All questions you can ask Cissnei - Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth 

Aerith asking if Cissnei is expecting 'someone'😢 Cissnei still waiting for the puppy.

That Crisis Core music ... man

The Crisis Core OST in the background... Then you hear Cissnei wishes to see Zack again... damn

The truth is, I’m an ex-Turk who was closely tied to Zack and after betraying Shinra to help Veld, my old boss and his daughter, ex-leader of the first Avalanche and defeating Zirconiade alongside my other defecting Turks I went into hiding

Who loved Zack more Aerith or Cissnei? For the fact that Cissnei moved to Gongaga and looked over his family shows a lot. A nice twist from Noumara to really build Cissnei's character. I'm sure she will be back in Part 3. Cissnei got closure by meeting Aerith.

0:45 Yuffie: 🧍‍♀️

I love and hate how vague this all is. If I didn't play Crisis core I would be confused af.

I like how Cissnei said in the last dialogue, knowing well she meant Zack. What Zack saw in Aerith that makes him fall in love with her.

Finally! Since Crisis Core, this is the character I’ve really wanted to know what happened to.

Really hope she's in the next game and hopefully meets Zack again.

Ah yes, this music. "Underneath The Apple Tree (Banora White)" *CRISIS CORE FFVII*

Damn! Cissnei deserve some closure. It's still inside her... the guilt is still hunting her. There's no way she don't know what happens to Zack because she is still a Turk in hiding or mighty be a spy sent by Tseng. Her feelings for Zack is genuine as far as I can see...

This whole section was a good callbacks. I hope they give Cissnei a big role in part 3 or at least a few chapters. I feel that conversation where Aerith is hyping her up and saying if anyone could she can is telling like she’s gonna be a key piece. If Zack is with the party that reunion would be poetic.

I don’t know what it is but I really love Cissnei’s voice acting especially when she pronounces words like “awhile” when saying “been following you for awhile”. Maybe it’s the sass she gives off.

I knew that Cissnei recognized Cloud, what I didn't expect is that he maintains so much secrecy in revealing the truth about where he knows him from, perhaps she will confess it in the third part once Cloud already knows the whole truth. Although I don't understand why Cissnei tries to keep it a secret that she was one of the Turks, she could easily say it in confidence.

thanks for uploading this. i wish they weren't so vague about everything =w=

Thanks for uploading this. All the guides online said she says the same thing for each choice, that "it's none of your business."

Man Cissnei really does love Zack doesn’t she ?

As much as i like zerith, i like cissnei also. So if aerith not end up with zack i hope they make zack with cissnei. I just want my boy got happy ending 😂

I played Crisis Core for the first time just 1 week before Rebirth came out and Cissnei became one of my favorite FF7 characters in less than a minute, so I was super happy to see her brought back for Rebirth. I wish she was a bigger part of it, but at least she's tied to a couple of side quests to flesh her part out a little bit.

1:52 so Cissnei senses Zach is alive in another reality? Her dialogue kinda reminds me of how Cloud feels guilty and misses Aerith after she dies in AC, except Cissnei has hope that she'll see Zach again 2:00 - spoilers - - - - Both A and Z will be 'dead' characters in this reality/timeline, but the ending to Rebirth leads me to think Cissnei and Cloud will somehow be able to meet them again :) calling it now - worlds will merge in FF7R part 3, Cissnei and Zack will be reunited, as will Aerith and Cloud

I'm surprised Cissnei would not give out spoilers, and Cloud is really sharp thinking about Cissnei's hidden secrets

One thing I learned on this scene Cissnei and Aerith are definitely Zack's Harem

She just gave us a hint that Zack is alive but not with us - a.k.a. wandering in the dream worlds as we play Rebirth.

I have a feeling that in part 3, she'll join the Turks to help with the evacuation on Midgar, and maybe we'll see other Turks from Before Crisis.

Who knows, maybe in Zack's timeline he would team up with Cissnei and solve whatever crisis need to be dealt with in part 3.

Son Cissnei did recognize Cloud After all, I wasn't sure, because she doesnt seem bothered by the fact that he doesnt remember Zack, but the. She met Cloud when he was mako poisoned, she must know have deduced that Cloud forgotten memories were due to this, and for some reason she wants him to remember on his own and not with her help

What a woman, for what was a one sided crush in Crisis Core... she's seriously taking it all the way on her end, willingly, without complaints, all for a memory as she knows he's dead. It really doesn't get any further than looking after the dude's aging parents and protecting his hometown. Then we have... Aerith hitting on Cloud first thing because he reminded her of Zack. Geez.

There are many great female characters in ff7 rebirth, like Esther, Commander, and Kirie. I think Sisne has the most special position among them. Aerith and Sisne are both closely related to zack, but they differ in crucial aspects. Aeris vaguely remembers zack as a "friendly older brother in the neighborhood" who hung out with her sometimes. Sisne and zack have been on several missions together and have supported each other by affirming their introverted sides. In Crisis Core, Sisne was supposed to kill zack, but for some reason she didn't. I think this is how Sisne truly loves zack, otherwise it wouldn't be possible for him to protect his hometown alone and take care of zack's parents. So, I think the relationship between the two is something like “a stupid, but honest and kind boyfriend who started out as a business relationship.”

They’re trying really hard to hide Zack.

I still am holding out hope Zach and Cissnei will meet again and end up together. I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I really like their banter and chemistry.

She was a really good addition to Rebirth. Just the right amount of mystery and very well delivered/written. The way she dealt with Cait Sith and Chadley was perfect. A lot unsaid but one of the better presentations in terms of facial expressions conveying everything you need to know.

5:19 Cissnei (to Aerith) : Yeah... Aerith : Yeah what? Cissnei (to Cloud) : Yeah? Cloud : Yeah...?

Is it just me or did Cissnei imply in the final dialogue that Cloud likes Aerith?

She hasn’t even told Zack her real name 😢

I ship Cissnei with Zack over Aerith personally.

3:24 She’ll be crushed if you can’t manage to remember her, but she won’t actually tell you regardless 😭

It would have been so cool if that quest would have allowed Cissnei to be a guest party member and participate in battles.

She is ex-shinra and now lives in Gongaga. Aerith even cooked with her and talked about having dinner with the Fair's. I'm surprised Aerith has not put the pieces together that the guy she is talking about is Zack. Or maybe Aerith knows she just wants to keep a poker face.

Cissnei is so good at conspiracy :)

I’m surprised Aerith didn’t mention the Soldier First Class she once knew. She tells everyone about him, but not by name.

I started out with Crisis Core and not the original FF7. So when I first met Aerith, I thought it was Cissnei in a different outfit and hair style LOL

Cissnei being Hojo’s bodyguard on the Sephiroth clone project is an unexpected twist.

Cissnei is my babes

thanks

Why didn't Cissnei tell Cloud and Aerith the truth? That She's part of the Turks and also Zack's close friend. And why didn't Cissnei also ask Cloud about how Cloud could have the SOLDIER Uniform and Buster Sword that were supposed to belong to Zack?

I would ask fo a date. Cissnei is so precious.

They actually made the best girl appear in the remake 😭😭😭

Hope next game Zack and Cissnei meet up and join cloud, tifa and the others against sephiroth.

Back then after playin crisis core for the 1st time when it came out i always wondered what happened to her and the remake shows her a part of her story

I felt so bad for not picking the first answer! We were so close to finding out Cissnei’s identity that I *had* to ask her. But the things she admits regarding her connection with Zack is so meaningful and heartbreaking. Knowing Cissnei still feels guilty these years since Crisis Core really brings a lot of light to her character. Btw I’m still on Chapter 12(?) where this quest appears, so please no spoilers. Just let me play my game. 🤫

Why does she see whispers, though? 🤔 Rufus saw whispers in Midgar, too.

Cissnei should be with Zack more than aerith who has moved on to Cloud

Oh man I'm waiting for this.

I STARTED CRYING WHEN I HEARD THE MUSIC

Please make a Cissnei spinoff

Theory why she didnt tell them the truth. She knows Cloud was suffering from Mako poisoning the last time she saw him. This is probably her way of protecting him, just like Zack did in his last moments. She wants him to remember on his own. Secondly, explaining that she saw him die, would also require her to explain why she was there and she clearly doesnt want anyone to know she was a Turk. Finally, she's waiting for him to come back. She might have saw him die, but she doesnt say he's dead. Even in her vague way, only that he's gone. She probably doesn't want to admit it out loud. She's in the denial stage of grief.

1:48

Damn, I never got this side quest...

Did they ever reveal cissei real name in this game?

Heart is a very strange thing and Zack will probably never find out which woman really loves him. Because, how can you find out if someone loves you? There is probably only one objective criterion and it is when someone goes away from their comfort zone just for you, when they do some things which they normally wouldn't, when they do something not liking, in other words, to judge a person by actions and not words. And Zack's game, Crisis Core, is written in such a way that it is nearly impossible for anyone to help him because he is able to help himself on his own. In fact, Crisis Core is a masterclass in writing. One of the main themes there is the view of the world through the lens of a popstar. Soldiers are conceptualized like popstars. They have fame, fanclubs, easy travel, freedom. But how can they find out who really cares for them? Zack is a Soldier, a popstar. He meets Aerith and thinks he found real love. And in the context of Crisis Core, it's perfectly valid. Look at her actions in Crisis Core. She hugs Zack, lets him persuade her to sell flowers, and when he disappears, she sends him letters. It is not much but in the context of Crisis Core, it is OK. She seems to be quite passive, a princess type afraid of any change and the need for cuddling, and probably not having abilities to do more. If only there was just Crisis Core. But alas, there is FF7, and it shows that what she has done for Zack is the literal minimum of what she is able to do, and the whole thing with Zack was just fangirling. Look at her actions in FF7, when she obviously finds the real love of her life, Cloud, we will find how active she is when she wants. Firstly, she meets him on Loveless Street, he immediately catches her attention, maybe because of a similar hairstyle, clothes, and sword like Zack's. And she wants to be remembered, so she immediately gives him a flower. Well, as small a thing as it looks, in these games, gifts are taken very seriously, and this gift is mentioned more times later. But did she ever give any gift to Zack? Well, here she just caught an interest and they departed. But a few days later, Cloud fell through the roof of her church and that was the moment where she completely lost it. She took it as a sign of God, and maybe she was right, that this is the right man for her. From this moment, it was just a play of cat with a mouse, where Aerith was the cat and Cloud, ever thinking he does what he wants, was just a plaything. I don't say she is manipulative; she probably did it intuitively, but her actions are clear. She fell in love so much, she was so sure that this is the right man that like immediately she decided to show him to her mother. Oh Aerith, you didn't show Zack to your mother in two years' time, what happened, that you are able to do it immediately? You lead him to your mother. Mother understands but doesn't like Cloud and disapproves of your choice, sending him to secretly leave. What did you do Aerith? You don't ever say goodbye to your mother and leave home just to be with him. He leads a dangerous life? Never mind. You find there is another woman in his life? Doesn't matter, you will fight. In a few days, you leave everything which you liked, you travel under the sky, you don't like, go to countries, far away from your beloved slums. In the end, you even lose your life just for his cause. And even after death, every time when you could help him, you do. You gave literally your everything to Cloud. And you want to tell us that you really loved Zack? Like really? Zack always perceived Aerith as a city mouse, timid and passive. Little did he know, she was actually an assertive lioness, especially when deeply in love. Now, with hindsight, it becomes clear how little she truly cared for Zack. She hugged him, yes, a very beautiful scene and meant much for Zack. But for her? It cost her nothing. You can quite see how later with friends, this fangirl is speaking that she has a boyfriend and he is a Soldier and she even hugged him. And when he vanished in Nibelheim? What were her thoughts? No stretch, it was something like this: "Oh, Zack surely doesn't love me anymore. He probably found someone else. Unfortunate me. But I will not leave it this way, I will fight, I will send him letters..." Yes exactly, a fangirl. Imagine Cloud in Zack's position. Aerith wouldn't send him any letters; she would take action. She'd inquire with the Turks, other Soldiers, or even journey to Nibelheim herself. Within a month, she'd either be dead or have Cloud back. But for Zack, it was different. Why? Zack couldn't have known this. It's a double tragedy; he dies not far from Midgar, his last thoughts consumed by a fangirl rather than someone who genuinely loved him. It could have been even worse. Aerith might not have realized she was merely fangirling; it was her first romantic relationship, and she didn't know any better. Perhaps she genuinely believed she was in love with Zack. But what about Cloud and Zack's friendship? I hope Cloud truly is Zack's friend. Perhaps there's an opportunity for Cloud to step out of his comfort zone, to go out of his way to help Zack, instead of the other way around, as it always is. Now, consider this hypothetical scenario: the endgame could be Cloud choosing Tifa over Aerith. In response, Aerith, out of despair and seeing Zack pining for her, might sacrifice herself for him. This is where Cloud's true friendship could shine. Cloud could either remain silent, being a false friend, leading to Zack living with a woman he thinks loves him but doesn't, and with a friend who isn't genuine. This would be in line with the themes of Crisis Core, as many pop stars endure such false relationships. However, while this ending is intriguing, I'm not a fan. I want a happy ending for Zack. Alternatively, Cloud could prove his friendship by intervening, saying, "Hey Zack, Aerith, don't ruin your lives. Zack, I know it hurts, but she doesn't truly love you. Aerith, I wish you the best." This would clear the air and lead to a genuinely happy ending. Plus, Zack could find someone who genuinely loves him. And we already know who it is. Yes, it is Cissnei. He can now see that while Aerith was writing her pathetic letters, she was going to his parents, tending to them. When he escaped from the laboratory, she twice disobeyed orders. Even after his death, she went again to his parents, absolutely committing herself to his memory. She never moved on like some fangirl of Aerith. Her actions are so much more than Aerith's ever been. And now they give us Cissnei here, it is like a ray of hope for Zack, that he has the possibility to have a happy ending. How nice it would be. I so wish they don't put him in another suffering, but I don't have much faith seeing Rebirth where they let him die like three times? Why are you doing this to him? If you like him, give him a happy ending with Cissnei. And if you really like him. Make a proper remake of Crisis Core, not just a remaster, and put a real affection system so we can choose who we love. How I would like to say to Aerith: "You are such a child unripe for a real relationship :-)." Zack deserves better.

how much birth is in Rebirth?

Y’know what’s especially messed up about this? Cissnei never found Zack. Let that sink in for a moment. This is gonna get really dark: Crisis Core Spoilers . . . . So are we to assume OG Zack’s body was recovered by Hojo’s troops, taken back to Shinra Manor, where Hojo dissected the crap out of him? That’s messed up!

what a woman

I ship Cissnei with Zack and Tifa with Cloud. Aerith can go back into the lifestream tbh

Does the answer you pick affect your bond status?

A woman that doesn't take any kind of accountability l o l

I love they brought back Cissnei but by doing so they created some inconsistencies Cissnei should recognise Cloud as she followed Zack with Cloud and let them go… Cissnei should have known Zack died being in the helicopter. Cissnei as a Turk knows Aerith. So you would expect her to say ‘I’m so sorry, I saw Zack die’. If she did not know Zack died, I’m sure she would have said ‘Cloud, the guy with you. Did he die? How did you get his buster sword?. If she truly cared and love Zack she would have asked this. Anyway…

I hope zack and cissnei will end up❤ .. aerith and cloud feels forced and i dont see them fitting each other but if they want it ,they can have it .. Cissnei is best girl❤

Whats the name if the ost i cant find it

zack...

Sorry to all those Cissnei fans out there, but... this just makes me hate her. Instead of being forthright about what she knows, she intentionally dangles the truth in front of Cloud. She's fully aware that he doesn't know Zack when he *should* and even though he needs answers to figure out what's going on in his own mind, she just kinda waltzes off without giving much. Real jerk move on her part.

They know exactly what they doing, Tifa, Aierth and even Cesseni don't want to tell Cloud, It so obviously Cloud know Zack, Especially for Aeirth, Why would Aierth come with a stranger she just met to a dangerous mission? Aierth knew she can trust him because of she instanly recognize a sword, and the first class and the eye, it a only reason why Aierth join Cloud to a journey all because of Zack, Aierth knew what she doing! And the fact that when cloud telling a orgin story, Tifa instanly knew something not right with a story cause she was there and she mention Cloud wasnt in a hometown, Technically he was but as a regular soldier, She knew there a mixup and Tifa didnt even tell him about a real story Cesseni literally met Cloud when he was passing out due to mako poisoning, Why would she ever forget him easily when Cloud is with Zack who Cesseni been waiting for him, and not even Cesseni tell Cloud about Zack, She even reference to Zack about loving Aierth, She was a turk watching Aierth on a watchlist Three girl dont want to tell Cloud about Zack and what really happen is sad...

Can someone tell me why cissnei didn't asked cloud about zack ? Why are they stretching the story so , long man .

Im 100% on golgaga but i cant fidn the quest?

That was the most useless, dodging questions ever. She didn’t even answer them “who are you, none of your business” “what are u hiding, I know cloud” like that’s so dumb

So is this the same cissnei from crisis core who was an ex Turk? Or in this timeline is she different

Usually Kingdom Hearts rehashes Final Fantasy. Feels like they rehashed Kairi into Cissnei

These parts really annoyed me. Not just with Cissnei, but Tifa and Aerith as well. Personally, I feel they're doing more damage to Cloud and his memories than what they are helping him to resolve, by keeping him in the dark permanently. They gladly take it so far passed the point to where Cloud's memories are totally f*cked with what really happened. Not spoiling anything here for those who haven't played yet, but come Nibelheim when he *does* start to recall, Tifa keeps her trap shut and admits that his screwed up memories are correct. Real douche move. Makes me regret romancing her. In fact, it's *because* of this that I'm convinced none of them give a shit about Cloud nor him regaining his memories. This is on par with having the person you 'love' be trapped in a burning pit and instead of helping them out to save their life, you stand there and watch them burn to death because they have to 'help themselves out'. Really makes me glad they kept to the original storyline as far as Aerith's concerned, because having one deceitful b*tch is more than enough.
