Awesome to see you accomplish this on your OG PS1.
God Bless.
There have been rumors of saving Aerith since 1997. Now those rumors are true! Was such a great journey to experience with you!
It's like discovering it's actually possible to move the truck in gen 1 Pokemon to find Mew. FFVII discoveries in the last few years are crazy, love it so much.
@@Sigurn27 I'm still waiting for it to happen. My currents bets are on 2032
@@Taifelel th-cam.com/video/mCoQm8bIyyw/w-d-xo.html Since this video is about a route that uses glitches, this should count too no?
Guys.... the mew truck trick is actually real. I havent done it but my cousin did it and he swears it works
@@JunearkCinccino thats closer to a romhack than a glitch lol
it's such a twist that back in the day there were equally convoluted steps rumored to have you save Aerith and in 2024 it was actually found to be a reality.
Same with getting mew in og red and blue. That's possible too
@@shamalamadingleberry7203It is, but not by the truck.
@@jaydub2546 Never said it was by the truck..
This specific time jumping playthrough is the timeline the Whispers were trying to prevent
Canon.
Many of us have completed Final Fantasy VII. This man has truly BEATEN Final Fantasy VII. You are the champion of our childhoods.
Also, it's hilarious to me that the ACTUAL way to get Aerith back in your party is just as convoluted as all the false ways we've seen through the years.
I dare to say that it's even more convoluted and only for hardcore fans.
you also need to be careful to avoid all the soft-lock you can cause and it's a pita to have to use an invisible chocobo or losing the airship every time you have a random encounter.
not to mention you need to be far more leveled than in the regular game.
and, even after all of this, you can't use 3 teams of 3 members to beat the crap out of sephiroth.
Bro, I watched this entire series, but watching this video where you summarize it all was absolutely mind blowing! I'm so happy I got to watch this series!
10:01 We have to use the underwater reactor glitch because later, after you set game moment back to disc 1, you are unable to access upper junon normally through the elevator because the platform that goes up to the highwind area is glitched. Using the underwater reactor glitch gets around this, and also allows us to get back to underwater reactor to continue the game normally later.
Just thought I'd throw that out there for people who may be curious.
Thanks death for this playthrough and all the science, it was all so fascinating!
You get to use the elevator from going to corel and advancing the game moment.
It was such a blast figuring out how to get the whole party together. Full party% speedruns when
Great achievement! After all these years, finally someone has found a way to save Aerith.
"The highwind will be reset to the top-left corner of the map"
That one point in FF worlds where north, south, east and west exist simultaneously
The All Blue is real!
Seeing the high wind on the water in the corner gave me a eerie sinister vibe. Like a scary feeling. Lol
This is a testament to the depth of this games fandom and legacy. Greatest game of all time.
JFC, can you dorks stop living in your idealized childhoods?
Just like OoT and Goldeneye knob slobberers…y’all have been saying this stuff for 20 years or more. You’re mentally stunted if you think this game is still ‘the best ever made.’
It’s definitely one of the best, like in the top 50…but THE best? C’mon.
About the disc 1 cutscenes on disc 2 and vice-versa, I used to own a really messed up copy of FF7 that would hard lock at certain points in disc 2, so I would have to switch back to disc 1 to load the next section. The funny thing is that I would still be able to move on with the game, but whenever a prerendered cutscene would play, it played one from disc 1. It was pretty funny.
You can also do that if you use the debug room in ps1 and jump to a story spot on a diferent disc.
The entire game is on each disc AFAIK. The only differences in the discs are the FMVs, and those are all numbered.
I had a scratched up disc 3, but my solution was to rent another copy of the game at my local video store, and switch out the discs.
@@zzzaeThat is evil bro
Every time my game froze in cutscenes I’d open them close the disc tray and it would skip
Aerith deserved this.
Thats the thing. Its actually ps1. So no. Aeris deserved this 😊
@@ln8496Ah, but see, if you skip naming Aeris on the PS1 version (which is what they did in their "Aerith's Revenge" playthrough since they were effectively doing a partial speedrun), their name is Aerith.
It drives me nuts that everyone fell in love with the OG Final Fantasy seven and then was so willing to abandon her name since they corrected it or whatever in the remake. She’ll always be Aries to me.
Aerith is what virgins call her because they think she is their gf lollll
@@GhostSandalsGaming Tsk tsk. The whole joke is that while the original game has her default name as "Aeris", it's in fact preset to "Aerith" which is overwritten by the default when you name her. Skip naming her, and you get the preset.
This feels like an ending of a man that goes through time to save his lover only for destiny to repeat itself again and again; until eventually he find a way to cheat destiny and glitch reality to have her alive at the end.
Steins gate?
Currently watching this playthrough, and can confirm that it's absolutely incredible
This was an awesome experience and I'm so glad I could be there for it!
"CBT" is fkn wild, bro!
Thanks for the great video! Makes me happy to see the og ff7 community still thriving and flourishing.
There’s one more soft lock I found when playing through with Aerith - going back to Cosmo Canyon on Disc 3 to get Limited Moon. It soft locked on me sitting at the campfire.
Likely because Vincent and Cid aren't supposed to be in your party by that point.
I was here nightly and the science was so exciting live. Thanks for doing all of this
I will absolutely never do this in my life, but I greatly appreciate the accomplishment. Well done!
that series was my absolute favorite one so far. never knew that it would turn from challenge to a science experient haha ^^
This was a great series to watch and be part of the community for! Thanks again for the run! Really enjoyed the science!!
Hope you had a good Christmas, mate!
Love this! Will be watching the full playthrough
This is insane. Solid effort
This is so AMAZING!!! As someone who literally spent YEARS trying to get Aerith back following every 90's internet rabbit hole and all through the 2000's. So happy its actually possible!!!
Super cool! Great work!
Imagine being able to keep Sephiorth in the party. You have room for him in the “make a party of three” menu screen.
You’re a legend for doing this!
This is a genius walkthrough! Well played ^^
That was an amazing playthrough, Aerith actually got her revenge. Congratulations
I feel really lucky having watched your Aerith's Revenge run live! I just completed my own run, including all the weapons on the PSX console I used as a kid! It was really helpful going back through your videos (as well as Ace & Kumas videos) to glean the path and steps needed.
For any non-speed runners / casual gamers thinking of trying out this run... don't be intimidated by all the steps, I highly recommend it!!!
I did a casual play through to the world map, then started over for the speed run out of Midgar. I'm not much of a speed runner so I ended up leaving midgar at 2 hours and 10 minutes.. this only left ~6 minutes to get to the chocobo farm, get a chocobo, pull off the zolom glitch and get to the right spot by kalm. It is do-able, but I would recommend trying to give yourself AT LEAST an extra 5 minutes if you can.. even if it means rolling back to earlier saves and fine tuning your paths..
The Disc 1 skip only took me 2 attempts (no practice on PC or emulator with save states).. I may have gotten lucky, but if you just take your time and very carefully tap gently to get EXACTLY in the right positions it really wasn't so bad and so cool this works! (I did 2:16:06 and instead of a timer, I just watched where 4-8 did his menus... then I shifted from 4 count to 6 count for the final run so I wouldn't need any menus even at the start)
THANK YOU for this amazing tutorial! This will be WAY easier to reference rather than digging through the whole Aerith's Revenge.
PS: One other endgame soft lock I found.. post weapon fights, when I returned to Kalm to get my master materia in exchange for the Earth Harp, I had Tifa & Aerith in my party. When the cut scent with the texts popped up, Tifa got stuck trying to run in the door. Resetting and switching to different party members fixed it for me (I used Vincent & Yuffie.. the cutscene didn't even play)
This is simply amazing. The developers must be mind blown that this is possible.
Watched the whole thing, Was freaking Awesome👍👍
I wonder if the devs even know this is possible. I bet you'd blow Sakaguchi's mind having him watch this.
This is common sense to anybody playing this dumb troll…
It was so much fun watching the playthrough! Thank you for all of this :)
Amazing achievement! Your playthrough was fantastic! Thanks Death!
I wonder if I should try this for my first FF7 playthrough 🤔
Thanks for sharing!
Everyone involved needs to be recognized by Square. This is crazy! 🎉 I still remember all the rumors! But it’s real, it’s really real!
FFVII has been my fav game ever since I was a child. Been watching your vids since the materia tutorials over 10 years ago. It’s so awesome to see you continue to be such a prominent figure in the community. You’ve always done so with excellence, and you deserve all the success in the world. Cheers!
I am in awe that this is now a thing. I've only played through classic FF7 four times from start to finish, but never in my wildest dreams did I consider this possible without a Game Shark/Pro Action Replay or Cheat Engine. o_O
Absolutely insane! Clearly this took a ton of research and luck to find enough glitches and mechanisms to make this possible. Really, really cool.
This is amazing that you made a completed route tutorial :O Amazing~
Seeing Cloud run in front of the cargo ship is something to behold.
If I ever somehow go back in time to the early 2000s, first thing I'm telling people of the past is we figured out how to save Aerith.
So it was you who started these rumors back then!
This is just amazing. Thank you and everyone who is involved with this so much!!
This is real cool, lot of neat tricks in this run
Clanging seifer Sephiroth via stronk Aerith was cathartic! A true slum drunk beat down!
This is huge, thanks for sharing it!
I like to imagine one of the infinite rumors back in the day was actually a kid who did all of these glitches in his playthrough
He's watching this while wearing a straightjacket "HAHA, I told them I wasn't crazy!"
Oh hell yeah, 4-8 informational video, we eating good today
Fun fact for everyone. This is the first route that saves Aerith on the PS1 version of the game. Aerith has been in final boss fight speedruns of ff7 on PC for the past decade.
The gift that keeps on giving!!!!!!!!
If you want the Umbrella, the one time to get it is during the back-in-time sequence where you first (conventionally chronologically) get Cait Sith - do it before you go back to the Highwind-era, anyway.
Now we need a guide for full party completion with the Princess guard
And getting Princess Guard would also mean getting the Morph materia since they're in the same place. I mention this bc Morph materia is really good (pretty sure it's literally necessary) for stat maxing, which would allow us to get Aerith with all stats maxed out with her ultimate weapon. I know it's really improbable to be able to do this without some silly Yuffie warps that some versions can't do, but I can dream of my wacky OP Aerith.
I was fortunate enough to see you clear the game with all members in the party, especially the Super Boss and Final Sephiroth Fight
Thank you for having this awesome content for a long time
Happy New Year!
This game just keeps on giving!
Loved the PS1 reveal! Something about breaking out the old console just hits different for these games
Amazingly done, sir.
Amazing. Been waiting for this for years. Destiny is not set in stone.
This is the culmination of years of glitch hunting and Aerith survival myths.
I knew the kid on the playground in 1997 wasn't lying. He said he could revive Aeris but he couldn't remember all the steps. No wonder right? /s
If you get gold chocobo to avoid going through the 2nd part of mount corel, you can come back later with Cloud after the cargo ship and do the falling cutscenes, I guess some flags are out of order for the bridge encouragement groupees.
Awesome vid!
Awesome dedication to a legendary game.
I have been absolutely loving watching this series through on TH-cam. The joy I experienced when Mystery Ninja worked out! The absolute tension waiting on the transitions to cargo ship and then underwater reactor! Thanks for making the route vid, I kind of want to actually try this to have the whole gang together.
I've only completed the game once, yet I still love it's now possible to do this.
thanks for some of my favorite gaming content of 2024!
Quite the video. Thank you for that revenge. I never swallowed that pill and now thanks to you and your kickass community, I no longer have to.
I like to think that there is some middle aged man screaming at his screen right now saying "I told you so 25 years ago and everyone in that chat forum said I was lying and nobody would believe me!"
More like nope this is stupid
That would be me.
A God among men. I'm glad to have witnessed this.
This was one of the best playthroughs I've ever watched.
1:08 I performed this elevator glitch by accident like 25 years ago and have tried to replicate it to 0 avail. I must find out how.
WE SAVIN THE PLANET WITH THIS ONE BOYS! LETS GOOOOOOOOOO! 🙌
Awesome!
you can always use the Brave fencer musashi disk 1 skip as well to keep aeris alive!!! happy gaming
this is really awesome. thanks for doing this.
Thank god you put it into a single succinct video. I watched the whole challenge and wanted to do it myself finally got the skip done😌
You could not live with your own failures, where did that bring you? Back to me - ff7
This is wonderful.
this game is amazing great video death
That was an Amazing journey !
This is pretty awesome.
Great, you did great work, holly grail of ff7was obtained
AERIS LIVES! LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVES!
Amazing! Love you forever, for doing this. Love you and the community you've gathered up for this. I do appreciate doing it without anything else but just the ff7 game itself.
There is another way you CAN also glitch Aeris to stay in, but it does involve having a whole other game, Saga Frontier American version and you play ff7 up to the Gold Saucer date sequence, catch a chocobo at the chocobo ranch, insert Saga Frontier, see the world turn into all the grass and mountain area of the grass and Midgarzolom marsh area, use the big map to help you walk over to the north continent grass before Icicle inn and make sure you're on a spot that you won't get stuck, then take out Saga Frontier and re-insert ff7, and walk backwards through the cave to the City of the Ancients, play through the death scene, get to disc 2 (and he seemed to have made a save and then reloaded and then put in Aeris from there). The guy I saw, before riding the chocobo over to the north continent, he uses a save from BEFORE the Gold Saucer date sequence and Temple, so he DOES still skip Temple and miss the first Ribbon
(And yet somehow later he had the Princess Guard for Aeris, I need to watch his whole series of 2022 ff7 stream vods, to figure it out--he told me, he just hacked in the missable items and left ribbon to be somewhat fair in the cheating and glitching, since you can get plenty of ribbon from Ochu and Master Tonberry, and the one from the secret passage in Gaea's cliffs, after all.
Anyway, I don't know if he read about this method somewhere, or if he figured it out himself, but he is very knowledgeable, redmarioXIIInanaki36, he has his own community of other LPers, fuzzfingergaming frequents him as well, and I personally found him in HCBailly's comments, love HCBailly forever. Though again, it's good to be able to do it with JUST Final Fantasy VII).
Like you said, you need to skip Temple because it's Temple where Aeris is permanently removed.
And you need to avoid all the points like finding Cloud at the clinic in Mideel, so Aeris does not crash the game.
But I do like all the terms you use, "updating game moment" and all that precision, it very much IS a delicate procedure and SCIENCE, it truly is. The beautifully broken Final Fantasy VII, a masterpiece of glitches while still being very playable, and being the best game ever. Best story, best music, best sound effects, that cozy up your soul, the most fun bright graphics and lego-people models. It's a miracle of a game, indeed. We love it for a reason.
All the glitches found over the years have all converged, and have become all necessary to finally finding how to make it come true. Aeris Lives... LIVES!
It's almost like this all came out at the perfect time, too, as FF7 remake part 2 Rebirth just came, and FF7 remake part 3 is yet to come...
Superb. For your next feat, my humble request is please discover an Aeris' resurrection video sequence deeply hidden in PS1 cryptography unlocked with tissues from Golden Saucer and 1/38 soldiers.
[Sephiroth would like to know your location]
What's more impressive is how he figured all this shit out. There's like 100 subtle steps you have to take
Sweet, now I can finally get Cloud :)
Thank you for saving her ❤😊
11:15 - Make sure you don't have Cid in your party before the Jenova fight on the cargo ship, as it will soft-lock the game once you exit the cargo ship (after the dialog).
You can talk to party members on the top deck to change the party. Barret and Tifa are a safe combo.
I love how in games like FFVII and Pokémon Red and Blue can be broken so far without any external help as such that rumors you would hear on a playground are totally possible *now* even though they were fake rumors at the time. Like self fulfilling prophecies.
Holy moly! This is even more impressive than it is confusing 🤣 But yeah, I think that I am not the only one who will actually do this, and Aerith will live again! After all, you did do guard skip it seems.
The video I was waiting for
This is so very very cool
This is beyond amazing
this is fantastic!
12 year old me would be shitting himself. truly amazing and for me, a 26 year old mystery finally solved. thank you
Nice! Great job.
So cool! Thanks for helping me finally get my revenge!
