislike aerith, but your projections will never change who the story is about.
the story is about Cloud.
Aerith is dead at the end of Disc 1.
Then go correct nomura, i'm sure you know more than him, Ganker anon.
Nomura also said this
Are you illiterate enough to think that "link up to" means "end up in".
And you are the one acting you know more than the devs even when you cant read.
He said if you play through to the end it will link to AC. Don't worry about story changes
t. Nomura
He also said this
Okay I believe him. He knows best. We know Zack is alive from the cover of the game
Not in the game. The plot doesn't involve Aerith until the ending. Hell the entire plot is really follow the clones.
>Nomura literaly says in Rebirth's ultimania how she is the most important character in the whole story, followed by sephiroth. You may dislike aerith, but your projections will never change who the story is about.
These devs always acting like they know shit.
Nojima talked a bit about this in remake's ultimania.
>Nojima talked a bit about this in remake's ultimania.
Talking with Aerith is always a treat because you can always see layers going on in every interaction.
the zack stuff was so pointless there's an option to remove his scenes from the game
I think it is the only version that would've worked because after playing rebirth i truly do not understand the purpose of this cover because even in zack's world there is another cloud, not only Aerith. The cover is just meh.
>I think it is the only version that would've worked because after playing rebirth i truly do not understand the purpose of this cover because even in zack's world there is another cloud, not only Aerith. The cover is just meh.
This would've been a much better art.
Why is Aerith with the party heading to the north?
cloud saved my wife
she is still alive
>Its like a second home
>Icicle Village is literally her birth home
yes but she spent all her life in the shinra building
The hope is that if the game gets a definitive edition or something similar they pick a better version.
>definitive edition
do you really think they will put together an edition where the main story alone 400 hours long?
I'm talking about a intergrade version like remake got.
Cloud's going to breed all 3 girls in Part 3 isn't he?
He's obviously sterile from mako poisoning
But that only makes his sperm stronger
It's pretty funny how half the game was just Tifa NTR. I feel sorry for the guys who are into Tifa lol.
people are only shown to be isekai'd directly through the rainbow whispers/purple sephiroth whispers. it doesn't just happen automatically at any moment. only Marlene seems to be the strange outlier here
seemingly aerith prime uses this power to whisk him and her away from the bottom of the temple when they fall into the abyss?
it's all so fricking moronic and it could have just been 1:1 and it all would have been so grand and fabulous and fantastic and it could have ended the exact same as Disc 1 and would be the same kind of Empire Strikes Back moment that the ending of Disc 1 had.
we could all be talking about how fricking incredible this game is for it's retelling and fleshing out of the original games world and concepts but instead it's entirely based on this meta commentary timeline bullshit that's infected by psychopathic Aerith fans
Is jessie alive
she survived? what a badass
Aerith is made for love
Tifa is made for porn
looking good Tifa
How come we can't see Tifa's scar? You'd think it would be visible from the back at least.
you didn't even play the game dude she was never impaled
Yes she was. You literally see it in the flashback and she shows Cloud the scar on the rooftop.
NTA, but she was slashed, not stabbed. That was shown both in OG and in the Remake continuity, come on.
these are the people who are posting in these threads saying the story is about Aerith
>"this isn't about me. it's about saving the world, and you"
fricking bumbling numbskull motherfrickers
I think half the posters are just trolling
Funfact she didn't say that in the JP script. She only said the materia is to save the world
It's happening, isn't it?
Nomura is falling in love with his own character, Aerith.
This is just 13 all over again.
Aertith is toriyamas second waifu after lightning. Same VA too
She deserves happiness
And I saved her
holy shit I need a woman like that right now
Obviously being the last of her species she is in maximum breeding overdrive.
Whenever the shitposters aren't here and the actual fans get to talk to each other you realise how fricking moronic they all are. They should be glad schizos drown them out and keep them from embarrassing themselves most of the time.
>Rufus can see multiple timelines
>Tseng reports to Rufus that he Ancien is dead
>Rufus goes "WTF are you talking about? Shes right there next to Cloud on our video screen"
