    Pretty sure that the "1/35 Soldier" item is referring to a scale miniature, similar to wargaming miniatures, Gundam models, and even model vehicles & trains. So 1/35 scale would mean that the item is 1 35th the size of a regular person.

    Also Vincent and Yuffie weren't in the cut scenes because they were considered to be optional characters as you can go through the entire game without obtaining either one. It would've been too much for the PS1 to have separate cut scenes depending on who you had in your party.

      Honestly, not so strange when you think about it. Mimics are a staple of D&D and its ilk (Final Fantasy included). The M.O. of these monsters is that they disguise themselves as desirable inanimate objects to prey on greedy adventurers or desperate folk. And in the undercity of Midgar where poverty and homelessness go completely unchecked, what more desirable object for a Mimic to disguise themselves as, than a comfy-looking house?
      In the Remake, it's even classified as Artificial Life, which heavily implies that Hojo created it, probably so he could unleash it in the slums and see what happens, for science.

    At the risk of sounding "edgy" or whatever I have to say that VII is the most influential game I've ever played. I got the game in winter 1997, as an 11 year old, going through a lot and it became an escape for me during my adolescence. I had a really tough life from 10-16 and I honestly feel like the game really saved my life.

  • @orgixvi3
    @orgixvi3 ปีที่แล้ว +38

    I don't understand why people find the ending of FF7 vague or cryptic. Aerith was in the lifestream. Sephiroth was in there, too, preventing Holy from stopping Meteor. After exorcizing Sephiroth and allowing Holy to be cast, Aerith uses the lifestream to empower it and stop Meteor. That's why we see her one final time, the same way we saw her the first time. Aerith, in death, saved the world. It's a bookend, but I never felt like it was implying there was a timeloop or a vision of the future. Especially since we got sequels that show Meteorfall's aftermath.

      In the original they mention how the planet and Holy could eradicate Humans for being the planet's biggest threat.

    I'm shocked that you haven't brought up the "Who killed Aerith: Sephiroth or Jenova," debate. There are videos that cover this because, in the Japanese version, there is a different text that implies that the person going around in all of the encounters is Jenova using an image of Sephiroth (which is why you fight her every single time.) It doesn't make sense that Sephiroth would randomly have pieces of Jenova, he's in the creator when you finally find him, and he died in Nibel. It also makes sense that Jenova wouldn't know who Cloud is, because only Sephiroth met Cloud back then and she calls him a puppet/doll because he has Jenova cells inside of him.

    • @Ryushikaze
      @Ryushikaze ปีที่แล้ว +61

      The full answer is that Sephiroth, controlling the braindead body of Jenova, killed Aerith. He's been pulling all available Jenova cells to himself, including weak willed SOLDIERS, Copy project experimentees, and Jenova's body.

    • @moleahjobe
      @moleahjobe ปีที่แล้ว +39

      I think you are right. Sephiroth falls into the lifestream at the reactor and re-emerges in north crater where he remains the entire game. Anytime you see Sephiroth outside a flash back or the final fight you are seeing Jenova. If Sephiroth was controlling her is up for debate.

      I always assumed most summons are Cetra. Materia is Mako, Mako is lifeforce, and lifeforce contains the memories of those in it. Hence why it enables you to cast spells and use abilities without learning the hard way.
      Aside from a few oddballs like Choco/mog, (chocobos are special and Moogles do have some status in universe given Cait Sith. Extinct perhaps?) and Typoon (direct FFvi reference, Ultros' pet thingy), almost all are human-adjacent (Titan, Shiva, Ramuh, Odin, Hades, KotR, etc.) or powerful creatures like dragons (bahamut, neo/zero/etc.) Or other mako-infused beings (Condor becoming Phoenix)
      The human ones, then, are either humans or Cetra, the latter far more likely

    It was a pretty common practice for Square to come out with "International Versions" of their games. Basically, since their games were made in Japan, they were released in Japan before anywhere else. But when they were released internationally, they'd fix bugs and maybe even add some new content while they waited for localizers to do their thing. So since the Japanese market would miss out on these improvements, they'd rerelease the game as an "International" version in Japan, and add even more content.

      Those 2 are correct. The Ship spot where you go to Costa Del Sol, The cave is where you see the Shinra goons and Cloud floats up and puts the Black Materia into Sephiroth. Behind him are the weapons that awaken and fly out of the Northern Crater.

      Holy stopped Meteor from destroying the planet itself, however it also wiped out humanity as Bugenhagen predicted. (The sequels and follow-up materials were not original planned for, and are technically out of continuity with the original game.) Aerith's appearance was to signify her fulfilling the prophecy that she was leading them to the Promise Land (aka, the Lifestream). Red, not being human, survived and was not judged against by Holy.

    Vincent/Yuffie would have not been in the ending cutscene as they were extra characters and they weren't going to do a new render for 2 side characters (Also size constraints on CD's would have been an issue)
    Aerith Dialogue was from the issue with they were not sure about killing her off so there was abit of contention as it was a first.

    Development began in 1994, originally for the Super Famicom. After delays and technical difficulties from experimenting on several real-time rendering platforms, Square moved production to pre-rendered video, necessitating the huge capacity of the CD-ROM format and therefore departing Nintendo for the PlayStation. Veteran Final Fantasy staff returned, including series creator and producer Hironobu Sakaguchi, director Yoshinori Kitase, and composer Nobuo Uematsu. The game is the first in the series to use full motion video and 3D computer graphics, superimposing real-time 3D character models over pre-rendered CGI backgrounds. Final Fantasy VII introduced more widespread science fiction elements and a more realistic presentation, while the gameplay systems remained largely similar to previous entries, with the addition of new elements such as Materia, Limit Breaks, and new minigames. The staff of more than 100 had a combined development and marketing budget of around $80 million.

    But even 500 years later, Nanaki comes back to Midgar to continue the pact he made with Vincent, even if Vincent is not alive anymore (which is still very beautiful in itself).
    But then, as the authors never really talked about Vincent's immortality after "On the Way to a Smile", the question of "if Vincent becomes mortal again or not?" is still debated. I hope they can end this debate in the remakes by giving us a definitive answer.

The Hell House is a reference to Baba Yaga. The cave with the vine coming down leads to the cutscene room where the Weapons first awaken. We got in there a long time ago with GameShark hoping it was involved in reviving Aerith.
