Putting a focus on how devastated Tifa is in the end was an inspired choice that they made, Cloud is off in multi-verse cuckoo land so Tifa gives us the sense of loss that originally came from Cloud in 1997. Great playthrough! Can't wait until we all get to see the conclusion.

You’re damn right. What’s even more heartbreaking is that tifa has lost her town, her dad, her best friend to this evil person. And she couldn’t save them. And it wasn’t like sephiroth deliberately killed them to get to tifa, it’s jsut that they HAPPENED to be in his way or plan. He literally didn’t think much of tifa, although the remake indicates he does consider her to be an obstacle more so (I literally want a one on one Mano e Mano moment between the two where tifa finally gets her shot at sephiroth). There is a sense of loss hanging over her. Tifa has lost a shockingly a lot of people. Cloud can’t exactly say that per se. The inspect of these losses is shown here. Tifa HAS NOT SAID. A word. She literally has shut down. When she sees cloud talking crazy she can’t even object. She sighs. What is Barrett thinking now when he turned to tifa. Could be a lot. He is shocked and concerned that cloud is…dosnt seem to care about what jsut happened…and he seems robotic. Do we leave cloud here because he is gone mentally? Should we help him? Talk to him? He looks over to tifa the one gal who kinda gets cloud and..nothing.

Yes! Cloud knows what's going on with the different worlds and is experiencing them simultaneously. That's why his limit break is empty. She trusted him saying, "Whatever happens, don't blame yourself." The black whispers let him walk thru the door cuz he had malicious puppet intent. The white & black whispers are flying everywhere cuz Cloud could epicly defy fate. I like to think he was able to overcome his jenova cells & snap out of his puppetness cuz he loves her so much.

When Aerith walked into the fight... Mandy: "...................I TOOK OFF ALL OF HER MATERIA!" I laughed out loud hard 🤣

It makes me so sad to see Tifa completely devastated… not only she lost her best friend Aerith, but she also lost her biggest source of support which is Cloud. Cloud is out of it, he doesn’t even realize Aerith is dead. And I feel like Aerith still showing up is her way of trying to keep him from completely crumbling down. Aerith is so amazing, even in death she’s still there for them. I love her; I love them all 🥺❤️ It’s so sad in so many ways 😭

Don't own a PS5 ourselves, so watching playthroughs on KZread were very much me and my sister's only way of experiencing this game. Bounced around a bit before stumbling onto yours. Glad we stuck with yours, cause it was by far one of the best playthroughs we've seen for any game. And man, what a journey this turned out to be. For taking us with you, for all the laughs and tears, for giving us something to look forward to these last few months. From the bottom of our hearts, Mandy. We thank you. Till the day we meet again.

The ending had my jaw on the floor! Aerith will always hold a special place in my heart I loved her character so much

This was great! So awesome to see others enjoy this story! Fun to talk, theorize, get hyped, and joke all at once! Thanks a lot. Hope you've had the time of your life!

I watched the Premiere a little bit behind the live stream because I wrote my exam before this. But watched most parts of this video. Congrats on beating the game Mandy. It’s clearly amazing to see how much you loved this game. It was so nice to see your entire Playthrough here on KZread. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Tifa lost two people. One is physically gone while the other is mentally gone.

Saw the rebirth trials video you posted and I felt just as sad 😢 thank you for sharing! so stoked you’re about to finish!

I’m not ready for this to be over!

I was fortunate enough to be able to enjoy this game as soon as it went on sale and I have to say that it was totally worth it, since I was able to play REMAKE I was looking forward to this second part. Something to remember and that is how I got to know you was with this saga watching reactions to previous games in the saga, then I came to her Twitch channel where I saw her enjoy and also cry with game number 16. I knew that at some point you were going to play REBIRTH and I followed every reaction to any trailer that was going to come out and by the time this adventure finally started, I wanted to relive those emotions once again and I started watching the videos. I was afraid to reach the final moments since I knew there would be a lot of crying (I also cried watching you) the language was also a limitation since I am Chilean and my language is Spanish, but that did not stop me from enjoying every second watching your videos . I really liked the message he had given in the video before this one where he implied that special connection he has with this game and with its characters and that is why the emotions he transmits at every moment is something that, like you, I feel. a lot when playing and being told that it's just a video game. I ended up becoming very fond of this saga and a large part of that is thanks to you. I know that when the third part comes out we will be attentive to see the conclusion of the trilogy. Thank you very much for making me relive every moment and feel like the first time I played it, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. (If the message is not understood it is because I used the translator so I could read it, the language barrier does not stop me from enjoying its content) Gracias a Mandersnatch es que cada día me vuelvo más fan de esta saga!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

I think the white materia is what allows cloud to see aerith. It seems like the materia shows that the world they are in can be inverted as if the world united with another. Maybe the split in the sky is not an illusion. The struggle will be if Cloud can decipher when is she real and when is it a illusion from sephiroth. Before aeriths death we see sephiroth look at clouds eyes. Usually his pupils dilate when he uses his illusion stuff on cloud. Cloud probably thought he blocked sephiroth but actually missed and saw nithing but an illusion. Clouds mind in part 3 will be horrifying. Lets pray the real cloud is shown by part 3.

Here's my hypothesis on the Zack situation: It was never an alternate timeline. Zack is dead, but the Jenova cells in his body are allowing him to cruise the lifestream in much the same way as Sephiroth. Consider what he says to Biggs: "I want to know that this world is one that I chose." Like Sephiroth, he's trying to create a new reality for himself; yet unlike Sephiroth, he's not willing to kill everyone around him to make it happen.

Congrats on finishing! Some tips whenever you tackle hard mode, highly recommended to be at max level 70. It also helps to have majority of your materia maxed out, esp MP Absorb/HP Absorb, elemental, magic efficiency, magic focus, swiftcast. Transmutting the Genji Gloves helps break the 9,999 magic damage limit.The brutal and legendary combat challenges that have Zack and Sephiroth are a major PIA and very challenging, took me forever to complete all VR challenges.

I'm amazed that you beat that final boss on your first try. It took me several tries to beat the final boss because certain attacks that Sephiroth does are so cheap. I was getting so frustrated and mad to the point of rage from losing multiple times against him especially having to sit through the annoyance of rewatching the same unskippable phase transition cutscene of Aerith showing up that i decided to look up a video guide/video guides on how to beat him. Thank goodness that the game has the "Retry from Current Phase" option. I hope part 3 of the Remake trilogy gives us the option to skip all the phase transition cutscenes.

I'm so happy you said that their spot is the playground! That was my instinct, too!

i'm 42 old man and been a fan of FF7 since day one of 1997 i dropped many tears Aerith is the queen of video games and RPG the only thing i want to be changed is Aerith fate because she is the positive energy of the team best magician , best healer and has the most wisdom she will forever be my favorite character in any FF game or video game 💔

42:28 as sephiroth revealed to cloud in the life stream right before this, all the “lingering worlds” or “altered fate worlds” are doomed to fade. All these altered timelines with “different destiny’s” all collapse back to the one true reality in which destiny does have effect. Zack is trying his hardest to preserve a timeline in which he makes it back to aerith, that’s why he’s getting tossed around so many realities, the planets destiny is trying to remove him while he’s doing his best to elude it through multiple branching timelines. We shall see if he succeeds or not in part 3

Zack for whatever reason has become aware of his doomed fate, hence his line about fate having a twisted sense of humor that he is always the punchline of, but instead of facing his “destiny” he jumps down the side of the reactor, creating more branches, he’s become so aware that he is now knowingly fracturing the timeline

No Promises Await at Journey's End

"Follow them, the yellow flowers..." Not sure why Aerith said this in Remake, but I immediately remembered the line, after Zack followed the yellow flowers, in this final chapter of Rebirth. So...is there any other time where following yellow flowers has been suggested, so far?

I'm really looking forward to your thoughts about Rebirth and its ending. Thank you so much Mandy, for sharing your playthrough with us 😊

I always felt that 7 seconds until the end was a call back to Sephiroth taking 7 seconds to land that fateful attack on Aerith and the implications from that deflection.

Such an amazing journey. I finished my play through a month ago and I still haven’t wrapped my head around the ending. For fun I’m choosing to believe that at the end, this is the most sane Cloud has been in this game and for obvious reasons, the team have feared he has completely lost it. It’d be such an interesting dynamic between the cast. Man, I’m 70/30 on preferring the teams work on new entries vs remakes but, I loved everything about the first two entries. Seeing how well the world and characters I love were expanded and fleshed out has been such a special experience.

Thank you so much Mandy! It's been an absolute pleasure enjoying this game with you! What an amazing experience. These developers really know what these games mean to people, they don't take it lightly and it shows. Looking forward to the future; # REMAKE FF8 NOW! 😄

i am looking forward to see that tomorrow!

If anyone is wondering about the last scene with Glenn and Rufus, just keep in mind Glenn was in a black robe the whole game, Rufus shot him in the back in a past game (which isn't a spoiler because they show that clip), and Jenova impersonates anyone. I think Sephiroth was jerking with Rufus to coax him into making particular decisions, of which Sephiroth seems satisfied with the decisions he made.

"Begone, your part is played." So here's a fun fact, all of cait siths predictions actually came true throughout the game, the most striking one to me was "watch your belongings, lucky colour black", and what does cloud do? Sticks the materia in the buster sword...

I’d argue cloud’s moist valued object or person to him now is his identity. More so than his love for both aerith or tifa. The identity literally breaks him. Aerith’s death in the OG Didnt. Neither did when he thought tifa died or was close to death in the the remake (2x) and the OG. But his identity caused him to act out or subconsciously make new memories.this dosnt mean cloud DOSNT CARE, he does. It’s jsut that there is a degree of self preservation/selfishness in in him. Really think on it, he may be depressed if aerith or tifa died, but he still holds onto his greatest wish-to be a soldier. He can still act all macho and tough and the Lone Ranger. Dont you worry, cloud wi lose that. Now as to how we don’t know. Cloud is in. A worse state. In the OG he had least gave a speech about finding sephiroth and accepted her death. Here? Even if cloud is correct on some theories (that aerith is alive, that what he saw in the sky is. A illusion), he has completely lost it in a way that he didn’t in the OG.

Would be interesting if every alternate world is an illusion except the one that Zack came from. Only by defeating the boss whispers was reality truly, physically changed just one and only time. The world where Zack rescued the sleeping Aerith wasn't real, but the one he visited at the end of remake, hoping to meet Aerith at the church is our world, the OG world.

"Let's go guys...and Cait Sith" MY POOR MOOGLE BABY 😂

Absolutely amazing game. I do feel the way they did Aerith's death took away from the feeling and moment of it, I mean the execution of it could have been handled better. Square told new players they don't need to play OG or know any other FF7 media and I think that was a disservice to players. Many new players felt more confused than sad at her death scene cause they don't know if she's dead or not, so that could have been done better. On top of this, they put 10 intense boss fights right after, so even if you were sad, that quickly goes away because you are stunlocked into very long prolonged boss fights. Other than these things, the game was truly incredible

This ending broke me 💛 one of the best games

The fact that you one shotted the final boss is impressive to say the least

congrats on finishing the game, im so sad it's already over

I know the moment Cloud was slipped the black materia

oh dear this scene ... 😮

On the Glenn thing: Rufus killed Glenn at some point in the past and he really is dead. Jenova/Sephiroth are making a random robed man appear as Glenn to manipulate Rufus into war against Wutai, knowing that Glenn would be able to get under his skin, which will distract him from their plans. Basically Glenn is dead and Rufus has been talking to Sephiroth the whole time, who is orchestrating the war to further his own goals

Congratulations on finally finishing the game. Suggestion to play Stellar Blade next, it’s a great game as well.

There is a theory on reddit that I feel like is the closest to what happened. Gist of the theory is all the alternate world we see are lifestreams. This is supported by what npcs in cosmo canyon and sephiroth himself says. What happened with cloud was that he touched the border between lifestream and real world and can now see into the lifestream. Aerith is in the lifestream same way she was in Advent children. Cloud is seeing her from lifestream and believing he saved her but she is dead in real world. That's why rest of the party can't see her and only nanaki senses her through lifestream and the reason behind her sad goodbye. I believe this is setting up for part 3 where we will see aerith's pov of saving the planet. How sephiroth was blocking her and how she used the lifestream to stop the meteor.

You realize that they all had limit breaks at the jenova fight except cloud, because hes the one who still thinks she’s alive

This is it boys get your hankies

I've said it before I say it again square enix is keeping us all guessing they know what's going down there's uncertainty here some say she dead some say she alive its uncertainty here square is keeping us all guessing you dont know what's gonna happen and I like it like that we won't know until we play ff7 part 3

Edit: Yes, I know most of you will want to say how and why I'm wrong below. Please don't. I just feel if Square wanted to keep things the same, there wouldn't be the changes we see. Part 1 comment, will have others when finished with video: I have said previous that I never played the OG, only parts so I can't really count that. I do know some of the story and lore though. So despite the anguish of being unable to avoid Aerith's fate, my heart tells me something is different this time. That you get to fight along side Zack, however briefly, is different. That Aerith seems to be alive yet dead, switching between them, is different. This tells me that, even if she cannot be saved necessarily in this game, those differences mean something. Even Aerith said it in the previous video: Even a future already written can be changed. She knew she would die- she's saying that too can be changed. I know from what Brianna has said that they tried to keep lines close where possible to what the original VAs said; what Aerith said there means Square has something further planned. So while it's hard to watch *that* moment, I still retain a spark of hope. Part 2: Not much I can add. Only that...if Zack and Aerith live still as we seem to see, then there's hope still. The difference in the one scene. The deflection. Things just feel different. "No reason they can't unite again." There's more we don't yet know. We'll have to wait a few more years to know. So let the flame that we'll see Aerith again, even return to the team, continue to burn. And maybe look forward to a certain scene under the Highwind. 😁

“I’m not using Cait Sith right now.” *a few moments later* *pauses game* “Cait Sith???!!!” 😂 I do think it’s another neat little piece of meta-commentary about the nature of remakes that people who have played the original game turn out to be their own worst enemy by unequipping everything of value from Aerith before the final gauntlet, but they could have been a little more insistent about equipping your whole party to make the party member shuffle extravaganza less of a chore.

Finally Sephiroth Is Over!!!!! Cloud & Aerith FINISHED THE STORY

Hello! Lore friendly person here to kinda explain whats up for those who didnt catch it like 99% of people didnt without a replay or digging deeper. The Aerith we are seeing at the end, is an Aerith from a separate timeline. That is why the Aerith who comes through the gate to assist cloud with the final battle vs sephiroth is missing the white materia in her hair - it had been used already. Sephiroth is trying to edit the timelines with his black whispers to slowly steer fate into his favor, unfortunately for our Aerith. She was never meant to die, but Sephiroths meddling made it so. Cloud in the "original" timeline saves Aerith directly resulting in meteors defeat with the white materia, but Sephiroth redirected the current clouds fate so he did not. The Aerith from the original timeline caught wind of this, hence why Sephiroth is saying "I underestimated you." As she is actively foiling his plans via a different timeline. That is also why no one but Cloud can see her - as Sephiroth and Aerith are actively altering Clouds fate, not the others. Alternatively, the Zack and Aerith we see may be from a doomed timeline where the white materia was defeated, hence Zacks comment of "save her" - as Cloud defeating Sephiroth for good would make fate work as intended, Zack dying in his timeline, and Aerith living in that timeline as well. Though this last point is just speculation from zacks comment, cant wait to see the next game!

interesting. in the church. in your video he says "you will have to give me a harder one next time" she says "oh next time?" he reply's "I mean why not" and she says " ya why not" in a video i have saved from someone else it goes "you will have to give me a harder one next time" she says "oh next time?" he says " ya next time" with a big smile on his face and she gets excited then it foes to the part "at least i know now where i stand" I wonder if this has to do with the relation ships part of the game

A little bit of context: So, Aerith is dead. However, no one else can see her, but cloud. Because he can't accept her death, so...

2:35:13 let me tell you that mean, its time for cloud to save aerith from getting stabbed, now she will continue to pray to stop the meteor

You needed to exploit elemental weaknesses during the phase with the wings lol. Remember Hell House?

​@@mandersnatchUnderstandable. That whole ending sequence was a LOT

damn...still hurts....

Just to let you know, without spoilers, the 7 seconds doesn't have to do with Aerith's death.

GG!

Confusion is the point :) They took the unreliable narrator role to a new level.

I love the story of the remake trilogy so far. I just don’t like how so much is just story dumped on the end Rather than sprinkled more throughout the main story, I still love it tho This playthrough was a Joy to watch Mandy 😊

7 seconds til the end is just Final Fantasy speak for it being ten to midnight, ie. it's nearly too late, but not quite...

2:17:15 Sephiroth falls to a knee and stops smiling. Was he actually fighting seriously? Nothing says "invincible war hero, legendary soldier" than getting trashed by a crazy person and a flower peddler.

ready for another 100+ hours on hard mode? lets go! 😇

Let's goooo!

Im not a fan of the ending personally. It should have been a moment of grieve and loss and I didnt feel any of the two, only confusion. But it doesnt take away from the overall experience. ✌️

I just beat the game. The ending has me so confused

Lol did you edit out your first attempt? There’s a cut in your video during the white flash before Zack shows up for the first Sephiroth phase, and then you said “again!?” to the end is nigh as if you’d seen it before. No shame in dying and needing multiple attempts, but editing them out and then faking your reactions as if it were your first time playing through kind of is :/ also for the wings, you need to use the elemental weakness.

maybe they will release DLC of Vincent

Shrodinger Aerith

A very beautiful adventure that you shared with us ❤. I too finished the game, more than a week ago now and since then, I don't know if I'm the only one but... is there anything that shocks yall about this ending? (during discussion with Aerith). It should be remembered that in general, Japanese works, whether in films, series or video games, the creators of their works voluntarily put details, because they consider it important to guide players to the answer of the intrigue, and that it is the formula which allows you to make a masterpiece, just like this final fantasy rebirth. But now look at aerith at 2:34:08, what do you think? I think she looks worried...worried by this cloud said: "I will stop Sephiroth, trust me." As if she wanted to answer him that in fact...well no, that he won't be able to defeat Sephiroth, as if she knew he was going to lose. And realize the time she took to respond: will you promise me? At 2:17:42: "he knows it's not over" he or I ? (aerith)? Well, I don't know, she could have said for example like "I don't know, maybe he's planning something" In the remake, in the Shinra tower towards the end of the game, in the simulation room (where they showed the story and origins of mako) cloud sees visions where tifa and barret die and the meteorite is about to crash (is this another timeline? Or their future reality?) Finally to finish the last one remake scene...Where aerith says when she observes the sky: "this sky...I don't like it" Yes, now we know that cloud saw the same sky in this ending, that aerith l seen in remake, Cloud is now between 2 worlds like Aerith was. Unless this ability is a curse? Because as Sephiroth said at 1:30:19: "just as world unite, so too do they APART" Will Cloud experience the same fate as Aerith?

Why do looks on Barrett and Tifa's faces lead me to believe that when say they trust cloud deep down they know they don't and I don't know why i'm think that but those looks didn't set right with me

This ending was so epic and heartbreaking at the same time. I cried through the final battles. Won’t be the same without Aerith- she was the heart and soul of the group.
