I came back to listen to this song, saw your comment in the preview on my phone, opened comments to like it and saw that I already had it liked from before 😂 JAIL IMMEDIATELY
There's just something about this version, it's so gentle and tender. Perfect way to describe the only moment they got to spend together in real solitude where they were both just able to express themselves properly. Shame it was so short lived but it's what makes the emotional impact hit harder I guess.
@EyezFRFX I Have A Theory On How Aerith Survived Ok Remember When Sephiroth Touched Her At The Start Of Remake? Well What If She Copied His Abilities But The"Aerith" In This Scene Was One Of HER Clones And She Gave That Materia To Him In Order And She Might've Jumped Into The Poral In Order To Escape Him And We See Her Again At The Ending Of Rebirth Because This Aerith May Have Told A Secret To Sephiroth A Secret That Cloud Can't Even Know And Aerith Our Aerith Is Still On The Run While She's Using "Illusions" To Fool Him And She May Be At The Tower Of The Ancients And Masked Her Location From Sephiroth And Send Her Copies In Order To Give Cloud Her Comfort From Afar
Around the 0:30 mark you can see Aerith is so happy that Cloud returns her feelings, only to remember that she has no more time. Forget violins, they may as well be playing heartstrings there.
I guess its because for most of us , the song is associated to grief, losing someone we care about, our brain feels pain, melancholy hearing it. And for this specific version idk how they made it even more painful after 2:29 She litteraly tells us threw word and music to accept it, to let her go. Cant wait when cloud will get his shit together in part 3, to cry even more 😢
That push she gives Cloud is just heartbreaking. To see OG Aerith finaly meeting Cloud again, and thanking him for finally having a date. But needs to push him back to where he belong so he can give the white materia to Rebirth Aerith.
This was our true “goodbye”. I’ve been looking for this since March 2 (my chapter 14 playthrough). Thank you so much for finally uploading it! And see you all in Part 3.
This was her actual goodbye/farewell to Cloud and us as the players. The devs knew they couldn’t just recreate the OG death scene and expect it to have the same impact. They needed to do something new. It was a bold and risky departure for sure, but I loved it. It always bugged me how Aerith’s death in the OG was accepted by Cloud despite his memory issues. Rebirth played that card extremely well in my opinion. It makes her death hit harder; it’s more depressing and even more dark, because now Sephiroth/Jenova can use the fact that Cloud thinks she’s alive to their advantage
it will also be interesting to see his descent into madness with him believing she’s alive and how the others will react to him because of it. but the question is is Zack actually alive in this timeline?
Hmmm. OG was no goodbye because 'death is sudden and irreversible'. Even though its the most beautiful scene of ff franchise...I have mixed feelings. And he asked to act notmally and she didnt. Also she sais her feelings to him so vaguely I still dont get it 100%...
@@wmen48the original Japanese is a bit more clear: Cloud: Here is where you wanted to come Aerith: Got it right! Cloud: It was obvious Aerith: That's because we have few memories together Cloud: Over time, we'll have more Aerith: Is that what you want? Cloud: Yes, of course Aerith: It's a relief to know how you feel, I... I love you, Cloud, but there are many ways to love someone. Which one do you think I mean? Cloud: Aerith, you're acting very strange, you've been acting strange all day Aerith: Excuse me \*Hugs Cloud\*, Enough feeling guilty \*Pause\* Cloud... Thank you Bear in mind that "thank you", when said in an intimate setting such as this, can be interpreted as "I love you" in Japanese. But the sentence she says before that is even more clear IMO.
Saddest part of the game, especially for ff7 classic players who knew she was gonna die. Aerith is one of the most well made characters in gaming history.
This is best version of her song. I really hope they play it live with the orchestra 😭 I finished the game 2 weeks ago and can’t stop coming back to this. Inspired me to do a whole AMV after 15 years not doing one
maybe not initially because we all clinged onto to the hope of aerith surviving this time again, but i love how this scene in a way represents the developers telling us that it’s inevitable, you can not change aerith’s faith, you must accept that and move on.
well to be fair her fate is still unknown even after her "death". the ultimania didn't really give any answers and the biggest mystery they want you to question is in which form is the aerith in the ending scene appearing: if she's alive in some world, if she's in lifestream form or if she's an hallucination in the ending scene, that's why her death is so overcomplicated. people will gravitate towards whatever theory they personally like or prefer.
@@ugh5281that's the whole point of remaking ff7, they did so brilliantly recreate her death that people Still theorize about her destiny, just like Cloud's broken mind the player cannot accept that reality. They actually managed to recreate the feeling of denial of the first game by giving sparks of hope in the confusion, like "she can't be dead right?" From the OG to "she might Still be alive somewhere? Her destiny isn't set??" That is genius
2:46 I felt so betrayed when I saw Sephy-Boy walk through the doors. I was suprised to see Aerith a few minutes later, then betrayed again when she died to Sephy-Boy. Like this is the first death in any game that has made me cry.
The more I watch this, the more I’m reminded of what I’m going to have to do next year. I’ll be saying my final goodbye to my one true friend (I dated him for 6 months. We didn’t work out though due to other people getting in the way and breaking us up). He’ll be going home for good from college and will never step foot in my state again.
"I hold his hand but he never held mine as firmly as i did his... I said i love him, but even tho he said it back it didn't have the same meaning, the same weight or the same feeling... Even after all that, i still want to see him well, i still want him to be happy, i still care for him..." Since it hurts... It must be love right? It's ok if it isn't but if this feeling is true... I shall wait for an answer...
The fact this isn’t on the album should be a crime

2:29 this part is so damn beautiful
It's so good, I'd love a full version of this theme. I have a feeling it will be in part 3
Me too!! 😍🫶🏻
Especially 2:40
The whole song is so beautiful ❤
It gives me straight up chills.
Been looking for this version of Aerith’s theme after I completed the game.
Thank you so much for uploading this 😊

Now, whenever i need a good cry, i can just play this 😊
😢
This scene is here for the feels. Her ACTUAL death scene is there for the lore. And I love it

The promise has been kept. 🎁
I'm grateful for all the words we've shared. All the moments and the memories. You've made me more happy than you know
thank you,cloud
LEGEND GOD BLESS YOU SIR
No promises await at journey's end.
The promise that Doomguy would save her.
RABBITS. AND. DAISIES.
THE STREETS WILL FLOW WITH THE BLOOD OF THE NONBELIEVERS.
@EyezFRFX I Have A Theory On How Aerith Survived Ok Remember When Sephiroth Touched Her At The Start Of Remake? Well What If She Copied His Abilities But The"Aerith" In This Scene
Was One Of HER Clones And She Gave
That Materia To Him In Order And She Might've Jumped Into The Poral In Order
To Escape Him And We See Her Again
At The Ending Of Rebirth Because
This Aerith May Have Told A Secret To Sephiroth A Secret That Cloud Can't
Even Know And Aerith Our Aerith Is
Still On The Run While She's Using
"Illusions" To Fool Him And She May
Be At The Tower Of The Ancients
And Masked Her Location From
Sephiroth And Send Her Copies
In Order To Give Cloud Her
Comfort From Afar
This game was something else. It will stay with me for the rest of my life

She's not dead, guys. (Not completely anyway.)
Exactly
This is the new death scene for me. The blow was even worse than the original.
I thought I wouldnt't tear up...then the "Holy" theme started creeping in at 2:00 😢
This was the real Goodbye

In the end, he really did save her, and she TRULY got to say goodbye in the right way that they both get closure
And she’s going to help save him 😢
this scene is so powerful dude
CLOUD'S FACE WHEN SHE SAYS SHE LIKES HIM!!! HELP
The Real Goodbye.
#AerithDeservedTheWorld
Falling with an Hawaiian shirt is 🔥🔥
so much effort bro 😮
When he enters the church with that predator like approach.. terrifying
I never thought a remake project would be better than the og source material. Masterpiece
I hate how this isn’t on the soundtrack
And none of the Crisis Core OST remake wasn’t in it as well.
There will be a part 2 of the OST later in the year
@@tylortarantino3560 hoping this song is on there. The Aerith/tifa’s gold saucer theme are missing as well😭
@@tylortarantino3560do we have a release date yet
@@TheGOATRammus I heard in November or December of this year. But that’s unofficial
Yeah, next time
I wish it was in the official soundtrack
Right I got the special edition that came with it hoping it would be on there 😂
Why am I crying
too short. This needs to go on forever!
The general feeling of seeing Aerith with Cloud and the group 😢
Cloud and Aeris are THE star crossed lovers.
I'm not crying, I'm not crying at all 😭😭😭😭😭

I'm sorry to hear that. At least you know Sephiroth won't be following him with that creepy strut.
Why this song makes me cry?
Wait why is this not on the OST!!!!!!

What is the OST track name here?
It hasn't released yet, we only know that it's her theme
@@eyezfrfx4985 the full soundtrack has released so I wonder if this one ever will be
I think it’s just called Aerith’s theme
@@josephhall9457 Certainly they will release an "OST Plus" like for Remake.
why the audio is soo low
Why does her skirt change back to her original outfit at 02:53? 😅
Sephiroth fixed the outfit timeline
Probably a pre-rendered moment as opposed to being in-game
