    The fact that Aerith knows about her death is not a theory, but a fact. She tells Cloud not to fall in love, before saying words, hinting at her death. I think everyone familiar with the original immediately understood this . But then Ultimania was released, where Nojima said that this scene would be understandable for people who know the fate of Aerith in the original, which makes it not a theory, but a fact.

      After Sephiroth is beat at the end of FF7 OG, Aerith opens her eyes.
      Hence the titles Remake and Rebirth (translation: Reincarnation) I don’t think characters will die.

    I believe Aerith reset the timeline at the end of the original for all the reasons you said. Also, the Whispers go after her pretty hard because she's trying to challenge fate and "make things right". Their role is to keep things happening the same, but she is actively moving/nudging things in a different direction. At the Shin-Ra tower, she says that everytime the Whispers touch her, she loses a part of herself. Well, I think this means that when they touch her, they take away memories from the original timeline, so by the end of the game you can tell that she is very uncertain about the choices she makes--while in the beginning she is very sure of herself. At this point in the beginning of Rebirth, she may truly have no idea what's in store, so she'll have to trust herself to make choices that will end up in a better future.

      I don't think she reset the timeline. The opening of both games, she is looking into the mako leaking from the pipe. After beating the original game, you see Aerith in a black void, looking up in the same way. I believe she is able to use the mako as a crystal ball of sorts to see the future. The original game was her vision. This game is reality and the whispers are the force trying to keep the events the same. The "Remake" doesn't refer to the developers remaking the game, it refers to the characters remaking destiny.

    The biggest hint of this theory is that the opening scene of the original pans in on Aerith looking at the leaking mako pipe. Her eyes are already open. In the end of ff7 og they showed the same scene but Aerith is opening her eyes. The ending of ff7 matches up with the beginning of remake because Aerith is opening her eyes instead of them already being opened.

    I think the sephiroth we are seeing is after Advent children as the whispers show up there when he appears.

  • @MultiMoo
    @MultiMoo Před rokem +16

    Another way to look at it is that the events of Remake don't take place after, but rather alongside. The lifestream perceives things non-linearly, which is why ancient and future knowledge can be grasped by the Cetra. I feel like this is also what Sephiroth exploited when he / Jenova infect the lifestream. Any time the mako / lifestream is also interacted with like the mako reactor explosion, or the plate falling and so many people dieing - fumes / mako particulates fill the air. This seems to coinside with many of the moments that Cloud not only sees Sephiroth, but that scene with Aerith after finding Wedge (and Aerith isn't fully in-tune with the planet yet, based on what she says about the flowers - but certainly more than the beginning of OG FF7).

    Another thing is that time doesn't exist in the lifestream. So Aerith and Sephiroth are still in there. I believe that Aerith in the garden, the night before the mission to save her, is OG Aerith speaking to Cloud from the lifestream.
    Im not sure i think this is a different timeline so much as the timeless nature of lifestream allowing Aerith and Sephiroth, and to a lesser extent Cloud to essentially project their memories into their past selves. Not so much for Zack, since he be dead during events of OG. Nit that he doesn't have valuable info. But he just HAS that info. No need for lifestream shenanigans.

    Dude, you're right about almost everything except Cloud. Cloud doesn't have knowledge, another life form that is built into Cloud has it, it's Jenova. So there are three people who know about the future - Sephiroth + Jeenova vs Aerith. The flashbacks he sees are all Jenova sees, and he doesn't understand their meaning like Aerith and Sephiroth do. Migraine, after which the vision happens, is the result of Jenova, Aerith has this knowledge, and it does not cause her headache

    • @sindelio

      I agree, his visions are probably related to Jenova cells. Jenova is a being that uses psyhic powers to control others. Cloud is connected to Sephiroth via the Jenova cells, in a sense we can say he's been fighting Sephiroth in his mind for control the whole time. A side note, the omnislash fight vs sephy in the OG has more weight than one might think, it wasnt symbolic but actually happened in a mental place between sephy and cloud similar to the edge of creation

    When you bring Aerith home and she comes downstairs with the flower baskets it doesn’t come off as anything noteworthy initially but if you go up to her door she’ll say something like “I swear I put them here” meaning she didn’t just grab a couple baskets and come back, she only owns 2 flower baskets, you could argue one of them is for her mother but if they’re both kept in Aeriths room it’s probably more likely she made one for her and one for Cloud before meeting him

  • @JaredTVW
    @JaredTVW Před rokem +10

    Great job connecting all these things and showing us in such detail. You did a fantastic job. I just want to add some things I saw.
    FF7: Even in the OG, Aerith had an air of unknown surrounding her. After they are all captured in Shinra HQ, and a mysterious circumstance allows them to escape, Aerith has suspicion of who attacked the HQ and let them out. At this point, she should not know who Sephiroth or who Jenova are, as she has not been present in any conversation regarding them. Yet she seemingly knows something.
    After beating the Robot vehicle and everyone is deciding to leave Midgar, Aerith says she has so much to learn. Cloud asks specifically if she means about the Ancients and Aerith responds with, “Many things…” It’s easy to assume she has some knowledge of things that are yet to come and that she potentially wants to specifically learn more of Sephiroth and Jenova.
    After Cloud’s story in Kalm, Aerith try’s to open up, about all the things she is thinking about. She mentions the Cetra, Jenova, Sepiroth and herself, then stops and silence falls between her, Cloud, Red and Tifa, only for Tifa to suggest they keep moving. This silence reminds me of Aerith in the Remake during the scene where Cloud sees her visage. She trys to open up to Cloud about something, perhaps the knowledge she has, but then Cloud fills the silence with “You need to cherish this moment.”
    Obviously she realizes something in Cosmo Canyon when she confides that she really is alone, Cloud says something like, can’t we be here for you, and she just turns away from him, perhaps already knowing that she would not be able to be saved by them in the end.
    It honestly seems like even in the OG, she had some prior knowledge even as early as Midgar. Many people have said after she learns more of the Cetra in Cosmo Canyon, then her job became known to her, but it really seems like she knew from at the very least, the opening moment of the game.
    It’s crazy how deep the OG was and how the Remake, a clear sequel in my eyes, is blowing open the old story and making even that experience feel new! Really goes to show just how incredible this story was.

    @pikadragon6826 Před rokem +1

    Great theory! I’ve had similar thoughts since my own play through, and you gave me more evidence for this. Another thing to consider is that the whispers only made themselves known to Cloud after Aerith grabbed his arm. This leads me to believe that the whispers only reveal themselves to individuals who have significantly deviated from the original world line. Quick recap of everyone who can see the whispers: Aerith, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Wedge, Biggs, Jessie, and Rufus Shinra. Aerith is the first person we know of to have been targeted by the whispers, with Cloud joining the list shortly after. The rest of avalanche likely got included as a result of being in close proximity with someone who was already deviating from the world line. As for Rufus, he might be able to see them as a result of his battle with Cloud, which I don’t believe ever happened in the original. One thing I want to mention is that the whispers are mentioned to have been born from the planet itself. This leads me to believe that the planet is in someway ok with how the story turned out in the original. Therefore the vision of the future Cloud had could just be a leakage of the life stream’s memory that he can pick up on due to his exposure to mako. As such I believe the whispers were put into action by someone who has a strong connection with the life stream and would have the most reason to change the future. I don’t know too much about the original games, but I’m pretty sure that the citizens of the planet have been through at least 2 separate apocalypse scenarios, those being meteor and the disease from advent children. Furthermore the only two characters who have a strong connection to the life stream are Aerith and Sephiroth. I don’t know much about Sephiroth’s original intentions to rule him out, but I believe it is likely that Aerith, upon seeing what the future people went through, decides to change the future. The only question is did she get the memories from the life stream or did she go back in time?

      My thought is that the OG ending, while not ideal, is actually a “good” outcome. If it wasn’t then why would Sephiroth need to change the timeline to begin with? Sephiroth’s goal is to unbind destiny so he can create an ideal outcome for himself. Period. This means that no one is safe. 😅

  • @off-meta-michael
    @off-meta-michael Před rokem +4

    Great video but I think the answer is less concrete than "it all happened before." With the lifesteam being annihilated by mako reactors I don't see how the cycle can repeat and sustain the planet through multiple iterations or timelines. This is the crisis of the planet: The lifestream, which is made of souls essentially, are not being reused, they are being used and destroyed by mako reactors.
    I think Aerith as the last remaining ancient is so in tune with the lifestream, which contains the memories of those who have died and are passing through it, that she embodies some of this memory as if she experienced it herself. The whispers seem to be a neutral force but also in juxtaposition to this idea of giving memory, where they are making Aerith forget things. She mentions how she loses a part of herself when the whispers touch her. The ultimania speaks of "future memories" but I don't think it is as simple as a time loop or knowledge of a separate timeline. I think the lifestream's sense of time is not linear and it's will to protect itself is generated by all this memory pointing to an outcome where it survives.
    I know it sounds like I'm splitting hairs here and basically trying to say it's not a sequel while saying OG is part of the memory, making it a sequel, but im really not, because at the end of Remake it seems that Aerith is cut off from this concrete knowledge now and doesn't see the "future memories" anymore because they have taken away the mechanism that would ensure that outcome. It's like someone took your plan you wrote down in detail and replaced it with some colors or sounds that give you a feeling of what the plan was. I really do think it's that wishy washy and that the remake series will never directly come out and say, hey it's a sequel. They might leave this open completely to interpretation by the player.
    The final thing is that the sequel idea makes it so that while you play the next game you might wonder why anyone is retreading anything, because if the "bad ending" is to be avoided, and sephiroth doesn't want to lose, then why have the meteor on the logo? Why retread the black materia and meteor and the weapons and allow Cloud to break and have to fix him? What is the purpose of re-living all of this? Also Aerith is the only one that seems to be "remembering anything" and understanding it. When Cloud get some flash he can't understand it at all.
    I think you can solve this narrative issue by thinking about the lifestream as a non linear memory trove that only Aerith and Sephiroth are in tune with in some way.

    The subtle differences in the various start / end and even ff7ccr post credit scene are also strongly hinting at a restarted timeline which had to be remade. 🤔

    I think “Remake” is actually a double entendre serving as a subtitle. As someone who never played the original, this is something that clicked for me when they discover that presentation of the Cetra utopia. Cloud as a Soldier is supposed to be a false memory, like he’s a remake of Zack. Sephiroth is a remake of Genova. The proposed Neo Midgar is a remake, but also perhaps the biggest theme is that Shinra is trying to “remake” the Cetra promise land. Just as Rebirth means a new starting point, Remake has its own meaning , especially with the sequel theory. If it was actually a remake, why subtitle it that? Remakes don’t have “Remake” in their title.

Sephiroth tries to protect aerith just at that point multiverse 3 zacks timeline some how merges with this one and zack arrives just in time to see cloud kill aerith and joins sephiroths side. due to not realising aerith wanted cloud to kill her but eventually completely loses his mind wanting to merge all 3 multiverses thus forcing cloud and sephiroth to fight against him

    I like the idea that aerith used and influenced the life stream to make a new midgar and trapping those who were still alive and somewhat brainwashed into reliving past events but there is a problem with this theory marlin would be older if that was the case

    I am writing this before the video so we may come to the same conclusion. I think the reason for Aeirth could see the future is because of her Cetra heirtage. Now hear me out!
    So it is no secret that the Cetra's has this special trait to interact with the lifestream. But in the end of the Advert, Sephiroth had merge his life to the lifestream. Forging a strong bond between the lifestream and life. Now in death there is no boundary of time as many myths and stories pointed out. So what if Sephiroth found a way to transfer his consciousness not to just another body, but to his past. He transfer his consciousness to a certain point between the Neilheim incident to events prior to Midgar which cause the whisper of fates to become disturb. Realizing what Sephiroth is planning, Aeirth decided to do the same thing. This is why the Whispers of Fate were bothering her in the beginning as she wasn't supposed to know about the future! The only reason they stop was because time started restoring itself when Sephiroth had Avalanche fight the Whispers. Because of their actions, the timeline is now broken to different fractions which could lead to a path where Sephiroth achieve his goal of wiping out all of humanity.
    Sound stupid?

      It could be possible that the Farplane is Spira’s version of the Lifestream, and in turn whatever Aerith is here could be the Lifestream’s version of the unsent.

    I don't think Aerith is going to die this time. That song Hollow is clearly from og Cloud's perspective and how he is begging for a new chance to save Aerith. That song seems to be foreshadowing what is going to happen in the future and i think that this might be one of the biggest plot changes. Aerith dying again wouldn't have any shock value anymore.
    However this might mean that this time it is Tifa and Barret who are in danger. We did get a vision of Sephiroth killing them both in remake and Cloud was right there and he was completely powerless to do anything about it. I have a feeling that atleast one of them is going to die, maybe saving Aerith and dying in her stead.
    Also Sephiroth gave Cloud a cryptic message. "Seven seconds till the end. Time enough for you, perhaps. But what will you do with it? Let's see."
    It takes exactly 7 seconds for Sephiroth to kill Aerith in the og game. Maybe this is just a coincidence, but i think not. I have a feeling that either Tifa or Barret saves Aerith but end up dying causing Cloud a major emotional damage.

      Tifa and barret can try to save aerith but the arbiter of fate will still claim aerith like they did wedge. Even when barret got stab by sephiroth, they healed barret to save him because it wasnt his time. Mean aerith cannot escape her fate.

      Aerith dying would still have tremendous shock value to me if, in rebirth, they reveal this theory to the player to be true, meaning the characters all know what’s going to happen and are actively trying to stop it from happening, together, but in the end she still dies. I think I would be just as heartbroken as the first time, because isn’t that what we are all hoping for? The “good outcome?” You could even say it seems that the characters are as invested in that outcome as we are, and vice versa. After 27 years, all of us still hoping like hell we can change the past. 🐚

I stopped even trying to slog my way through a hard mode playthrough at that boss. I didn't like the combat, played 2/3 of the game on easy so I could play more than 2 hours without throwing my controller across the room... dont know how I made it to chapter 9 in hard mode in the first place tbh.
    Also in future parts, I'd love for them to kill off Aerith, just cause pretty much everyone is expecting her to survive the story at this point, boy will it hurt to see her die again, expecting the opposite to happen.
