Choices Matter - All Chapter 14 Resolution Scenes | Final Fantasy 7 REMAKE in 4K | SPOILERS 

Yeah I got the Aerith scene loved it. The other two are good too but Aerith is the way to go.

@@KnivesNIN I got Barret's. like.. what the heck?!!

i had chills when i got the aerith scene

@@tsukitohateru humble brag I got tifa then went for Barret got tifa again...

I didn't either. I got the Tifa scene. Thought it was perfect. But, glad I watched aerith and even barret. They were both really good.

I was always a Tifa guy, but I guess this proves he’s conclusively he was all about Aerith

pololoco89 I think it shows more about how Cloud is human and can be confused about his feelings and who he loves. I don’t think we can completely say he’s only about Aerith when in Tifa’s scene, he chooses to embrace her and it’s literally like the biggest physical display of emotion Cloud has in the whole game. So Tifa is def still something special to him, but he may be conflicted on who he truly loves, which is why he wants to “have a say”

@@myrrh.g He would have gotten physical with Aerith too since he tried to reach for her hand but she wasn’t there so it couldn’t happen.

You hyped for next week?

Yeah, in the original game, it's a Cover Materia, iirc

Lol, Aerith was talking to me and I spotted it and I was like yeah yeah shut up so I can grab it. Also, didn't know about the resolution thing till seeing the game log. Feck replaying it I'll keep the scene I got. Watching this to see the other two haha.

Its a pedometer materia if you take 5000 steps with it set it will turn into AP up materia

True gamer moments

Wait what? I just got that scene and didnt see any materia. I was absorbed in their drama😅

Not be that person, but Cloud doesn't say "Do I get a say in all this" in the original dialogue. It's more Aerith reminiscing her "past", having problems accepting her fate and Cloud being like wtf is happening? why is she telling me this?

@Laura Giancotti He pretty much says the same thing in Japanese. A more direct Japanese translation would be "That's terribly one sided", although you have to understand you can't translate things literally between languages so I would say the English version does a good job getting the message across. Aerith is telling him he can't fall in love with her, but he responds that she can't decide that for him hence him saying "that's terribly one sided".

@@lieberte This thing is gonna be long...buckle up. (I just couldn't make it shorter) You can see in his face after she tells him that "he cannot fall in love with her, because it's all in his head (in English "not real")", that he's not disappointed. Let me make it clear and factual, since I'm not about that mushy nonsense and I like coherence. Cloud answers with ずいぶん一方てきたな, not meaning "it's terribly onesided", but literally meaning "-subject of the matter- have been on the other side for a long time". It's not Cloud stating his feelings, it's Cloud making a pissed face (while he grumbles at her) like he used to do also at her home when he told her "don't act like you know me"... talking to Aerith and remarking, as he did multiple times in the game, that she's still making assumptions about him, that she's still speaking for him, that's why the "one sided". In the Japanese version, his voice is not soft while saying that, not longing. It has a sort of raspiness in it, but sounds breathy, not because he's solemnly "expressing his feelings", but because he's sighing for the umpteenth time in dismissal and frustration. Plus Cloud's face isn't visible in the same way as when he said "I'm coming for you", but they instead pan behind his back. I did a bit of research about cinematography and not showing a face during a conversation, means distance and detachment...they would have shown his face, if that phrase had some implications, but they didn't and instead focused on Aerith leaving, keeping us completely in the dark about Cloud's facial expressions and mood (not a good sign). During his next sentence "I'm coming for you" instead, they clearly show his face, it's to show determination (still not romantic given the context of the situation in which they are). Obviously the localization had to make him say bs, because they don't understand anything about his character and because the translations so far are trash (even that "she's calling out to me, I can feel it", was instead something like "I hear a call" and was also confirmed by the Ultimania to be a Jenova reference, which makes me laugh when I think of all the other misinterpretations that there may be in the game, especially when they get to miss an important thing like that, but again, same old)...not that other languages do better during her resolution. Some completely twist meanings, miss the track and I'm surprised that the English version, was still pretty accurate to the original. Everything except for that line. "Do I have a say in all this?" would be a good translation, only if interpreted as "do I have a say in this conversation? (or you wanna talk to yourself some more since I don't understand what's going on here, let alone the fact that you should be at the Shinra building and why are you talking in cryptic...)". Anyway...let's say there will be a moment in which he's gonna start to like her (which is not the route I see the devs taking, since so far nothing has been hinted at and Cloud and Tifa's bond has been heavily highlighted instead), now is definitely not the moment. As of now, Cloud doesn't love her and that is not something he would say/ it's completely out of character, especially when you think he doesn't even know her much and Cloud is not your special case of love at first sight...despite a lot of people believing in that bs. The only person who could get him to let loose a bit, would be Tifa and I still doubt he would say something that cheesy (and actually it wouldn't even suit them, especially in the conditions Cloud is now). Again, to debunk this mistranslation/ misinterpretation, there's not only Tifa's resolution, that the Ultimania already stated as having romantic undertones (even the English translator of the Ultimania pointing it out), but also Barret's resolution. Now, think that all the scenes happened in 3 parts of the night. The one with Aerith in the morning before Cloud wakes up, Tifa's in the middle of the night and Barret's right after we talk to Elmyra, before going to sleep. These resolutions, despite being all unlockable in three different runs (meaning that you should play the game three times and do all that it takes to get all of them), are all canon... If we didn't have the Ultimania confirming that Tifa's resolution, is indeed romantic though...we would have a hug, that itself could, or could not have these kinds of implications. And that's when Barret's resolution comes in clutch. After Barret starts to talk about this Al "pulling the flower trick on Tifa once" and flirting with her, Cloud suddenly raises his gaze towards Barret with a frown, meaning that he's showing jealousy (if you notice there was only one time Cloud actually paid attention to what Barret was saying before he dropped that sentence, but this time, it was the only one in which Cloud had an immediate response, as if he became suddenly interested in the conversation) and waits for Barret for confirmation that Tifa refused this guy's flower (since she didn't reject Cloud's flower and he was curious if she would have accepted it from other guys other than him). His eyes still stuck on Barret, until the latter tells him that "she told him where to stick 'em"(she rejected the flowers) and you can see Cloud finally lowering his gaze in relief and then looking again at Barret with a more relaxed look saying "of course she did". Well, we basically have 2 resolutions against 1 and the latter, is a resolution that was also really difficult to translate, even for someone who can easily understand Japanese...it's all in the context. If Tifa's scene is romantic and Cloud gets jealous of her in Barret's resolution, that can just mean two things. One, the least likely, you have Cloud telling Aerith "do I have a say in all this?"(to remind you that in the Japanese version there's no punctuation, no question mark that might suggest something, it's just a straight up sentence) and expressing his so-called "feelings" for her (after she literally dropped such a weird and confusing line), while the players knows that everything that's happening is an illusion created by Aerith from the lifestream in Cloud's mind and which could also influence people's actions and words (and basically it's not reality). Or second, Cloud, given the confusing situation and her allusions to something that he couldn't possibly understand, plus finding himself in front of a girl who should not be there... after hearing her say yet another speculation about him, told her that she was assuming again and talking to herself (hence the onesided), since he wasn't understanding anything of what was going on. I opt for the second and not just most in-character version, but also the most contextualized, given the moment and given all the other resolutions.

​@@laurajanco2i I really don't see his response being angry at her. When she said he can't fall in love with her I thought his facial expression conveyed him being hurt rather than pissed. If I talk about Cloud and Aerith's relationship through the game I felt the chemistry between the two was lovely and I really didn't sense Cloud being angry at Aerith, it was more him trying to seem cool and uninterested, despite clearly falling for her. But if you think the creators are trying to convey Cloud being angry at Aerith that's fine. Everyone has their own interpretations. Toriyama also shed more light on Cloud and Aerith's dream sequence. This is from a recent interview: Q: "What were the intentions behind Aerith's lines: "You can't fall in love with me and even if you think you have, it's just your imagination"?" A: Toriyama: "Aerith herself was imprisoned at the Shinra Headquarters at this time. However, through some type of conscience, she is able to use the Lifestream to bring forth an Aerith that has memories closest to the future. Her words not only are for Cloud, but she might also be speaking to herself as well. Despite what her words request, her true heart and thoughts may be closed off." Seems pretty romantic to me.

​@@lieberte When did I say that Cloud was angry at her? I feel like you misunderstood...he wasn't. He was just stating for the fourth or fifth time, that she always makes assumptions about him. Being resigned doesn't mean being angry. He got accostumed to her saying stuff that doesn't reflect what he thinks, so it's like any other time. And his face wasn't hurt, it was rather annoyed or pissed (that is definitely a weird way to express pain). More like a brother being pissed at his little sister, but then giving up because he knows he can't stop her from being herself. Aerith from the future has a soft spot for Cloud and that's why the words are for her, as a way to convince herself to let him go, since his real feelings are with someone else and she knows that, she said that herself seconds before, but some people go like "hear no evil, see no evil". If it was romantic the Ultimania would have mentioned something about Cloud's feelings but it didn't, instead it talked about Aerith conveying a message. On the other hand, the Ultimania in Tifa's resolution was 20% about her mood and 80% about Cloud's feelings. I can't even remember what was written about Tifa, because I can only recall an entire paragraph about how Cloud was feeling. There was no "lovely" chemistry between Cloud and Aerith when he keeps sighing everything she says or does, no mutual trust or flirting at all, no moments, no gazes...everything when they were together was pure appearance, Cloud thinking about Tifa while walking around with Aerith and Aerith thinking about Zack for the entire scene in the playground. Even the developers are tired of people misinterpreting their game and that resolution scene was exactly the one which should make people say "ok, we get it, it's not real...y'all have been saying that since the OG but we never listened". But unfortunately nope...some people keep deluding themselves to no end and plug their ears to the truth, so there's no point. Especially if we talk about the cringe of the localization. Think about this...to keep the unexistent love triangle alive, the localization, had to manipulate facial expressions, take away flirting and loving lines from Cloud and Tifa that are in the Jap version and make up lines with Cloud and Aerith in the Eng dubbing that never existed in the first place. Clear examples... In the sewers when you pick Tifa and it seems like she's jealous, but in the Japanese version, she's just asking if they can trust Aerith... That "she's calling out to me I can feel it", that is actually a Jenova reference... Aerith saying "mine!" in the English version, in the train graveyard and the american SE team, making Tifa's expression look angry, while in the Japanese version Aerith didn't even say that and Tifa never had an angry expression to begin with, but was scared instead. But the top one lie, is them making Aerith say "come on, aren't you worried of what might happen in there? You have to help her", on the way to Don Corneo to save Tifa, while in the Japanese version she's best wingman and says "come on! She's important to you, isn't she? you have to help her". Noticing that when she says the word important (たいせつ-taisetsu), she uses the same word that Elmyra used to talk about her husband. Funny...I forgot the moment in which Cloud is dreaming about his mother and when she's not actually saying that he should get an "older" girlfriend, but a mature instead, without no age implication. All lies and deception...and for what? Drama? Sales? Do they think we are stupid and we won't check the actual translations? It's not 1997 anymore, there are some things called social medias. There are so many other mistranslations that I could fill an entire notebook. It's all a scam and people are just mistranslating because of either misinterpretation, complete bias, or to fuel drama. That's how big this lie is. I'm gonna end it here because these things have always bothered me and I promised myself I would get a break from all this bs they are throwing at us. So thank you for answering me, but I'll stop here.

crmlj This is my problem how Avalanche is portrayed. Even later he says he wish HQ would’ve filed him that they had an inside man kn Shinra. I’m just like “where the hell is HQ lol”

It's even sad knowing that Barret thinks Jessie is dead, like when he was talking about Jessie you can tell he felt more vulnerable

Also, the way Barret's face softens as he talks about them. Yea he may be one BAMF but he sincerely cares about his comrades too. You can feel that for him, Avalanche is fam.

crmlj **SPOILERS** turns out they are alive at the ending of the game for some bs reason

@@grogu4853 *SPOILERS* It is the result of Fate being altered so they end up in places they should not originally be. By being in the places they are in FF7Remake, they avoided their original death when the Plate fell thus instead they become injured in these new locations to a point they pass out only but the other only think Biggs and Jessie are dead because they did not check their pulse. Wedge, however, is uncertain if he lives or not because the Whispers took him away in attempt to "fix" his original Fate and have him die.

Holy Shit. Good eye.

She knows, we all know. And still I hope there will be a surprise waiting for us.

I didn't even notice that! Damn...

Sephi's everywhere

At 8:30*. It almost looked like a leaf the first time I went to recheck the scene. I mean, when you first see it most people will miss it since it's so well hidden and the image is mostly in a dark/dark green shade at that point in that exact area... Still the feather "makes sense" for canon since this was the game where sephiroth was everywhere basically... And only having one "leaf" in the entire scene... That also magically disapears behind the post... Kinda suspect if i may say so myself... But what was this scene? In Tifa and Barret scenes we saw a physical manifestation of sorts, i think... But this is one with Aerith was a dream right? I understand that the way she talks ALMOST implies that *SHE KNOWS* but it could also mean that she knows they are not meant to be together for a whooooole other reason besides her dying in OG (which we know SQ kinda threw out of the window at this point)... And that the feather could be the presence of sephiroth in Cloud's mind, which means, not an element introduced by Aerith right? I don't get the reference that "She knows." just because of the feather... @Craig Page , could you help me out with that conclusion you got?

Yeah too bad she died

@@learnyourplacetrash202 but she didnt

@@meggi8048 I meant the original

bro, i think u misunderstood, this game is only part 1, part 2 till 3 or maybe 5 will release soon

@@learnyourplacetrash202 Not in this timeline

Ah but the timeline retcons though. Aerith Lives

Yeah and i’m sorry for the ladies but Barret scene is my favorite. It show character growth for both Barret and Cloud, and it’s good to see them becoming friends.

Claire Farron They definitely treated Barrett’s as the least valuable one though, being the default one for players skipping side quests, and it shows.

Aerith's ultimate fate huh... we'll see.

There's one thing Aerith said in the sewers: *"The future's not set in stone"* Seeing as you killed those watchman of fate, and she seems to realise that she'll die - I reckon there's a chance to save her in the next part.

I think you can argue they are all "canon" in the sense that they all reveal feelings which exist regardless of whether the player sees them. Barret and Cloud become more friendly, Tifa is crushed by losing things again, Cloud has feelings for Aerith

@@whateversong3331 Except the fact that Cloud has more feelings for Tina when they were little many years ago.

Lightning XIII-2 yes, I know that but what i’m trying to point out is all can be valid.

That's not a dream. It's Aerith manifesting herself before Cloud in some way that is unexplained. A dream can't have information of things you don't know of. In the sequence, Aerith mentions that the Shinra building was her childhood home, Cloud does not know of this yet.

@@reveirg9 He says in the scene Elmyra already told him Aerith lived in the Shinra building as a child?

Stfu

They’re all canon Jesus Christ shut the fuck up

Idk it showed Tifa smiling next to Cloud so I'm gushing she was thinking about the hug and, One more thing in the Japanese version he says he thinks Aerith is calling out to him.

I think u triggered the cloti fans lol

they're all canon?? + aerith's gonna die soooooo... doesn't matter anyway

Already lost it... and the next game's gonna wreck us all... probably

Makes little sense then that she'd even bother getting so close to Cloud then. But then again, perhaps she just couldn't help herself, due to how similar he is to Zack. Even she isn't immune to her own emotions I suppose.

This. This this this. I think we could even go one step further and wonder if she’s the one from a different time line? Like maybe she’s a part of the lifestream somewhere else so she knows everything already. Everyone keeps talking about Sephiroth being a time traveler, but I really think if there’s any time travel at all, that it’s her.

@SnowCoveredKK ... I think yall are getting WAY ahead of yourselves. First off, she doesn't know all. I think she sees visions and hears things, which is obviously alluded to, but her knowledge is probably limited. Then again, I bet more will be revealed in this remake. Saying that either of them are time travelers is taking it a bit far tho. There has been absolutely nothing to suggest that either her, Sephiroth or anyone else is capable of traveling through time in any form or fashion.

Exactly nailed it. She certainly gives you that vibe.

@@skins4thewin Dude, she touches people and suddenly they know things (looking at Red XIII and Marlene). Something is UP with Aerith. I originally thought that maybe it was just her Cetra powers/being Atune with the planet, but the further into the game I got...the more she started to stand out as something else. But say what you will about the ending, its stuff like this that I love, theorizing about whats to come!!!

Now you said that I realize it. He was actually talking a lot unlike his cold demeanor

Probably has to do with his Zack memories that he inherently has a soft side for her

Cause its Zack , not Cloud

Glad he's not as emo in this remake. Gives me hope that Aerith will live this time. Especially since the whole game seems to be about changing destiny and all.

You're right, and this has nothing to do with zack. The only thing cloud remembers from zack is what his accomplishments were, since that's what zack talked to him about. I love aerith so much, and it isn't hard for characters to also love her. Even johnny seemed to

You hyped for next week?

Idk

technological and gameplay wise yes.

me too, like wtf

Nice pfp

​@@scrublord7922Not only

In the next game rebirth Aerith brings it up 😂😂

@@samanthazambezi9828yes she did they are both adorable ❤

Same

I’m a Clerith shipper but damn Tifa crying Got me hard it was so painful to hear her so sad

*IF* it happens...

Need to remember that the rest of the story is “unwritten”, who knows whats gonna happen

I'm slightly confused, generally I barely know anything about the game, so some context, please.

(SPOILER) ............Big IF there. Someone else already took that stab, which tells me things may turn out differently in this timeline or whatever it ends up being.

@@donjon5442 SPOILER End of part 1 very-very clearly tells us that remake won't have same story. I mean there is a whole chapter dedicated to defying destiny. They can't make it more obvious than that. So it is big assumption to asssume Aerith will die. If they were going to follow same story they wouldn't even get into all this stuff in the first place.

Ben Esca check on Tifa first after dons mansion is the big sway

@@TheMysticSpade yup, choose to check on her first, that's a big boost

I don’t even know how to trigger Barrett’s scene.

ayyachris the barret scene is by being uninterested in both tifs/aerith

@@TheMysticSpade I did this, still got Aerith 🤷‍♂️. I would've preferred tifas scene aeriths scene was meh af imo. How TF is she gonna tell him not to fall in love with him and then disappear.

The Impersonator they left in up to the player pretty well like they did with the original however there are characters that have better scenes then others and I prefer zack and aerith

Agree with everything. :) Tifa's an amazing gal, and I think that all the Tifa fans out there are well justified in their choice, but something about Aerith's personality always drew me more. More than anyone else, she's able to get Cloud to open up and sees him for who he really is. (By that, I mean that Cloud is fairly standoffish with just about everyone, even Tifa, clinging to his "grim, stoic SOLDIER" persona, partly because he's afraid/ashamed that nobody will like the real him, especially if they found out the truth.) But with Aerith, it's like he's free to just be himself. No facades, no illusions. You get the sense that Aerith knows about the false persona Cloud's adopted, but it doesn't matter to her. I think you could reasonably argue that Tifa loves Cloud more (especially looking at the original FFVII and everything she does for him in the later acts), but I can't help but feel that the trust and connection between Cloud and Aerith is something deeper... more pure, almost. Even with Tifa, there's this feeling of expectation to live up to that's absent when it comes to Aerith. So yes, it's an AMAZINGLY good romantic triangle SE's set up here, and I agree with you; it would be a disservice to the fandom for them to decree that one particular relationship is canon, particularly as RPGs are all about player agency. The "right choice" is the one that YOU made.

@@Zaxares What I particularly like about the love triangle in 7, besides Square respecting the player and their preferences, is that there is no typical soap opera bullshit. Aerith and Tifa are not at each others throats constantly, trying to bitch each other out. Instead, they behave far more reasonable, and occasionally are a bit standoffish.

I know i'm hoping for a lot but I really hope they don't kill of that certain character with these graphics it might actually kill ME

Fun fact: Cloud can have sex with Tifa in the original

That isn't proof it is cannon but ok

There seems to be 2 theories on that; having never played the original (I watched Crisis Core tho) I can't say which is more likely. The first is that she knows her fate and is pretty much warning against it since she knows it will only bring more pain and the other theory is that, due to his memory issues with Zack, she presumes that he 'loves' her because Zack did and that he, himself, doesn't. This is hinted at further with the line "If that's what you really want" when he says he is coming for her, hinting that maybe he does want to save her, as a friend, or maybe his memory issues make him feel devoted to saving her.

Queen Izunia She definitely knows what’s going to happen. Cloud doesn’t have a piece of Zack in him he just thinks certain things Zack did are what he did. An example of this is the fact he had no idea who Aerith was before meeting her at the start of the game. Aerith isn’t the type of person to force people to do things. It’s why she always asks things like “ if that’s what you want”. She knows certain things about the future but seems to keep quiet about it, allowing everyone to take their own path without her directing them to it

What do you mean

oh do they do a date in the original?

@@juice3287 Yes

People forget that Tifa isn't just some eco warrior but she is also a business owner and to lose everything just like that was just crushing

@@SwimmerPrince pretty sure she was devastated over all the lives lost more than her bar being crushed

NPC That would make for a great parody.

That's actually a great idea. It'd have been horrifying

best idea!! like you're doing so poorly in the game Sephiroth comes and tells you "I know why you're not even trying" and then he asks you to join his side.

Jealousyyy BOMBER

SAID IT , I'm making a fanfic right now

xZarazWracam spoiler warning. “Even if you think you have, it’s not real” I think this eludes to the fact that it’s actually the Zack part of him in his subconscious that has feelings for Aerith. When cloud gets his psyche back in the OG, his feelings for Tifa seem to become dominant.

@@idok333odikay Actually, in this scene there is a slight mistranslation in English dub (there are several in this game), apparently what she actually says in Japanese dub is "It's useless", not "It's not real". The whole scene is great because it leaves a lot of room for interpretation. There is no such thing as "Zack's psyche". Cloud is Cloud, he just lost some of his memories and "stole" Zack's identity. But since Aerith spoke Zack's name when they were on a date in the park, Cloud started to doubt wether or not his feelings are actually his (they are). One way of interpreting this scene is that there is no actual Aerith there, just Cloud talking to himself in a dream trying to figure out his feelings.

Am I the only crying almost in every Aerith's scenes? I'm dehydrated.

@@nady2711 you are not alone :')

In the very next scene Cloud also says to Elmyra that "She's calling to me" and that he can "feel her" which wouldn't make any sense with any other option.

TheCrimsonFuckr yeah, but then Tifa proceeds to say “she’s calling to all of us” so I don’t think that’s the relevant point here

@@annajankowska9916 I took Tifa's sentence as more of a "Yeah we all need to help" kind of quote.

@@zamaskowany12 This could mean nothing but if I remember correctly their was a scene when Barret was talking to Marlene it showed Tifa smiling while next to Cloud so I think they are all cannon.

About the hug

clerith's not canon wanna know what is? *death foreshadowing intensifies, timeline or no timeline* edit: (cloti isn't canon either im not saying either is better)

I think they're both supposed to be canon, unlike the love story in FF4, FF8, FF9, FF10 and FF15. However, it seems like Aerith is "closer" to canon than Tifa is.

Aeriths is good but that embrace and the music when cloud embraces her out of this world! It was bound to happen

TBH, Cloud and Jessie are my number 2 favorite pair. My number 1 will always be Cloud and Tifa.

While I do think Jessie was great, I doubt she was ACTUALLY interested in having a deep romantic connection with Cloud. Wedge stated that she just kinda flirts for fun. And I bet if Jessie found out Tifa or Aerith liked Cloud she would most likely stop the flirting immediately because it doesn’t really matter to her that much, that’s why I love her LOL

@@melioras_pheonoraptor8936 Lol that's an awful lot of assumptions to base liking someone on tho.

Philip Mack Yes!

Yes!!!!! Someone said it!!! Very well said

Literal representation huh? She wanted him with an older mature woman. Aerith is only a year older than Cloud and recklessly throws herself in danger. How is that mature?

@@butt5ful Aerith is pretty mature for her age, far more than Tifa being reckless has nothing to do with it, besides Tifa is even more reckless and she lacks conviction, heck this remake made aerith look more badass than tifa, who would have tough? Specially considering the fact that Tifa is a melee fighter, you would have expected the opposite.

@@butt5ful So does....Tifa and Jessie. Like...what?

@@raulrojas9253 Tifa was made to be a more passive entity in the beginning and she was forced into the Reactor 5 explosion. Then she became more aggressive. Tifa is more mature and kind, while Aerith is a pseudo-tomboy with a penchant for violence.(She tried to kill Leslie)

@Silvana Sanchez Just so you know I support Cloud+Tifa Aerith healed the planet Tifa healed clouds mind Tifa has rights. Even though she and aerith lied to him.

Barret: avoid ALL side quests and that's it, you can do whatever you want with the flowers or the drink at the bar or the sewer choice. Tifa: do all side quests from chapter 3 and accept her drink. In the sewers, help her first rather than Aerith. To boost this, avoid the side quests of chapter 8 Tbh, all scenes have their own charm. Barret is finally accepting Cloud as a pal and neither of them is talking back aggressively to the other; on the contrary, Cloud is practically speaking with him in a much more friendly manner. Bromance for the win Tifa's scene is the point of break that everyone needed. It's her catharsis the most natural reaction to those events and watching Cloud comforting her instead of not giving a damn makes more believable their bond.

I also did this! Works

kulidrikke o think it’s that chapter 10 decision that makes this then as I also did those things.

He said cloud clapping some cheeks LMAOOOOOOOO

Yes. I think so

It's just a dream he isn't really talking to aerith so i guess it just means Cloud knows his feelings aren't real deep down. Like in his subsconcious or something

@@samuelmercier2737 Even Aerith didn't know about Cloud's dream or gets some predicts in her mind althought she's an Cetra. But i like to think Nomura wanna make the matter into the light than they did in the past, hiddens some shit to make fans choice, let them war each other.

I think that's somewhat implied even in the OG. At one point, she does admit that she was looking at him and seeing Zack, so she started looking for the ways that they were different. So she could one day meet "the real Cloud."

Happens in the OG as well. On the Gold Saucer date with her, she says she wants to meet the "real" Cloud and talks about how similar Cloud is to Zack.

You can still do all of them and get Tifa and Aerith. There is a tie breaker where you choose which one of them you go to first in the sewers. Unfortunately Barrets requires you put in almost no effort.

milkyway barret is the no simping route

Do them in order. First no side quest - Barret. Then clean game til Chapter 10. Make 1 choice, go get that scene, then make another choice, go get that scene. Still, even like this, you have to put in the time.

I think in Aerith's scene, she just showed the future she could see it and show it to Cloud. I think out of the game, this is a Nomura's trick, to make it clearly for the triangles Cloud x Tifa x Aerith, almost from fanfictions, fans choice. To Tifa, maybe it's a sign for the future of them of this FF7 Remake, looks like it's not based almost in the original because if it's, Aerith was died in the ending of this chapter. But she wasn't, so i will not be surprise if Zack's still alive in the next chapter. And maybe both of them will dies together by Sephiroth, i tho. Just remember, this Remake is a new plot.

And then Barrett is just a bro

I heard the real Cloud came out for like 30 seconds to hug Tifa, One more thing he wanted to comfort her since Chapter 13 but didn't know how until he saw Barret do it.

Well if the original game, when you got to Gold Saucer, you could go on a date, with all the girls (Tifa,Aerith or Yuffie) or Barret depending on choices you made throughout the game. I guess this a early version of that. And i hope they keep this in the sequel when you get to Gold Saucer.

She was most likely lying to stop him from going after her, the pained look after she says that, how she quickly turn away and how she reacts to Cloud saying he is going for her pretty much proves that she said that to stop him from falling for her.

@@Zero-fx8pc I think it was clearly a direct reference to Clouds fucked up mind after everything that happened with Zack.

Bruh, u right!!

But Tifa is the one i want too

@@La-hora-del-terror I see. Pls tell your Rinoa too, bro.

@@anthonylee907 true she is my 100% perfect type of woman but Tifa has some things that i love in a woman

...and Barret is the one you wish you had.

Seems to be canon

@@ReadMyNameThanks I just trust Square that they figure it out. I would love to end with Tifa for example...I wish there would be a way

There is no canon relationship in FF7 as it all depends on the players interpretation.

@@videogamersEU Actually Cloud ended up with her in Advent Children. I always was thinking that There is no canon, that's why those choices exist. It's a gamer interpretation. Personaly I choose tifa too

videogamers.eu tifa and cloud have huge roles to play together through out the chapters to come in the next game she helps cloud get his memories back cause this whole game was zacks memories in terms of aerith only the moments with tifa was cloud really cloud it seems

I think is because he is hugging her to tight but you could be right since when they where in the sewers Tifa suspects that there is something going on with Aerith and during Tifa’s resolution she finds out that the flower he gave her came from Aerith basically confirming what she initially thought, she is sad because Cloud opens more to Aerith than her.

@@Zero-fx8pc True. In full honesty, it probably ties back to Tifa's themes of inadequacy, anxiety, and guilt. Tifa has a huge guilt complex -- alongside Barret and Cloud -- but unlike either of the original trio she deals with heavy bouts of anxiety and, perhaps more importantly, inadequacy. This is a pretty noticeable theme in the original FF7 -- failing to stop Sephiroth at Nibelheim, failing to help Cloud at the Northern Crater, failing to stop the plate from falling, &c. -- but I'd argue it's even more prevalent in FF7R solely due to how she reacts with Cloud (seemingly) favoring Aerith. For instance, when she grabs Cloud's arm after Aerith grabs him. She feels possessive of Cloud, tying back into those themes of inadequacy; I like to think that she's thinking of herself too inadequate to be back with the boy she loves because, from her point of view, he favors Aerith. Does he? It's hard to say; FF7R Cloud isn't exactly the same person as Original Cloud. I personally like to think that it's just (HEAVY SPOILERS FOR THE ORIGINAL FF7) Zack's personality seeping into Cloud's. When they were in Hojo's tubes I don't see why Zack wouldn't tell Cloud stories about the awesome flower girl he met in Midgar and why that wouldn't influence Cloud's subconscious on Aerith later on. --Even if I think Cloud and Tifa totally get together in the end.--

@@piyo744 It’s not like that at all, Zack has nothing to do with Cloud being like this way since he never told him anything about Aerith in the original game neither is evidence of him telling Cloud about Aerith in this game (CC he only tells him something along the lines of I have to return to someone or something like that I can’t remember exactly), Cloud even in the Og favors Aerith as shown that Aerith starts with the most affection points (50) followed by Tifa (30). Spoilers: Cloud is someone who was never welcomed into a group we see this in the flashbacks where Tifa restores his memories, he was never part of Tifa group of friends and he used the “I don’t care because I am better than them” thing as a defense mechanism, Aerith just meeting him and being nice to him was something he never experienced (even if she acted this way because he reminded her of Zack doesn’t really change things since Cloud doesn’t know) when you think about it this girl that he just meet and gave him the attention he always desperately wanted (something that Tifa didn’t do when they where kids) no wonder why he feels like this towards her and favor her over Tifa who favored other kids instead of Cloud when they where kids.

@@Zero-fx8pc That's also a possibility. I could see it being both. Cloud craves affection, after all; Lord knows he needs it. It's one of the many things he shares with Sephiroth.

for real like brother died trying to get back to her so I ain't going there.

To our boi Zack.

@@keithwinslee7889 its one thing to pretend to be a soldier first class... but to fall in love with her thats disrespecting the bro code.
