Wasn’t a fake out she actually got saved in one universe but then it cuts back to the original because producers weren’t going to take away the emotion from that scene. It’s like ok we are saving her this time but let’s throw in the version where she dies also so the OG fans won’t go into a fit. Also make it confusing so the OG fans don’t catch on that she actually lives this time.

@@briansilva4165 She didn't live. Cloud sees a version where see lives, but Sephiroth literally says "you'll never see the truth with those clouded eyes". Cloud also sees the rift in the sky, which the game has taught us denotes an alternate world that could've happened and is coming to an end. The rest of the party, who know Aerith died, don't see that rift. It's literally just another case of Cloud's mind rewriting events while seeing into an alternate world.

@infinitemartialist2 ай бұрын
This is an incomplete theory because I don't know the endgame, but from how I interpret this, Aerith is taking a page from Sephiroths book to dull his influence on Clouds mind. She's inserting herself in his head to make him believe he saved to her to alleviate the guilt that plagued him in the original. When you see him with everyone else afterwards, he's not even acknowledging or questioning why they're sad. His mind just can't accept she's dead. Sephiroth didn't do this because she helped fight him off at the edge of creation. His influence on Cloud is greatly diminished earlier than in the original, and I believe it's what she wanted. For what in the end, I'm not sure because hes going to find out the truth eventually, but for now, it serves her purpose.

Damn, Sephiroth killing Aerith messed Cloud's psyche up way more than in the OG. In his mind, he actually tried to stop Sephiroth. In reality, he stood there frozen and let it happen. Seeing her around and talking to him is his way of "ignoring" her death. The glitching while he's holding her shows the difference between reality and his imagination.
