This is probably my favorite moment of the game. Game: Final Fantasy VII (Final Fantasy 7, FF7, FFVII) System: Playstation (PSX) Genre: Role-playing game (RPG)
Such a powerful scene. The realisation that his dad wasn't a coward but saved everyone. Then hearing his son acknowledge this and shed tears... I'm done.
I feel like this is a unique scene too, let's think about it, how often is a character's thoughts and beliefs completely shattered by a truth that they never believed in? In this manner specifically? How many characters in these stories go their whole lives believing something that's wrong to deeply regret it when they find out the truth? How many characters are changed and shaped in a way like this? It's hard to make unique characters after our years of history on the Earth but this is actually pretty unique in addition to being the saddest scene in FFVII. I know people talk about Aerith's death all the time, but I know for most of us here, this scene hits much harder than that does.
When I was little and played the scene for the 1st time i had no idea what that was lol. I drew the conclusion that it was the Seraph Comb falling to Nanaki lol
Always has made me tear up as well... 13 when I first played this... 39 now. It gets me every time. :) I write this now as I have a tear running down my cheek!
Anyone's who's lost their father prematurely feels this scene even more. I lost my dad earlier this year and I think he gave me a sign that he's still around recently. So this scene is pretty heavy, and the music is touching. They don't make games like this anymore, only other one I can think of is Metal Gear Solid from 1998.
You have to appreciate how in the early FF games, they only broke out character voices for the feels. Kefka's laugh. Nanaki's howl. Rinoa's scream. The choir chanting Sephiroth's name.
I think this scene is the greatest in FF7 and of any game I've ever played. Nanaki is son to the great warrior Seto and chooses the same suicide mission as his father, but this time it is to help Cloud and his friends save the planet from dying. That's also why the ending is so unbelievably great. I choose to think that Cloud is a minor character and that the main protagonist is really Nanaki. That's also why I choose to have him in most every party formation. Also, "Nanaki is Nanaki."

This is one of my favourite scenes not just in FFVII, not just in the FF series, but in all of gaming! Dripping with atmosphere, great writing, perfect music, incredible character development in just a few minutes and then, Nanaki's conviction! I just can't get enough of it.

@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews Dude I'm so sorry for your loss. But you're right, they're never really gone. :) FFVII helped me out a lot, as did many other games of course but this one holds a special place in my heart.

I remember playing this when I was little, and this scene completely took me by surprise, it really moved me. It's amazing how invested you get in these characters, even though they look so unrealistic. I loved the other FF's but this is the only one that actually got emotional reactions out of me :)

WexMajor82 Playing the game for the first time right now: Aeris is just the obligatory death many FF games had. But that Scene and the Cid-flahback were so incredibly good

I'm almost 33 yr old, male, finished this game many times, sitting here in front of my PC crying like a 4 yr old girl... Exactly in the moment when Setos first tear at 2:40 was seen in the Vid, my first tear was rolling down my cheek...

I start getting teary eyed at the start of the whole scene. By the time the camera pans out and Nanaki learns the truth, I'm gone. Friends tell me the scene is sad, tragic. I don't think it is, I think it's beautiful. It marks the moment when the son becomes proud of his father, and the father becomes proud of his son. And when the drums kick in? Man, I'm crying hard!

Red XIII’s howling is the only time you hear one of the characters voices in this game. Also Seto’s tears looked like materia so I tried going back to collect them but couldn’t.

Man the music for each character is genius! Each piece of music per character is truly memorable, to include the characters themselves and their backstory.

What's really sad about this is when I think about what Nanaki's mother must have gone through after that battle with the GI... Having to bite her tongue (metaphorically speaking) and listen to her son call her mate a coward and having to keep the truth a secret must have been really tough....
No one is saying this in the comments and I want it to be heard and seen. Your father's sacrifice so much for you. That's the main reason why this scene hits so hard. Because a father is a protector through and through and he will do it even if not given the title. Nanaki finally saw that
Mine wasn't. He was a coward who ran and eventually killed himself with meth. A net gain for the world. I have a son now, though, and I'll walk through Hell for him if I have to. I know what it is to hate your father, and what it is to care more for your child than you do for yourself. This scene always gets me for that.

Literally only two video game scenes made me cry: the Raine & Laguna scene at the ending of FF8 and this masterpiece of a scene here. Square Soft were sure able to craft some magic back in the day.

this scene is so powerful, it always makes me weep every time I see it -- and I haven't played this game in a long time, but even now this scene brings me to tears
Cid and Seto's story always make me depressed. Even though fiction, they're perhaps the most accurate symbol of true sacrifice. Enlightening to think these stories may have changed some people since youth to see certain situations in one's life differently.

It's actually FF7-2, not a remake. Sephiroth sees himself get defeated in the original FF7, and is working to prevent that in the "remake". That makes it a sequel in my opinion, an echo of an already existing timeline.
The scene is so powerful. I think I really fell in love with this game at this moment. Some fathers out there are looked at in such a negative light due to rumors and misunderstandings...while trying their best to give their family a better life. Red 13 hated his father for a long time because of the stories that was told to him. That moment in Gi cave he realized Seto's love for him and his mother was beyond measure. It's so sad when the real heros die alone.

I never cried when old yeller died. I never cried when mufassa in the lion king died. I never cried anytime during the entire play through of FFX. I never cried even when Aeris died... But this scene got me for some reason. I wanted to crawl through the TV like the girl from "The Ring" just to give Nanaki a hug. I cant even imagine what this scene in the remake would be like, i hope they keep it in the game.

@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews Metal Gear was a great game. I'm still baffled how psycho mantis was able to guess the games I play by reading the memory card.
This and when Tidus finds out what really happens to Yuma after her pilgrimage is two of those heart aching story elements Nanaki All his life thought of his dad as a coward to find out he has been redeemed as the most bravest warrior and even to this day he fights off the GI as he sheds a tear finally hearing his son being honored by his lineage
I just started playing ff7, the first final fantasy game I've ever played. Just made it to this scene. Never thought I'd shed a tear over the story behind an obvious polygon, but here we are.
This was the scene my 13 year old self found saddest when this game came out. Still is, forget Aeris dying, Seto crying materia tears will always be the saddest scene.
I really hope later on in the remake, they'll make justice to this scene. It's so moving and well done. This is one of the reasons Red XIII or Nanaki will always be one of my favourite characters of the game.
Just passed this part in the game last night, after not playing this game for 20 years... Almost teared up myself when Nanaki's (Red XIII's) stone father started crying. This game is absolutely timeless.

Nanaki realizing his father was a hero😖bugenhagen talking about being old and not being around much longer 😫seto crying and nanaki howling😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭I’m a mes
This might be my first exposure to the "We are doomed to fail and will die... but let try anyway" trope This shit is the sort of stuff that keeps me going
Favorite scene in the entire game, with my favorite character in the entire game. THIS was the moment I realized why FF7 was more than just another Final Fantasy game
Probably the most emotional scene in the game for me, just behind Avalanche's fall. Sadly, I found out about Aeris' death before I played FFVII so it didn't have much of an impact on me as I saw it coming, and tried to determine when it would happen, but I know it would've been more emotional had I not known.
