How Aerith Lost Her Mother (Sad Scene) - Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth 

Same for me, i turn 30 soon. This scene broke my heart😭

@@mattiasolsson1523 Same here...😢😭

everyone says this but you cry at everything lmfao

@@VictorVonDoomDoomhe’s right though I rarely cry from media myself but this got me good(makes me think of my mom)…Nina Tucker from FMA, Lyla Teefs and Floor from GOTG and Future Lucy from Fairy Tail are the only other times media has broke me… seriously what happened to Nina Tucker is the stuff of nightmares.

​@@VictorVonDoomDoomyeah bro men arent supposed to cry, these guys are GALS!

It was. Hojo actually taunted Aerith with this. "What a terrible tragedy, to lose the last of the pure blooded Ancients. But not entirely. Would you like to see your mother? Albeit through the lense of one of my microscopes. Did you really think we'd leave such a precious specimen to rot in the gutter? We've collected every last bit of her. Hair, skin, organs, every fragment of every bone." When i kill Hojo in part 3 i will make sure it will be brutal. I want it to be brutal.

Sadly this is hinted also in Crisis Core... that Hojo and the science department had her body...

@@mellemadswoestenburg1296I hate him! Make him pay!

​@mellemadswoestenburg1296 In the original plan for FF7 as in the OG, Aerith and Sephiroth would have been half-siblings, sharing a mother. I wouldn't be surprised if Hojo did something else to Ifalna's body before dissection... 😔 *shudders*

​@@KittyKatt_Luna80sgeez man, don't make things worse, that guy is already the root of every evil in ff7, you're making him Satan at this point...

100%. This is possibly the saddest thing I've seen in a game. I'm not emotional but this absolutley broke me. I'm also 33.

This was easily the saddest moment in the game next to seto scene. The ending was so damn confusing it really took away from the emotional aspect.

@@roguetomato3033 I didn't find it confusing, it cleared a lot of things up for me. Sephiroth explains it clearly. When you defy fate by making a choice you weren't meant to, the timelines branch off. This is how some physicists interpret our reality. These new branches of the timeline don't last, they're doomed to die (rips in the sky, worlds that accepted their fate). This is the world's merging, the reunion. The whole scene with alternate timeline Aerith and Cloud in Midgar is showing that choice is an illusion. Each time you pick something from the shop your choice is ignored and you get something different. This is also what the Zach and Biggs scenes show, but this is more about showing that you can have branches within branches, those are also doomed.

@@RyanSmith-on1hqhow do you reconcile choice being nothing but an illusion with defying fate being a possibility? If choice is an illusion then how can a person defy fate? The only thing I can think of is to say that in the end fate will still have its way. Ie, in the end there is reunion of worlds, which can also signify the erasure of possibility if the multiple worlds represent multiple possibilities. At the same time even if that’s the case, it’s not like those other worlds or choices didn’t exist. Heck in both Zack’s and Biggs case it’s not really like it was their choice to survive. Even Biggs was question why he was alive. So him dying to illustrate that choices don’t matter doesn’t really make sense because it was never his choice to live to begin with. Questions I’m left with, is Aerith dead or alive? If she’s not dead then why does everyone think she is dead besides cloud? What world or timeline is Zack in after being separated from cloud? What started the multiple time lines in the first place? What are those fish weapons exactly? Are they even weapons? How did Aerith’s white materia get depleted in the first place? (I might have just missed that one) If Aerith is dead and fate is unchangeable, then does that mean Sephiroth is fated to lose to cloud once again? Then what’s the point in any of his actions? And what is the point of defeating the whispers in part 1? Why would whispers even exist if fate was unchangeable and choice is just an illusion? Why is cloud able to see through the eyes of his otherworld self sometimes in his dreams? What is the true meaning of “rebirth” in the title? Marlene in that world where Zack appeared, seemed to be familiar with cloud, so are there two clouds in that world? The one the Zack hauled in should have never met Marlene before. Not to mention that the version of cloud she met would have gotten there prior to the sector collapsing. Zack does mention his perception of time being skewed. Is the destruction of all the other worlds caused by Sephiroth and meteor or is it something else? I don’t think they ever explicitly say this. There’s one planet and multiple “worlds” according to Sephiroth, they all return to the planet. Is there only one life stream as a source, so multiple worlds are drawing from the same life stream? Would that mean that each alternate world weakens the life stream by drawing on it? Sephiroth says that the true reunion is the reunion of worlds, then what is the cause of this reunion? Is it just natural or is something making it happen? What’s the point of fighting Sephiroth if there’s a million other sephiroths floating in between worlds? Is there a time limit on this reunion? Or was he implying that through destroying all “possibilities” or world it would naturally become one again? Why was Zack able to go into that edge of creation space? Was Sephiroth trying to kill Tifa or save her from that fish? If he needed to save her so that everything would go as it did originally, then that would mean there is a possibility of things not being the same otherwise why take action? Actually if Sephiroth really thought that his choices and actions don’t matter then why would he take action at all? He would just naturally become a god regardless of what he does.

@@daesong1378 When I say "choice is an illusion" I'm not saying the player cant make choices. You misunderstand. It's because when you make any decision the timeline splits, a branch for every version of reality that can happen. It's not that you can't make choices, it's the opposite. You make every choice, each of those decisions is now it's own branch of the timeline. These branched off timelines don't last, all are doomed to merge back into the main timeline, the timeline that's meant to happen (fate, destiny). That's why it showed Zack going to the Shinra building and to the reactor. That was 2 different timelines even though he could have only made one choice. This is what the rips in the sky are, the dying worlds. Those are timelines that deviated from destiny, from the intended path. The timeline merging is the reunion of worlds. Aerith is 100% dead.

So would I

Yeah so would I mean knocking down a child and laughing and not helping her.

​@@n0ctiz456 I second that notion

He'd go demon door on him

When Ifalna said that, it just reminded me of the experiences of those captured during WW2... Very similar ☹

😢

Me too

😢

Still does make me cry. 😭

Me too.

Y’all are insane😂

??

No kid is going to think their parent is dying first though.

@@trishahernz7809 I mean, Aerith seemed pretty aware of what was happening. Her devastation upon not finding a doctor felt a little intense for a "mommy is just sick and I couldn't find a doctor" and more in line with "I couldn't find help, is mommy going to die now?" When her mom died, she didn't even act confused, she was just sad. Seemed like she knew what was happening to me. I guess I might be interpreting the scene wrong though. Edit: Not to say I blame Aerith. Even if she didn't know better like you said, I wouldn't blame her. My point is more that it is hard to blame people for not rushing to help her when there seemed to be no sense of urgency with her request.

If Leto rejected Arrakis, there would be no Dune story

If a young child approaches adults and asks for any kind of help, 99% would help. They would at least answer the question. Shouldn't need to tell them that her mom is dying. The scene is completely unbelievable, because people wouldn't react the way these people did. Especially the people that laugh at her and call her a brat. That is so unnecessarily evil, it's actually comical.

​@@NathanMUFCfan I know right and I'm confused on why...
