I’d really like to know what the exact significance of that is. Like, did everyone get a limit break because they’re upset about Aerith’s death and Cloud didn’t because he thinks she’s still alive?
@@kodypines100%, Cloud is perceiving the timeline where she lived. That’s why he sees the fractured sky and acts like they’re leaving her in the capital without a ride home. It’s also why we didn’t see the water burial and it’ll likely be included in part 3 when Cloud accepts her death.
@@Jmerithew87 I'm starting to think its not even a separate timeline, the other world is just the lifestream and Cloud is just very delusional and seeing a ton of stuff there isn't.
@@kodypinesthe rest of the team saw what actually happened, while Cloud is jumping between two timelines (without him knowing he can do it) that's why he can only see Aerith being alive, while the rest of the team saw Aerith with blood on the floor
From the moment I saw fate couldnt be stopped and this theme started playing I was sobbing as I kicked Jenovas ass. I was crying from being trolled on Cloud Parrying Sephiroth and then timeline shifting to OG event
Dude I love how it was just like the original, where after she dies, you just beat the ever loving crap out of Jenova and like Cry Dude, throughout the whole fight I was tearing up, especially with this beautiful rendition of Aeriths theme
Bit disapointed the stabbening happened offscreen, but christ this hits hard ... i had a feeling it would, as soon as i saw one of the bosses was named "Jenova Lifeclinger" ive only played the OG Twice, but ive done enough research that i knew what it ment.
Honestly this is the only reason i keep going back to rewatch the final battle, almost replay it 77 times, easily one of best ost i've ever heard in my life
I wonder what the implications are of having Jenova's theme slowly overtake Aerith's theme until it fully transforms into it. They could have just done a transition but they basically made a version where Aerith's theme is slowly subsumed by Jenova's leitmotifs
Interesting thought. Thinking about it more, it could be the Cetra being slowly consumed by Jenova until all that's left is her leitmotif, but then at the very end is the main battle theme of the cast. I like to think it's the Cetra fighting bravely until they're decimated entirely by Jenova, only for Cloud and the lads/lasses to finish the job with their blessings thousands of years later.
@@Chibispore It's how it sounds to me as well. Can't wait for more of Jenova in the next one tbh. They really did an amazing job making her more epically space horror in Rebirth. Also really liked that they gave the Cetra extended lore.
It’s emotionally intelligent composition AND an homage to OG. We fought to just Aerith’s theme in the original, but this time it’s a much longer fight and it’s not a pushover fight (we had the water ring in OG). This time your grief moves through anger and my GOD do you really need to punch something. Even the difficulty adjusts based on the player’s state. The first phase is pretty easy because I am NOT in a state to be playing yet! But then you join cloud in the hope/delusion and start gearing up for a real fight. Because maybe this time we can save her.
Easily my favorite boss theme in the game. When Aeriths theme started playing tears instantly shot in my eyes just to get wiped away by sheer hype once JENOVAs theme kicked in and everyone used their Limit Breaks.
The most heartbreaking moment of the fight for me, was before the last phase right before Barret, Tifa, and Cloud use their limit breaks. When Tifa comes in and unleashes her punches, the weight and tone of her voice expresses so much of her. She is enranged and saddened of what has happened
Because Aerith's theme. Like the original PSX game. Storywise, the fight itself is an empty fight. It's basically Sephiroth flexing, humiliating, and asserting his dominance to you. Aerith is dead, and beating Jenova don't achieve things.
@@nurikhsan8821 it does give a reason for cloud to vent his frustrations over Aerith’s death though. I imagine he would’ve sliced JENOVA to pieces in sheer frustration
@@nurikhsan8821 this is arguably the moment when Sephiroth loses in the original game. Her prayers weren't getting through, killing Aerith is what let's her successfully call Holy at the end, stopping Meteor. And if we assume the Sephiroth with the black angel wing is indeed a future version of him, travelling back to try and alter history, this was a big moment to interfere with. I think that's why we see a black feather this go around - it prompts Cloud to look up and parry the attack. Future Sephiroth tries to stop Aerith's death and... maybe succeeds? Creates a branch reality? It's so confusing lol.
@@alastormedialShe’s still dead. Cloud is hallucinating big time. The give away is the fact that when Tifa sees her in his arms she’s covered in blood. The constant headache flashes is the game switching between what actually happened and what Cloud is seeing. At least, that’s how I interpreted it.
0:44 it was at this point, that I lost it and refelt the same level of overwhelming sadness that I did all those years ago when I played the original. Damn you, Square 😖
Start of this is so fire, you can feel the failure behind not saving aerith but then aeriths theme slips through a lil bit like its reassurance too cloud that shes still with him, then jenovas theme comes up and just got you hyped tf up, love this game
21 years ago I first witnessed Aerith’s death. 12 years old. Her theme hit me like a truck and the tears were flowing. Didn’t help I also lost my sister a month prior. Fight ended as soon as it started as Aqualung one shot my whole party and I was staring at a game over screen crying further feeling like I failed Aerith. Just finished this an hour ago. Here I sat, witnessing this scene all over with tears running down my face again at 33. This part of the song hit again and I refused to stare at a game over screen again. I would not fail a second time.
@@TimeCircleBlueong got all the emotions sephiroth told cloud to feel Seconds before, I was batting my.controller so hard no stop hitting didn't care if I was taking damage at all
Same here. But I only lasted until 0:44 when those trumpets came in roaring. I felt the exact sense of extreme sadness and anger all over again, as if I was playing OG for the first time all those years ago
@@michaelrobosa146 If you listen to the strings in the background starting around 11:29 to 11:50, there's a melody being played that's reminiscent of The Extreme's piano solo portion. It's not 1-for-1 but it's noticeable to me, at least, and wasn't a motif used in any other versions of J-E-N-O-V-A or Aerith's Theme, that I've noticed. The motif returns at 12:33 and can be heard every now and then as the song continues. Then again, I also hear a bit of Force Your Way from FFVIII in some string portions, as well (the transition starting at 17:23 and more subtletly as synth in the background starting around 21:50).
THANK GOD FOR THE RE-UPLOAD OF THE COMPLETE JENOVA LIFECLINGER THEME they really went all out with Jenova's theme in the 4th phase, and I LOVE IT THAT ELECTRIC GUITAR IS SERIOUSLY BUZZINGGGG DAMN 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Son:Dad, why my sister's name is Rosa? Me:Because your mother loves roses. Son:Thank Dad. Me:You're welcome Repost ff7 rebirth not jenova lifeclinger complete version theme. I had to make this comment, this video is literaly from other world.
Played the OG with tears as I fought Jenova and its a canon event for Rebirth. Im glad her theme was playing as we fought Jenova because the waterworks were on for me 😭😢
The segment with Aerith's Theme is like in Nier Automata when you are trying to unalive Square Enix in the final sequence while avoiding the tears, here you are fighting some Pennywise shapeshifter from outer space while avoiding the tears
i went through like 50 pots during this bossfight cuz it had so many stages, then sephiroth then you did another sephiroth then ANOTHER and another and it went on i was like 30 giga pots 20 mega 20 ether and 40 phoenix downs will be enough FAT CHANCE when it was done everyone was out of MP, i had not a single pot left, went down to 3 phoenix downs everyone was almost dead the worst round was prol when you have to dmg the wings another thing i found a little sad was that i could not rly enjoy zack as much as i wanted it was just so short to use him, i wish we had like a full chapter for him to get to play him a bit more
Words cannot explain how disappointed I was when I heard the Jenova theme on the Shinra cruise ship, but was overjoyed hearing this version. They totally saved the best for last!
@@lootship5 respectfully speaking, the choir in phase 1 of that fight sounds like a group of Oompa Loompas singing the Jenova theme imo. Glad you enjoyed it though, just doesn’t do it for me
@@x1m0n3i9 Lucky for me I saved them but I probably won't post them anymore so it's over and that's it, you can unsubscribe now because I know you will and my channel is over
Cloud and Zack went into the interdimensional space between the timelines from their timelines. Now rewatch from when Zack meets Sephiroth with this knowledge. Then Sephiroth sends Zack back into his doomed timeline, to kill him with his hands or the Meteor. But Zack managed to destroy Sephiroth Reborn and the white whispers saved him a few seconds before the impact of the Meteor that will destroy his timeline. And he is now in the Rebirth timeline (main timeline of Cloud, Barret, Tifa and the others). Zack awakens in the Sector 5 church of the main timeline. That rift that you can see in the sky is the interdimensional rift. Zack's timeline is completely dead. Now Zack is in the main.
Could you just imagine if they remade ff7 remake but without all the whisper/timeline/multiverse shit? How awesome would that game be, instead we got this uninteresting mess.
Yea but then where would you spend all of your time complaining? It's been 8 years since they decided to remake the games as a trilogy and make some changes. It is probably time to move on
