Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth - Aerith Singing "No Promises to Keep" Scene - 4K PS5 2024 

Made me break tf down. No shame in it. This shit is fuckin beautiful.

@@juicemonster127 I broke down the moment Aerith did too after the song. It's like she fucking knows.

It’s Aerith. We all know.

Its so good💙😎

It flashes back the FF7 OG, the pain back then game back real quick 😢

Barret is best girl after all.

this comment made me laugh way too hard idk why

@@John-Alighieri SHe's looking so pretty in that sailor suit, huh?

🤣

I mean hey who wouldn't love Barrett more after this 🤣

This is PEEK 90’s FF

& Celes Chere right before her. (FFVII Rebirth's director's favorite FF game is 6)

Nobuo Uematsu supremacy

True story.

you'd be amazed at how well the original vocal artist can sing🎙✨

I thought it was pretty funny when I seen him passed out the play must've bored him lol

In mine he just woke up himself.

Yuffie: WAKE YO STUPID @SS UP 😂

@@joshuapeak3474No wonder Genesis love this shit. He has a bad taste.

​@joshuapeak3474 hes a legit pilot. If hes not flying or eating hes sleeping lol

Honestly man. They made the characters and the bonding too real and alive, it's just perfect even at the least.

100% masterpiece and tht bonding with the team is so beautiful and amazing

Me too man. This game...omg. best game of the year. Fuck what everyone else says.

@@kupo7790 same here I stop listening what people said

“Till the day we meet again” made me cry

Lenne too I guess

Yes! All of them extreme beauties too!

Just played the ff6 pixel remaster, and hearing Celes sing made my heart happy. I feel like Celes and Aerith would've become friends. Locke and Cloud would've probably been friends too. Terra and Nanaki. Barret and Cyan. Yuffie and Relm/Gau. Cid and Edgar. Setzer and Cait Sith. Tifa and Sabin. I could see the ff6 and ff7 cast getting along well, very similar spirits.

I feel this song still far from Celes Opera.

@@Noseface Modders made Celes be heard first. Pixel remasters took too much from old ver.

As someone who grew up in musical theatre… when you perform from the heart in front of hundreds and thousands… it isn’t reality anymore. You literally poured your life and soul out into the performance and just that split second to snap back to reality and shed those tears of beauty is the sweetest thing ever. Like *wow*

its a video game so no its not real

@@flipf615fuck off. We are complimenting this part of it because it’s actually how it is in real life.

​@@flipf615bummer

@@flipf615bet you didn’t play the game before 😏

Its messed up! I cried seeing it...

This was both beautiful and painful man. Really teared up when they appeared.

Yeah I got sent over the edge seeing them again I loved them so much in remake that just hurt but was so beautiful

Same! I was on the edge… then seeing them pushing me right over like Tifa in Gongaga.

Oh I was blubbering like a baby when I saw them. This was just so good!

Yeah she does, but not the man she loves by the looks of it.

@@sharynmorgan944 They'll reunite soon just not in Midgar

You are Omega-simp

So much that she became it…

well she become one 💀

She changed it up a little in that last note. Everybody should see Loren sing Never Enough on AGT Fantasy League last month. A masterful performance.

@@lawrenceb5236she was in a musical film called the greatest showman before she was in AGT and I was shocked she showed up at AGT despite how raw talent she is

​@@markshao9833She was on AGT Fantasy League because she had been on BGT in 2022. They drafted their most popular acts from any Got Talent show in the past. So the surprise was she had to go on BG at all. I saw dozens of watch party videos of the game awards in December just to see if anyone knew who she was when they announced her name before she sung and during the performance, and virtually no one knew who she was, or asked about her afterward.

​@@markshao9833 She's probably an invite from the producers of the show. Common practice for tv to boost ratings.

it does dude. it feels like the moment where she realizes that she must fulfill her destiny, and she's saying goodbye

Currently in a underground cavern, but I like to think he was smiling

@@burnedsmackdown4209needed him to wake up for this one

“Zack the puppy, your girlfriend is amazing.”

@@burnedsmackdown4209Wouldn’t he be with Deepground by this point?

And enjoying a Banora apple

Was looking for this comment

Leitmotif

leitmotiv, but yeah

Am I crazy or is this not Tifa’s theme in the end? 😵‍💫 I’ve played the Piano minigame too much for it not to be.

​@@hakamdeebad they're similar but Tifa's is more like... hm HM hm HM hmmm. Aerith's like hm HM HMMmmMmMm hm hm hmmmmm. Like that lol

On the contrary. This Aerith truly lived.

@@musicalsteve82no She a force ghost

In 1997 version i feel nothing when aerith death…but this rebirth version..they like make this version for memories about aerith…the feel so powerful and when she dies is like 1000 times more painful make me cry

@@musicalsteve82 What good is living like that and you can't bang with her boyfriends?

@@darknessshallfall934ho3 nope. watch it all again. hurts the head, but shes not just in his head.

And Aerith. 😢

i cried as soon as i saw them bro this song is so sad holy 🙁

wait... in remake biggs and wedge survived. but yeah in the original they all died.

​@@sieghart1824No. Biggs survived in duplicate world that was created in the ending of Remake. He is not alive in the remake world we're playing. Same as Zack.

Biggs is alive bro... At least in the rebirth timeline, wedge and Jessie is vague.. so

What was the inspiration behind No Promises to Keep? Uematsu: Since it is a ballad, I wanted to make it absolutely electrifying. I was asked to make the song so that the key phrase would play in repetition, and that’s when Harry Nilsson’s “Without You” came to mind. I took inspiration from it and decided to repeat a key phrase in the chorus. How did you feel when you first listened to “No Promises to Keep?” Uematsu: This is the first time I’ve heard this, and I’m glad she sensed exactly what we were aiming for. “No Promises to Keep” is a love song. I wanted it to exude a sweet feeling, but at the same time, evoke the complex feeling as Aerith confessed her feelings. I tried to build up the song as it climaxed, exactly as Loren described Was there anything you paid attention to when singing “No Promises to Keep”? Loren: I wanted to get to know Aerith well, and I also wanted to depict her relationship with Cloud. So, for me to channel her fragile and pure personality, I needed to change certain elements of my natural vocals to match up with her character. No Promises to Keep was inspired by, “Without you” I just listened to the version Mariah Carey sings in Tokyo and wow, you need to listen to it.

​@@vaasmontenegro3728 Yes, the scene draws inspiration from 'The Greatest Showman,' with Loren literally performing a song in an almost identical fashion in that film. However, the references for the lyrics are mentioned in that interview.

Loren Allred sang this? Jesus Christ. She just keeps on nailing these types of songs. Never enough then this...

It really did remind me a lot of “Never Enough” probably the best song from that movie

​@@cloudshines812 and you know what? The singer from Never Enough and No Promises to Keep is the same: Loren Allred ❤

Shes singing this for Cloud.

@@ErenDenizMert she's singing for Zack.

@@keithfilibeck2390 The lyrics mention her meeting with Cloud.

She is singing for cloud. Not Zack. She loves cloud more at this point and she knows what's gonna happen. She just hopes cloud will find her again after all this is over.

@@keithfilibeck2390 This song is definitively for Cloud. Check the lyrics and the interviews.

Nobuo Uematsu is my all time favorite composer the man has crazy passion for his work

I love this man and have been at the symphony concert multiple times and it's always the most magical experience ever

What about Ennio Morricone and John Williams?

You right. Two Legends, and we add Vangelis too to the list.@@thestelivali

Uematsu is to video games what John Williams is to movies.

rumor has it that devs who made this wants ff6 to be their next project

@@ecmyk7863I’d be down to play that if it turns out to be true

En efecto es cine🍷🧐

​@@CfPdh9eUnu8JjeZwkAH0aIn fact this is CINEMA 🗿🍷 En efecto esto es CINE 🗿🍷

My money says they are going to remake ffviii cause I heard a rumor they are going to remake the final fantasy games that either have the modern technology like us or more advanced then us

Care to explain?

​@@mightymondplays Vincent live cold and empty life as TURKS until he met Lucrecia.

SAME THOUGHT- GLAD to know there's someone who thought thr same😭😭😭😭

I usually taking screenshots of beautiful scenes but i put the controller down while in Aerith was singing. Absolutely beautiful song and extremely sad at the same time. This entire thing with the play was great

31. All my true connection to final fantasy lies mainly in 6. I was bawling at this last night

34 here. This is truly a masterpiece.

@@GalekC How I would love to see an official remake of the FF6 theatre scene. This entire segment in FF7 rebirth proves they could pull it off

37. It's like Sephiroth drove Masamune right through my heart.

49 year old man and same

Normally don’t reply but genuinely it was so good.

Ugh I wish I knew that lady gaga line by heart. Talented, amazing, stunning, never been done before. Something like that

Their friendship is the best

@@thecloudy_rainyboy3727which makes Aerith’s death even more painful.

I love Tifa's chest.

​@ghaida_alt5082 Tifa's fandom gotta be a social experiment at this point because there's no way... every time every freaking time when someone mentions something about Tifa's personality you will find a "anyway boobs🥵😍😩" reply or multiple of them I feel like 94% of her fandom is crusty dusty men who never touched a woman in their lifes and like Tifa's only because of her body, they don't care about her they care only about her boobs and her short skirt, 4% are women who adores how strong she is and actually enjoys her personality and only like 1% of her fandom is men who appreciate her as a character, her fandom truly ruins her character in other people's eyes, even her figurines are 80% oversexualised, same with her fanarts, many of her cosplays are also not better, I feel so sorry for normal Tifa's fans I can't imagine how tired after 27 years you people are

@@ghaida_alt5082 read the room my guy 😂

Woww, nice quote

Aerith isn't a stranger.

​@@sharynmorgan944 not the point of the quote, and she was a stranger at one point

People come and go, only their memories stays with us.

Woah, cringe. Get back to playing your video games.

ME NEITHER!!!😢😢😢

LOL SAME

i almost cry when i saw them😭

i 😢 a lot! amazing song ever made!

I cried seeing aerith getting stabbed.

lol that exact moment for me too 🤣🤣🤣

Freaking Chadley. Get him outta here!

Ardyn Izunia, is that you?

Same man

@@Orcaluv26 I haven't lived in darkness for ages... 😂

yep that's true

Even funnier is Hugh Jackman’s character, PT Barnum, is married to his childhood friend too. And he was in a love triangle with Jenny (which is not accurate in real life).

I’m very damn sure it’s the same sound effect, too.

Chadley Jump scare

They have to give everyone something

Funniest thing when the song is about cloud 😂😂

If you watch the same scene while on the date with her, the eye contact between Aerith and Cloud is extremely intense and more intimate.

⁠​⁠@@yenin7854Actually, Nojima explained that he wrote the lyrics of No Promises to Keep to represent Aerith’s feelings towards her friends than just Cloud.

​@@RealCFZYeeeesss, that's my take as well. It's a love song, yes. But a love song for all. Those who have passed, and those who are still living. The simple longing to see them again.

A reunion is about to happen.

what does that mean when we saw that title at the end of the game?

No one knows.

​@@RyanOstrowski-eh6ftits just the average Nomura cliffhanger with bait leading off the cliff. Theories are going to run rampant until the last installment and no one is gonna guess whats actually going on

@@iaxacs3801 let me ask you something is tifa going to save cloud from mako poisoning and repair his mind in the lifestream in part 3?

@@RyanOstrowski-eh6ft You're asking the wrong person I haven't played OG7. I need too, my expertise with lore comes from KH Nomura shenanigans

Jessie, Wedge and Biggs showing up also makes alot more sense now 🥲 Along with Aerith's speech at cosmo canyon. The essence of Aerith's character has always been about the planet, its people and the destiny of her carrying those burdens. She has so much love for everyone and those she cherishes ❤

He confirmed nothing. Only that his Japanese lyrics leave room for interpretation and the possibility for Aerith to sing about other people. In the end, the final song is interpreted by 99% of the people as a love song between two people, whether some people like it or not.

@aSecret89 and that's YOUR interpretation. At the end of the day, how the actual songwriter sees their OWN words will always be the canon interpretation. Ps. The man just doubled down his view on twt coz all y'all kicking up a fuss for the past day 😂

@@IXkupo Holy moly dude. You do are on every video RAGING about it. Saying "Nothing is confirmed", like please. Go and get some fresh air.

@@jinnimooin the end, it matters whats left in the final product which is the english song that everyone interpreted to be a song for Cloud, otherwise people wouldn't go spreading this "news" because they're so happy now that their fantasy couple isn't in danger anymore.

AGREED.

No spoilers pls

True

the ending has nothing to do with it

​@Kamusari92 "till the day that we meet again" its almost as if she knows and the crying right after fits perfectly into a doomed fate. Whether this is directly tied into it or not the song fits with the ending amazingly

​@@dylangarcia0407Its not about the ending shes singing about Cloud

I feel like she is singing about Zack as well. The words "Till the day when we meet again / Where or when, I wish I could say" makes me think this is about him, since she waited years for Zack to return to her. It's a pretty tragic song in either case, because regardless of who it's about, the romance is doomed in the end.

​@@jamesgravil9162 Like in the commercials for the original game: "A Love That Could Never Be."

you'll see it to be solely for cloud once you finish the game

If Aerith dies, then everyone and their mother knows who she wants to meet again and it is not Zacky boy. Sorry to say, but it’s clear Aerith is in love with Cloud. She was infatuated with Zack at some point, but she fell in love with Cloud. Cloud and Aerith are the only true star-crossed lovers of the game, they have been since 1997. Part 3 will be Cloud and Aerith meeting at their place like the lyrics says “Till the day That we meet again At our place”.

@@jamesgravil9162 zack was told by marlene he got cucked in this game bro. Lol

Same. I was quietly sobbing while my husband was trying to sleep at like 3 in the morning. Such a beautiful song and imagery.

W

Biggs 1 u mean Biggs 2 is alive and well...so stupid

in remake, biggs and wedge survived...

@@sieghart1824 trash

@@sieghart1824 if you do the protorelics in cosmo canyon it confirms wedge is dead

@@true_gamer39yeah about that… Biggs 2 he umm…. he got shot in front of Zack 🤣

She cries at the end of Tifa’s route too; I know because I had Tifa for the date and Aerith still cried.

@@HeatherSommers she cries harder though if you went with Aerith.

@@DarthPingu07 I don’t think that’s true, I’ve seen the other one and it looked the same to me. She cries at the very end of the performance and again when it’s done.

@@HeatherSommers no you're correct. I just checked 👍

@@HeatherSommers still a bit weird that Cloud gets a love song from Aerith and then snogs Tifa on a ferris wheel 🤣🤣🤣 Like bruhhh

​@Cyber7777same 💀

This Game of the Year?? nope not even close , i love FF but every Goddamn year FF franchise get Destroyed by other Game😭😭😭

Yea i think its when Tifa is the Rosa date

Tifa and Cloud only hold hands when you get her as your date but when you have the others they won't hold hands. Also Aerith always plays Princess Rosa if you got Aerith or the other members as a date.

@@kristofferjanliao2133 okay man what does that have to do with anything all i said was that them holding hands was cute

You sound kind of triggered about the CT handhold. 🤣@@kristofferjanliao2133

Me and you both 😭

Amazing been waiting so long for that moment ❤

Aerith told Cloud not to take Tifa for granted. We'll see what part 3 has in store for them

Same ❤

Not canon

Smash players memeing Cloud as a fire emblem character is now pretty valid 😅

Yeah same. I had Aerith as my princess. I smiled seeing those two hold hands while deep in the song

Wait how does this scene play out if Aerith is the princess? Like does she still stand on the sidelines with cloud?
