I finished the game recently and it was Legendary. People bitching about the ending just didn’t understand it. Different doesn’t mean worse. I for one had this game completely blow my expectations out of the water.
I think I understand the ending, although I have no clue what the hell is going on with Cloud, whether he is absolutely out of his mind or if there is some bizarre… yeah it is absolutely weird.
@@robreich6881what I think is happening is that Cloud is seeing the world as Sephiroth sees it, where everyone else has different versions of themselves in different timelines Sephiroth has one singular consciousness between all timelines, this is something we began to see cloud do, however throughout the game he could only do this when he falls asleep or becomes unconscious. At the end we see a timeline split, there is a unique thing that happens on the screen whenever timelines split or merge, it’s this kind of rainbow light prism effect. We see this when Biggs recalls waking up, we see this when Zack recounts surviving his last stand, we see this when Zack chooses between Shinra HQ to help cloud or the mako reactor to help Biggs, we see this when Sephiroth separates Zack and cloud in the final fight. And we see it 2 more times The first is when Cloud moves to intercept Sephiroths sword, and the second is Zacks solo battle against sephiroth, during his synergy attacks a spectral version of cloud rushes forward in that rainbow light, What I think is beginning to happen is cloud is beginning to access these multiple timelines without really even realizing it, so at the end he while being in the Aerith died timeline, sees her in a parallel timeline where he did save her. The catch is though, all those parallel timelines are doomed, every world with those cracked skies are doomed to wither away, we see the flowers around aeriths home die, we see the mako reactor empty meaning no maki so no lifestream, it’s kind of sad really because the Aerith alive in the parallel timeline would know the planet is doomed in her timeline and she just can’t bring herself to tell cloud, and she sends him off telling him she will pray to holy, fully knowing that in the timeline she exists it would amount to nothing since the dead planet will not respond to her prays, but it’s better for cloud to not know that, and not have to see her eventual death when the world she is in crumbles away. So she sends him off, knowing that the Aerith who died in his timeline, her prays will reach the planet and save the world cloud inhabits
❤ great vid, game is great in a week I managed to get 80 hours finish the story, half of the open world and get burned out so I tried original ff7 and also started playing remake on hard mode
I think thing that makes this open world special is that it's FF7's world map but to scale and fully detailed. It's not a building sized guy running around on a mostly empty map, everything is the size it probably should be and there is a LOT more detail.
I love all the story and jank, it's typical Nomura. I really liked this game but I would never give it a high rating because of the ungodly amount of FORCED boring, tedious, awful mini-games in order to progress the main story. God I hate them all.
@@ashortginger FYI, this isn’t really a spoiler but finish all the side quest / open world stuff before you go to the Gold Saucer to get the keystone to Temple of the Ancients. Or, in an absolute sense, don’t go to the Temple. The Temple locks you into endgame completely. I wish the devs didn’t do this but I understand why they force you to go to the forgotten capitol immediately after the Temple sequence.
@@ashortgingerdont listen to them. I loved the fucking game, the ending is up for interpretation and yet was definitely special. I was crying all day after finishing the game and this game is easily legendary. Form your Own opinion.
@@andreahueck6207 Bro, a lot of people feel the way I do. As a fan service quasi interesting thing, fine, but my God normal freaking people who aren’t über fans are going to be COMPLETELY confused by what the hell is happening.
