Welcome to "Knowing". Back in 1997, when I got to this part and experienced it, I had to put the game down for two weeks before picking it back up. It was a literal punch to my heart. I couldn't listen to Aerith's Theme for the longest time either b/c it just reminded me of this moment. It is one of the of greatest moments in video game history.

Sephiroth - "Ha ha ha... Stop acting as if you were sad. There's no need to act as though you're angry either. ...Because... you turned this moment into a 'Your Mom' joke. ...Now say hi to MY mom." (Jenova-LIFE fight begins)
One of my friends did a playthrough with joke names. It was honestly one of the funniest things ever. Cloud was "My Balls" and I'll leave it at that 🤣🤣
The noble algorithm suggested this to various people whose mothers recently died and who ran afoul of the underworld. Or maybe there was a little nudging involved.
The first time I played it I couldn't believe it I had to go back to my last safe point to see if there was a way I could avoid it and I couldn't but in some mods you can actually bring her back kind of
Nope. 100% authentic reaction. I stopped console gaming at the N64 and switched to PC gaming, mostly FPS and RTS games. The only Final Fantasy game I had played until a few months ago was OG FF1 on the NES.
Honestly I have to agree!! I've always been more into FF9 as a kid that I had only started playing FF7 back in 2017!! I didn't like spoilers or to use the internet to have to beat a video game!! When I got to this part I was shocked too!! That was back in 2017!! Some people are just late to the series myself included!!
@@94hourzzz66 because I liked tifa instead and the game kept trying to push me towards her. That and every time she was forced into your party it was always at the really slow sentimental parts, and out of all the characters she was the most useless in my opinion, don’t need a designated healer or mage when everyone can heal and use magic with the proper materia Also lol, I hate anime, and I hate cutesey things and her,cait sith, and yufi were the most anime/ cutesy characters in the game
The music coming in on the white materia bounce still shreds (my heart)

Absolutely an iconic moment
You will never recover from this. Never.
All these days later, I'm still shaken. I can't imagine what people have had to live with for the last 27 years
@@TheRealShrumAfter all this time? - Always!

I lost it after "Your Mom" 🤣
And this is why in the hearts and souls of fans sephiroth can never be redeemed.

👏
This was great shrum your face was my face in 97 i could not fathom what just happened let alone continue the game without her. 😢
And this… is what made Sephiroth THE iconic bad guy
A villain's effectiveness can be measured by how much you want to murder them.
Extremely high levels of muderiness achieved here.
I like how all of these gamers are discovering the original in regards to the new sequel coming out, visiting this masterpiece for the first time
it's pretty awesome :D
Your mom will no longer laugh, cry, or get angry.
