Ff7 Revelation Sorrow and Sephiroth

Growing up, everyone was deeply saddened by the incident in the forgotten capital.
Another moment that had a deep emotional impact on me at least was seeing, in the crater, the almighty Sephiroth, shirtless, standing their vulnerable and deeply wounded by the buster sword—cut down by his little brother and former admirer, strife.
It’s something quite carthartic and sorrowful about seeing someone with such a strong will that hurt and defeated notwithstanding what he has done to others throughout the story.

FF7 Remake Soundtrack

I am currently on chapter 16, and I have to say, the soundtrack for Remake is absolutely amazing. I know the original is praised for its music and all, but I am floored at how well they redid it for Remake. And not just one or two tracks either, the entire thing is gold. Hearing it sound this way really brings forth a nostalgic feeling of when I played the original for the first time as a teen. Uematsu really outdid himself once again.

I am going to miss this game when I get the 100% (Need tips for Aerith)

This game guys...it' something else ! Once you get used to the fighting system, it just starts to click ! However, I really need help with Aerith..

I see that her magic damage output is really good but she's squeeshy so I always try to position her away from the ennemies but they always end up on her and not cloud. How do I optimize her so she doesnt die every 2mins ?

From the perspective of the average Midgar citizen, Avalance decisively defeated Shinra in less than a week. Decisively.

After starting Rebirth, I need to update my previous topic (https://www.reddit.com/r/FFVIIRemake/comments/1unqwhb/from_the_perspective_of_the_average_midgar/) to add that, according to the first two minutes of Rebirth (which I'm not considering a spoiler here, 'cause it's, well, literally within the first two minutes of Rebirth), the public also believe Avalanche was responsible for the tornado that destroyed Sectors 0, 1, and 2. And remember that Sector 0 is the Shinra Building itself. So, according to what Shinra wants the people to believe, Avalanche can control the weather and destroy reactors and drop plates at will. They have assassinated the president, wiped out more than half the city, and leveled the capital building. And they did all this in less than a week.

I don't see how the population can make any conclusion other than that Avalanche decisively won this war. Decisively**.** The people would be begging for Shinra to surrender to Wutai at this point. There's no way this PR campaign could ever possibly work. Shinra is hopelessly outmatched and has no chance at victory. At the rate they're going, Shinra will be utterly and totally destroyed within another week, at most.

The Shinra employee 3D battle is basically just luck, right?

You can’t even tell if he’s going to throw a left or right punch let alone what kind.

Should I play Rebirth next or go back and play the original first? (Already know two major spoilers)

I know this question gets asked all the time, and I've read a lot of the existing threads, but I feel like my situation is a bit different, so I'd love some advice specific to it.

I just finished FF7 Remake and absolutely loved it. It's honestly become one of my favourite games ever.

The problem is... I had absolutely no idea what was going on in the ending, which has made me second guess whether I should go on and play rebirth as I fear I won't understand what is happening.

Now I'm trying to decide whether to just jump straight into Rebirth anyway or go back and play the original FF7 first.

The issue is that I already know two of the biggest spoilers from the original: That Aerith dies and that Cloud wasn't actually a SOLDIER.

So I feel like I'm stuck in a weird middle ground. If I play rebirth, those huge reveals won't surprise me as much as a completely blind player. But I also won't have the context of the original, so I won't fully understand what is being changed

It almost feels like I'm getting the worst of both worlds. I know enough to lose some of the surprise, but not enough to fully appreciate the changes that Rebirth could make considering the ending of remake essentially sets them up to change things that happened in the original story from what I understand.

Another thing making this decision difficult is that I think I'd definitely prefer Rebirth's gameplay. I absolutely loved Remake's combat, presentation, and modern gameplay, so it's hard to put that on hold to play a much older game first, even though I know the original is considered a classic. However, my favourite part about the remake was the story so if playing the original is necessary to enjoy Rebirth's story then I think I would play it.

Without spoiling anything beyond what I've already mentioned, what would you recommend? Is Rebirth still a great experience for someone in my position, or is it worth playing the original first to get the full context?

I'd really appreciate spoiler-free advice from people who've played both.

So Close...So Close...

So there I am, playing FF7 Remake. My 10 year old son walks by

Son: woah...what are you playing?

Me: Final Fantasy 7 Remake

Son: dude... This looks so cool. That's the most beautiful animation I have ever seen

Me: ya it's pretty awesome (trying to keep it casual). Do you... Wanna play?

Son: Ya!

Me: Sweet, let me finish this spot and I'll get you set up

I just walked into a fight that I needed to finish before I could turn it off.

Son: oh... This looks kinda hard. No worries dad I'll play when I'm older

Me: no no no it's cool, there's an easy mode I'll get you set up!

Son: it's okay dad, I don't want to play

Been sad all day over this ha ha one day he'll play I'm sure, but I felt like an awesome father son moment just slipped through my fingers

Need Help! Why am I having graphical issues with Rebirth on PC?

Pretty much what I have been getting today is several textures being warped/not loading properly, along with overbright glow/bloom bleeding and weird lighting flickers. I don't remember any of this happening yesterday; however, I really only made it through Chapter 1 and had just started playing last night.

I feel like I've tried everything at this point and nothing I've done has fixed any of these issues...

My PC components are as follows.

CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor

Motherboard - MSI B450 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard

GPU - NVIDIA Founders Edition GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB Video Card

I have changed the graphics settings both in-game and in the Nvidia app several times already (Nvidia keeps recommending the highest settings for "optimization"), but nothing works.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why is FF7 remake not opening on PC?

it won't open no matter what i do , here are my specs:

Nvidia Geforce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU

16 GB ram

13th Gen Intel Core i5-13420H

This isn't making any sense why it won't work. It could run fine on my PC which specs were about 5 years older than my current one so i don't understand why its not working. i tried updating my drivers but theyre already up to date, i tried the -dx11 and 12 method and that didn't work. i dont know what else im supposed to do

job application

Here are some of my skills:

  1. I can run on all fours. I'm faster than a car when I do.
  2. Some people say I look like a really comfortable footstool.
  3. I can act like a cat or a dog. I do a really good impression of both.

FF Newcomer

Hello!

I’ve never played a Final Fantasy game before, but recently got a Switch 2 and saw that FF7 Remake Integrade is on a significant sale.

I’m definitely interested, but wanted to check to see if someone who is a newcomer to the gameplay style in FF, would enjoy the game.

I have played RPGs and plenty of action adventure games before!

Thoughts?

Understanding The Divisive/Controversial Nature of Rebirth's Ending

Hi all, I just finished my third playthrough of rebirth yesterday and with the knowledge fresh in my mind, I wanted to make sense of it in the most concise way that I can. I love getting to talk about these games but I'm sorry if it comes off like I'm spamming the sub.

From what I've gathered and taken time to understand: Cloud clashed with Sephiroth/Jenova which caused two worlds to collide, Aerith still dies while Cloud is stuck seeing two worlds at once, the party fights Jenova lifeclinger, enormous boss rush ensues, the party is then left with Aerith being dead meanwhile Cloud is seeing two worlds at once and acting unreasonably at ease while still having the black materia.

The Cool Stuff:

Gameplay & Music – The actual fights themselves in the boss rush are pretty fun, have a great sense of scale. Very great to interact with and can feel pretty challenging. Great job also keeping Aerith's theme still playing in the background of Jenova's first phase.

Black materia – The black materia still being in Cloud's possession after all this and needing to hide it is a neat change that doesn't require story events to be changed around too much. It'll make for some added drama next time which I'm looking forward to.

Anticipation – The fact the writers managed to form a way that made everyone truly wonder what would happen in an otherwise set-in-stone moment. Even now, it's pretty awesome to think what could happen two years on from rebirth's release. Aerith as a character alone has been exceptional too so losing her still feels bad.

The Weird Stuff:

Confusion & Perhaps Too Much Cinematic Scale Over Sadness – I can empathise with the people who don't like it as the whole segment goes for confusion instead of letting Aerith's death scene breathe. If the confusion element pays off in revelation with showing everything that truly happened, then fair enough.

Zack – This character feels like he's made out to be a big deal but I personally don't feel much towards him. Nothing against his character in general or people who like him, he just seems to kinda be there and that's it.

Personal Feelings or Gripes:

Personally, I think something this ending falls flat on for me is that the insane boss rush overshadows Aerith's death. I think one big battle with Jenova lifeclinger would've been really good and possibly some whisper amalgamation of Sephiroth would've been fine. Just those two alone would've been fine. I think the ending overall is just fine but not necessarily something I'm majorly against or love entirely.

A SMALL/SUBTLE BUT COOL THING I'D CHANGE: Also is it just me or would it have been amazing to have the party have more enraged, emotional and vengeful voice lines throughout the Jenova lifeclinger fight over the top of their normal attacks? Similar to how Barret's change in his fight with Dyne. It feels a little odd seeing hearing the characters verbally treating Jenova lifeclinger like any other big boss fight or at least that's how I see it.

Wife playing for first time.

Guys my wife is playing for the first time, she insisted she wanted this to be her first final fantasy after enjoying expedition 33, and I couldn't be more excited to share my favorite game with her.

That's all just needed folks to brag to.

Could Square Enix continue Cloud’s story after FF7 Revelation?

Hi everyone!

Three days ago I finished my very first Final Fantasy game ever, which was the original Final Fantasy VII. I honestly didn’t expect to love it as much as I did. I’ve played a lot of games over the years, and FF7 OG easily became one of the best games I’ve ever played.

Today I also finished Crisis Core (the original PSP version), and tonight I’m finally going to start FF7 Remake. I’ve actually owned it for about half a year but wanted to play the OG first. I also ordered Rebirth, which should arrive tomorrow.

Before I get into the Remake trilogy, I have a question. Please don’t spoil anything from Remake or Rebirth.

Do you think we’ll ever get another Final Fantasy game with Cloud and the rest of the FF7 cast as the main characters again after the Remake trilogy is over?

The reason I’m asking is because I saw a post on Twitter where someone said they don’t think Final Fantasy VII Revelation will be the end of the FF7 story. In the comments, someone said they think Square Enix could eventually turn Advent Children into a game, or maybe even include parts of its story in Revelation.

Someone else also said they believe the ending of the original FF7 might happen much earlier in Revelation, leaving plenty of room for brand-new story content afterward.

Since I’ve only played FF7 OG and Crisis Core so far, I have no idea whether any of those theories are realistic. I’ll be starting Remake tonight, so I’m trying to avoid any spoilers.

What do you all think? Do you think Revelation will be the final chapter of Cloud’s story, or do you think Square Enix might make another game with Cloud and the rest of the cast as the main characters sometime in the future?

Again, please don’t spoil anything from Remake or Rebirth. I’m only looking for your thoughts and predictions
