The mental break of Cloud Strife was the first exposure to PTSD for a lot of gamers.
Anthony Zolman i have only dark memories of ff7 cause i was 8 when i beat it lmao
I never thought of it like that but you are absolutely right!!
@@JMartini810 I played xenogears when it came out shortly after FF7, and to this day is one of my favorite games. There was an off hand joke made by an editor in PSM magazine at the time that the two developers seemed to be competing to see who could write the most mentally unstable character. I can trace my lifelong interest in psychology back to these two games.
cloud has always been my favorite lol but I knew everything accept his having false memories, I just thought that he didn't wanna remember. (has anyone else watched kings glaive/ardent children like 5 times each??
Its more than that. It's DID. Dissociative identity disorder.
For someone who wasn't good enough to join SOLDIER he became strong enough to beat Sephiroth
He stabbed him from behind.
@@outthere3461 and lifted Sephiroth with their sword impaled in him and yeeted him to a wall.
Yeah, I bet that isnt enough to get into SOLDIER either
Thach Nguyen it’s Cloud’s weak mental strength and lack of confidence that didn’t allow him to become a SOLDIER. Physically, he was great tho.
When Cloud (real Cloud) is committed and driven, he’s a strong willed guy. Normally, he lacks confidence and willpower.... well, before 7 happens anyways. He’s Captain America with a -10 to confidence
@@MultiSpicy123 in crisis core he was never all that strong, when sephiroth stabbed him, the mako and jenova cells in his body finally kicked in, thats where the sudden surge of strength came from. and after the hojo experiments 5yrs later, he became who he is now because of the sephiroth cells mixed into his body.
They really nailed the spikey but natural hair in Remake
Yeah that could not have been easy, and im sure there were a few funny versions lol
Yeah
i imagine they just looked at prompto and accentuating it
So in other words, Cloud is carrying on Zach's dream whilst making it his own and without him knowing.
yep
Yep. Was a really well made way of showing what PTSD can actually do to you. That + all the science/fantasy mumbo jumbo Made Cloud go full multiple personality disorder by the Time FFVII starts. It's better explained in the original FFVII/Crisis Core.
Oh and they really dialed up to eleven the PTSD on the Remake
Matixxx972 eleven?? nah more like fourteen
yep. He didn't like his true self, because he always thought he was weak, useless. Nomura stated Cloud's true personality is a dorky (in a good way) one.
@@isaac-77 We don't talk about fourteen here.
How you not gonna show Aerith and Zack reuniting at the end of Advent Children, effectively allowing Cloud to forgive himself?
well, they didnt show basically nothing about the zack own history
Yea, it's basically the end of his character arc, they even title the accompanying song 'Cloud Smiles'.
Ikr, not a lot of people care enough to mention what was basically the ending of the Original Cloud. The Cloud that an entire generation grew up with.
He lets go of his guilt, Zack & Aerith go into the Lifestream together, and humanity is free to prosper without Shinra or the Geostigma pushing them down.
Isnt it aeris
@@dragonthebeast730 but isn't it aerith?
Whoah, why you hating on young Cloud so much? The other kids made fun of him for not having a father, that's why he didn't get along with them. Do you not remember the flashback of him crying to his mother? Also that Tifa says that Cloud was a crybaby when he was young.
Savant Slacker they’re using cliff notes, they didn’t actually play the original I guess lmao🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
@@BreakingBernz yeah cliff notes for sure, lots of points not entirely correct but the larger plot points are.
So Tifa was an asshole
Savant Slacker speaking of which, did they ever confirm what happened to papa Strife? Deadbeat drunk? Died building the reactor? Faceless soldier lost on a meaningless battlefield? A simple line would satisfy my curiosity
@@Nexuish He went unmentioned in the main game from what I recall (it has been a few years though),
Looking at a Wiki article it appears he had died but doesn't elaborate on that at all.
Zack walked, so Cloud could run
It's actually "Zack died so Cloud could walk"
*I'm sorry* :(
No it’s Zack died so cloud could have his memory get screwed up
Zack died so Cloud could live for two of them :')
Zack kicked the bucket so Cloud could SPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED with his motorcycle /s
@@divaalfirman3295 YOU SHOULD BE VERY SORRY
This video: "Mutant cat thing."
Red XIII: "No, I'm a lab rat dog."
Red’s true species is Floppa
Yo, came here to say this. How in the world did they get a CAT?!
Question : What is Red XIII?
A. Rat
B. Cat
C. Dog
D. All above
@@2000sKingdomHeartzFudanshi Barret: No, he’s my TALKING DOG BEST FRIEND!
Yeah, y’all kinda messed up the events of the Nibelheim Incident. Tifa didn’t “bring Cloud to safety” it’s actually the exact opposite. Cloud comes inside after Zack looses to Sephiroth and brings an injured Tifa to safety, then takes the Buster Sword from Zack and runs Sephiroth through with it. Sephy brushes him aside and dips with Jenova’s head and an injured Cloud follows him out, gets stabbed in the shoulder and then YEETS SEPHIROTH OFF THE PLATFORM WITH HIS OWN SWORD (which is absolutely insane & one of my favorite scenes in the game). Y’all should definitely retake this one.
Tifa brings cloud to saftey when he gets injured. Cloud wakes up after that and goes into the reactor. He sees tifa but doesnt take her out. He runs toward sephiroth instead
Young King Kush more like left out not “messed up” this is a quick recap they don’t need to bring up every detail like cloud using the buster sword
At that moment, Cloud went from zero to a Hero
they got a bit wrong not just that
maybe ? the ff7 remake is just a memory of the life stream where the events have already happened and the arbitors of fate are just ensuring the flow of the stream is true
Cloud most likely suffers from dissociative amnesia, a disorder usually caused by severe trauma where the sufferer represses and seemingly forgets the traumatic memory/memories or recalls them unclearly, but it still lingers at the back of their mind. To put it simply, it's basically the brain saying "I can't deal with this at all, let's just pretend it never happened". It affects the sufferer's sense of identity and causes them to be unable to recall important information about themself, and sometimes, in Cloud's case, causes them to develop memories that never happened to fill in the gaps. The disorder takes at least 6 months to develop after the traumatic event, and FFVII began 1 year after Zack's death, so the break of Cloud's psyche was a slow one (and one he had no one to help him through, which explains its severity). Though Sephiroth had some control over him in the scene where he attacked Aerith, this also served as Cloud's breakdown. It gets a bit unclear from here (as is the intention due to his disorder's unclear and unpredictable nature) but I believe the young Cloud symbolises that he never moved on from his childhood trauma and so his mental state is still that of a scared and traumatised child. When he attacks Aerith, you can move around the young Cloud outside of his body but have no control over Cloud himself, and I think this and Sephiroth's control symbolise a dissociative episode, as people experiencing such episodes often feel like they are outside of their own body and can't control themselves. The second time he loses control (when he almost kills Aerith), his friends manage to stop him. Dissociative episodes most easily happen when the sufferer is alone, and this shows that having loved ones around you can keep a dissociative disorder at bay (this is at least true for me). Cloud is a wonderful depiction of a disorder so seldom talked about and his struggle to rediscover his memories and identity is so real for so many people. His final line in Advent Children hit me like a truck because it's a struggle I can relate to myself and like him, I've felt very alone in my life because of it.
Disclaimer: I'm not a psychologist, I speak here from only personal experience and research.
Your words warmed my heart. I can relate with you because I had a lonely and sad social life with epilepsy episodes followed by short memory losses and panic attacks. But now I'm more emotionally stable because of my boyfriend, he helped me with my sad and lonely traumatic past. I hope you are alright now, if not I'll give you a hug because I am strong emphatic person. 🤗 And I wish for you to find fulfilment and happiness in life.
@@amaliafilip2886 I wish you fulfillment and happiness too, our journeys will be long but we can get through them, I know it! As for now my life is much better but I'd been crying when I read your reply and it made me cry again but from happiness :') tysm, I wish you well
Its because of his prolonged exposure to mako
Sorry, only skimmed the comment, but Cloud’s amnesia was due to prolonged exposure to Mako. This video is kind of misleading. The Jenova cells (which have the ability of ‘mimicry’) he was injected with during the experiments is what caused Zack’s traits and memories to imprint onto him. So we’re attributing human explanations for something that was caused by magic, basically. Sorry to be a bore! What you said was interesting though
@@funkyfranxno its not that
I love the aspect of failing in the SOLDIER admission. It’s not often you see bad ass characters not achieve their goals like in real life
Especially seeing how he kept talking about how he was in SOLDIER, it was a major sense of pride for him and garnered him a lot of respect in Avalanche. Then he remembers he failed to get in but still got the special injection that the SOLDIERs get. I love the way his backstory unfolds.
So we need to make the most of the time we have. To live our lives the way we wanna live.
-Wise words from Aerith
You are actually in every single video.. Bring the mustache please...
Wow ,Interesting....
You are wverywhere
Oh you again hi
But you can't fall in love with me.
Of the numerous inconsistencies in your video, one irks me most: Red XIII isn't a 'mutated cat thing', he is of an ancient race that once lived at the time of the Cetra, probably predating the Cet. Hojo was experimenting on him, most likely interested their long lifespan, measured in hundreds of years. Cosmo Canyon and his back story was an awesome part of the game.
yup Nanaki was a tank
Eddie Gussler II yah she did it on a whim lots of facts here is a lil misleading
This is a video by random people who do this only for the cash, of course they’ll mess up somewhere.
Agree a lot misinformation here.
Too much important stuff glossed over, more in-depth with non-important stuff, many things explained a bit off or flat out wrong. It's sad, I haven't played FFVII in almost 2 decades and remember all this. This is why I unsubscribed from Watch Mojo. Thanks for the comments and support guys!
I would like to see both Vincent's and Sephiroth's timeline.
Me too
Throw in Zach and Genesis too while we’re at it.
Came here to say that. Also, Mobile Mike’s suggestions too. I might be a lil obsessed with this world lmao.
Nathan Dotson nah we already know Sephiroth’s. I agree with Vincent though.
Me three
I love how ff7 is like the Star Wars of the gaming world
keep those sweet dough flowing
lnterestingg no that would be ff12
Jhe Kodie legit no idea what ff12 is about 😂
lnterestingg look it up on youtube and it’s parody ff7 didnt seem like Star Wars to me but ff12 really seem like it lol
th-cam.com/video/_IC_zGHroeA/w-d-xo.html
For further clarity of Cloud's identity crisis, his J cells were a driving factor. The "voice in his head" convinced him that he was Sephiroth's closest operative. This gave Cloud a sense of being that would lead him back to Sephiroth. If not for Tifa, Cloud would have become another Reunionite and wandered toward Sephiroth's location. It was the familiarity of Tifa that allowed him to hold onto his humanity.
Also, something some people don't look past at face-value, the Sephiroth we chase is nothing but a J-cell reconstruction. Those cells can take on ANY matter, not just biological. So when you see that Masamune, it's hardened and tempered J cells. Pretty freaky.
Not gonna lie during my childhood i thought all FF games only about cloud lmao. But cloud is really the best FF protagonist ever also the reason why i start playing FF series
Hope 16 is good, i only loved 5, 9, 10 and 13, the rest were meh for me
Come oooon bro, at the end of advent children aerith literally talks to cloud telling him to basically move on, and that she never wanted an apology its like.. the most beautiful moment of resolution in the series! PLUS Zack shows up for a second to do that "im proud of you" sort of smirk which lets US know that cloud is a f*cking boss
"of all the pretty boys with big swords" HMMmmMmMmMMM
I hate my mind
Mifutakato guess am not matured yet
Not a word. NOT. A SINGLE. WORD.
I dont get it what?
Dirty mind=joy forever.
I mean, who wouldn't want a timeline about Vincent the gunslinging probable vampire?
He's either a vampire or a warlock spellsword
A two minutes video telling that after the meteor he's basically sulking in his ex's cave for years
@@DoNutx777 and also has a devil trigger chaos form thanks to his dad
4:57 he just wants to say "where's my money?"
wait he was childhood friends with tifa…….she even mentions that she didn't think when she made him make the promise to help her it wouldn't invole all the crazy stuff that's happening
Tifa thought they are childhood friends but after she saw Cloud's real memories she found out that her own memories were not that clear because of the incident that put her in a coma for days. She and Cloud are neighbors but never have a chance to interact with each other as friends until Cloud told her he will go out to be a soldier and that is when Tifa started to think more about Cloud
Liam Keylock bruh
anids1988 they were never child hood friends, they were just neighbors. Clouds narcissism thought he was above everyone in his hometown including Tifa.... that’s why he ignored any type of interaction with his neighbor. It only took the death of tifa mom when cloud chased after the kids climbing up to the mountain.... everyone bailed but cloud who stuck around to save tifa. That’s when the strong attachment she had for cloud began... it’s like a scenario where you have been bullied by someone for so long and when they show a ounce of kindness a relationship such as friendship and even love can spark... when tifa found cloud after all those years, it was more of a feeling of pity though... like finding an acquaintance of yours is homeless and sitting at the curb side of the street...
By childhood friends, she means they were acquaintances as a child. Ouch
Yes... Because of tifa stupidity falling in the bridge .. She forgot it .. Making all the blame to cloud.... I think in ff7 disc 3
Well... Cloud and Tifa were friends. He was just excluded from the group a lot, but they still talked. He didn't misremember them being friends. They still talked and were very aware of each other as neighbors. He only scared Tifa with the fact that HE KNEW about the Nibelheim incident when Tifa didn't see him there at all. The writing in this game is so damn good though.
Agree, what a really deep story and lore, but still easily understandable.
I don't think they were friends as kids? They were neighbors yeah, but Cloud didn't really talk to her. I remember Tifa saying it was weird when Cloud asked to meet her at the water tower cus they weren't really friends
Shin-Ra.
Aerith
Not a mutant, not a cat.
Robotic Moogle Puppet.
Sephiroth made the Sephiroths we've seen by controlling Jenova.
WAS childhood friends with Tifa.
In the original ff 7 square enix intentionally named her Aeris bcs Japanese people read "th" as "s"
Correct me if I'm wrong ✌🏻
"Aerith" is right
@@xckx9125 you are correct
Jesus thank you!
@@xckx9125 kinda correct, it was a translation error not an intentional decision. This is due to, as you said, "su" at the end of Earisu meaning both "s" and "th" since there isn't a character for "th" in Japanese
Damn this is such a GREAT story. Someone should remake it so the story could be told to...
errr wait..
Oh boy you're in for a real shock when you reach the ending
I wouldn't call FF7 a "remake" anymore lol.
@@number0017 but it is a remake of the game FF7. They have a few changes as well. So you can not call it a remake but.... You'd be wrong.
A lot is the same at the beginning of the remake but it turns into a completely different story half of this vid is now non cannon
@@jtmoneygames9556 not a non cannon. Just an alternative timeline or destiny
I wasn’t even going to buy the remake. I totally forgot I played crisis core and now I’m invested again.
Damn you
Zen don’t do it if you love the OG, the remake basically fucked up the timeline, watch the ending.
klowexodar I liked the ending. Also this game is a remake it’s there in the name itself.
@@klowexodar it's not a fucked up timeline it's not the old game it's more a alternative timeline and it's made better
Daniel Colyer made better? Dude are you Nomura in disguise? If that’s your opinion I simply don’t agree with your judgment.
@@danielcolyer6740 if he want better just make another final fantasy story dont mess up with history
but cloud really was friends with tifa tho he just didn't get into soldier....
Yup they were friends , cloud thought he was a clone at The time ,
Not realy that much of friends though, Tifa used to bully him when they where young.
Sorta kinda but not really. Tifa kind of exaggerated how close they were, but that wasn’t entirely her fault since young cloud was bullied into being a touch antisocial. It’s a more complicated “childhood friend trope” which I appreciate
@@jbox6315 hi I don't want to watch past 5 mins because I'm just started the game. Does cloud believe he's a clone and that comes into play later?
@@ricardo5910 She didn't bully him the boys she hung around with did but she was always nice to him. I play the game at least two times a year as it is my favorite game in the series because of the story
The thing with "holy" is that it was not strong enough to counter "meteor", thus the planet "gaia" came in to intervene with its lifestream and fight on its own.
Holy wasn't ready by the time meteor hit.
and then yeah the earth used the lifestream to help holy repel meteor completely
It was because Holy was too late
Wasn't it also partially because they shot a rocket at the meteor, making it even deadlier than before?
Holy is the only thing that can completely destroy meteor. It was not able to reach meteor in time only because it was blocked by the barrier because of Sephiroth. Finally when it was unleashed it was too late as meteor already came too close to the planet and it's collision with holy was creating a devastating effects which was going to destroy the planet. This is when Aerith commands lifestream to create a lifestream sheild covering the entire planet.
This is one of the best explanations of Cloud I've seen. Thanks for the easy to follow details 👍
Thank you for the video! I did finish the original FF7 more as 20 years ago as a kid who didn't know English well, so could only appreciate sound and visuals, yet story's really the strongest part.
Looking forward to paying my favorite childhood characters a visit as soon as the game relases on PC.
Wow great video thank you! I’m endeavoring to get a clearer picture of the original game as the remake series gets released. This is a big help. *Subscribed!*
Oh my God, thank you so much for wrapping this whole thing up. I played the original one years ago when it first came out and just started playing the remakes and could not put the pieces all together. Thank you so much.
I’ve never played ff7 before but clouds arc is really interesting and this helped me understand his past
Seems you have the Nibelheim incident jumbled up because Cloud is the one who brought Tifa and Zack to safety. Also, Cloud DID confront Sephiroth- didn't imagine doing that. When Tifa found Cloud, he said it'd been 5 years since they last met, but Tifa thought it was 7 years, which is why she wanted Cloud to stick around so she could figure out what was going on with him.
you forget that cloud was taken into the past and fought along side heroes during the events of final fantasy tactics and then went back to his own time but lost all memory of this happening.
And then in another time cloud fought along side squall and tidus and all the other ff heros and then lost all his memory of that
j Box that was actually proven to NOT be canon to any of the FF timelines. Just like how kingdom hearts isn’t canon to the FF timeline either.
@@darkstylezvideo i knew kingdom hearts wasn't cannon i wasn't a fan of kh that much
FF tactics War of The Lions IS Canon though???
Wtf
Sydney your comedic timing is on-point, explanations is succinct and professional presented. You've just earned another subscriber, you've easily become one of my favourite youtube presenters!
Simp
@@OrganizationXIII Simpin’ ain’t easay
error, cloud does stab sepheroth with the buster sword clean through before sepheroth comes back and impales him. and they are not frozen the chambers their in are the mako treatments which since Zack has already been through them it doesn't effect him. since one of the major side effects of mako treatments is that the persons eyes change a mako green.
Cloud took Zack's memories in part to PTSD, as well as the Mako/Jenova cells.
It's pronounced Kuh-Daj, not Kah-Daj.
Nanaki (Red XIII) is not a "mutated cat thing"
It's ShinRa, not SheenRa.
Cloud and Tifa were childhood friends.
The kids bullied him, that's why he wasn't friends with them in Nibel.
Actually the kids never bullied him, he thought he was special so he purposefully ignored them. Cloud is very mature about explaining this, within the original FFVII, in the lifestream sequence when your fixing his mind.
He explains how he's prejudiced, he feels different and not like those silly dumb kids. He wanted to be strong so he would get into fights. He kinda made himself the loner.
@@karissycloud1883 it's been about 10 years since I played any of the FF7 Compilation games, but I could have sworn the kids bullied him for not having a dad.
At any rate, this video wasn't all that accurate 🤷♂️
she's pronouncing it more correctly than any official english dub. if you knew enough japanese, you'd realize that. she's not saying it wrong, she's just the only english speaker you've heard saying it right.
77dayo actually even the devs of the game pronounce it shin-ra but my real question why did they switch from (mah-ko) to (ma-ko) I guess cuz it sounds the like the way it’s spelt but idk man
Actually, they have explained everything pretty accurately about Cloud's memory crisis in this video. Cloud never took Zack's memories. Tifa and Cloud were never childhood friends, they barely new each other. Tifa and her friends always ignored, outcasted Cloud because of which he developed a superiority complex. He got Tifa's attention only when most of other guys already left the village and when he told her that he is going to be a soldier.
Oh man. That was really excellent, thank you for this
That was INCREDIBLY helpful, actually! Thank you! And yes, Vincent timeline would be GREAT!
You know what, I've never played FF7 or even heard the full story and I used to hate Cloud because of all of his "Brooding" but now that I've heard his story I take all of that back... He suffered so much. Now I feel bad for all the stuff for my man. He literally lost his mind because of the death around him and then had the very man that murdered his mother toy with his mind! That's Crazy!
Crisis Core made me cry years ago when I first played it. And yet, that ending still makes me cry.
Thanks so much for this video, I really enjoyed it.
this is the best summary of the game I have been able to find. it actually seems like you've creatively filled in some plot holes. that is helpful for me because the game left me very confused.
That was so helpful. I just finished FF7 Remake and have never played a FF7 game before, and was really confused by everything. But it all makes sense now. Thank you :)
Nafis Haider the remake has a different timeline they change the timeline at the end after the final battle zack survives at the end of the game instead of dying and avalanches dog is different
@@tyreekrose2667 i hope Squar Enix do not completly erase advent children from the cannon, that movie marked my childhood
@@Neo-wg4hh yea same
after watching this video, remembering all the past about himself, i had a same feeling when tifa reconstructing clouds memory in lifestream 😂😂😂, so this is what it feels like
maybe the lifestream is real after all
Thank you for this great video
Really well done. Sums it up pretty nicely.👍
Yes, please post a Vincent timeline as well. Thank you in advance!
This is why i loved FFVII the whole storyline was fantastic, it was the first ever RPG i remember playing and it is the one that got me into future RPG games.
4:19 to add to more of what was said another reason many think is cause Zack had a ability much like one for all and could give his cells and abilities to others which could be a reason he started seeing things he was never around for which Zack got from his superior who sadly passed in a similar manner
I never played ffvii but after finishing the remake, cloud's character and the entire storyline makes so much more sense. Alternate timelines, huh?
I thought Noctis was my favorite but when I saw cloud... boy oh boy was I happy
This was really well done.
Great video! Thank you!
Then he defeated galeem and darkon in the world of light nuzlocke
@Alex hell yea
Wait, you did that?
nuzlock? i think its called adventure mode (correct me if its a joke lmao)
@@inactivechannel0853 it's technically adventure mode but everyone calls it world of light
FFVII isn’t the greatest RPG, however it is one of the greatest games ever made. You weren’t playing one guy to kill monsters, you were a flawed, hilarious, mischief prone gang of misfits, freaks, sailor talking friends, that were there for each other at moments of intense crisis in a world that was going to end at the expense of some mad psycho’s attempted transition to deity.
the perfect summary
so what'sthe greatest RPG? in your opinion
this describes FF2 FF6 and FF7...maybe FF9 and FF15 depending on how liberal you use the term sailor
Sephiroth didn't just attempt. He succeeded in becoming a god.
3 people murdered a psychotic deity
@@byksEBM I prefer Drakengard & Nier
Best explanation I’ve heard ! Been playing this game for 20 years 🤗🤗🤗
Finally !! Thank you… .. what a good video
For anyone curious, the way she's pronouncing Cait Sith is closer to the Japanese way of saying it, ケット・シー , or "Ketto Shii".
Saying it how you would think its said in English is 2 steps removed in translation
The developers got the name from a gaelic fae-folk called a cait sith, or (cat fairy/spirit), and its pronounced (kaht-shii)
Source: I speak Japanese and Gaidhlig, but Final Fantasy Wiki and Wikipedia can help too
The scene where cloud tells tifa he wants to join soldier was apart of his actual well tifa and clouds past it happened , the part of him replacing zack tifa said it wasn't him whou came back but she didn't know cloud was a shinra grunt
thank you, now I understand the timeline and the whole story.
I have played this game since PS1 and didn’t realize the entire story until today . Thanks for the explanation!
Band wagon: yea we got room for one more.
Leaderboard: cool I've been a fan for so long, aeris is my favourite character, hope nothing bad happens to her.
I really hope that the remake expands a lot on what they do after the game. And since stuff might be changing hopefully some people get their happily ever afters
Amazing stuff thank you
thanks for this one ^^
This is really good for people who haven't played the original games before the remake
Well now is a little bit useless, because the FF7 timeline became almost the same mess as the Xmen movies timeline :/
@@Neo-wg4hh yeh but it still sums up clouds story in the og
Cloud continue been a delivery services after FF7: AC.
Zero hahaha
thanks for video!!
Thanks for explaining
It was beautifull what Cloud did with the Bastard Sword. Making a kind of monument in memory of both amazing characters Aerith and Zack... Cryable, but really nice.
One of the most attractive fictional characters ever and STILL ISN'T LAID ?! C'MOM
What do you mean he isn't laid??? He and Tifa were living together in AC and even "adopted" Denzel. At the end, there's a picture of him, Tifa, Marlene, and Denzel (much like a family picture) and when Aerith and Zack are in the doorway of the church together, they both smile encouragingly at Cloud and Cloud then looks at Tifa and smiles. Seems pretty indicative of a relationship to me.
Well, almost at the end of the original FF7 game, there's a scene where the party temporarily disbands while Cloud and Tifa are the only ones alone outside of the airship spending their last time together before the final battle. If the player somehow gains Tifa's affinity level throughout the whole game, there will be a different dialogue shown . Tifa then tells Cloud: "Words aren't the only way of showing someone how you feel". The next scene shows Tifa resting into Cloud's shoulder while he's telling her to wake up and it's time to go.
Cloud and Tifa then get on board inside the airship and surprisingly, all of their friends show up! They even tell them that they watched the whole thing, making Tifa feel embarrassed. I'm not sure if this implies that they had sex, but it's freaking funny!
Edit: Here's the video about that dialogue!

i personally like how they keep him a pure character and didn't put blatant sexual relationships between characters in the game. Any relationships in the game tend to be implied only.
So guys the question is team Tifa or team Aerith personally I used to be arithmetic but now that I’ve invested years into the game and he kind of only likes Aerith cuz of zacks memories I think Tifa’s the better match and Tifa keeps him more grounded
C'mon... Is getting laid really is your benchmark for your worth? Fricking sad at how insecure people are.
Definitely one of my Favourite stories to ever told in the video game world Canon
thank for explain!!! now I understand what movie i use to watching went i was young!
cloud suffers from ptsd, surpressed memory and alter ego.
his memory is a amalgamation of traumatic events in his life.
as seen in ffvii remake with seph. the flames of nibelheim blurring with following seph around in the mansion.
as well as his attack on seph, which killed seph. screwed up part and hard part to follow is. sometimes cloud puts
himself in zack's shoes. which is why cloud gets confused as to who did what at that time.
i could go on, but i won't.
70 out of 100 leaderboard.
I'm only partway through, but I love it! It would be really cool if you guys did a timeline for Sephiroth!
Bro I love these series thanks to the remaster, i love that game
Thank you so much I understood it the whole story of cloud
"The hunt for..."
RAID SHADOW LEGENDS
Tifa and cloud they are not that close but tifa definitely have a place in Cloud heart since young. And they have connection ,it obvious because of the protective of tifa. So even though not childhood friend it doesn't really matter. She is the keypoint for him to find himself back. 😊
They actually were close, but stopped playing after Tifa's mother passed or a bit before for some reason. Tifa has always been important to Cloud. VERY important.
Hope in part 2 the will kiss, have more moments
very well researched.
you got my life pretty accurate, you havent been stalking me to get this info have you?
The way Shinra is pronounced in this video scratches my ears...
that and Cait-Sith... I suppose she's trying to pronounce it as if it was in Japanese, but... it would require two i's.
Thank you! Even in the remake, all the characters pronounce it like "in". Not a long E. I am kinda sad they didn't keep Aeris' name with the S. There's a video explaining why the correct pronunciation is with the S, not the TH. But it's a small thing.
Also, I had always said Mako with a long A, rather then an "ah" sound, but that's just me.
I need that Vincent story please!!
Wow, hearing mispronunciation of terms in comparison to how I prefer to pronounce things in this world is surprisingly hurting a vein above my eyebrow. But that’s ok lol, the content is great! I will replay through the full game on my phone, it never gets old! 👍🏻👍🏻❤️ Nicely done retelling!
Never got around to playing FF7 but heard all about it from a friend who was obsessed with it. I started playing the remake and I'm in love. Gonna see how I can go back to play the original, see what's different.
When they blame Cloud for the bridge accident makes you think “Wow parents are stupid”.
And now we have new timeline stuff due to the events of the crew defying their destiny in remake
I mean, it was already a new timeline, just based off the fact that it's a Remake/retelling of the original FF7. Them defying their destiny just ensured that they don't have to follow the same future as the original timeline.
I play FF: WOTV and we had lots of collab summons, this really helped me learn of the character's storyline and background. 🙏
That was better than I expected
SHEEEEEENRA energy company...
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Ok I'm not the only one lol
Even if you didn't understand Japanese phonetics, I think shin-ra is pretty self-explanatory as its the same in English.
@@humantacos9800 And the fact that they say it it cc:ff7... multiple times.
SHIN
*_slaps shin_*
SHIN-RA
So many of her pronunciations really bothered me lol
A vincent timeline would be so f**king helpful.
I love the mix of original ff7 clips and ones from the remake
Yoo much needed, I’ve never played any of these games and they are kinda confusing first glance. I’m definitely checking out this remake to start
And Cait Sith who is a...
*"Yeah..."*
Yup that pretty much sums up Cait Sith until you get his full backstory.
After finishing FFVII remake, this helps me connect the dots. Thank you.
Me too
Wow...Love it....Nice recommendation!!!!...
cant wait after this quarantine to buy a copy of this game!!
I would like a Complete In-Depth Final Fantasy VII Timeline Video.
Benjamin Degley I second this wholeheartedly
