The sad ending to Final Fantasy VII Disc 1, including gameplay of the fight with Jenova, and the talk afterwards where Cloud decides to continue his journey to stop Sephiroth....
sometimes when you lose people, you arent given time to recover and heal. sometimes youre forced to go back into the world and do what youre supposed to. but it never makes it easier. you have to suffer almost in silence. thats what that jenova fight is meant to be. sometimes you arent given time to heal.
Will Aerith die in FF7 Rebirth? Will Sephiroth t pose on Aerith again to assert dominance once again? Am I going to face financial problems and go bankrupt and have my wife and daughter leave me as i slowly go homeless due to many debt issues? We will find out in the next episode Balls of Dragon
@John-dp2zt it was convoluted imo, in OG it was clear Cloud was "controlled", remake was confusing, was he controlled? Hallucinating? Was it whispers? Sephiroth?
@@josephstalin5374 they honestly kinda butchered this scene, they could've ended it with the first phase of jenova and had one of the best endings ever, not every ending to a game has to have music blasting and a multi-phase bossfight. the whole multiverse thing is just... on top of what they did to this scene, the weight of her death is lost bc she's alive in at least one other universe. loved the game but this one left a sore spot
1:54 Always gives me chills. The way she initially feels weakened by a sudden force only to widen her eyes and notice a massive sword impaling her is such a scary attention to detail
I cry... i will cry ......i always cry when i see this.........1997..........ps1 ff7 i remember this feeling, this soundtrack,these tears......... I will die proudly
This scene... gave so much more intensity to the last battle between Cloud and Sephiroth. Every swing of Cloud's omnislash in Sephiroth's fucking face brought me joy and satisfaction.
I’ll never forget the first time I saw this. I knew it was going to happen, but I froze watching it in real time. I felt sick after. I cried later that night.
I finally got to this part last night. Quite possibly the most saddest scene I've seen in a videogame. I can see why people find this really touching. I actually felt tears welling up. And I thought Crisis Core's ending was sad (When Zack get's gunned down)
I don't know, Halo 2's "Return to Sender" was beautifully remade for Halo 2 Anniversary's version of the same cutscene, I think SE can pull it off. I consider that cutscene one of my top three in video gaming history along with this tragic scene.
There is something WILD about rebirth. Not only did they eat the entire cake of showing both a party and a kill… but also we didn’t see the impact like in 1:47. But not only does it stop at the shock value, but also the emotion. CLOUD shows all the emotion there with his words. After being controlled so much beforehand on the Cetra Fortress, here he breaks from that and expresses his sorrow, making Sephiroth taunt him cause he wants to maintain dominance against the man that killed him. On Rebirth, the proof of any words is put on the classic mind manipulation filter and therefore we lose a big chunk of the reason this scene is so impactful. Anyways, multiverse is silly and actually not that complicated. Sure we are following a somewhat classic route, but the concept of multiverse is actually a slap to the lives of all characters, everyone might as well either die or live in the many versions.
They really mangled this iconic scene in Rebirth, specially the dialogue. Cloud is going apeshit while Sephiroth couldn't give less of a shit, and just rambles on about his plan.
I am not ready to see Aerith getting killed by Seporiah in the remake and hearing from people saying the director of the remake is staying true to the original ff7, so that means Aerith is gonna die. I am not ready to see Cloud, Red, Barrot, Tifa, Cid, Vincent, and Cait to see Aerith death reaction and saying there final goodbyes. And I am not ready to see Aerith going underwater to her burial place.
You're not supposed to win it. That's the point of that scene. Meant to show that you're completely outmatched. Another example of a sad ending is in Shadow of the Colossus. Where the main character is sucked into this hole because he's been cursed. While you're being pulled across the temple towards this hole. They enable you to move about. Of course, that's futile as the pull is too strong. I've heard stories that people actually made it outside the temple fighting the pull of the hole.
Square Enix just played themselves by ruining this scene because they wanted a multiverse sht on final fantasy. Now it's sht. They could've seen us crying in 4k but no, they wanted us confused in 4k.
came here for more or less the same reason. i just wanted to hear the sad music during the jenova fight. i dont understand why they had to make a huge flashy fight sequence with funny quips during what is supposed to be a somber moment.
To be fair, the music for the first part of the Jenova fight was good but the transition into it wasn’t as good as I hoped and then they stopped using the song halfway through…
My fav too. But I'm glad I gave Remake a chance. My only gripe was the battle system was too much action style. I really like what I saw in the new trailer.
@@Robotron2084psn Originally I wasn't that crazy about the prequel Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, but I think that Reunion has been a great improvement and it's grown on me. Is Final Fantasy VII Remake very similar to it in its battle mode? 🙂
Typically a pheonix downs purpose is to revive a KO'd character not a dead one. Its kind of a grey area with dead characters, as there are spells like death.
@@extraterrific8835 Hope She Pulls Off Similar To What Christ Did When He Was Nailed To The Cross And Returns EXAMPLE: You Can See Aerith Praying But THATS When Aeris Appears And Reveals Her Plan To Save Aerith And This Is Where We Play As Aeris
Hmm Aeris's Death Parallels Christ's Death Where He Says It Is Finished So What If Aeris's Plan Was Finished BUT Sephiroth Intervened And Killed Her And Her Materia Already Hit The Water And Sank So I Know That Her Plan Has Started Working AND In The Resolution Scene She Warns Remake Cloud And Lucrecia Will Come Into Play In Rebirth Because She Knew About Aeris Getting Killed So She Traveled To The Past And Swapped Materia
Jenova control Sephi as ,ell and remake learn us that it can take shape on our fearest foe or witch we love/admire and it occurs to be Sephiroth for Cloud Witch explains the ok xe see Seephi and battle rather Jenova..all rhe time. When you know the translations problem. Sephi had no interest this time in the Remake to killed Aerith but say yes rather made think to Cloud to for controlling and made fool of him and troll him has he had ALWAYS do.
Never liked Aerith, not that I hated her, it's just that I never found Aerith to be a great pick fo Cloud, I am a big Tifa person. Even though Aerith has a cool voice actor
Tbf the game was already over 12 years old when this video was posted, at that point it was the single most well known death scene from any game ever. It’d be like getting upset about the Thanos snap getting spoiled in 2030. Also, the only way you’d ever see this video is if you specifically searched it up, this isn’t appearing in anyone’s recommended feed
@@Jolene007 there's a lot of people who haven't played the original or were just introduced with FF7 Remake. I didn't search for this video, it was on my recommended. I get that long time fans may want to rewatch this scene but it's just a shame for potential newcomers to have one of the greatest games spoiled whilst surfing youtube. I also don't know what the Thanos snap is. I know he is the villain in marvel but I never watched the movies.

Sephiroth is t-posing on Aerith to assert dominance
Damn! 😆

Making you have a Boss Battle with her theme playing was a troll like none other.😢
Who is here after see the Rebirth end?
😢
I needed to cleanse my mind after that 😅
@@josephstalin5374You didn’t like the Rebirth version? 😂

One of the most meaningful fights here against Jenova.. I felt like I was fighting alongside Cloud... Crazy moment I'll never forget
I see this moment and i loved the game
that music...oh god.....
Fighting Sephiroth with Aerith's theme that just broke me apart!!♡:,(
The music alone still makes me tear up. 27 years later
Poor cloud sephiroth kills all his friends and family...
Not all his friends...
1:54 Always gives me chills. The way she initially feels weakened by a sudden force only to widen her eyes and notice a massive sword impaling her is such a scary attention to detail
Sephiroth down smashes a girl in stamina mode and then hits a epic t-pose.
and that's why I'm angry at Sephiroth he's a wicked villain
....seven seconds till the end
you mean when he falls ? cuz sephiroth says that in ears of cloud in space in ff7 remake...
I come from the future, what Sephiroth meant is “Cloud, in 7 seconds FF7 end, we are now entering FF358/2 days. Ever heard of the multiverse?”
Cid: “Dumb @$$!” 😂
He called him a dumb f*** actually
Came back to watch this cause Rebirth ruined this scene.
Same
The fact that they botched this scene in FF7 Rebirth... I will never forgive them.
I don't know why, but I found the way Sephiroth twirled away into the air hilarious 😂
I cry... i will cry ......i always cry when i see this.........1997..........ps1 ff7 i remember this feeling, this soundtrack,these tears.........
I will die proudly
LOL @ the pillar jump fail. OH how many times that happened to me in the game. Thanks for posting.
This scene... gave so much more intensity to the last battle between Cloud and Sephiroth. Every swing of Cloud's omnislash in Sephiroth's fucking face brought me joy and satisfaction.
i love you aeris
Vainth why does square Enix always have to kill the most memorable characters
I’ll never forget the first time I saw this. I knew it was going to happen, but I froze watching it in real time. I felt sick after. I cried later that night.
here after rebirth lol
I finally got to this part last night. Quite possibly the most saddest scene I've seen in a videogame. I can see why people find this really touching. I actually felt tears welling up.
And I thought Crisis Core's ending was sad (When Zack get's gunned down)
Crises core wasn’t that sad really
I feel like this scene alone is what made this game the huge success that it continues to be. ❤
2:57 from onwards I imagine that Cloud spent the whole scene in tears, his burning eyes are indicative of that
Most legendary scene ever even the new one won’t compare
Bruhh, you can't judge before the game is released later
How do you know it wont compare
@@mr.mcnuggies Because he’s a purist

Back from Rebirth ... you are right
Aerith is the real mpv even after her death
Why didn’t they include the part where Cloud let Aerith go to the water in Rebirth.
maybe because she is not dead. All that death scenes are an illusion for everyone but Cloud. that why he doesn't even sad
@@loner1512nah she's dead and Cloud is crazy. To be honest I'm tired of multiverses
because they wanted to ruin the scene I guess
Play Rebirth up to Chapter 13 and then switch to OG. Now that's a perfect remake :)
This scene in the remake will send shivers down my spine, Cloud trembling is heartbreaking
Did it satisfy you?
@@yurisonovab3892i think the shock value was lost because of the slow motion and the fact that they didn’t even show her getting impaled
Thank you (cries_
so dark

Damn you Jenova!
This scene blew my mind. I'm not even a huge gamer anymore, but I was ALL IN for FF7 Even to the point I think I want this tattoo.
1:47
all the feels
They really mangled this iconic scene in Rebirth, specially the dialogue. Cloud is going apeshit while Sephiroth couldn't give less of a shit, and just rambles on about his plan.
The part where Phyrra Nikos dies in RWBY reminds me of this scene. She and Aeris suffered the same fate.
I am not ready to see Aerith getting killed by Seporiah in the remake and hearing from people saying the director of the remake is staying true to the original ff7, so that means Aerith is gonna die. I am not ready to see Cloud, Red, Barrot, Tifa, Cid, Vincent, and Cait to see Aerith death reaction and saying there final goodbyes. And I am not ready to see Aerith going underwater to her burial place.
This is how rebirth is going to end. I can feel it and oh man it’s it going to be painful.
For Aerith if she died in part 2 there one more game for final fantasy and it done.

Nah... I will believe it when I play it. I can't make an opinion
Yet
omnislash and catastrophe come from steel I believe and wasn't sposed to be any
cause it stab and shoot not pierce and tear
So Sephiroth taunted him over his feelings.
So Sephiroth just let his mother get completely destroyed lol
This is still my favourite video game of all time. I don't have a PlayStation 4 so i haven't played the remake. Perhaps I'd rather not

1:44 leeroy! Jenkins!
hm, i didn't realize aerith is sephiroth. like an angel losing her virginity wing to become the one-winged angel.
what do you mean ? so Sephiroth , Angeal , and Genesis only have one wing because they aren't virgins????
what the actual fuck lmao
WHAT THE HECK HAHAHAHAHA
Ah guys this already happened in the remake or not?
not yet
@@extraterrific8835 ohhh I think is gonna happen in the second remake
@@seiyakurosaki4464 yeah and she'll probably be back in the rebirth

Aerith And This Is Where We Play As Aeris
Yeah I think she still dies anyway because a remake isn't supposed to completely change the story
Cloud killed Aeris, he’s schizophrenic. Sephiroth is his alter ego.
And this is why he holds so much guilt in the passing years.
Hmm Aeris's Death Parallels Christ's Death Where He Says It Is Finished So
What If Aeris's Plan Was Finished BUT Sephiroth Intervened And Killed Her
And Her Materia Already Hit The Water And Sank So I Know That Her Plan
Has Started Working AND In The Resolution Scene She Warns Remake Cloud
And Lucrecia Will Come Into Play In Rebirth Because She Knew About Aeris
Getting Killed So She Traveled To The Past And Swapped Materia
@@haileeraestout5567 Cloud’s schizophrenic, that’s why he hears voices of Sephiroth. No one else sees him and he’s not alive.
@@ThisReckless That doesn't make any sense at all. 😑.

@@MiyakoPisces4.0 Sorry I fixed that comment. But there is a blog out Cloud being schizophrenic you could read that explains it.
Players kept tearful with Aerith as a teddy.
But part 2 and 3 original game reveals all, until cool story.
if we play the part at 1:41 at 11:59:53 on new years eve, Aerith will die on new years day
Phoenix down?
i dont get it. why immediately after hoding her he doesnt attack sephirot where he stands?
Never liked Aerith, not that I hated her, it's just that I never found Aerith to be a great pick fo Cloud, I am a big Tifa person. Even though Aerith has a cool voice actor
aries a killer
arith
coulda swore jenova death pops out this cut scene
right the music kept playing...this aint a game
