I just love that Aerith’s face is presented at the beginning and end of the game with the same 3 “lifestream” chimes. She isn’t really gone, just a part of the lifestream, and is protecting the planet and her friends even now. Such a goddamned great story.
i was about to coment that when i rememnber about ff7 its comes in mind that ending, the part where appears aeris face with the beauty medley , and ends with that caracterist sound... just chills me,. ! 22:00 masterpiece in every scope!
Finished the game for the 1st time this year and let me tell you I will never forget this game and the journey it took me on and the emotions it was able to get out of me.
I just beat it today and I’m glad I played it after so many years of hearing how good it was. Definitely lived up to the hype I hope the remake is good.
Was about to beat it today. Sephiroth kept kicking my ass, but I wasn't about to give up. When I finally did beat him and that final confrontation between him and Cloud, everything I had experienced on the game came flooding back to this moment was building towards. And then my Likit Break charged... And then my game crashed and so here I am.
super nova destroy all the other planets, but couldnt kill the party Edit: wow, never realised so many likes to my comment XD thanks I like this Supernova, but the logic behind this magic is so weird
I know there are a lot of comments like this already, but I beat FF7 today for the first time after beating the Remake... and I was blown away. I was wondering what the game offered outside of Midgar (it didn’t help that I was spoiled by the Remake in terms of the Midgar arc), but when I made it to Kalm and had the flashback of Sephiroth and Cloud, and the rest of the game happened... I had no words for how much of a grand journey it was. I am even more excited for the other parts of the FF7 Remake, and even if they change it up, I couldn’t really care because I know it will still be a grand journey regardless. As someone who hadn’t gotten into many RPGs outside of games like Earthbound when I was younger, I’m glad this could be the game to reel me back into them.
I remember in FF7 when you fight WITH Sephiroth, but he is level 50 and you are level 1, so you keep dying and he resurrects you everytime, epic moment :)
@@mickcv4554 yea when I saw that for the first time I was in shock. I've beat this game 20 times, and beat all weapons. I remember fighting ruby thinking how is this possible that he could be so strong! then you get so good ruby is easy.
That shot of Aeris opening her eyes with the music changing to recall the intro is beautiful. We see a focus on her eyes at three times in the cutscenes, first they are open in the intro, then they close around the halfway point and then they reopen in the ending.
@@strangevision99 my man, I have beaten FFVII when I was 9, 23 years ago... That final scene following the end of the game hits me in my heart hard every single time. It's like dying, and having your life flash before your eyes after witnessing a great beginning to the fantastical end.
That final showdown between Cloud and Sephiroth in the lifestream is just so damn epic. Cloud completes his character arc, and shows he has gained the mental strength to resist Sephiroth's manipulations by completely destroying his spirit with his ultimate Limit Break, Omnislash.
At 22:15 The moment you realize Aerith had everything under control the whole time. That brought me shivers. The team just needed to beat sephiroth who was holding back Holy and the lifestream from Being summoned by Aerith to save the planet.
22:12 is the exact same scene on the Final Fantasy VII remake. On the opening, her eyes isn't closed like this scene and the scene on remake's opening. On the original opening, her eyes stares at that mako energy. That means, all of the game play of the original is just something that she saw on leaking mako energy on pipe. This time, AERITH COULD STILL BE ALIVE!
The reason being those were supposed to be the models used throught the game but it was strainging the console back then due to also having to have the enviroments along with them so they compromised it to using them for just the final duel between Cloud and Sephiroth (also helped due to the choice of it not having an enviroment and it being more of a mental battle)
Oh man for all the years of growing up with this game around me, playing it a little but never getting through it, I only just got to the last boss now after 40hrs gameplay (done a serious revisit recently, as a kid I always felt it was way too hard for me to play but think it was just cause I was a kid) and most of the game has been relatively easy, except for the last boss. So it's good to see the ending, interesting story - easy to forget how older games (especially JRPG's) go on for so long. Started getting so long I was just wanting to finish it, so used to games being like 10-20hrs max these days. Long games are definitely better though, really enjoyed being able to finally play this one through.
If only Aerith hadn't decided to go it alone and tell the others her plan lol. We omnislashed the wrong guy though it should of been Hojo what a sick person.
Mike Magwire Wrong, actually. You see, since the "th" doesn't exist in the Japanese alphabet, it was made Aeris instead of Aerith. The proper way to say it *is* "Aerith."
You see because they're not retarded and talking about Jews, Fossil fuels and the ionosphere....its Aeris. They changed it, after the first few runs. They'll always call it a misprint....you didnt even know Sephirot was Jewish....say nothing of fluid dynamics......Inbreed.
@@Poopyfarts96. The PS4 port of the game has a couple of quality of life features. Most prominently, you can speed the game up by about 3x, which is INCREDIBLY useful for fast forwarding those stupidly long summon animations. I sure got sick of them, and a feature like this would've been nice to have lol
12 year old me: Gahd Supernova is awe-freakin'-some! Here, in return, take my KotR and Omnislash. 25 year old me: Sooooooo, if Seph can use Supernova, why bother with Meteor at all? 32 year old me: Don't even bother saving the planet. After Seph cast Supernova and destroyed the F*CKING SUN and pretty much the whole solar system, we're all doomed anyway...
He cast it on me FIVE TIMES in ONE BATTLE! I still pulled through and survived. At one point all I had left was Tifa with the frog status, with 1 HP left, and everyone else was dead, but miraculously I made it out alive! That was the last time I ever fought him, because I didn't want to beat it easily after that epic close call.
Actually, in the beginning of the attack, the equations is Sephiroth creating a perfect copy of the universe and then the rest of the animation is him destroying it just to show his power. That's why everything gets destroyed, but the party is still standing.
I really hated how the ps4 version of FF7 didn’t stop the boss battle music once you landed the final blow, like in the original. It makes his destruction scene so much more impactful.
lucky me i still have my dads psx copy from years ago before i was even born. i remember him making me play it when i was able to pronounce my “s”s correctly when talking. ill forever be grateful for this masterpiece of a game :))
22:11 I will be honest, when I first beat FF7, back in 1997 when I was 15, this part got me so good! to see Aerith's face as she was praying, a call back to the start of the game when the first thing you see is her face as she is praying, made me teared up a little. It was pretty much telling the gamer that she was still alive in the lifestream and that she was the one , who in the end helped her friends. It was a beautiful ending. Along with ending it with Aerith's theme song playing.
@@The_Wuffler I don't think so. Who knows how long Nanaki's race's lifespan is... Considering the amount of growth after such damage to the planet, 500 years sounds about right.
Midgar was abandoned, and reclaimed by the planet. Meanwhile, the laughter at the end suggested humanity was accepted into Gaia, aka the Livestream, aka the Promised Land. This is not a bad ending.
hmm.... Everything that dies goes back to the lifestream. There was never a queston of being accepted. But it's only the essence of the people. (not the people themselves) Essence used to give life elsewhere. A plant, an ant, an animal, another humain.... From my point of view at least. I'Ve always perceived the ending as a good one. But in a different way : Midgar was destroyed. People diied. But the planet and all the rest of the people survived. Life continues. The cycle continues. Dead-midgar is now a jungle. And humans everywhere else keep on living. Ultimately, kids laughers is is the ultimate symbol of.... well.... life... and chances for a future .
I loved seeing Yuffie give Safer-Sephiroth the finishing blow. Consider it punishment for killing Aeris. It's interesting they made Sephiroth act as Cloud's Darkside.
I donno but i felt like they got the idea of the ending from how people think the dinosaurs died out by a meteor lol. Humanity was probably killed off in the game but they brought them back to get money off the series with dirge and advent children.
Does that screen mean game over for good? I remember i always got stuck on it but i also remember my cousins somehow were able to keep playing the game after beating sephiroth
Just finished it. Lol. I didn't like it at first but didn't want to play the remake without seeing the original. Got hooked before I knew it and have hardly touched the remake.
It's not that he was really that hard... it's just that you couldn't save the game right before entering the final battle. So if you die, you have to go through ALL the cut scenes and ALL the other creatures to defeat before battling Shephiroth. At that point I was like "fuck it". And just searched up the ending on TH-cam lol.
Tifa is such a damsel in distress for a so-called "bad ass martial artist." Trying to save Cloud but instead needs herself to be saved by Cloud. Can't count how many time Cloud needs to save her ass in the entire FFVII compilation.
My son hates this game so much, he says because it has no voices and just instrumental music and the cut-scenes are fake. Kids from this generation are spoiled. and this is honestly coming from a child who actually loves role playing games. But thats the problem with newer generation folks nowadays, its hard to get into something that is just obsolete by today's standards and technology. A real Shame. People these days don't know what TRUE art is in a video game and this was a work of art through and through
hey anyone else love how Advent Children totally invalidated the finality of Cloud ridding his subconscious of Sephiroth's hold on him in the final battle of the original game just for a cheap cash-in on its monumental success?
Enh, Sephiroth's always been like a cockcroach. He dies like 4 times in FFVII before staying down. I enjoyed Advent Children for what it was and appreciated some closure on how the party was getting on after the ending cuz I hated FFVII's original ending for how abrupt it was. Cloud's new duds and sword were a nice addition too, not to mention his sweet new ride. Also seeing what Cloud vs Sephiroth looks like outside turn based combat was cool as well. Overall I didn't mind Sephiroth coming back cuz in the original Cloud just kinda put aside his trauma to be the hero that was needed instead of actually working through it while in Advent Children he faces it head on and comes to terms with Aerith and Zack's deaths while also finally telling Sephiroth to fuck off straight to his face before proceeding to beat his ass all on his own this time. It just felt like it was a cleaner end to the story even if I disliked the stuff with the 3 brothers for the most part.
Playing the original back in the day, it ended so abruptly I wondered what happened to everyone. Then advent children came out and made sense of things
I got this game days ago and have to say it is totally worth it a lot!! I didn’t know how to play at first but getting the hang of it too! I’m glad I own the original and remake as well ❤️
Love this ending. So many purelly epic parts. But one that I think doesn't get pointed out enough : the final screen. That "visit card" or whatever it's called. When you get "FINAL FANTASY VII" printed on your face with that big sound. It just feels like the devs shouting "So this is our game. We're awesome. And you know it. You loved every parts of it." And then the kids laughing that give me shivers almost as much as Aerith's face when the lifestream saves the day...
Your opinion of course. Of the Final Fantasy series, I'll always go with 6, with it's epic tale of a man gone mad, destroying the world, thinking he was god, and achieving it, only to see his bitter end.
This definitely transitions to Sephiroth's last form far more quickly than the original PS1 release. Takes out some of the suspense by doing so though.
These were the days were games were all about the art and sound effects not about creating something that is supposed to resemble a photo-realistic movie. I think this is a type of innovative technology that has been kind of detrimental to the way video games are portrayed now in the medium. There is a style and substance to classic games, that modern games can't even begin to replicate now because everything is focused on trying to create something with such realism. Hell if i want to watch a blu-ray film ill watch a movie, but if i want to play a "game" i will play a game. This distinction is becoming more and more blurred, as time moves on and the old magic of video games is all but lost and forgotten.
Video games still have "old magic" to them. Honestly, as someone who grew up in the 90's and had every console between Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, I would much rather play games now compared to back then. Level designs have improved, voice acting and performance capture have all taken radical steps forward, and new IPS continue to amaze and surprise us. You make it sound like newer games have not touched us in any kind of emotional way, but that is simply not true. There have been many iconic and groundbreaking games since 1998.
If you hate it when your friend monitors your reaction to their favorite TH-cam video, imagine being Uematsu waiting for the Final Fantasy 7 playtesters to get to One-Winged Angel
I just finished the OG FF7! I spammed all my Bahamut summons to beat Jenova and Sepiroth :D good thing i also had cure all (cure3)and revive all (life 2) since Sepiroth's final form had 1 shot kill spells. :D

I donno but i felt like they got the idea of the ending from how people think the dinosaurs died out by a meteor lol. Humanity was probably killed off in the game but they brought them back to get money off the series with dirge and advent children.
He used Tifa.
Neco The Sergal First Cloud, then Barret, then Cloud again, & now you're saying Red hit it??.. Poor old Tifa, they passed her around like a bong.
Idunno if Barret ever did - Clouds' probably a virgin still.
@Neco the Sergal Cloud and Tifa got it on hotter than Barret's gun at a road show. What you think they did under the Highwind? Cuddled?
Humanity DID survive. You hear kids playing in the background after the FFVII logo fades.
6:05 Sephiroth's official Final Smash in Ultimate during his reveal at the Game Awards! :D
Aw dammit, Sephiroth.. you couldn't have waited till Justin Bieber reproduced to destroy the solar system?
I'm more dead than Aerith with that comment!
Just use a Phoenix Down and you'll both be fine.
Kamuro Tetsu Copying the trend eh?
If Justin Bieber was a Nazi super weapon.....Maybe... #Higgs

Yo so I finished the game and I'm stuck on this weird screen where shooting stars are coming towards the TV screen, what do I do now?
You've probably figured out by now, but that's where you turn off your console.
@@Metalora Yeah...god damn it lol
Does that screen mean game over for good? I remember i always got stuck on it but i also remember my cousins somehow were able to keep playing the game after beating sephiroth
The last battle was so climatic. The first time I played it I could literally feel the hate in Cloud's heart against sephiroth.
Bought a retro playstation a while back and just finished this. Absolutely class. Dont know what to do with myself now
Play FF VIII.
23:11 plays Circle of Life from The Lion King.
*This game never get old*
~Sephiroth~
the little redlings are so cute!
23:43 I don't remember creepy children laughing at the end.
"That was most likely my brothers and I after we were born in The Lifestream,heh heh!"-Kadaj.
Albert Chyn I do
still looking awesome the remake cant do nothing against this epicness!
22:12 -- FFVII Remake Begins.
A super soldier, a teenage ninja, and a dog kill a god
Pretty cool right
14:25 Crisis core PTSD.
Just finished it. Lol. I didn't like it at first but didn't want to play the remake without seeing the original. Got hooked before I knew it and have hardly touched the remake.
I'm only here because this final boss fight was so hard for me that it made me cry a little bit and I just gave up on the game.
It's not that he was really that hard... it's just that you couldn't save the game right before entering the final battle. So if you die, you have to go through ALL the cut scenes and ALL the other creatures to defeat before battling Shephiroth. At that point I was like "fuck it". And just searched up the ending on TH-cam lol.
This is like the easiest Final Fantasy.
Salah Al-Bloushi You get an item that spawns a save point while exploring Sephiroth's cave.
Anthony Starke it actually is. The only one I've completed.
its ok tk watch, noo need to stress over this useless skill to be able to beat Sephie
The scene of cloud saving tiffa was so great and she was very happy damn nice
But, let's face it.. He's still not over Aerith.
Tifa is such a damsel in distress for a so-called "bad ass martial artist." Trying to save Cloud but instead needs herself to be saved by Cloud. Can't count how many time Cloud needs to save her ass in the entire FFVII compilation.
Love this game. Jenova and Sephiroth are surprisingly easy to defeat for final bosses though.
After the remake I can't look at this game the same. The context of the Remake really adds a lot to what the original means to the future of FFVII.
My son hates this game so much, he says because it has no voices and just instrumental music and the cut-scenes are fake. Kids from this generation are spoiled. and this is honestly coming from a child who actually loves role playing games. But thats the problem with newer generation folks nowadays, its hard to get into something that is just obsolete by today's standards and technology. A real Shame. People these days don't know what TRUE art is in a video game and this was a work of art through and through
despite the fact i'm 14, your statement could never be anymore true.
I love this game.
hey anyone else love how Advent Children totally invalidated the finality of Cloud ridding his subconscious of Sephiroth's hold on him in the final battle of the original game just for a cheap cash-in on its monumental success?
....At least we got a sick alt costume out of it
Enh, Sephiroth's always been like a cockcroach. He dies like 4 times in FFVII before staying down. I enjoyed Advent Children for what it was and appreciated some closure on how the party was getting on after the ending cuz I hated FFVII's original ending for how abrupt it was. Cloud's new duds and sword were a nice addition too, not to mention his sweet new ride. Also seeing what Cloud vs Sephiroth looks like outside turn based combat was cool as well. Overall I didn't mind Sephiroth coming back cuz in the original Cloud just kinda put aside his trauma to be the hero that was needed instead of actually working through it while in Advent Children he faces it head on and comes to terms with Aerith and Zack's deaths while also finally telling Sephiroth to fuck off straight to his face before proceeding to beat his ass all on his own this time. It just felt like it was a cleaner end to the story even if I disliked the stuff with the 3 brothers for the most part.
Zack / Aeris ( in heaven)
Cloud / Tifa
Thats it.
Davidrozone well 500 years later theyre both in the lifestream having a double date
12:43 Does that music have a name? I'd like to know
Forget it. I just found out. "Those chosen by the planet"
Playing the original back in the day, it ended so abruptly I wondered what happened to everyone. Then advent children came out and made sense of things
I got this game days ago and have to say it is totally worth it a lot!! I didn’t know how to play at first but getting the hang of it too! I’m glad I own the original and remake as well ❤️
Love this ending. So many purelly epic parts.
But one that I think doesn't get pointed out enough : the final screen. That "visit card" or whatever it's called.
When you get "FINAL FANTASY VII" printed on your face with that big sound.
It just feels like the devs shouting "So this is our game. We're awesome. And you know it. You loved every parts of it."
And then the kids laughing that give me shivers almost as much as Aerith's face when the lifestream saves the day...
23:18 this is the tale of Avalanche time!
"I think we all know who was crying there,right,Loz?"-Kadaj
Everybody gangsta, until u hear One Winged Angel
Greatest game of all time. (Just my opinion lol don't be triggered)
Matthew B. Ff x
Zelda ocarina of time is the best. You can’t regret it.
Eh i like oot but i always loved this more
@@pokemontrainerserena2712 it WAS the best...hasn't aged well
@@fs2300 ff9 is better
best game ever.
Dark Soul6785 Same
Your opinion of course. Of the Final Fantasy series, I'll always go with 6, with it's epic tale of a man gone mad, destroying the world, thinking he was god, and achieving it, only to see his bitter end.
can be argued with 9. theirs alot of fans with 9. so, 9 may be as big as 7....
Great game? Definitely. Best? No.
The most amazing ost final boss
That sad moment when u realize u r finishing the game...Yikes...
I didnt want to leave FF world
7 Seconds til the end.
The high light of this fight for me was definitely the supernova cutscene it just blew my mind as a kid
Cheers to everyone who is here and is hoping that the Fate of Aerith in the remake is different.
This definitely transitions to Sephiroth's last form far more quickly than the original PS1 release. Takes out some of the suspense by doing so though.
Just beat this beast of a game today. What a masterpiece. Rewatching this because of the one winged angel theme
Best final boss I have faced in the games.
im sure Aerith will come back after thinking is death in the new version and everyone will be hype as hell.
These were the days were games were all about the art and sound effects not about creating something that is supposed to resemble a photo-realistic movie. I think this is a type of innovative technology that has been kind of detrimental to the way video games are portrayed now in the medium. There is a style and substance to classic games, that modern games can't even begin to replicate now because everything is focused on trying to create something with such realism. Hell if i want to watch a blu-ray film ill watch a movie, but if i want to play a "game" i will play a game. This distinction is becoming more and more blurred, as time moves on and the old magic of video games is all but lost and forgotten.
Video games still have "old magic" to them. Honestly, as someone who grew up in the 90's and had every console between Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, I would much rather play games now compared to back then. Level designs have improved, voice acting and performance capture have all taken radical steps forward, and new IPS continue to amaze and surprise us.
You make it sound like newer games have not touched us in any kind of emotional way, but that is simply not true. There have been many iconic and groundbreaking games since 1998.
100% agreed.
10:25 you can hear him say "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!" as he fades away.
If you hate it when your friend monitors your reaction to their favorite TH-cam video, imagine being Uematsu waiting for the Final Fantasy 7 playtesters to get to One-Winged Angel
I told my Mother she needs to play this all the way through before she dies. I stand by what I said
12:54 cloud's most badass momment
4:44 Excuse me but what kind of Broly is that???
Thanks you for the beautiful Video!
I just finished the OG FF7! I spammed all my Bahamut summons to beat Jenova and Sepiroth :D good thing i also had cure all (cure3)and revive all (life 2) since Sepiroth's final form had 1 shot kill spells. :D
