@andrecaldwell4891 yea fulln of rage. I see different party combos for that fight in videos I watch. Maybe it was the last 3 person party you had before this whole thing
I didnt feel it at all in the original but heck after they made her a more fleshed out participant in remake now I can really feel that pain, really does hit the feels more that Cloud truly lost someone very important to him with much more scenes to have players invested of how well they really cared for each other. Just very heartbreaking.
For real, I saw a bunch of comments saying there's no emotion to this one because it couldn't commit one way or the other. Pardon??? I probably deepened my forehead wrinkle from looking so concerned the entire time in temple of the ancients feeling sick to my stomach worrying that she was about to die, cried throughout almost the entire ending sequences and continued to cry about it after the game. I really love Aerith. So...yeah. I felt this. lol
I cried so much at this scene. Even though i truly believe cloud *did* save her(I have a theory I'll put under this main part), I could not help but get so extremely emotional when it showed blood. Here's my theory. Cloud did save aerith and is seeing aerith really there. However, it's the aerith from the timeline he created by blocking sephiroth's sword. There is evidence to support this. Like sephiroth wanting cloud to help him defy destiny and telling cloud he had his blessing and he'd need a final push to join him in defying destiny and merging timelines, how it had the new timeline rainbow efect when cloud blocked sephiroth's sword, how aerith tells cloud "i saw what you did back there. Thanks," how the scene changed when cloud walked past the circle of white whispers surrounding aerith at the end(before walking by them, the group was around aerith. After walking through the whispers, nobody is around), how the wind from the bronco was blowing aerith's hair, how aerith was still standing there saying goodbye after cloud and the others had already flown away, and even more that i cant think of right now off the top of my head. The third game will involve zack trying to make cloud better so that he can save aerith. Not a lot of people seem to remember, but marlene told zack that cloud couldnt save her until hes better. This *has* to have payoff later on. Zack will help to make cloud better so that he can save the aerith from the timeline he made by blocking sephiroth's sword. Then, aerith will be permanently back(she's obviously coming back. She didn't even get her true final weapon in this game) and cloud and aerith will be reunited(theres so much foreshadowing for them being reunited).
I can see it, but at the very end they will still have to fight to return things to the og timeline and wipe all the other timelines from existence, so we will bring her back and then at the very end lose her again for good.
To have left the great ARUUU speechless and soundless for what felt like an eternity.. you know your game has achieved peak emotional impact. As Vision of the MCU articulated, our collective grief for her loss is the perseverance of our undying love for her, and how important she was to each of us. Incredible work by the creators in elevating this scene to even greater heights.
I cried my eyes out when Aerith died in OG FFVII. When it happened in Rebirth? Nothing. There was so much frantic multiverse stuff going on that I didn’t have time to feel anything.
Yeah, me too...I felt that they should have shown Cloud fail to stop Sephiroth, and Aerith is clearly dead. Then show Aerith's brief moment with cloud in a way that was clear that he was back in her "dream". Instead, they confused it a bit and I think lessened two very emotional moments in Rebirth: her death, and when she comes back to fight with Cloud after Zack.
“Please insert disc 2.” I played FF7 decades ago on ps1 and Aerith’s death hit me like a truck. I then stared at the disc swap screen for a while trying to comprehend what happened. I couldn’t do it.
I recently discovered Aruu about a few weeks ago. I loved watching her playthroughs that she posted on TH-cam. She’s such a huge Clerith and she expresses all the time how much she loves Aerith’s character. Which I would say I am as well, which is why I relate to her playthrough so much. However she has not yet posted the last part of her playthrough on youtube so I never got go see her reaction til now. It was utterly heartbreaking 😞.
@@xmant8842 Yeah I think she said she was a multishipper at one point. haha regardless though one thing is sure, she loved Aerith just like alot of us players did. And seeing her cry while she was watching the scene felt like we were mourning a very real cherished friend together.
i remember it like yesterday. over 2 decades ago. i was still a teen. no widespread internet back then. the disbelief. the denial. gripping the controller so hard it creaks. for over two weeks i tried, exhausted every option. replay. save scumming. every corner of the map revisited. every rumor, theory chased and tested. even levelling her up to the max, using various rubber band tricks. winning every single minigame at the gold saucer, to find her final staff. thinking, maybe, just maybe, i didn't do enough to save her. until i find the courage to visit a cyber cafe, and open gamefaqs site. found the answer. every single guide said the same thing. she's gone. then, it finally hit like a truck. oh boy, my first ever gaming depression. found a new purpose after being trashed by Ruby. my first gaming rage. no time to be sad. gotta grind, grind, grind. aah, the good old days.
I just don't know why they took out cloud's speech. Cloud: ...Shut up. The cycle of nature and your stupid plan don't mean a thing. Aerith is gone. Aerith will no longer talk, no longer laugh, cry...... or get angry......What about us...... what are WE supposed to do? What about my pain?
Playing the OG this came as a complete shock!! I’m not sure what to think about Rebirth. I think she’s dead but because Cloud is complete messed up he thinks she is alive or is he seeing her from a different world?? Idk. The OG Seph kills her and then you go straight into fight Jenova with Aeriths Theme music playing! Then they put her in the water afterwards. It was heartbreak and anger! I liked Rebirth but wish they would’ve kept it this scene just like the OG. I guess I’m just saying I’m confused 🫤
how about putting spoiler warning in the thumb nail, is that too hard to do?, the video just came up, when i was just browsing. couldn't avoid it, and i never watched it, your title gave it away
Maybe a hot take but I gotta say I wasn’t too crazy with how the finale played out. I felt like one of the best features of the original was seeing every party member have a different reaction to Aeriths death depending on your party and I was kind of hoping for something similar. I understand that clouds psyche is absolutely screwed up at this point, but idk it felt like there was a bit too much going on during this and prior to it with the whole multiverse back and forth story telling just lost me the first time through. Personally hope the last part is a more straight by forward story without the multiverse of madness going on
Spoiler: (Zack) He thinks he saved her but in reality she died. Its like with him and Zack. Zack died but he can't remember it or remembers it wrong because of his PTSD. He had so many loss, that his brain can't handle it anymore

They should watch the original game they put more in it and they didn't show the sword went through her or cloud put her in the water .I wish they did that for the remake but didn't.
The life stream. Thats how sephiroth travrls between worlds. Aerith can do the same. She does this in Advent. I like Max Dood's theory that there are multiple sephiroths and the one in the lifestream is actually trying to help Cloud. Before crises hints at this.
She died in this timeline. But she's not gone. They've been so faithful with weapons and limit breaks until this point, and we still have yet to see Princess Guard OR Great Gospel. She'll be back, likely from another timeline.
@@river_git’s either that he can see both or Jenova is trying to trick cloud. There’s tons of theories, especially with aeriths oddly sephiroth like turn, the fact that cloud somehow has the black materia, and the one winged angel staff Aerith holds during loveless
These scenes literally had zero emotional impact compared to the original. How people managed to shed a tear over this is baffling. They did Ifalnas death way better honestly.
stop crying, there's no time, stop and fight 🤣 the first reaction was too exaggerated, in my opinion, Sephiroth is the best villain ever created, you don't have to cry, you have to be happy
Never played the original so maybe that’s why but the voice acting from cloud and aerith seemed empty to me. No real emotions to speak of other than “oh ok” from me with this one
How about you can be your emotionless self, and let everyone else be what they want. Not affecting *your* life any. Maybe you need to be the one to "grow up", if all this affects *YOU* this much. Who's the true "child" here... think that one over.
@@tonychampagnejr2197it’s really not overreacting tho😭 i’ve played the og and i knew she was gonna die but there’s a lot of bait making u think her fate will change (which is what happened to me lol) so i didn’t know what to expect and when i saw that she “lived” i obviously felt relieved but then it does the switch where u see she actually did get killed and it hits you like a fucking truck. especially having aerith as an absolute comfort character i was sobbing. just say u don’t get attached to characters instead of saying it’s overreacting💀

I was devastated 27 years ago. I cried like a baby again this year. My goodness…
Aerith's theme strongly starting up again when the boss fight starts pushes the emotions through the roof
The soundtrack alone deserves thee video game Oscar’s equivalent
@genely8372 most ff games ive played had great soundtracks. Usually one of my favorite things about the games as far back as part 4 (2 in u.s.). Jecht fight and sephiroths theme are great. Auron 's theme too. You're definitely right though about ff7 having an amazing soundtrack
Yes it does! Especially with the parties limit breaks being full due to their emotional state.
@andrecaldwell4891 yea fulln of rage.
I see different party combos for that fight in videos I watch. Maybe it was the last 3 person party you had before this whole thing
As soon as I heard it, tears covered my vision. I couldn't see the truth with clouded eyes.
Sephiroth really said: “Sorry fans who wanted everything to change, canon event babes” 🤭
Yeah bro, I remember when Sephiroth said that. And then he did a triple backflip out the room
No matter how many times I watch this scene, no matter how many times I’ve finished the game; it’s gets me every time
It's been three months...watching these videos still makes me cry 😢😢😢
😆
only people who love Aerith will feel this scene
I didnt feel it at all in the original but heck after they made her a more fleshed out participant in remake now I can really feel that pain, really does hit the feels more that Cloud truly lost someone very important to him with much more scenes to have players invested of how well they really cared for each other.
