@josecuestas7246 I think that may be more of localization thing than censorship. Censorship would be trail of blood being replaced with Jenova's slime or that weird smoke that would appear when Sephiroth stabbed the President and Barret, which was one of the few things that bothered me about Remake. Thankfully Rebirth had blood, except for the part when Tseng got stabbed, the weird gas returned for that one, maybe it indicates the fake Sephiroths since it didn't show up when Sephiroth killed the people of Nibelheim?
While I understand that people weren't happy they changed this scene, I also know it was a lose/lose scenario for SE. What could they do exactly? Keep it the same and people would be angry that the emotional impact wasn't the same because everyone and their grandmother knows its coming. Keep Aerith alive and the people would be angry they changed the story. Not really fair in my opinion.
I think people expected a faithful remake that didn’t alter the story after all square enix did technically market this game to be faithful remake that most people wanted 1v1 remake not a trilogy that take years to complete the saga and we can’t say square is not entirely faultless because after all square back in 2015 said they was going to change the story and then they backtrack that (I think) probably not to get backlash from hardcore fans, no matter what square knew from the start it was going to controversial to change the story and making a establish IP from 1997 into a multi part series
I just love that they made a new scene… which means we will have a very new situation going on in part 3. I honestly don’t mind the Remake is not faithful to the OG
@@Kaybossboi this entire Remake debacle is simply Nomura's narcissistic passion project in order to connect it to his shitty movie Advent Children that no one remembers or cares about.
Apparently, Cloud's speech was actually recorded for the new game, but we don't actually get to hear it in the final product. So there's a very high chance we'll see the og Aerith death scene in part 3, uninterrupted. My guess is it will happen when Sephiroth shows Cloud and the others the Nibelheim flashback, once he's done with that part he'll pretty much completely break Cloud by showing him the truth about what happened to Aerith.
I was there when my family played this game back at the late 90s. I'll never forget that moment of Aerith's death. The emotional impact is peak storytelling for me.
You have to remember that this was in 1997, WAY before the internet, and way before spoilers. It was a complete shock. Aerith (Aeris at the time) was a main character, and it was almost unfathomable that something like this could happen. I was 10 years old when I played this game for the first time, and I STILL remember how shocked I was.
Well this was a lot of people’s first Final Fantasy, and the death hits harder in 3D than the 16 bit deaths we got in Final Fantasy 4 and 6. Plus this was one of the few deaths Square didn’t walk back (like basically everyone who died in 4 except Tellah).
I hadn’t noticed until someone pointed it out but when Sephiroth stabs Aerith he does so through the exact same place in her back as he was stabbed by Cloud during the Nibelheim Incident. Even though from the direction he was coming it would have been far more efficient to stab her through her upper back.
I guess there was some truth to Sephiroth saying Cloud doesn't have feelings considering even in here, he doesn't have his Limit Gauge maxed out during the Jenova Life fight while everyone else does.
I was expecting for Rebirth to make it more depressing, but it became a bit more confusing for me until I realized….😢 Also, before Rebirth came out, I was expecting the final fight to happen when Aerith died.
robbed of this in Rebirth. I don't care if we see it in part 3. Getting the true scenes then won't be as emotional. what a mess in rebirth, she 'dies', then stupid 1 hour boss battle, then you just keep seeing her after it. no burial scene.
Still sad, but for the Rebirth edition, this isn't her death scene. She died in the Church. This is just her doing what needs to be done for THIS timeline. She has to die to summon Holy & stop Meteor... Probably. And she is dead, whatever Cloud is seeing, isn't her.
3:35
Aerith: "You should gone for the head."
(And Aerith cast Holy before to die)
I’m sorta annoyed that they censored her being stabbed in rebirth
I’m really annoyed they did.
Yeah, in the Remake saga, they are censoring many things, like the original dialogue of Tifa about "Hate them all", or the beheaded body of Jenova.

@@SephirothsWife7 I'm hoping they'll show it in part 3.

To this day, it confounds(?) me how a single scene is so widely recognized in pop-cultural history...
probably 'cause it's something unexpected

@@killerkdawg88 I remember being more shocked at FF4 because literally every main character kept dying lol
Was 11 when i played this game, first time i saw death in a video game shocked confused sad still pains to thia day 😢
Aerith: Cloud, I'm still alive, I...
*dropped into the water*
Aerith: OH, COME ON!!!

I remembered crying about this SCENE when I was about 10 years old yet I have to fight this badass while crying. Still hits to me til this day
Hmmm Cloud didn’t have limit break at the start either in Rebirth.
I was expecting for Rebirth to make it more depressing, but it became a bit more confusing for me until I realized….😢
Also, before Rebirth came out, I was expecting the final fight to happen when Aerith died.
Recuerdo que llore la primera vez que vi esa escena , un personaje que no merecía morir 😭😭😭😭 aún sigue doliendo
He could've blocked it or sum instead of just standing there lol

Hey how does your game look like that and if it's a mod please tell me which one
Sephiroth and her got things to do to take down Shinra.
They should just remaster this instead of remake,They changed the whole story from the original
Cloud kissess tifa. And aerith dead.
The war is finish
Fuck off. This is the video where she died. Show some respect.
