Aerith Dies In Remake (Complete Material Ultimania Breakdown) 

Sucks to be Aerith..

NOOOOOOO

Shit.

Unlucky

It's either "kill aerith" or "kill the recreation of the most tragic moment in gaming history" xD that's kind of an easy choice to make from their end lol

Who is the Hojo? Honest question lol

If I am buggen, You guys are the lifestream for me then. Thank you so much Tif!

@@Sleepezi im so late to the party, but you totally are! Dude, the remake made me sadly hate ff7 and it broke my heart because ff7 was my favorite experience ever, and you made me love it again and understand the devs probably don't try to backstab us, thank you for restoring my favorite passion in media!!

Yes, this!!!

Grief and loss in HD. I’m not sure I can handle it this time.

I think you have to make the choice to kill her yourself. It’s not really a choice since you won’t be able to beat the game with her alive. Like, at the end of infinity war, when Wanda are forced to kill Vision to prevent Thanos from taking the mind stone.

Them going against the narrative the game gave us just to reshock people is incredibly stupid. Everyone's Destiny was changed by the end of the game and it was explicitly stated. They destroyed what kept them fixed on their OG path. Not just some but all of them. What that means is unknown still but, at face-value, it is what the game told us. I think some aspects of his over-all theory are cool but that’s about it.

Steins;Gate all over again

I am so glad you liked it! That means a lot! I appreciate you taking the time to watch it as well! and since I have you here... RIGHT back at you! thank you for being a positive force in the community! its been a fun ride so far! cant wait to see where things go for us!

I agree! I want more!

IT WILL NEVER BE OVER!!! Lol Thank you for watching!

These almost my thoughts exactly. Sephiroth clearly understands how his fate is going to play-out, meaning he knows his downfall is set into motion the second he kills Aerith and returns her soul to the Lifestream, giving her the necessary access to it to stop Meteor. Also, we have to keep in mind that this whole project is under Tetsuya Nomura's directorship, and anyone who plays the Kingdom Hearts series knows how he has a knack for theory-baiting, only to prove everyone wrong in the end.

It could be argued that Sephiroth isn’t “defeated” by Aerith’s actions... but in fact... immortalized.

@@schrodingersbabyseal I would argue that's more Cloud's doing than anyone else's. He's the one who ultimately defeats him within the Lifestream itself (albeit in a more metaphysical fashion) and Cloud is a direct clone of him, clones being how Sephiroth manifests and interacts with the world and Cloud is evidently the strongest clone there is. That's why Sephiroth is determined for Cloud to survive beyond fate in Remake. It's Cloud Sephiroth needs in order to be immortalized.

@@schrodingersbabyseal Aerith realizing this in remake. Will she make the same decision?

Now...fan art lol

I really was aiming to use as many things in the tool kit as possible to push the videos further. I think the next few videos will be structured a bit better than this one, a little less flip flopping on tone, but I am so glad that the elements worked for you! Thank you Jared for watching, I hope to keep everything up to this quality and beyond. ^.^

I still have that CG OF minerva burned into my brain after binging his videos

"That ring tone...I want it too." Couldnt help myself lol Thats hilarious though! hahaha I appreciate this, and thank you so much for watching!

TAYLOR!!! Glad your here! :)

@@Sleepezi yo everything about this video SLAPS. The Production was incredible, the editing was funny, your voice and way you present has come on massively since your first FF theory video, more crisp clear and concise, you repeat yourself less. Yeah dude 100% easily becoming one of my favourite RU-vidrs

Oh boy is right! We will see how it ends up being! Thank you for watching Nacho!

I love floors, and I like Chilling. I also very much like talking about FF7. and have an even bigger like for people like you for your thoughtful and very kind comments. Thank you for being so supportive! And thank you for watching!

Lol the way you said that, I felt it in my chest. We will see what comes next. :)

Hey good news :)

@@makojuicer I know, right?! :)

THANK YOU FAM!!!! I super appreciate it!! It makes me happy to hear you enjoyed it so much! Thank you for watching! :D

Thank you stina! I am just glad you enjoy the videos! I get excited to put them out and read what you guys have to say, and appreciate seeing comments like these. ^.^ thank you for watching and commenting !

First off! I have to say thank you for checking it out live! even though it was delayed I am glad you could participate! your a true fan, and I am more than happy to try and resonate that power we all feel from this story, and to try and express where the story is being told for once, which is through the characters. and Remake does try and keep that super present in a very potent fantasy world. I can only hope that we can all continue to enjoy this stuff together, and I only hope for the best for the new installments to come! I really appreciate you sharing this, and taking the time to watch any of my videos. Thank you truly!

too deep for me. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ter4sqwWsqk.html thank you for watching!!!

I very much appreciate the kind words Ian, truly. And the people here and the community has been all but overwhelmingly supportive of me, its something I really value. I will continue to try my best for the both of us! Thank you again, and thank you for watching!

We are gunning for it, got a lot of FF7 to talk about and a lot more! So lets see what happens! Either way I appreciate you saying so! and I appreciate you watching! Thank you! :)

oh...There will be MORE. many more conversations I am excited to bring up and present to you all. :P I highly appreciate your enjoyment of the series, and you are a true champion for getting through all of it like that. All I can say to that is WOW! Thank you so much, for both watching like a mad man, and for this very supportive comment!

Keep doing the right things! we appreciate the content! Ff7 lore is amazing

You're correct. If everything this game told us is true, this is what is being set up. A lot of the fanbase hates change but I find everything being unknown more exciting and a lot more like the first time I played OG not knowing what to expect going in.

No. It's CLEARLY not "what is being set up." Stop cheerleading for Square to retcon the most important moment in the history of videogames because you don't want to feel sad. They're not retconning the death of a character whose death, and the finality of that death, represents one of the developer's mothers. We didn't see MORE tragic pieces of Aerith's life just to keep her. Writing 101 fellas. Like, basic stuff. You do not remove the "tragedy" in your Greek tragedy. This is not 1998. Aerith will not live. It's honestly crazy to me that any fan of this game would even want that to happen or would entertain the idea for a second. It would be terrible, horrible writing that completely flies in the face of every piece of exposition they've given us so far. It would fly in the face of every writing best practice there is. You're falling for the bait Square are laying out to make Aerith's death hurt even more, by making it feel like it was preventable this time around. PS Zack's fate wasn't changed. Come on. Watch the videos on THIS channel. More red herrings/wildly ambiguous pieces of content the game itself shows us is an alternate strand of time. Zack is dead. He will remain dead. Aerith will die. And she will remain dead.

@@davemccombs Okay, I'll bite. Care to elaborate on how her living this time is "bad writing"? Considering that this game series is not OG FF7? The game's theme and premise are entirely different than OG. The theme song itself is of Cloud's perspective of wishing to do things differently. The game introduces the Whispers and we defeat them. The game tells us at the end that the journey is Unknown from here on out. Biggs and (seemingly) Wedge survive. Main Sephiroth is the Sephiroth from AC. He even tells Cloud at the EoC "That which lies ahead, does not yet exist". Aerith at the end of the game reassures Cloud that "We can. We will." defeat Sephiroth. Her demise came because she believed she was the only one who could stop him. But this time she knows they can together. It's heavily implied she has memories/awareness of OG/AC so it all makes sense. This game is not OG. This game is the culmination of OG and the parts of Compilation that the devs want woven into the story. If you honestly believe that every detail in this game is a red herring, THAT is bad writing, my friend. If this was actually supposed to be a Remake fullstop, I would agree with you. But this is a sequel. Zack is also in an alternate timeline and is still dead in this timeline but that doesn't disprove anything. I trust that they will give us a serviceable story, regardless. Freaking out at the possibility Aerith lives and that that ruins an entirely different story they are telling is ridiculous. Edit: Maybe you are falling for the bait that she dies again. Seems to be the case considering how many people look past basic story-telling for ‘muh iconic scene!’. The entirety of Remake itself is just one big ol’ subversion for one character death that happened like a quarter of a century ago! Lol 😂

@@Solid-guy Well said 🎤 drop @gnomedazzle

@@Solid-guy Well said, so many people are narrow minded it hurts reading there comments. They can't seem to grasp beyond the narrative of og story.

Ya know, I had this thought too. And I hope so. I really don't like the idea of actively changing so much of og. It being in his head at Mideel would comfort my discontent. It would also explain a lot about the changes specifically. Because Cloud is full of regrets. Especially at the Mideel point in og story.

I thought about that as well

More to come like this! :)

Well...As always a pure, passionate, and very well executed reply from you, Frederico, is, and has always been quite a pleasure to say the least. The 7777 and beyond was knowing people like yourself were expecting something, it was always my want to try and get ahead of those expectations, and after a Patreon was made, It felt more and more like what needed to happen. But also because I was personally motivated to start reaching a bit higher with the quality. and were going to keep raising the percentage. I am very glad, truly, that you also came around when YOU did to for this content. Because your first comment truly made it clear to me how awesome it was to have a group of people that supported my content, and enjoyed watching what I made. Which in turn, made me grateful to you for how thoughtful you were in putting a reply together, not unlike this one here. Which made me also desire to keep engaging with all of the comments. Which is a practice I am trying to uphold! Pivoting to this new style was a bit of a wildcard for me, and I didnt know how much of a risk I could calculate while making it. I didnt even know I could edit it without making my computer burn. and I simply had no idea how any of you would react to seeing a man in his pajamas take the place of perhaps the man you thought was much less disheveled, or to your worst nightmare, just as you might have imagined me. A dude who had just researched the most niche, disliked, convoluted video game franchise lore of one of the greatest games of all time looked like. and also lived inside of a dumpster at one point during the filming of this video. (removed in post.) but I appreciate how much of an understanding you have of why that happened. Its because I want to be able to deliver you more of what I have to offer, as a small payment for what has largely made this possible, which is your support. Which, to clarify, you do so overwhelmingly so! In EVERY way for me. We have a long way to go, and I am going to enjoy, frankly, Every second if it. Without another way to express this, I say. Thank you. Thank. YOU.

Dude mine was, a dress up Aerith and Tifa here and there hopefully took care of that. XD Thank you very much for this, and thank you for watching!

I am sure sometime soon we will be shaking things up content wise, which I will very much be excited by. But I greatly appreciate all of you who make this fanbase, and this space, so great! Hopefully we will continue to grow, as we usually do after a video, and enjoy more FF7 content and more together! Thank you Rene, and very much a thank you for watching!

Super glad that you enjoed it Peeps! thank you for showing your support! And thanks for watching ;)

I hope it was worth the wait. lol Sorry for the tease!

Well I am glad you enjoyed this first experience, with such a perfect way of describing it. Lol. Thank you very much for watching, and thank you for this comment!

I am really glad you enjoyed it that much. This one took....a while. lol. but it is extra worth it for stuff like this. Thank you, and we will be back to this kind of video soon. ;)

Thank you again Cameron! :DDD

I very much appreciate you saying so Phil, I will continue to push the edits further in future content. as well as the writing! Thank you very much for your supportive words! Thank you also, for watching!

regardless of whom, I hope we are all just doing it out of love of the topic. Which I cant express how much I have with just the 6 videos I have done over the course of last year. Here is to more! Thank you Truska

Zeadrea, thank you truly for doing that! Already super appreciate people watching let alone commenting and supporting. Means a lot! again, thank you! :D

Topcat I super appreciate it! I am glad it met expectations! Thank you so much for your support! and thank you for watching!

@@Sleepezi No problem bro. Just keep doing your thing. Lol make me want to theory craft too. I have so many thoughts about this game all the time.

It gave me one putting it up, and reading this comment. Thank you Key Chan, hope you enjoyed the vid.

Thank you jim! I am so glad that you enjoyed it! definitely jarring, but hoping to make it more of my own over time!

appreciate that Nick tried my best! thank you for watching!

I always get that itch after seeing how you guys get excited...which makes me get excited. Seriously we have so much coming ff7 remake related its not even a joke, and I will be right there by you guys looking into it! Until the next one! Thank you for watching!

@@Sleepezi After your 5 part series so many elements I wanna see expanded. Obviously when you first play remake you get confused with the whispers and really question a lot of it. I think that has helped your theories flourish. I wanna see Genesis, Minerva and all the themes expanded upon in remake. I wanna cry when we get tricked and Aerith still dies. So many possibilities. I can't wait to see what you cook up next and float around the screen explaining next.

Only for you guys! Lets keep 2021 solid as a rock for FF7 hype!!!

First of all...Thank you very much! That is 1000% the goal. as long as we can keep the train moving and enjoy the ride till More games, whether that's pt. 2 or beyond! Glad you enjoyed the video, and thank you for your support! :)

First of all! Thank you for commenting, I have seen you doing so in larger conversations that I am making my way to, but this one I feel I can chime in since it's something I have been trying to clarify thus far in the comments. I want to establish that first, none of this is face value, if it was there wouldn't be any reason to speculate or theorize on the subject. So anything that is face value needs to be looked into, as the narrative creates mystery. I don't really understand the disconnect between the things I establish in the video, wing imagery and how that is a part of fate, Then establishing that as a visual language of storytelling, and then the clarification that these are established as being present even after the Harbingers death. And then seeing that there is still some sort of questionable aspect that fate is still in play for the characters. especially after the developers established Remake as an inclusion of the Compilation that strengthens the connection between these two subjects, Remake and the compilation. The only reason I get confused by this, is because this conversation of Fate is so clear, to me, as a subject that is not going to just end after this game, it is still at play for our main villain, and what he is seeking. And having established a level of mystery again with a feather for cloud in the very last scene. Again, a presentation that the conversation of this subject has not concluded. I also want to clarify also that I only describe the start of Remakes arc, and the falling action, which is where I address Aeriths death. Never do I describe the finale of the game, the outcome or conclusion of the idea of Destiny. If the subject of Destiny is on your character's mind, and unresolved, then the subject is still present, both internally and externally at play in the universe of the story. and it should be. our characters have yet to be challenged by the concept, they have barely scratched the surface of understanding what they just did, what they saw, what they experienced. So I think its safe to say, with the Crisis Core nods that are literal mirrors of each other, that there is more to talk about there for the developers, and that they want it to be established that there is. On both the subject of Fixed fates, and Defying destiny. My point with Aeriths death was to establish how far they can push that emotionally, to actually have this concept resonate with the player, push it farther for them, make us wonder if they can actually do something about things we know are coming, make us think we can and then make us doubt or feel as if we are failing. These are highs and lows of storytelling that make it important to understand how these elements need to affect our characters. Because if we give a rats ass about them, then these larger concepts will be instrumental to why all of this works to begin with. I clarify after the subject of wings, that there is a possibility in which this could be that what the overall point of destiny is doesn't need to be bleak, the end could very well have these characters defy their destined fates. But you can't jump to the end yet. Because the party doesn't know the point of what they were risking at all at the end of part 1. Which completely misses the point of the subject to begin with. Zack experiences this in crisis core, he watches everyone who is around him succumb to what they were destined to do, he watches Angeal die, he watches Genesis embrace his fate, he never gets to his goal because of this. Yes he seemingly lives in Remake, but the reason why that is impactful is because we know what he went through, and how he ended up just dying having not really achieving his goal. that cannot happen narratively to the characters yet, they haven't experienced anything for us and them to get the emotional release from the subject yet. So with the language of storytelling to establish and explore a larger scope of themes for those stories, to strengthen the originals already established ideas, and expand on them sounds like a very effective direction. you described the moment of death being used as reshock value (trademark square enix). That is not how I see it at all. what you call Reshock, is an essential part of character development for Cloud, and not for ooos and ahhhs they did it again! The point of describing these larger concepts, again needs to have reason. Purpose. The previously mentioned concepts give that moment purpose, and weight. I appreciate your comments and expressing your opinion on these things, I think that there is an importance to these discussions, and I wanted to give your post as much time and effort as you put into yours to reply. As well as the other ones that I mentioned above. Thank you for that, and for watching.

I for one think that there will be a few immutable story beats. There is plenty of room for an "unknown journey" while still traveling through the established narrative. The way I interpreted these videos accounted for that. There will definitely be some major changes, and moreover, some mysteries may finally be solved.

​@@SleepeziI think your response here becomes very understandable once you see the end of rebirth & I am looking forward to your commentary on it once you get there. Personally, I think rebirth has set into place what you bring up here about the party needing to be challenged by fate and that we are being set up for the "real" chance to defy fate in p3. There's a lot I want to say but don't want to spoil anything.

Think yours is a totally logic even intuitive question, a well as a non-sought argument upon wich the presented statement of inexorable Aerith's doom shoud be debunked as well.

I do.

Then don't play remake

I appreciate you saying so! I think its a jarring switch for some, and granted I have a lot of things that I want to do differently for next time, but I am glad you are on board, and I am truly excited to see where all of this goes! Thank you so much for your continued support! and for watching as always freedom panic!

@@Sleepezi in it for the long haul!

I really appreciate you saying so! and you guys are the Rockstar's (your all breathtaking!) I thought I looked like a man in his jamms, but I will take rock star instead gladly lol! Thank you for watching them, you guys who watch my videos have always made me want to push things further each time, and I hope to keep doing that into the future! thank you for your support as always! Truly!

I agree with this comment.

Thank you Batwing! I appreciate you saying so!

I am so glad you think so Pez!!! I miss you guys on stream! I hope to be doing that more now that the video is out! D:< again dude thank you so much!

@@Sleepezi My pleasure bro!

Cosmo Canyon Observatory's series on Aerith leads me more to the idea that Remake Aerith is only influenced by / communicated with the OG Aerith in the lifestream. I think that the evidence in Remake suggests that they aren't the same person. Interestingly, I think that the Aerith in her resolution scene is OG Aerith (with all the lifestream imagery suggesting this) speaking with Cloud. I'd recommend the video series if you're interested.

Thank you for watching Ryan! Glad you enjoyed! :D

No. No it is not.

Thank you once again Mo, you know how I feel about you and your work. if you dont. its all amazing. Picking through DoC stuff now btw :)

@@Sleepezi my pleasure, dude. I really adore your work. And thank you. Us hardcore lore enthusiasts gotta stick together.

Thank you for saying it so simply.

If this were true on a personal level I would feel sadder about wars and whatnot in other countries than when my dog died. On an objective level, as in metrics for affecting my life, for me my dog dying was more of a personal tragedy since wars in other countries do not reach my life in any noticeable way, especially since I do not watch news about it. I also do not think I would feel more sad if my dog had died from being chased by evil men shooting at her on a highway only to end up being killed by a moose that was frighted and trying to defend itself. More chances to die or more reasons might be thrilling at the moment, but the end is still the same. It was plenty sad that my dog died from having pneumonia. Struggle against odds and physical outside threats vs dying from suffocating is hard to value against each other in a moment of sadness, but history will record it as a tragedy regardless. I also do not think it would be more sad if my dog had died in a multiverse kind of way since I would still just lose my dog and does not really care for all the others me that lost their dogs. Avengers infinity war had insanely high stakes but the saddest part for me was Vision dying, not 50 % of the universe being snapped. And this was before we knew if the snapped people would all come back to life and if they would simply resurrect the people that died (Gamora as well). Was it a "bigger" tragedy? Sure on a scale of the amount of people that died. Hiroshima and 9/11 were bigger tragedies than my grandma dying but not living in Japan nor USA my grandma dying affected me more. Peoples feelings are personal. Some roll their eyes at Romeo and Juliette deaths in all the versions of the story since they know they are gonna die and that in of itself makes different versions just for being different tiresome, especially after the fact. It is not really a bigger tragedy if the story might change but didn't as there are versions out there that have happy endings but does not mean more to all people because of that. Aerith can die and in some interdimensional death or be "final destinationed" to die in every version of the multiverse, dualverse or however reality wants to and is defined for the story for whatever reason but is it really sadder? Does more Aeriths dying mean it is sadder? Is toying with the possibility more sad and if we add more stakes does it make it inherently more exciting? Would Avengers infinity war be even sadder if 50 % of the multiverse were snapped as well? Is the end of a single planet in a vast universe inherently less sad than timelines being distorted and or altered/destroyed or unbendable to the extent that we "have" to feel sadder because the scale is bigger? On a numerical level yes, more deaths and peoples "superdeath" through realities is a bigger tragedy as in how news would report and the reach to touch more people. Regardless, I would argue that we first of all do not need higher stakes, not in a sequel nor especially in whatever a remake would entail. Not in the chronological history that is changed nor because of storytelling. Bigger is not always better. I would also argue that feelings are personal and feelings can tap out as well because you cannot feel infinitely sad, but it's great for you and all that liked your comment that you think that the stakes are higher means something more to you and being hyped about that, and I wish you the best in whatever you expect and wants out of it. If your statement was simply about how a bigger event is reported as a worse tragedy and not a statement about how each person has to feel more then just disregard all this.

@@vincentgraymore It was indeed just about a bigger event reported as a worse tragedy. It also is the most used and classical narrative device to create stakes in a story - hoping for a resolution but failing and falling nonetheless - in order to, at the end, truly accomplishes what has to be done and feel the aristotlean catharsis. Sorry to hear about all that. Hope you are good.

​@@InfiniteTk No problem and I am not trying to use personal information as something to prevent or shut down discussion, just examples, just so you know. I just see a lot of people thinking that we "need/must have" some higher stakes to make Aeriths death mean something again, yet I do not agree with that. In my opinion the route they took with Jessie was a perfect example (if she stays dead) because it shows that there is no need for higher stakes for emotional payoff but rather just additional scenes and simply more time with the character. This from the mindset of knowing the story. Jessies additional arc did not require additional world ending threats nor higher overall stakes. It wasn't more or bigger in numbers tragedy but for many "better" than the OG, new or old fan (although I guess you could argue that it is more tragic to lose someone with a family and her stakes were higher as she also had to care for her family). I see a lot of "well 'you' wanted the same, but that is wrong because we need more/changes now" mentality and some use the sequel aspect as justification and some just say it is because of general knowledge of the story (like how the developers themselves talk about Sephiroths new involvement is actually affected by meta context of the popularity of the original). If this were true it would basically eradicate much theater as an art as well as investment in all classics still being classics, but I do understand the need to modernize things like dialogue or writing as well as adding things in between and explaining things differently. I just want people to ask themselves more questions in order to realize what and why in their own beliefs and investment. I do not expect people to agree with me. I just do not see why it would be an undisputable argument that a bigger tragedy or more reach or numbers of them is a "better" tragedy story, but I am not trying to say that is what you are saying. Just adding to an imaginary conversation/debate but seen in many corners of the fandom. With this mentality it is also strange to me that many doesn't consider the plate fall event less of a tragedy in remake when we have proof that in remake more people survived than in the OG. The stakes might seem the same except that an evacuation lessens it. Not to mention that the whisperers would have dragged down the plate themselves (should have if needed) making stakes rather iffy. Retelling, like reenactment and or alternative versions of Romeo and Juliet do not need more "because reasons of sequel or previous context", and while it is true what you say regarding storytelling in regard to catharsis in tragedies I do not agree with a statement that higher stakes automatically means we should have more or better emotional investment (not saying that is what you mean). However, I do see that in a general statement for constructing stories that is true as sequels in general ramps stakes in order to keep/reignite investment. When Spider-Man far from home was talked about many asked themselves how can anyone be invested in a story with Peter Parker after the resolution of Avengers Endgame? A common opinion was that the movie should not be that good because stakes cannot be higher than Endgame and/or if they were it would be stupid. It can be considered that over time the stakes had been ramped up so much that it also bloated the overall world investment, especially if we have new rules (like adding time travel). It was not hard to find opinions that there would be no worthy payoff without higher stakes. Yet the movie has almost identical ratings as homecoming on IMDB despite being a major step-down after Avengers Endgame. Perhaps DoCs world ending event needed to be topped on a story telling level and as a story as a sequel, despite that game not having great reach, sales at all which would work against the argument that everything is well known. With Omega there is basically only more insane over the top things that can be done and it would be a logical evolution to just insert time shenanigans or alter/rewrite/"compliment" the story to incorporate such.

Were in there like that Staggered. Were going down to reactor O all the way to the end of Remake! but until then, lets keep GOING! Thank you again!

The Meteor is what makes Sephiroth so powerful, and is the narrative tool that they used to create meaning for the events in my mind. there is sense in the Nonsense. Transcending real life...? I sure hope not lol

Some good ol Hojo back to the future romps! Great movie. And hojo is perfect for that role. Get on it Square! Lol thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!

NSP was just telling me about the colors in a poster, and since I am unfamiliar with FF outside of 7 as I have researched its become clear how much overlap there is. Someone previously mentioned the fear of death being a prime reason for the color choice, and you spelling that out for me with the Elder Cetra would greatly magnify that sort of focus for me in the future. because Fear is a blanketed term that can really bring out a ton of subjects. perhaps something to look into now...

The worlds enemy, such a good version of a classic. And picking up the Jet Set Radio is top tier Shazam shit Roko, you got the ones that counted. XD Thank you so much for watching!

Rachael!!!! I am so glad you got to check the video out! and loving that you enjoy it so far! Thank you also for popping into chat before the premiere, it made me so happy! Thank you thank you!

@@Sleepezi no thank you! I was bummed I missed the premiere - time zones suck. Throughly enjoyed this video, great quality as always. I hope SE are indeed taking notes! Just a pleasure to see your enthusiasm for this franchise, the amount of research these videos take must be tremendous so thanks again for putting your all into making them for us! Look forward to seeing more streams and videos.

I greatly appreciate that, I wanted to make this a start to more things like this in the future. here is to bigger and better. Thank you for your comments once again! :D

@@Sleepezi yes keep doing this type of format, it’s hilarious

My pleasure Quack! Good to see you! I hope you had a good holiday yourself! I wish the same for you in 2021, it will be an exciting year to say the least! I feel like I have a way stronger feeling of First soldier. Because of the circle around me who knows more than I can say, says to be excited for it. From what I have heard 1st soldier is going to be a very interesting experience. Might even turn NSP and 1st classes heads ;P (not that they need to like it! I just think they might like it for specific reasons.) Ever Crisis...and these announcements in general feel like genuinely what I have wanted since I started looking into FF7 as a whole series, a clarification and expansion of the Compilation, regardless if those are re written or not. Your question specifically, I think they are both games. I think we will see one of them on Switch, and I think one will be on PS5. Those are predictions based in nothing, but I dont see these being smaller things, especially because of Ever Crisis sharing its name in the order of past compilation games. I dont think dlc, I think that is thinking a bit too small at this moment. Square has a lot of people they need to convince who are completely against the compilation to like it, because if they dont, they damage the rest of Remake. I hope, that it is set after DoC, I dont expect Ever crisis to be, I think it could more likely be pt 2? if it isn't then I will still love it. XD Thank you for this question. I enjoyed thinking about it! and thank you again Quack for all your continued support! :D

@@Sleepezi you're welcome and thank you as well for your elaborate answer :) I'd really like First Soldier to be showcasing Sephiroth 1v1 everything xD Ever Crisis might even be what happens in the timeline where Zack survives :O I was so glad when I heard about those trademarks, it really "validated" what we were both hoping for about the ending: they probably made it this way to tear open a portal into more FF7 stories and content ^_^ I really hope they are gonna be full games too and a sequel of the main story after the events of DoC would be pretty interesting also :p

very much so, he was a big insperation, I tried to recognize me being too influenced, and am still trying to push myself more to be open in the format. Thank you for watching.

@@Sleepezi well, if you keep putting this amount of effort into your videos, you can't possibly fail!
