stories from the childhoods of various ff7 characters heiress or aerith a common misconception surrounding the character of aerith and her name it was aerith erisu in the original japanese game but

english s noise leading to the mistake her name has since been changed back to aerith in kingdom hearts advent children crisis core and ff7 remake ps3 tech demo this was the remake of the final

who takes cloud on a date during the player's second plot related visit to gold saucer in secret date the night's date is chosen based upon the player's dialogue choices and actions throughout the game up to that point depending on the player's choices cloud may go on a date with aerith tifa yuffie or even barrett aerith apparition when returning to midgar after cloud strife rejoins the party after the events in mediel aerith comes into view on the flower bed she flickers and disappears when the player moves across a certain spot on the ground or attempts to leave the church lucky sevens this refers to the special easter egg status and ff7 it occurs when a unit's hp lands on exactly 7777 causing an in-battle message to say all lucky sevens when it happens to a player character they will barrage all enemies uncontrollably with each of the 64 hits doing 7777 damage and the character's name flashing in the battle menu afterward all subsequent attacks will hit for 77 damage until the character's hp changes after the battle the character's hp falls to 1 so that effect cannot happen indefinitely rude avoids tifa in a scene about halfway through the game it is revealed that rude has a crush on tifa he is scripted to not attack her during his boss battles unless she is the only party member still active this is seen again during the attack on the sector 7 pillar in ff7 remake he steers the helicopter out of the way when reno tries to open fire on both tifa and cloud claiming his hand slipped and during any of the encounters he will not harm tifa or aerith losing the mini-game at fort condor if the player loses the condor war mini-game in fort condor they will be able to fight the boss cmd.grand horn losing to this boss in battle does not prompt a game over the party will be brought back to the field and the player may continue playing however they will permanently lose access to fort condor by doing this vincent and yuffie during the final cgi cutscene during this cutscene vincent and yuffie are nowhere to be seen regardless if they are in the party or not the opening cut scene of durge of cerberus explains why vincent and yuffie weren't present in the final cut scene they were both in midgar helping evacuate the city at the time of the final battle with sephiroth red submarine late into the game's story while on the search for the huge materia the party will find it's being transported by a red submarine and then engage it into an underwater battle if the player's submarine gets destroyed cloud and the party are saved by mr dolphin and wash ashore close to junin the player loses the submarine they had but they can get another one by going to junan and taking the entryway previously guarded by a dog to the junin submarine dock this is the only way for the player to get another red submarine kefka's laugh in golden saucer if the player talks to the jack-o'-lantern in the spooky ghost hotel at the golden saucer you will hear a slowed down version of kefka's laugh from final fantasy 6. [Music] cloud sings the xeno gears theme song if the player tries to talk to cloud during this section of the game where he is recovering in medial they will be met with incoherent ramblings however there is a chance for cloud to let out some unique dialogue of him saying a billion mirror fragments small light taken angels singing voices xeno gear this is the theme song of another square enix game xeno gears [Music] the maiden who travels the planet this is a novel that relates to the events occurring to the live stream from aerith's point of view since the time of her death up to the ending of ff7 it is divided into seven chapters and has her meeting the spirits of jesse biggs and wedge dyne president shinra professor hojo and zack the novel ends with aerith commanding the spirits in the live stream to emerge and help holy push back and destroy meteor helping to save the planet are we on earth or gaza although the planet on which the game takes place is never named nor does it resemble earth's world map in any way the planet is actually meant to be the earth though it is mentioned in the morning view that the planet's actual name is gaza this can be seen in safer sephiroth's attack where he destroys planets such as pluto and jupiter and eventually blows up the sun the explosion reaches earth and attacks the party other than this there is nothing to support the argument that the game is set on earth vincent mug glitch whenever vincent uses mug the next attack animation is skipped be it the enemies attack or the player parties the damage is still calculated as normal even if no damage appears the glitch has been exploited for competitive speed runs but can be useful for casual players to alleviate tdm as well for example it allows the player to skip long summon animations this glitch can also skip boss death and post fight scenes ff7 for the nes the game received a d make for the nes made by the chinese company shenzhen ninjin technology it was released in 2005 and covers the entirety of the story of ff7 but does not include many of the side content it received very mixed reviews as many praised it for being able to cover the entire story of ff7 while many others complained the game was too difficult and had various balancing problems red man in coral prison players found that in the coral prison there is a unique red man directly underneath the chest texture it is unknown what purpose this man serves many have speculated that this is some form of signature left behind by an artist debug room the debug room is an area within ff7 meant exclusively for the game developers it is filled with links to various game content such as fmvs battle scenarios and towns for the purpose of testing the actual content to see if it would work as intended in the game that said there are no legitimate means of accessing the debug room although it has been left in the game coding this was not done because the developers wanted players accessing the area but because removing the code would likely create more errors than doing so was worth it can be accessed via a cheat device eufy warping or a memory hack if the player selects a warp option within the room leaving the area will then warp them to the area that they last saved the game at before entering the debug room cloud's cameo and ff tactics is canon ff tactics has cloud featured as a guest character and can even be recruited to the party the ff7 ultimania book counts this appearance as canon it details how cloud was pulled into another dimension after the northern crater incident aerith post death dialogue if the player hacks in aerith after her death via game shark she will have dialogue in later parts of the game this has led to speculation that the sequences of events in game were meant to be changed or in a particularly different order tifa's orthopedic underwear while the party is being told the events of nibbleheim via cloud's flashback the player can go into tifa's house she is not home but the player still has the ability to explore her entire house if the player interacts with the wardrobe in tifa's room he will find a joke item called the orthopedic underwear the tifa in the present that is currently listening to the story will scold cloud for joking about her underwear while he is retelling her story red 13 clones red 13 would have had a side story regarding two clones of his called cobalt 14 and indigo 15. there would have been a battle regarding the three and the party would have to find out which one was the real red 13 and avoid killing him after the battle red 13 would ask the party to spare the clones because beyond him they were the last of his kind these two clones would then reappear in the final dungeons partially cybernetic and determined to prove their superiority over the original all but three party members were supposed to die in the oral history interview done by polygon it was revealed that yoshinori kitasi a director and writer of ff7 originally wanted for every party member to die during the midgar parachuting scene except for the three the player chose for the party tetsuya nimura the game's main artist claimed that while he did kill aerith he was the one who stopped the rest of the party from dying ff10 is a prequel to ff7 during the events of the game the main catalyst of the game's events and the organization considered by some of the actual main antagonists is the shinra electric power company it uses the life stream or the planet's life force to create an energy known as mako it is then used to fuel great cities all over the planet many people in the community have made the connection that ff10 is a prequel to seven because of this concept of mako as in ff 10 2 close to the end of the game there is a cutscene that can be activated by talking to the young albed boy this boy's name is shinra when he asked what he is doing his response is shocking he says that he is researching something he calls the planet's life force he then goes on to say that it would be possible to harness the energy and use it to fuel cities this causes the main character to get very excited at the idea however he cautions that it would take generations interviews with scenario writer kazushuge nojima who is the main writer of ff7 8 10 and 10 2 and producer yashinura katasi have revealed that ff7 and 10-2 share a plot-related connection in which the shinra corporation in ff7 is founded by the descendants of shinra of the goal wings in ff 10 2. square enix would give this theory a little nod in the ff7 remake when the party raids shinra hq they can see a picture of shinra's founders in the middle is an adult male who wears the same mask that shinra from ff10 wears book end the final cut scene of the original ff7 has proved to be a fairly confusing one among the fanbase as many think it has never been adequately explained this is because one of the last things that we see in the game is aerith's face in the same position as in the opening cut sheets detail led to a lot of wild speculation regarding the meaning of the ending one of the most common prevailing theories was that aerith had seen the events of the game in a vision and therefore was aware of everything that was about to occur this theory gains even more credibility as the ff7 remake picks up at exactly where ff7 left off with aerith's vision if this is true it would explain why aerith and sephiroth seem to be aware of the events that happened in the original game emerald weapon in crisis core in ban aura underground the player will be able to see the original emerald weapons shoulders emerge from a large formation of crystal it lies outside of the map and is impossible to get any closer to it according to the crisis core complete guide the banora mining site was closed after shinra discovered emerald weapon in stasis underground and the village was built to hide the discovery with shinra staffing it with residents as a cover-up cloud in kingdom hearts cloud appears in the kingdom heart series seeking sephiroth across several worlds wishing to end a grudge between them in kingdom hearts 1 and 2 cloud appears as a boss in the various coliseum cups after the player beats cloud in the hercules cup in the first kingdom hearts they receive the metal chocobo keyblade which is modeled after the buster sword in kingdom hearts 2 cloud returns appearing in the area of the hollow bastion wearing his outfit from advent children cloud is again seeking sephiroth and confronts him after sephiroth spars with sora secret cow level using a save crystal in a specific screen of the northern cave will display the area named in the menu and save file as secret cow level this is a reference to the secret cow level in diablo 2. cat she's true pronunciation many people playing the game for the first time will pronounce the name as kate sith due to how it's spelled however it is actually pronounced ket she as the name is scottish gaelic meaning fairy cat this explains why they give him a scottish accent in all future voiced appearances that was a close one i never was good at fighting luckily i came out wearing the wreath you're really not a bad bloke are you vincent ah you pretend not to care but you always come through in the end bringing aerith back for years following the game's release rumors persisted that the character aerith could be brought back to life various insanely time-consuming methods were proposed and it was later claimed that it was only possible in the japanese version by buying a rose when cloud meets aerys for the first time in the game and was cut from the us version due to time constraints these were all finally put to rest when nimiro was interviewed about the making of the game by a uk video games publication named edge he stated that the world was expecting us to bring her back to life as this is the classic convention but we did not we had decided this from the beginning aerith's death was intended in part to be a response to the dramatic cliche of the meaningful death which numira considered unrealistic he has also always maintained that if the game were ever remade aerith would die in the remake as well producer hironobu sakaguchi has said that he allowed aerith to die as an expression of grief after his mother died during the production of ff3 at the time sakaguchi wanted to craft a story that would show just because somebody has passed on it doesn't mean that they are forever lost he also wanted to present a realistic death rather than a hollywood sacrificial end these two desires resulted in the concept of the life stream and aerith's iconic death the characters continuing to go on attempting to save the world after aerith's death is a reflection of his own feelings coping with his mother's own tragic death lincoln continental the song lincoln continental by rapper danny brown directly samples the main theme of ff7 [Music] durge of cerberus cliffhanger the game has a secret ending that you can unlock by collecting all three of the g-files hidden throughout the game following the ending of the game the camera will pan to weiss's body lying on the flooded cavern which sends out a shock wave that awakens genesis genesis then approaches weiss and tells him it is not yet time for slumber and that they have much work to do he picks up his brother spreads his wings and flies off into the night since as of right now this is the last chronological entry in the compilation of ff7 except for the final scenes of advent children genesis current status is unknown despite releasing 24 years ago final fantasy vii is still talked about today and praised just as much as it was when it was released with the remake also being universally loved and a more traditional remake coming soon it seems that square enix intends to keep the future of ff7 alive and well like and subscribe if you'd
