>>
>>736893843
She died, Cloud went into super heavy denial. Because whoever is in charge of the story thinks that was both necessary and engaging for his character. Unfortunately it misses out the point that Cloud in the OG was not in denial which made Sephiroth's control that much worse, and it actually made Aeris' death, and the events leading up to it as Cloud worries about how much control he has, have impact.
>>
>>736893843
>she died
>no wait she's alive
>no she's dead
>oh wait she's alive and she's helping you fight Sephiroth ZOMG!
>oh nevermind she's dead
convoluted DOGSHIT that ruins the original moment sucking out any grief the player might have and replacing it with confusion. All subtlety gone so Nomura can have his cringe multiverse bullshit. This was the one part in FFVII that should have been played straight in the remake and they fucked it up. She's going to be everywhere as a ghost in part 3 talking to Cloud ruining the finality of her death even more.
>>
It's a convoluted plot device designed to be as vague as possible so you have interest in Part 3.
They're doing the same shit with Zack and the Avalanche crew.
>>
>>736893843
Cloud blocks the sword, the timeline "corrects" itself, creating two timelines.
>>
>>736893843
It's not supposed to mean anything or be coherent. It's textbook Nomuraslop; it's smoke an mirrors with absolutely ZERO substance because he doesn't understand substance. He thinks that convolution for the sake of convolution is D E E P. He thinks unforeshadowed, unknowable, nonsensical asspulls are revelations and "a-ha!" moments. He doesn't understand the fundamentals behind the things he attempts to portray, and so everything related to Nomura is meaningless fakedeep bullshit that no one should ever pay any attention to, because all of it is entirely devoid of meaning. All Nomuraslop is inherently vapid and no mind should ever be paid to anything contained within Nomuraslop games. Watch the flashing lights, marvel at the pretty colors, turn your brain all the way off, do not devote even a single thought to anything attached to the name "Nomura", and then forget all about it as soon as it is over, if you must play it. That's how Nomuraslop should be treated. Nothing will ever come from trying to unravel the convoluted contrivances of Nomuraslop, it is a waste of brain power to consider anything related to Nomura for even 1 second.
>>
>>736894840
imagine if he blocked the sword but just deflected it to Tifa and it kills her?
>>
>>736893843
Aerith died
Cloud doesnt accept it and blocks it
all of his denial and pain creates the "aerith lives" lifestream branch that sephiroth will use to manipulate Cloud
Eventually Cloud will have to accept her death by making the CHOICE of letting aerith go in order to properly defeat sephiroth, or in other words, reach acceptance.

Nope.

You are the incorrect person here. You shouldn't have said that a convoluted mess of nothing requires a PHD in order to understand. And actually, he even said "it's really *not* that deep", so he was saying it wasn't deep. You're not very good at conveying your thoughts correctly, but you are very good at becoming upset when someone interprets the words you have written, as they are written.

Whatever is the most convenient based on fan feedback. Currently, it is intentionally vague because its completely up in the air. The scenario was not finished by the time they shipped out rebirth and that's the god honest truth.

Currently, what little left of the structural integrity this product has left is being compromised by 3 groups

Shareholders. The shareholders are going to want the avenue that will lead to the most efficient and effective merchandising. Since the game sales are wavering, anything to make the characters more marketable. The MTG sales gave them a taste of the merchandising

Shippers. The shipping crowd is psychotic. That is a 100% proven and verifiable fact. The Remakes have been leaning more toward some of the dating sim elements and for fear of stepping on the toes of these deranged freaks, Square will pull their punches, and possibly write multiple ending scenes.

Those heading the project. These fucks have conflicting visions and that much is abundantly clear.
>>
>>736895884
Top is just bottom but you don't need 3 hours and 45 useless side-fetch quests to progress.

>b-b-b-but it LOOKS better

Genuinely kill yourself. That's why the remakes are ass.Because people care solely about graphics. Pretty = Good.
Same reason games aren't optimizied. If it looks good, it sells. Doesn't matter if you get 3fps.
>>
>>736896150
>clearly he needed it
No he doesn't. He's wallowing in self pity and guilt for no reason, Aerith even chides him for it. It's absurd that Cloud is now going through this a third time during Rebirth.
>>
>>736895141
Nah, they are going to change it and give him some form of hope of being with Aerith. Otherwise it's just convoluted for the sake of it.
>>
>>736896509
You don't need to do any of that to progress in Rebirth. Why are you so passionate about the game without even having played it?

The cut scenes in Rebirth in total come to 13 hours. I think someone at SE HQ should be beaten to death for it.

>>736896509
>Because people care solely about graphics.
"""People""" only care about graphics and dollars-per-hour value. You can play Rebirth for 200 hours if you really want to. Rebirth has better graphics than the original (even if it has worse graphics than Remake) which is a plus. These are the only things the modern audience cares about. It's simply a bonus that it has Final Fantasy VII characters in it. Some people will buy anything that has Cloud and Tifa in it, forever, no matter what, even if they are no longer the actual Cloud and Tifa.
>>
>>736896423
They are trying to push him into another superseller like Cloud by shoving him down everyone's throat, but I don't think it's that effective.
>>
>>736896554
I have played it. You do have to do a bunch of useless unfun side shit to progress. You can't just go from A to B without inerruption. Even the shitty ass chocobo rest point or whatever, you have to stop for 30 seconds until cloud decides to finally pick up the sign all the way. The entire experience is a slog. Like walking through chest high diarrhea.

I really genuinely loved FF7 Remake and Rebirth. The games being fun and a great expansion to the world of FF7 aside these are some of the most ambitious pure passion projects ever seen in gaming and you can tell tons of effort went into both of them. That being said, the ending of Rebirth is genuinely the most retarded shit of all time. The time ghosts were stupid in Remake but they never straight up ruined anything. The ending of Remake implied that they would change shit in Rebirth but that didn't end up really happening and for the most part the game they played it straight right up until the end. I cannot even comprehend what the fuck is happening with the dog universes.

My biggest gripe though was Aeriths death, not even how it was handled but the actual direction of the scene. This is one of the most iconic scenes in video game history and instead of just letting it play out the stupid fucking time ghosts are flying around all over the fucking place ruining the moment completely. All of the atmosphere of the otherwise beautifully recreated City of the Ancients destroyed by having these fucks constantly whooshing around and taking up most of the screen. I really couldn't believe they didn't see how stupid it was while they were making it. The other 99% of the game was impeccable but I wish I was lying when I say it almost ruined the entire game for me.

I'm just trying to understand why someone defending the game would say that the minigame and checklist bloat is the real game and that if you don't want to complete the 100+ hours of minigams and checklists and you just want to play Final Fantasy VII that you don't enjoy the game.

>Such passion for things you hate.

Are you retarded? (Probably lol) the argument is plain as day, whatever they’re going for will never be as impactful as the original for the simple reason being the intent behind the story is simply to sell more merch if cloud and gang. The originals was designed to genuinely replicate a feeling of absolute loss of someone dear that can never return and how that’s handled. Time jannies stretched across three games that already neutered the majority of the atmosphere and tone of the original already killed all chances of it ever reaching the same level, the story decisions just bury it deep neck in nonsense

Sit down. She's dead. But Cloud is under illusion she's alive. When everyone else were mourning her, Cloud was talking with the illusion Aerith and everyone were wondering what's wrong with Cloud. So the 3rd part's Cloud's identity/reality crisis will be accepting Aerith's gone
>>
What made Aeris' death so impactful was that after Sephiroth stabs her, it's over.
She never speaks again.
You never see her smile or look at you ever again.
She's dead, and she's gone forever.

>>736897605
yes she is dead dead. but the lifestream exists where she can still do esoteric things behind the scenes (like the OG where she destroyed meteor with the lifestream itself)

>What made Aeris' death so impactful was that after Sephiroth stabs her, it's over.
>She never speaks again.
What truly made Aerith's death so impactful is that it was the first time most of its players experienced death of a main cast member in a video game. For people like me who had already been playing video games for several years, we had already experienced death of major party members or even the main character and thus Aerith's death was nothing. Honestly, I didn't even give a shit at all because I didn't use her as a party member. I just moved on. And then you go snowboarding right after so it's like the game doesn't care either.

It's amazing how certain people think the low poly environments and characters, the toasters for hands, the lack of textures, most 3d models consisting of gourard shading, and the janky pre-rendered backgrounds with painfully obvious 90s era rendering, were "creative decisions". The fact that FF8 and FF9, on the same console, brutally mog FF7, is overlooked by these people. They clearly had little grasp of the tech when making FF7. The characters switching from chibi to normal proportions randomly, OG FF7 is a mess visually.

I can only give theories for what I think the ending met because the next game could come out and what I think happened could be totally wrong.

What I think happened is that Sephiroth is trying to combine with Sephiroths from other timelines where he won and Aeriths are basically trying to stop as many Sephiroths as possible in as many timelines as possible so that he has little Sephiroths as possible to combine with. For some reason the main timeline our Cloud is in is the most important for reasons we don't know yet, it's probably where sephiroth is gonna combine with all the other Sephiroths that won for some reason.

the Aerith we know died but the Aerith at the end of the game is a different Aerith that's guiding this timeline to defeat its Sephiroth. The ending is likely going to be Cloud actually letting go and the Aerith he saw helping him going back into the lifestream for good.

The ending didn't really explain anything, I'm mostly guessing based off of the tropes we keep seeing over and over.
>>
>>736898024
Yes you did. Also you are meant to rotate characters after each dungeon. The only reason you chose not to use Aerith was because you were spoiled she will die and you were afraid her gaining levels/limit breaks would hinder others. Newsflash, it doesn't! All party memeber even those not in the active party gain EXP!

Square Enix would never be cool to give us a 100% happy ending. They've long since been in their never-ending shitty phase with no engoodening in sight.

All of this is bullshit since in the original the whole point of cloud's character is that accepting Areiths death is what moved him into a more proactive role and provided a wedge to free himself from Sephirot's control

What is it about this game that feels at home. I used to hate its popularity until I finally got around to it much later in my life. Everything is warm and perfect. Even the cringe. I will die happy if they make a ff6 remake as well but dont think that is happening
>>
>>736898645
NTA but KH has a bad case of having plot twists as soon as it goes stale to keep engagement, but feels like the writer made them after other things were already set in stone and sits you down for increasingly long amounts of time to explain how "it totally fits bro because this this and that"
>>

>What is it about this game that feels at home
It features the skinsuits of the characters you remember from your youth, with a story that you are already familiar with.
>>
Is this any good
>>
>>736894324
The entire sequence feels, specially Aerith's triumphant return, like the devs thought they wouldnt get a third game and blew their entire load on a Safer Sephiroth fight and Aeriths final battle in the lifestream against him
Thats the kind of shit that should have happened in the next game, would have held way more weight too, with her being missing from the entirety of the game only to return at the very end

You actually played it and realized it's just a good game with some slow parts.
Most people don't play video games so that puts them at a disadvantage.
>>
>>736893843
Aerith is kill, but there's at least one of the worlds where she's still alive physically, yet incapacitated. She's basically fighting Sephiroth on the astral plane. The simplest way to understand the remakes is the novellas Lifestream white/black. What as the player we see play out as an altered retelling of the OG story is actually just the facade for the battle between Aerith and Sephiroth in the lifestream. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends with Sephiroth being redeemed like a saar in the end because it's the only way to finally get rid of him, the have his humanity absorbed by the lifestream and the jenova filtered into oblivion. Like Poltergeist 3 or some shit.

Aeroth was saved in retrilogy timeline, the version where she dies are obvious visions of the OG timeline. Cloud will have to prove this to everyone and he will get some sort of ending with her.

The best thing is that Nomura does NOT realize how a badly constructed story that badly affects the main characters usually leads to awful sales. Nomura is about to see Kingdom Hearts become Final Fantasy XIII where each sequel sold less and less strictly because many customers hated the badly written story and trash main characters.

That's what awaits Kingdom Hearts 4. And this time it will be fully Nomura's fault. He will forever remember that he is the one who ruined Kingdom Hearts along with his minions Nojima and Tai Yasue. Hope that it haunts them and ruins their careers. And if Nomura and his minions don't care may they get hit by a car.

Used to like Kingdom Hearts but the writing became so genuinely terrible that its a legit embarrassment of a series. Notice how young people refuse to give the games a chance. On the other hand young gamers still give Resident Evil games a shot. And don't say its because Resident Evil is rated M because other family friendly brands that are old like Sonic still keep their momentum with young folk. Kingdom Hearts has truly become indefensible shit.
>>
I haven't played Rebirth yet but what do you mean by that?
Did they change Aerith's death?
>>
>>736899319
Doubt.
>>
>>736893843
Cloud saved aerith but she had to shift reality cause she has to die to stop sephiroth while having only cloud know that she is "alive" cause she is afraid that his he will just breakdown. It's also why the others were hallucinating that she died like when cloud having his memory episodes.
It's why she can fight with cloud at the end of the game and why he can talk to her more directly before entering the plane at the end.
Maybe instead of child cloud helping tifa restore his memories It's with aerith instead cause she's a pervert and a groomer.
>>
>>736899462
Perfect.
>>
>>736893843
Cloud saved her lmao. No way they added all the whispers stuff for nothing, anyone who thinks otherwise is coping
>>
>>736899610
They integrated cloud finally going completely crazy as a bait to fans expecting aerith to survive in an "alternate timeline". Cloud is seeing Aerith alive even though she's actually dead alluding to his eventual degradation into a drooling retard.
Honestly genius if you ask me.
>>
>>736899874
Is there anything about the Remake that isn't genius?
>>
>>736899136
They must have something even grander prepared for part 3. Otherwise they wouldn't gave gone with bringing her back so soon.
>>
>>736899610
She's dead in one timeline, alive in the other. But Cloud still sees her and interacts with her in both.
>>
>>736899906
Locking hard mode on NG+. Fucking braindead casualfag first playthrough so you're to play it twice to enjoy the actually good combat system is what makes me hate it.
>>
>>736899995
Stop being obscene. You need to play the story first before you jump to hard difficulty and the hard difficulty is balanced so that you have levelled up your characters and have equipment to go with the hard mode

>I'm a casualfag.
Yes. Go back to playing your gacha games.

>>736893843
sephiroth says it himself
>a confluence of worlds and emotions
2 worlds have merged or are in the middle of merging, one where aerith lives and one where she dies. cloud is living in both of them simultaneously while the rest of the party is living/only aware of the world where she dies

when sephiroth is explaining the multiverse to cloud it literally shows two worlds merging together
>b-but sephiroth is not a reliable narrator!!!
him and aerith are the only ones who truly know whats going on and aerith doesnt bother explaining jackshit.
>>
>>736900382
Not him, but Final Fantasy is literally the peak casual series.
>>
>>736893843
A cliffhanger so you wait and buy the next game, that's what happened.
>>
What are they going to do with my boy Zack now that they shot down his romance with Aerith? Is he really going to leave with Angeal in the lifestream like in the mobile game? That's a shit ending, I would prefer they let him live and find another girl.
>>
>>736899995
because taking away items and restoring MP definetely makes the combat better it doesn't
>>
>>736898509
I hope all of them die.
and then I hope nomura dies after the poor sales.

The Remake takes a lot of liberties with the narrative of Final Fantasy VII.
>>
>>736897335
i think it's more like "how do we innovate , how do we end the story ?" panic mode more than a technical/content creation setback , these shits didn't think they would get this far
>>
>>736900903
I hope you're right anon. I just hated his ending in the mobile game, it felt like a "how can we get rid of him now so he doesn't get in the way" type of ending. Unless they're planning another sequel with him and Angeal, which I doubt.
So my hope is they let him live and get to Gongaga.
>>
Will part 3 be the ending of the story and the compilation?
>>
>>736901394
There will never be an end to the FFVII Compilation. They'll continue milking it and its fans until Square Enix is no longer a company, and whoever buys them will continue milking it as well. It's the video game equivalent of the Star Wars movies.
>>
>>736893843
Does it matter?
They ruined the story of FF7 purposefully to hook retards into wasting their money on this piece of shit.
It's licensed fanfiction pretty much. It isn't worth thinking about.
Either mindlessly consume or move on with your life knowing that we will never get an actual remake of FF7 and not a sequel with a meta joke for a name.

They didn't have Marlene tell Zack that Cloud has to get better so he can save Aerith for shits and giggles. He's going to fucking save her and he will finally get to be happy.
>>
>>736901361
>another sequel
Anything's possible with square enix, lol
But Zack was already the protagonist of a game so they wouldn't use him. But Angeal still has hopes of one day being the main character of a compilation game, lol
>>
>>736901394
No, the anons who said FFVII will be milked forever will be proven right, and the anons claiming part 3 will be the end of it will be proven wrong, again, and their humiliation ritual will continue
>>
>>736900932
In the OG they have to keep up the pretense of Cloud being a tough exSOLDIER until the lifestream sequence. In Rebirth they stopped trying to hide his identity, so they let his reaction be more genuine. But I wonder how they'll make the lifestream stuff surprising now, since they've already teased and showed so much. They'll probably change it like Aerith's death.
>>
>>736904763
But they can only go
>Did Aeris really die?
Or
>Who is Cloud in love with?
So many times before everyone stops tuning in. It will at least be a turning point in how they milk it if they make future sequels. If they want to go the same AC route and continue with DoC, or if they set a fresh conflict for future sequels. I think they'll go with the latter.
