Video game logic prevails over Hollywood... When giant monster appears, don't shoot it with your rifles, bring in the rocket launchers and heavy artillery.
I think my favourite thing about this scene is that Shinra actually managed to kill it themselves. Usually in media giant creatures like this end up not being affected by guns and missiles at all, but here Shinra blew its head off with the Junon cannon.
I do look forward to seeing what they do with Sapphire and other WEAPONS in the Final Fantasy VII Remake series. I assume Junon will look more like a giant Port town and have Sapphire damaging more of the city/town itself? Maybe weaving through the streets or even tanking that first and second cannon shot and being driven off, so we can fight and finish it off later in the game? For Ruby weapon it will probably be changed to attacking the Golden Saucer this time? As it's near the location where it was located in the original game and Square does seem to enjoy these large-scale destruction scenes, especially in later games like in FFIX where the Party witnessed several cities and a planet being annihilated. So Ruby attacking the Golden Saucer feels right thematically. Ultima I think it could be reworked into an Aerial Battle, maybe even running interference for Diamond Weapon, keeping the Highwind and presumably the rest of Avalanche away? The fight against Ultima Weapon could be an aerial battle like the Celsius Battles from FFX? Maybe a mini-game with the Highwind deploying weapons to attack and wear down Ultima? I think Diamond's fight could remain mostly the same, with elements of Avalanche or Shinra's own military deployed against it, to try and slow its approach to Midgar down?
Sister ray killed 2 WEAPONS and destroyed BARRIER at north. Think whatever, but Shinra was great in doing that. How game will proceed if Cloud could not destroy barrier ?
I love Sephiroth but in this moment I couldn't feel nothing to him instead of hate and anger. The fact that he killed Aerith with no remorse, pure and too inocent girl, makes me upset. At the same time, I think this is the first time I cry a lot playing a RPG game, and I also think that for the era that this game was made, this scene was quite innovative, because of its CGI and music, also 'cause of its story...
Maybe some one can help me... Im looking for a specific clip of her imitating Christopher Walken. I saw it on the show years ago and i cant find it. If anyone sees it, lemme know pls thx.
Just here to give a big fuck you to everyone who spread this scene all over the internet, that way I was spoiled. I couldn't fucking look up "Aeris" without the word "death" popping up next to it, so thanks for that. 🖕
It's SEVEN SECONDS from the moment Cloud sees the flashing light to Sephiroth landing and impaling Aerith....Could that be the reference at the end of the Remake?
0:26 Batman at the moment would be like Batman: screw this I’m gonna run across * Ice breaks * Batman: crap it’s cold * Jaws theme * Shark: nom nom *Shark bites* Batman: God Damn it I should have brought the shark repellent Batman: ahhhh! *Shark Burps*
