Bahamut is always just THAT EXTRA. In most Final Fantasies. Heck, I had to fight him at least 15 times in FF16. (I'm not a pro gamer or anything, just casual gamer). But I totally get how from an outsider it would appear fruitless against the behemoth.
I think it's more like they were all semi retired and out of practice, a shadow of their former selves, besides cloud. We don't see them doing anything particularly impressive after all.
3:32 - 5:00 is pure straight friendship goals! Cloud never looks for them, they are just there! If your friends are not willing to stand by your side, while a giant demon god thing is attacking the city, you need new friends.
Same here. I've always seen it as no matter how impossible the task, his friends literally and figuratively lifted him up, even those who were no longer with him. It gave him the strength to overcome that obstacle.
In the og game they try to show him as a massive threat as the new president but I found him a bit forgettable compared to the stronger personalities of Scarlett, Heidegger and Hojo (plus you never get a final showdown with Rufus). Then there was this
@@tomoroborosjust Rufus telling Kadaj "Go ahead, bring your Sephiroths and your Jenovas. It won't matter. We'll do as life dictates and stop you every single time." was enough to partly redeem him in my eyes. Then, when he pulled this stunt against Kadaj, *chef's kiss*
I don't care if it's physically impossible or corny as hell. All of Cloud's friends boosting him into the sky as a visual metaphor for opening up and letting your loved ones help you absolutely slaps.
Why worry about physical possibilities from our standpoint? They are literally fighting a summoned dragon-god lol. The only physical thing our reality share with their fantasy is that there’s gravity 🤣
I still can’t believe this movie came out in 2005, a sequel to the Final Fantasy 7 original video game, that scene between Clould and Bahamut, just magnificently epic!!! 😮😮😮
Can we all just appreciate the size of Rufus shinras balls in this movie? He literally had Kadoj and his gang running around in circle, making the trio look like idiots sending them on wild goose chases and every time Kadoj talked to him Rufus had Jenovas head right in his lap, his only protection from being torn to ribbons is a sheet and his own balls
The movie introduced me to the Final Fantasy series. When watching the movie, people will easily realize that Cloud is stronger than most others, far superior to 2 years ago in FFVII, the Tusk group or even a Bahamut dragon is no longer a big problem for Cloud. Even as the disease Geostigma was eroding his vitality and weakening him. What I like about Cloud is that he learned the skills he observed from others and developed his own strength without going through any of Shinra's Soldier programs. So much so that Rufus Shinra had to admit that, although Cloud had never been a Soldier, Cloud was one of the strongest warriors he had ever met.
I always loved this battle, and after playing remake, i can see this being a part of the overall narrative. This story and battle against good and evil has been played out 1000 times, that eventaully leads to a singular fight of light vs dark. Aerith can sense it, Sephiroth can see it :D
What i really enjoy now looking back at ff7, and ff10... you can see the parallel of the world's stories. It makes total sense that they share the farplanes. And it also makes the scene with Denzel looking at the people suffering... make way more sense. Advent was the precursor to Rebirth's timeline.. And Aerith has been hard at work even still.😢 It's kinda sad, but amazing how much the cast really has and through... and yet without hesitation or question they all show up for one another! It makes me excited to see the final showdown in rebirth. So much can open up depending on the ending.
Went to go see this in February when Enix was showing this in theaters. I got really excited for this part since no matter how many times I see it, it'll always take my breath away. This hits differently when you go watch it in a theater with all the OGs who played the original, cheering at the end of this part. I went alone, btw, and this just made it even more special
@@MyOhana-zy1prin the movie Cloud uses all his limit breaks except meteor rain.. you just has to pay attention on every move Cloud does, neither I noticed it even after watching the movie plenty of times untill I saw another video telling where and when the limit break were 😅😅
@@Tryhardblackguy I wouldn't say it was only survivor's guilt as that was with Zack, with Aerith though he could've saved her as it was directly right in front of him in arms reach and yet Sephiroth's manipulation of him prevented something he count have prevented and thus blamed himself for Aerith's death.
most legendary scene of my childhood... i used to think that im the only one that brings me tears and sees the meaning of friendship til i read the comments... im glad it happens to other people too
God damn that look Tifa gives Cloud before throwing him upward and the swell of music as she does so. Also, when he grabs Barret and drops him and just turns all focused. So fking cool!
This is just so emotional. You can feel the relief when Cloud shows up. I learned that everytime the Fusion Sword turn blue, theres a limit break about to happen. If you watch the complete version during the fight with Sephiroth (best villain ever) Cloud tries an Omnislash Version 5, which I think could be comparable to the cross slash, but fails cause let's face it, this guy is tired af after 2 years of no combat then just tossed into it again for like 2 days. 😂 i read that the OS V 5 is composed of only 6 hits, whereas the OS V 6, used in the complete version, has 13. I love the look on Sephiroth's face when the Fusion sword breaks apart. He expects one thing, because history, but gets another. Sephiroth will always be my favorite villain (let's not forget the theme!) Who can defeat anyone. But Cloud will always be there to keep him in check. 😂
2 minor details that make this movie amazing. First, we don’t even really see Aerith or Zack, which is probably a combination of ptsd as well as just being so long since cloud saw either of them, that it’s difficult for him to envision or even see their faces. Second, there’s a tiny moment that’s easy to miss when he’s launched up at Bahamut. Barret launches Cloud up, Cloud fights Bahamut a bit before he starts falling down. Bahamut hits cloud with his foot to launch him down faster, but cloud actually brings the flat of his sword up to block the attack and mitigate the damage.
@@trevp5125Wasn't Bahamut one of the Icons of the whole Franchise? From my understanding, the Icons are technically deities, which are closely gods, so it ain't exactly far off.
I like how much Cid pulls his weight in the first half of the fight. Also, which bahamut was this? Bahamut, Bahamut sin, Neo Bahamut, Before Crisis Bahamut, Dirge of Bahamut, Bahamut Hearts, bahamut hearts 2, etc
1:16 Vincent was all up in his face, buckin' when Tuffie follows up, and RedXIII take a large bite and holding him while Cid leaps on top stabbin the tf out of him.
Y'know, after watching these clips of the gang teaming up against Bahamut, I can see some of the inspiration that went into Cid's portrayal in Rebirth, primarily his appearance.
This shows why Vincent is the GOAT, just jumping around shooting at Bahamut with his 3 barreled Cerberus. Honestly, if they made a movie about Vincent, or made Dirge of Cerberus into a movie, that would be awesome
Always found it funny that at 4:18 Tifa and Cloud's little romantic moment completely destroyed the speed, momentum and velocity they had him going at 🤣🤣🤣 ...but it was cute😆
i know some of you guys LOVE tifa so much "she threw cloud the highest, etc" but come on,,, Aerith comes in clutch here, Cloud is clearly dying in that mega flare if not for Aerith boosting/healing him.
Suppose character had a theoretical power level what would the hierarchy look like? Based on damage potential I think it would be in this order from weakest to strongest. 9) Cait Sith 8< Aeris 7< Vincent 6< Cid 5< Red Xlll 4< Yuffie 3< Barret 2< Tifa 1< Cloud. Some people might argue with the 4~2 order and they would have a fair argument but this list is not a overall combat effectiveness report. Its just my understanding of what each character is capable of dishing out.
Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?
10/10
Final Fantasy 7 should have a spin off series after the events of avent children 👦
10000/10000000 we want more !!
10/10 without a doubt. Thanks for posting this. I´ve never got to see the movie in HD.
10 for sure. it's just an awesome scene.
Explaining to my mom that it looks like their attacks aren't doing anything, but they're actually doing 9999 damage like EVERY hit.

Cloud was the only successful Sephiroth clone
I've seen this so many times but I still can't help being emotional when Aerith appeared
19 years ago! feels like yesterday
Aerith always come to help !
2:00 is the best part. Cloud arrived so everyone backs up. They know they are about to witness wreckage.
Because they know how strong he is 😂😅
They're like, "Let him cook..." 🤣
"A good son would have known." You might be a stone cold bastard, but damn it Rufus you know how to deliver a line!
Crazy how this movie came out 18 years ago. Seem like it was just yesterday when I first saw the proto trailer at E3 Japan 2002-2003.
