well the dude is made with super cells (jenova cells) that can regen fast, etc. The wound does take its toll however, as in final fantasy 7 when you find sephiroth's body encased in mako at the crater it's missing its lower half (no legs).

You know Clouds body rejected Mako hence he was never deemed fit for soldier at this point, only after the events he was injected with Jenova cell's and gained strong traits, he managed to lift Sephiroth with pure will something Sephiroth never had at that point. Put it this way you would be angry and the shear adrenaline boost would course through your veins so that could possibly helped over come the odds and this is what may have happened and how Cloud managed to toss Sephiroth off the edge

And then plank over stairs.

DarkGuitarKid FF7 Remake will

No HD cutscene, not the good music. But still enjoyable. They better not fuck up this moment in the remake.

@@charliecho5392 ?

You can have it in Last Order 😉

Max555 lol.

for Sephiroth it's just a flesh wound

Isn't Barret 35? That would mean Cloud was conceived when he was 13 or 14. Not impossible, but ...

The Shining Tarantula Gamers sounds like when I would fool around in the tub after the water is drained

Hd sound lol

vc180191 Cloud would have been in SOLDIER he passed all the physical requirements, but he failed the psychological ones.

Xenosoul Yes. Because Sephiroth shows you have to be psychologically sound to be in SOLDIER.

TheDumbRock In his defence, Sephiroth was a relatively decent and sane guy until the Nibelheim Incident and what he discovered down in the basement broke him. (calm, didn't take offence at accidental disrespect, was mindful of his subordinates health, was willing to go against orders to do the right thing and had a strangely cynical sense of humour, nothing in Crisis Core indicated he had problems early on except how unnerved he was the first time he and Zack found one of Genesis's places and saw the machines there)

It's because Cloud is supposed to be someone that has the potential to have great strength and endurance when he has the drive to see things through, but was held back because of how little he thought of himself all those years ago. The whole adventure in the original game is him unwittingly gaining that determination and realizing his potential, climaxing with him utterly owning Sephiroth in that weird mindscape he was pulled into. Then Advent Children gives him alien cancer and undoes everything...

vc180191 there are fan theories that have been floating around for decades about this scene. One in particular I always found intriguing was the idea that Cloud had some natural superhuman abilities from birth...this being because Cloud was the planets "plan A" to stopping Jenova and the future calamity. But, when Cloud was fused with Jenovas cells and went mental this plan failed...and the Weapons became the planets more intensive strategy. Cloud was more of a passive plan that failed but then actually worked in the end.

Aerith didn’t live through being stabbed in the chest though

I’m laughing so hard at this, like Sephiroth could easily let go and all but he just went like “MASAKA” and let him do whatever LMAO

He was frozen up by his Sheer will A goddamn nobody with no Mako or anything managed to lift Sephiroth up after being stabbed fatally He felt fear for the first time

Hubris

yeah it was

Kinda... yeah...

I was thinking the same.

Chalk it up to improper graphics.

In the original game, when you see Sephiroth in the Northern Crater in the materia crystal, he doesn't have a lower half.

TigerTabCat1 that was when he fell... in the og game it showed him walking before he fell in the mako reactor as well

UjihaZerox Theres actually an anime of this scene sonewhere, but I forgot the name of the anime.

@@Maverick.D. Final Fantasy 7 Last Order

Hey its door-kun ^-^

sup? lol

As of X8 btw

Ivan Stanušić exactly what I was about to comment! 😂

But... well he did

Fucked up how?

SCIENCE!!! LOL

I'm leaning towards battle fatigue, due to Sephiroth's strength and skill as a fighter and swordsman. Also, I prefer Zack as well.

The entire Niebelhim incident was always Cloud's moment since FF7. Sephiroth the man who he admired and always looked up to had turned evil, destroyed his home town, hurt Zack and Tifa, and he saw him kill his own mother. Zack couldn't defeat Sephiroth because he was superior in every way. The same applied to Cloud but his will, determination and hate for Sephiroth allowed him to overcome that major obstacle and kill Sephiroth. Cloud always overcomes obstacles that are above him because of his will and determination. And thats what his character stands for and why "Limits are meant to be broken" is his catch phrase. Because his character is about breaking ones limits.

Giving some of the glory to Zack would be fanfic-y and overindulgent, going against how things turned out in the original game. CC already undid his pitiful demise and made it some grand, over the top, heroic sacrifice (which is really screwed up, given how the whole theme of the original title was the fragility of life and how quickly it could end unceremoniously). Pushing it and actually trying to put the spotlight on Zack in what is one of Cloud's biggest moments in the original game would be going waaaaaaaaaaaay overboard.

While I do agree with the others that this is Cloud's time to shine, this game doesn't show wounds or blood. For all we know, during the battle, Zack could've been cut up very badly and had been disoriented from blood loss. That could be the explanation you're looking for.

too many octaslash and canonly speaking Materia use fatigues one's mind and body by using pure mako to create what we know for magic there

it is no secret jenova cells grant a massive healing factor. It is flat out stated that is why vincent doesn't die from having chaos inside him.

Interestingly enough there isn't. Although I guess it doesn't really make sense to "give it back" when you stab someone with a huge sword.

Think he was referring to the original where Cloud goes "My mother... my hometown... Tifa... give them back!" And halfway cleaves Sephiroth through the midsection.
