Shaped my thought about life too honestly. Though I played this when I was like 14. This game was my best friend in absolutely awful time in life. Couldn't of asked for a better game to escape the world from really.
Same, I spent an entire summer off of school with no friends but a copy of this game and a ps1. I didn't understand anything that was going on the way I understand now.
I'm an architect driven to create sustainable buildings. I'm pretty sure that seeing this as a 7 year old is where it all started for me. This made perfect sense to me as a kid, and it still does.
That’s awesome! This game had a profound impact on me. It completely shifted my perspective on what spirituality can even mean. That’s awesome if had a positive impact on you!😊
So fun too compare this with the Rebirth remake, having played the game back in the day and see how this and many other iconic scenes are remade and given 4 generations of polish is just amazing. Well done Square!
I was 13 when I played this, and I still remember the feeling this scene brought me, amazing it's still the same. Mind blowing. Deep, boundless and celestial. Right up to now, I believe planets also have consciousness, and we are all part of it.
This is my favorite scene in this game! In combination with the excellent music it brings a tear to my eye. It also is a eco message about us overusing our planets resources and destroying it.
I'm starting to feel this saga... In X, it was a sin to use machines which apparently (since i don't know the timeline) led human kind to the type of futuristic slum city seen on VII. I wonder who (from Square or Square Enix) established these (and the ones in this video) concepts into the games, and what was the first Final Fantasy to do so...?
+Mario E. Technology and magic (or spirituality) have always been themes in Final Fantasy.....FFVI had a similar thing in their story as well. This is why the new FF's suck ass, they've lost their way in telling a great story.
@@marioe.4400 in VII the Lifestream concept came from Sakaguchi, while the main scenario was written by Kitase, Nojima and Nomura. in X the scenario is only credited to Nojima
No it's not! LOL! Barret was a coal miner and Shinra made them obsolete due to using Mako Energy. Final Fantasy 7s, "eco message:" Coal is the answer! You people with these ideas are hilarious. Accept it as a game instead of propaganda.
This game forever changed how I view spirituality. At the time of this, I was really unhappy and the church I was going to was very dogmatic and judgmental. I didn't agree with what they believed and was forced to go there until I was 12 years old. I started playing FF7 in 7th grade. It completely shifted how I viewed life. It helped open my eyes to A LOT of things. I'm a very spiritual person now and resonate with Eastern belief systems and different mystical traditions. FF7 has a message that really speaks to my spiritual, intellectual, and emotional selves. Why it's my favorite video game of all time. It literally changed my life.
They are Science is a beautiful thing and it like many other things is the universe seeking to understand itself You need to get more excited to learn about it I mean sure, if you mean the flashy fantasy presentation then yeah, but if ur talking just conceptually my point still stands
Original is still better than modern. It’s the original soundtrack and the atmospheric noises that make it for me. Someone should mesh the old and new together haha. Fan made version.
"The soul too returns to the planet. And not only those of humans, but everything on this planet. In fact, all living things in the universe are the same." fucking hell ff7 shaped my life experience in ways ill never even understand
Playing this as. 13 year old it blew my mind, never thought games could be like this. I of course envy my 13 yo self from 1997 who got to experience this all for the first time. The little scenes like this sprinkled throughout the game are what really made it great.
So sad yet deep and very thoughtful one of my favorite parts of any Final Fantasy game I played so far. Bugenhagen is one of my favorite characters of the whole series. I can tell back in the day this would be a mind blowing moment. So thought provoking. So excited to see it in the remake when it gets there. The remake has the potential to be one of the best ever with so many fantastic scenes. I love stories that make you think.
It's funny...years ago when I saw this scene it's not sad... But for some reason that scene made me cry that I even told myself... Why the hell am I crying? I think it's because of the background of everything
Yeah other guy has a point, I agree people overhate 7 cuz of its overrated status to them and they wanna be hipster contrarians But 6 does have beautiful things to say as well, I like em damn near equally. 7 edges out just cuz I like the characters a bit more
3:45 I wonder if their will be a mention of the weapons in that scene in FF7 Rebirth and if yes, will Omega Weapon be mentioned or maybe even quickly shown.
Best fucking goddamn game ever. This always made more sense to me than any IRL religions. If I'm agnostic, it's about the concepts explained in this scene.
It's crazy. The game's graphics are definitely not good anymore. But it still has so much soul that you get engaged nevertheless. Can't wait for this scene in the remake...
On my first plaything of the game, I got to this cutscene and as it was zooming in on the Planet, the screen jumped back to Cloud and somehow I softlocked the game. This happen to anyone else?
I wonder what this guy's gonna look like on the remake probably some douchebag it's going to get ruined I'm looking forward to seeing how They're gonna do golden chocobo and how they going to do the high wind well be over the top and I can't imagine how it's going to look flying that massive ring around on updated version on the screen that's even fits when they how's that slap off of competition Scarlet versus tifa I'm so looking forward to the part where Scarlett falls down then again you can see a lot more of her standing up anyway what they were going on about the old game they commented her looking hideous design was low grade but still pretty good they won't be able to get away with saying that I was surprised you know the character is just a creep back to it the soundtrack for the observatory is going to be impressive and will you actually have to level up Materia the same way you did get the master Materia I like back in the old game is it going to be the same in the new remake I wonder and will people be able to exploit it with the tell me I forgot their name I think it was like a whole group that can cause rage also the characters saying can be used for especially if you and nip you get your limit as well on the process well in the old game probably target that make sure to remove that feature especially now I've just said it if anyone mentions

Shaped your thought for the worst I imagine. Since all this cutscene says is that your soul is destroyed for energy and nothing matters.

Same, I spent an entire summer off of school with no friends but a copy of this game and a ps1. I didn't understand anything that was going on the way I understand now.

@@ryebread7224FF Games will definitely do that for you
I really, really hope you get to try out Ff7 Rebirth. They portrayed this building and the whole Cosmo Canyon in an astonishing fashion
Best scene in FFVII! Still breath taking and heart touching, 20 years later.
right after CAPTAIN? IM THE CAPTAIN
So fun too compare this with the Rebirth remake, having played the game back in the day and see how this and many other iconic scenes are remade and given 4 generations of polish is just amazing. Well done Square!
While this scene could be remade today with better graphics, it is the music that makes it so magical. Still get goosebumps watching it.
It's coming, and it will be glorious.
And that tune is called "Lifestream" (or "The Lifestream"), I believe.
@@douglaswilson2375 Yes it will, my friend. Yes it will.
it’s here! your wish has finally come true!
better graphics means nothing except that we're using more mako energy to get the same result.

I wish science lectures were like this at school, it will be more exciting to learn
it will be like this once VR takes off, or 3D projection technology improves
They are
Science is a beautiful thing and it like many other things is the universe seeking to understand itself
You need to get more excited to learn about it
I mean sure, if you mean the flashy fantasy presentation then yeah, but if ur talking just conceptually my point still stands
One of the best scenes in the game. It's here where you finally go "Shit, so that's what's been going on" and turn a corner story wise
Original is still better than modern. It’s the original soundtrack and the atmospheric noises that make it for me. Someone should mesh the old and new together haha. Fan made version.

"I'll be stand there" -- Bugenhagen. This is a lovely scene, anyhow, with lovely music.

This and X made me think the most. I love both games so much.
"things are being used up and thrown away"
sounds familiar
@CJ P. Whole worlds guiilty.
@CJ P. United States wastes a ton each year as well
Such an amazing and memorable scene
I only started the ff series this year but this has to be one of the best moments in the series
It's funny...years ago when I saw this scene it's not sad... But for some reason that scene made me cry that I even told myself... Why the hell am I crying? I think it's because of the background of everything
You were crying because the truth or it resonated with you, It told you something you forgot you knew.
I really hope they keep this for Remake part 2 and that it's just as deep! I also hope Buganhagen is a soft spoken old man, as I always pictured him.
It’s the small scenes like this that make me scoff at ppl who say 6 is better. Cloud’s dream of aeris in the sleeping forest is another one
I avoid comparing the two. Both beautiful. Like comparing a masterpiece painting to a masterpiece sculpture
Yeah other guy has a point, I agree people overhate 7 cuz of its overrated status to them and they wanna be hipster contrarians
But 6 does have beautiful things to say as well, I like em damn near equally. 7 edges out just cuz I like the characters a bit more
That same sound effect when Bugenhagen sucks the life out of the planet is used in the Mako Reactor theme. Cool.
I love so much how there are lines on the bottom that look like VCR tracking lines. I wish I would have kept my old video game recordings lol.
This literally explains reincarnation perfectly.
3:45 I wonder if their will be a mention of the weapons in that scene in FF7 Rebirth and if yes, will Omega Weapon be mentioned or maybe even quickly shown.
This scene is better than ff6 opera scene tbh
Best fucking goddamn game ever. This always made more sense to me than any IRL religions. If I'm agnostic, it's about the concepts explained in this scene.
That's a shame. God loves you.
@@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers Well then tell him to stop sticking a cactus up my ass every day lol
I feel you
But at the sametime, Lifestream=God, like the concepts aren't mutually exclusive
But the concept of the "lifestream" is very similar to a number of pre abrahamic religions.
would love to see someone remaster this scene in next gen graphics
How does it feels?
That's nice professor but what energy are you using to power your experiments and light show
Let's be honest... IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY SENSE TO THE POINT WHERE EVEN SCIENCE SAYS SIMILAR THINGS NOW
in the newest version (steam) you dont see aerith at 1:09 :c
Ho ho hoooo. Best scene ever.
Looking forward to this in the remake.
It would be cool if they made a place like that in real life.
This just hit me, but does the beginning of the observatory theme remind anyone else of the Academy of Raya Lucaria theme in Elden Ring?
It's crazy. The game's graphics are definitely not good anymore. But it still has so much soul that you get engaged nevertheless. Can't wait for this scene in the remake...
I love the graphics to this day :)
Final Fantasy 7 for life ima get the tattoo
Good old Copenhagen I mean Bugenhagen
😂
anyone know the name of the song in this?
+prezvilla "The Flow of Life"
this sums up the current oil crisis, we need to harness the suns love instead of sucking up the planets blood.
Mr. Clean yep agree. Humans need to ease up on the black gold and bring some new technologies into the fold before it's too late
Me too. They just start blinking that's all.
On my first plaything of the game, I got to this cutscene and as it was zooming in on the Planet, the screen jumped back to Cloud and somehow I softlocked the game. This happen to anyone else?
Yes
I wish I could see this scene but it freezes on me are you playing this on pc
So basically any oil corporation is Shinra in our world so once the oil runs out something bad will happen This is why we need clean energy :p
Not oil. But nuclear plant
3:15 End of Evangelion
SO much better than Rebirth
No it is not lol this is bad
@@thepatternofchairs9814 not bad. Way better than
hmm, so that's whats turning the frogs gay.

yes it sucks cause its an awsome game imo

This scene ruins FFVII. "Your soul will be used for energy and NOTHING matters in life. No afterlife lol!" That's this scene in a nutshell.
@Adán Mendoza Soria Aww, little guy believes that his pitiful existence is, "it."
Enjoy your eternity of torture!
It's just fiction. The reality will be stranger and more profound still.
this scene in remake is insane 🤌 the first look drops today
Beats the crap remake by a mile. They should've just re-released this with options for FPS and RTS modes, and the kinks hammered out.
You mean the remade version shown in the trailer? Because if you mean that, blud wait until the whole scene actually comes out with the game release. How can anyone judge anything without seeing it completely?
@@juliogomesdesouza9035 I saw the remake. It's stupid.
