This part is extremely emotional for me. If you are someone who does not like to watch people get upset or cry, I would recommend skipping this video.
HUGE thank you to Square Enix for sponsoring this video!!

I"ve lost my mom aswell, so i can relate... Aeris trial was definitely one of the most painful and emotional scenes that i have ever witnessed in gaming. Ignore hateful people when you are being truthful towards yourself, they are just plain ignorant and are scared of their own feelings.
Same, I can relate to that as well😢😢 I feel you..
Question: How many people cry during the trials?
Answer: Yes.
it's like each one got just a little bit worse than the last, but I managed....then the Aerith one just broke me...
Clouds laugh man. You can tell the VA had a blast doing those segments. So erie
When I was a child, I loved a good story. I believe that stories help us ennoble our souls, fix what is wrong in us, and help us become the person we dream of being. I think that's what drew me to the world of games, a passion that I take great pleasure in nurturing and cultivating to this day. Stories like that of Final Fantasy VII bring a deep narrative that covers a wide range of topics: friendship, loss, grief, hatred, love. However, I believe the greatest lesson, or one of the lessons it teaches us, is about the bonds we form with the people around us and the strength of these bonds, showing how this can make all the difference in our lives. Being touched by the gift of friendship is something we should all aspire to in our lives. After all, how can we face the adversities of destiny alone, without the help of loyal and dedicated friends, without a life companion ready to share the highs and lows?
Thank you for sharing a bit of your personal experience with us, Mandy. I know it wasn’t easy, but I sympathize with your story (and yes, I also got emotional in that part of the game-how could I not? Especially in the scene of Cloud's ordeal when "The Promised Land" started playing).

I am one of those "old" OG players that experienced FF7 and Aerith's fate back in the days as a kid ; her trial in Rebirth, the passing of Ifalna and what happened next were devastating moments. And I sure didn't hold the tears. To be quite honest I was terrified at the prospect of re-experiencing the fate of Aerith, since the original moment when I was 10yo deeply hurt me. I won't go too personal on the matter, but it is important to me. *She* is important to me.
I do not mind seeing other people cry because of such moments because it's so relatable. For many, many years I had nobody to talk about it because "it's just a video game!" you know ? I kept all of it to myself. But now, thanks to the Internet, discussions and videos like yours, it's finally possible to exchange with people that felt or feel the same way.
Thank you, for reacting so emotionally, with honesty, to those moments. Without hiding it.
God the trials all broke my heart, but Aerith's was the one that made me sob like a baby. The thing that especially got me playing through it again is seeing those scientists gather around Ifalna's body while Aerith watches. Because we know what they did to her since Hojo taunted Aerith with this in Remake. "What a terrible tragedy, to lose the last of the pure blooded Ancient's. Though not entirely. Would you like to see your mother? Albeit through the lens of one of my microscopes. Did you really think we'd leave such a precious specimen to rot in the gutter? We've collected every last bit of her. Hair, skin, organs, every fragment of every bone." When we beat up Hojo in part 3 it will be the most cathartic fight ever. We'll all be screaming "This is for Aerith! FOR AERITH!!!!"
Slasher Movie Cloud is so creepy and yet one of the best parts of the game. A true credit to the talent of his VA.
Imagine Hayden Christensen in that scene. I'm not prepared for Natalie Portman as Tifa.
@@TonyKanameKuran…what?
@@thatstheway2429 Padme?
@@TonyKanameKuranjust curious why you brought them up lol
@@thatstheway2429 It was a joke you troll!
Ｉ think SQUARE ENIX is happy to see players crying the trail.Enginer made this emotional. Crying is natural thing.
That flashback during the trials broke me 😭😭
Baby Aerith was beyond adorable
@sixfootfourmike totally agree, which made me cry even more during that 😂😂😭😭
Ignore the hateful comments. I bawled my eyes out crying ever since I stepped into Temple of the Ancients too
Ugh, this part of the game was devastating for me. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I went into these trials. Can’t imagine getting through these unscathed.
I could tell you a very long story about how and why FF7 is also very close to me, and why I identify and connect with the story and certain characters too, but really all I think I want to say is aren't we so lucky to have such incredible stories like these that can connect and hit on so many themes of what it means to be alive? They say art imitates life and I think Square has done such a phenomenal job in communicating the human experience. Such odd times we live in. When social groups splinter and cultures seemingly fragment farther apart, these types of stories and experiences are what bring us together because they attempt to reconcile truths of the living experience that can be painful to bare on one's own.
Who are these people who give you grief over showing and sharing emotions, and who hurt them that they would try and come after anyone, much less someone as great as you, for being human? This game is designed to hit hard, to give us an emotional connection and an impact when things happen. I haven't experienced the kind of loss that many have, but Barret's trial hit me the hardest because I can just imagine the pain if I were to lose my wife, and as a father, a lot of his story beats already hit close to home.
Keep being you, Mandy, and leave the nay-sayers to their own damage.
“I tried mommy. I really tried.”
The rest of this video was great, and I know it's important, but hold the phone. People ACTUALLY accuse you of faking your emotions? That's horrible, and I'm so sorry you have to deal with it. Your openness with your emotions, your sensitivity, and your sheer capacity to empathize and feel is what keeps me coming back to your playthroughs.
I know people can be mean and hateful, but I and people like me admire you for the heart you share with us through your content. I'm glad you're not sorry. You never should be.
Been a fan for a long time. And, you’re always putting out such positive energy. Keep that energy, and fight for it, because it’s sacred and not everyone can make positivity feel authentic. But, you do. 💚
Somebody over at Square Enix wanted to make sure we all had a scene that’d force us to reflect, and cry cathartically. Remind us of our humanity, and universal fragility.
Thanks for sharing your raw emotions with us.
Thank you so much for the kind words. This was a tough part. Sharing it and going through it alongside everyone else helps a lot.
You don't have to feel bad for showing your emotions, it's a huge strength ❤ People who criticize you for that are often the ones who need a good cry the most, but they don't allow themselves to have one.
I loved how Rufus refused to let Hojo experiment on Tseng, while totally approving his work in general xD
Barret and Aerith's scenes are extra good. Can't help tear up with Aerith's scene and I've watched multiple gameplays of it. The slow walk as she cries and the last "Mom" just hits. And the sudden change to black as adult Aerith gets close is so cruel. Barret being given the feel of his arm and wife back just to be taken away again is cruel. Makes me think, are the Cetra cruel to administer these trials or is it something necessary for the black materia to materialize.
I watch what you do exactly because you don't fake it. Your reactions are genuine, and thank you for your honesty.
I fell for Aerith in the og. The short story is her trial killed me. I thought I was going to be able to keep it together watching you, but then I saw you lose it and it was over for me. Thanks so much for the reaction ❤
I love that you talk about how emotional you get, I won’t lie I use to think your just doing it for views but I kept on watching you and I started to feel your pain and seeing your very genuine when you get sad and emotional it’s real you can’t fake that so happy you confronted people that said you was fake, it don’t matter that it’s a game, the creators put so much work into games to the voice, acting to the music. The scenery, games now are like art they want you to feel for the characters. To connect with the characters. And especially if you’ve been through a lot in your life, it can trigger that memory and take you back. It’s not a bad thing. It’s good to remember and cry. It makes you stronger because somehow someway you got through it. And now it’s just a memory. You’re amazing and thank you for sharing this with us ! God bless !
Imagine being so mean-spirited that you make someone insecure about feeling emotions while experiencing an emotional story. It was really hard playing through, but I think even harder watching your playthrough of the trials. Thank you for being awesome, Mandy
1:37:01 for what it is worth, I come for the emotions. Life isn't always very kind and I dissociate a lot concerning my own emotions. Not being able to reach and let them out bothers me. Reactions like yours help me a lot, because they allow me to ride along with a proxy who can show emotions that I have pent up. If it is not like exposing them to myself, then at least it makes me feel less locked in with them. So thank you. The Cloud in me needs people like you.
Eres muy valiente expresando tus emociones amiga, que nunca te afecte lo que diga la gente. Además de que se nota que es real lo que expresas, prefiero mil veces una persona que vive los videojuegos como tú, a otros personas que juegan y ni se inmutan. (aunque todo es respetable). A mi también me hizo llorar esta escena, Aeris es un personaje con una fuerza increíble, que a pesar de todo lo que pasó, siempre muestra una actitud positiva y eso es un mensaje muy importante. Siento mucho lo de tu madre, que descanse en paz. Y no cambies nunca, eres muy buena persona. Perdona por no contestarte en inglés, me cuesta mucho expresarme aún. You are a wonderful person, never forget it no matter what people say. Greetings from Spain ^^
Looks like we will be going on an adventure... of _emotion_
You got hateful comments for getting emotional? Are these people serious? This is not a shooter or something. What is the point of a beautifully told story if not to make you feel something?
I'm a grown ass man and I still shed a lot of tears in this game...
I'm a 100% clerith but I don't even care about what you're shipping. The way you are living this story, the way you're showing your love towards these amazing characters, the way you are passionate about every second of your gameplay is very beautiful for me to watch. Never let some sociopaths take that away from you.
And I'm very sorry to hear about your mom. 😢
Hi Mandy, just wanted to say thanks for your playthrough & not being afraid to show your raw emotions on camera. I'm very sorry you lost your Mom, but I appreciate you telling us how FFVII has a deeper personal connection for you. I feel like this part of the game hit everybody hard & lots of us can relate to the painful experience of loss. Anybody who would disparage someone for displaying their real feelings & emotions during any part of this game probably needs to do some growing up & maturing as human being.
Thanks again 💜
such a big fan of you!
I've been looking forward to/dreading this installment because I knew what your reaction would be to the trials. As hard as I know it must have been, I love (and I've said this before) that you let yourself feel it all. Thank you.
What is wrong about being emotional especially in big momemts such as these? Shame on those comments. It was an incredibly poweful scene and the emotion its elicited from me when I played, to you, and countless others show just how well they pulled it off. Fair play Mandy for getting through it, it was a very tough scene. It's a game about dealing with loss and it's liable to resonate with anyone who's dealt with it. 😢
I know it's after the fact, that the final (for now episode) is up. I fear the end, so I delayed watching till now.
Trials: to have a future, sometimes we have to relive and remember the anguish and pain of the past. It is what makes us who we are. We do not have to let it control us. Learn. Learn so we don't repeat. This section had a line resonating with me from a song written by author Mercedes Lackey:
"Your own heart you must conquer, if the firebird you would call.
You must know the dark within you, ere you seek the cold drake's hall."
To move forward, each character *must* accept that, must do that. Master their heart, their emotions, accept the darknesses they hold within.
It is no shame to cry in this game, or any other, Mandy. I've said that before. FF16 tore me apart in places. I'm sure this will too. Let the tears flow. They show how much the story and these characters mean to you. Please never be afraid to show emotion. If people don't like seeing it, that's them. This is your game, your playthrough. Your emotions are important, let them show.
Jokes on you content creator Mandersnatch, because I enjoy watching people cry, so I will not be skipping this video. Yaaay Trials soon! Fun for everyone involved!! Hahah...haha ha... 😢😭
Damn . almost there 😢
For better or for worse, FF7 is a game about deep trauma. Almost all the main characters have lost 1 or both parents or in yuffie's case someone who was practically an older brother. Its a theme common in a lot of Final Fantasy games but Kitase has always said that part of this story was him trying to process loss (I believe it was his mother?). People get emotional about these games (or books, tv, music, movie etc) because the arts are how we process our emotions. Us reacting to these is just empathy because most of us have experienced things that make these hit home for us. And make no mistake, that was intentional.
I could feel your fury when you were talking about people calling you fake. I hope they feel terrible knowing now why it affects you so much. But it sucks you had to feel it was necessary to reveal something so personal. But I'm glad you were able to connect to this game so deeply as a result. I think what impresses me most about the trials is that it was all new. None of that was in the OG. I'm not gonna say this game was perfect, but this game is extremely special. The level of care and detail the entire dev team and the VA's put in to making this game what is, to me is unmatched.
She finally witnessed the truth and not fantasies from the internet.
Thanks for sharing with us! And you don't have to apologize for anything
On those trials...I have only 2 words: Fucking Devastating 😭
we appreciate the explanation and your experiences. best thing to do is not give the trolls air though. literally ignore them completely. They want your acknowledgement. Seen you a bit over the last year or two on this and other games, so now that ive finally got around to commenting, ill also finally like and sub! Wish you the best!
Who the heck gets angry at people getting emotional playing games or watching movies??
I love people who get so invested in the story and characters ❤
2:21:35 if this is the key that grants access to the true counterpart hidden between worlds, then that would mean the cetra knew of the multiple realities coexisting and had access to the void. It also would suggest that they would have closed that void by locking in a single faithed future path. Faith then would be of Cetra origin.
The people yelling about you being emotional are psychopaths. Youre amazing and this was entirely normal and genuinely human of you. You're my favorite streamer because you are so human. Dont ever feel you have to apologize. Your mom would be proud of everything you are.
Great video as always Mandy. I noticed your video quality also improved, the occasional static disappeared.
1:29:00 seeing Mandy cry at Aerith's scene breaks my heart 😭
2:28:41 Pay attention. There are white feathers mixed in with the black ones. In fact, we also saw a white feather in the opening cinematic of the game.
They mean something.
Thank you for being emotional. It makes me more confortable to also do =')
Fyi its not a different cloud. Its their consciousness traveling since remake. They woke up in these bodies after falling. A fragment of Aerith's consciousness dragged him there. She is aware of different versions of herself. Thats how she knew things in remake. Its a sequel of OG after all. Aerith and sephiroth both playing new game +, while everyone else is playing new game. The Great chess game in the lifestream since OG. Whispers took her memories though.
I don’t think it’s a different version of her. I think it’s more her “memories” (aka lifestream).
Technicality here, but I’ve now replayed and watched enough of the story that I’m convinced there is no multiverse at all in this story.
@@thatstheway2429 You are right and it's not a sequel, Advent Children is the sequel to this and the devs said the trilogy will connect us there. Multiverse was only and excuse to engage, but in reality it's about memories manifesting in the Lifestream and the connection our characters have with it.
If someone doesn't like someone being emotional during what is obviously scenes MEANT to make you emotional, then they don't have to watch. Keep on keeping on.
the heck?! you get hateful comments for being emotional?! i cried like a baby during the trial and i still do even after watching multiple streams. you crying on emotional scenes is completely normal! i've seen countless people ball their eyes out on these trials and i never seen any hateful comments about it.
This is just too real! I felt extremely sad after seeing Aerith and Barret's most upset moments in this presentation. Mandy, thank you so much. If you need someone to cry, we'll always be there for you. I'll be there for the next stream presentation. Major kudos to writer Nojima.
The vast majority of people watching this are totally on your emotional wavelength. I personally haven't seen any patronizing comments about the emotions, but if one or two apples show up, your supporters in the comment section will "take care" of them.
its interesting that i dont think ive seen a single playthrough where the player goes around and talks to the team before going into the trial with aerith, they have some semi interesting dialogue there.
Thanks for the clavicles 🎉
thanks square now you have to pay for everyone's therapy because of the trials 😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
I’m so sorry about your mom.
You get a emotional as you get... Nevermind those hateful comments
Sorry for your loss.
2:13:00 as an engineer you have to wonder how they tested this thing during development.
🏆
Everyone here's talking about Aerith's trial, and rightfully so. But can we take a moment to talk about Nanaki's? Holy shit, that was brutal. Poor boy didn't deserve any of that.
Rivalry imo: Tifa vs Rude, Cloud vs Reno, Aerith vs Elena(my reasoning for that is that Elena is new and she doesn't understand the history of Turks and Aerith).
oh aaaeerith...........give it to me.........tehehehehe..........pleaseeee?
I've witnessed the trials many time through streamers. I wanted to watch yours especially because of your sincerity. It's a shame you receive criticism through this.
Why would people complain about people having an emotional reaction? Isn't that the point of reaction content?
Did you realize how much of FF 13 fingerprints was all over this game and honestly remake too
All the characters from 13 were based off of characters from FF7
Fang and Vanille were obvious representation of the Cetra
Sahz and his son were obvious representations of Barrett and Marlene not to mention the baby chocobo chick-
Lightning was cloud
Snow was Zack❤
and Sarah was of course Aerith
13 was a blueprint for the remake, the team had to start somewhere and since that’s the game, they were formed to re-create this game eventually, based on a rumor, I heard a few years back… But everything makes sense. I mean, the Gold Saucer reminded me so much of Nautilus from 13 immediately
and I swear Cait Sith’s moogle actually appeared in this FF 13(?)
But I know there were monsters actually called Cait Sith
The "get a room line" by Reno is actually a localisation problem because he says in Japanese that Rude is so cool. I don't know why they chose that line so far off from the original. I really don't get why people want the turks to stay alive after all the blood that they have spilled.
My take on it was that it’s a reference to Rude’s crush on Tifa which has always amused me
as she said, it is a reference to rude's crush. I think that reno is suggesting that rude is trying to "act cool" in front of tifa. So, the translation is not too far off.
but I'm with you on this. It always bothered me that in OG, the turks became comedy relief.
I was glad that Remake/Rebirth took a more serious direction, but It seems that they want to settle all differences with that fist punch between barret and rude.
I understand how aerith and tifa would be against revenge, but it is hard to imagine barret letting things go with just a punch...
still another 2 episodes spread out over 10 days before we see the end 😢
There’s one more video and I’m getting them all up as fast as I can but okay.
Should I have skipped the optional content in the game that I wanted to do just to finish it faster? Seems silly
