sometimes when you lose people, you arent given time to recover and heal. sometimes youre forced to go back into the world and do what youre supposed to. but it never makes it easier. you have to suffer almost in silence. thats what that jenova fight is meant to be. sometimes you arent given time to heal.

Sephiroth is t-posing on Aerith to assert dominance

One of the most meaningful fights here against Jenova.. I felt like I was fighting alongside Cloud... Crazy moment I'll never forget

Making you have a Boss Battle with her theme playing was a troll like none other.😢

1:54 Always gives me chills. The way she initially feels weakened by a sudden force only to widen her eyes and notice a massive sword impaling her is such a scary attention to detail

Sephiroth down smashes a girl in stamina mode and then hits a epic t-pose.

that music...oh god.....

The fact that they botched this scene in FF7 Rebirth... I will never forgive them.

I don't know why, but I found the way Sephiroth twirled away into the air hilarious 😂

Poor cloud sephiroth kills all his friends and family...

Cid: “Dumb @$$!” 😂

Who is here after see the Rebirth end?

I cry... i will cry ......i always cry when i see this.........1997..........ps1 ff7 i remember this feeling, this soundtrack,these tears......... I will die proudly

....seven seconds till the end

Came back to watch this cause Rebirth ruined this scene.

LOL @ the pillar jump fail. OH how many times that happened to me in the game. Thanks for posting.

This scene... gave so much more intensity to the last battle between Cloud and Sephiroth. Every swing of Cloud's omnislash in Sephiroth's fucking face brought me joy and satisfaction.

I finally got to this part last night. Quite possibly the most saddest scene I've seen in a videogame. I can see why people find this really touching. I actually felt tears welling up. And I thought Crisis Core's ending was sad (When Zack get's gunned down)

Aerith is the real mpv even after her death

I’ll never forget the first time I saw this. I knew it was going to happen, but I froze watching it in real time. I felt sick after. I cried later that night.

i love you aeris

2:57 from onwards I imagine that Cloud spent the whole scene in tears, his burning eyes are indicative of that

I feel like this scene alone is what made this game the huge success that it continues to be. ❤

here after rebirth lol

Most legendary scene ever even the new one won’t compare

Why didn’t they include the part where Cloud let Aerith go to the water in Rebirth.

There is something WILD about rebirth. Not only did they eat the entire cake of showing both a party and a kill… but also we didn’t see the impact like in 1:47. But not only does it stop at the shock value, but also the emotion. CLOUD shows all the emotion there with his words. After being controlled so much beforehand on the Cetra Fortress, here he breaks from that and expresses his sorrow, making Sephiroth taunt him cause he wants to maintain dominance against the man that killed him. On Rebirth, the proof of any words is put on the classic mind manipulation filter and therefore we lose a big chunk of the reason this scene is so impactful. Anyways, multiverse is silly and actually not that complicated. Sure we are following a somewhat classic route, but the concept of multiverse is actually a slap to the lives of all characters, everyone might as well either die or live in the many versions.

This scene in the remake will send shivers down my spine, Cloud trembling is heartbreaking

all the feels

Thank you (cries_

Play Rebirth up to Chapter 13 and then switch to OG. Now that's a perfect remake :)

They really mangled this iconic scene in Rebirth, specially the dialogue. Cloud is going apeshit while Sephiroth couldn't give less of a shit, and just rambles on about his plan.

The part where Phyrra Nikos dies in RWBY reminds me of this scene. She and Aeris suffered the same fate.

Damn you Jenova!

So Sephiroth taunted him over his feelings.

This scene blew my mind. I'm not even a huge gamer anymore, but I was ALL IN for FF7 Even to the point I think I want this tattoo.

I am not ready to see Aerith getting killed by Seporiah in the remake and hearing from people saying the director of the remake is staying true to the original ff7, so that means Aerith is gonna die. I am not ready to see Cloud, Red, Barrot, Tifa, Cid, Vincent, and Cait to see Aerith death reaction and saying there final goodbyes. And I am not ready to see Aerith going underwater to her burial place.

so dark

You're not supposed to win it. That's the point of that scene. Meant to show that you're completely outmatched. Another example of a sad ending is in Shadow of the Colossus. Where the main character is sucked into this hole because he's been cursed. While you're being pulled across the temple towards this hole. They enable you to move about. Of course, that's futile as the pull is too strong. I've heard stories that people actually made it outside the temple fighting the pull of the hole.

still the best game ever

Players kept tearful with Aerith as a teddy. But part 2 and 3 original game reveals all, until cool story.

So Sephiroth just let his mother get completely destroyed lol

Square Enix just played themselves by ruining this scene because they wanted a multiverse sht on final fantasy. Now it's sht. They could've seen us crying in 4k but no, they wanted us confused in 4k.

omnislash and catastrophe come from steel I believe and wasn't sposed to be any

I'm so glad Rebirth exists.

This is still my favourite video game of all time. I don't have a PlayStation 4 so i haven't played the remake. Perhaps I'd rather not

Ah guys this already happened in the remake or not?

1:44 leeroy! Jenkins!

I guess Phoenix down wouldn't work?...

hm, i didn't realize aerith is sephiroth. like an angel losing her virginity wing to become the one-winged angel.

Phoenix down?

Cloud killed Aeris, he’s schizophrenic. Sephiroth is his alter ego. And this is why he holds so much guilt in the passing years.

i dont get it. why immediately after hoding her he doesnt attack sephirot where he stands?

if we play the part at 1:41 at 11:59:53 on new years eve, Aerith will die on new years day

It's kinda a shame to just title this with a massive spoiler for anyone who hasn't played it

aries a killer

Never liked Aerith, not that I hated her, it's just that I never found Aerith to be a great pick fo Cloud, I am a big Tifa person. Even though Aerith has a cool voice actor

Jenova was no match for Cloud, Vincent and Cids combined power of white male privilege .
