Zakkura Week Day 1! Wiggled in All of the Prompts.
Edit to note: Fun fact! This is the 75th fic I've posted to A03!
Zack told his parents that he has a boyfriend already, so they’ll stop trying to set him up with people in hopes of making him settle down and come home. The problem? He doesn’t! And so he enlists his best friend, Cloud, to be that boyfriend. Cloud says yes, despite some misgivings about his own feelings for his friend.
“We’re friends, right?”
Cloud rolled his eyes. This was going somewhere, for sure, and the cadet wasn’t too sure he liked it. Still, he felt compelled to go along with it, at least a little. “What do you want, Zack?”
“Aww, come on, don’t be like that.” Zack said, pouting.

Literally the worst change in Final Fantasy 7:R is that Avalanche aren’t responsible for the destruction of the reactor.
Avalanche are terrorists, and making it be not their fault because you can no longer have your protagonists do questionable shit is boring and kind of weakens the entire story. Just let them have actually done this thing that is, overall, explicitly a net positive, and make them wrestle with the human impact of that on people they know and care about - people just like them, trying to survive in a hostile world.
Like, that’s it, isn’t it? What are you willing to do, what are you willing to give up, what parts of yourself are you willing to compromise, for your goals and your morals and your ethics?

i’m about a month late to the ffvii rebirth fanfare but i saw your study/shot comparison for the ending while scrolling through some tags and was really curious to see if you had come up with any more conclusions since then! i just finished it a couple days ago and still reeling from it and have been enjoying hearing people’s thoughts about what the heck they think is going on. obvs cloud is not ok, but i’m still trying to decide just how much of what we’re seeing is due to his sanity going out the window and how much of it (if any) is aerith actually speaking to him and/or sephiroth messing with him. the way he tells the rest of the party to not look up at the sky though and none of them see what he sees, just clues them all in to the fact that he isn’t entirely all there anymore. a collective very concerned side-eye lol. somebody help him pls.
!!! oh friend, you're in a TON of luck: I actually started a few different commentaries on how I saw the ending on this weeks back, but didn't post them because I got distracted by other fandoms? I'm more than happy to share them though—not as developed as they could be, but some congealing of where my mind went upon finishing the game and rewatching the gameplay.
forewarning: FFVII ending spoilers + a long af post lmao
So I wrote this on my twitter (where I go to see things only on twt lol) the other day because of a bunch of concepts were clarified by the Ultimania + translators, which kinda sums up where my thoughts are:
Which...yeah. As I see it: as of the ending, Aerith is in fact dead in our current world (the one of the player narrative). How I see it, she's died in our primary timeline—though likely "alive" in the same way Zack is in some other timeline, in addition to her connection to every "universe" through the power of her connection to the planet as the last Cetra.
The white whispers (which represent Aerith/the will of the planet) as well as the “confluence of world” colors we see with Sephiroth are all around when Cloud supposedly “sees her alive" during the classic death scene—
—an indicator that the event itself was the "confluence" Sephiroth was trying to achieve, with Cloud experiencing several versions of it due to his own connection to Sephiroth/the lifestream/his fragmented mind. We see this both in what Sephiroth says around the event itself....and also the contrasting experiences of our party with what Cloud sees in the moment (+ through end of the game).
As I see it, Cloud’s consciousness by the end of FFVII:R-II is fully fractured; throughout both Remake & Rebirth he is already seeing visions affected by Sephiroth’s influence on the planet (the black whispers, the way hooded men and thin air turn into Sephiroth before his eyes)—and now, during the “confluence of emotions / worlds / reunion” mentioned (Aerith's death), Cloud’s already broken mind is slipping further into seeing “the middle space” of the worlds joined and prepared for destruction by Sephiroth in real time, rather than following the timeline of events in the world we play—a la the post that inspired your ask. :)
All that said: the reason he’s seeing Aerith (not just sensing her the way Red does in his own Lifestream connection) is because she’s a Cetra, and now (in death) the embodiment of the positive!Will of Gaia across worlds—so because of Cloud's connection to that "middle space" / ability to traverse different versions of reality because of his connection to Sephiroth, Cloud is interacting with her presence…despite it not being there for anyone else.
It’s also why he can see the sky split no one else can.
ADDITIONALLY:
The Aerith we see fight alongside Cloud in the final battle and the one we see walking around everyone as Cid fixes the plane…that’s the spirit of her person (think the Aerith of Advent Children). Aerith didn’t live this game—her spirit can communicate because of Sephiroth's successful confluence, though she’s ALSO "alive" in the same way Zack and Biggs are to us: aka she died in the world she was in but still exists in others, which Sephiroth confirms/explains both when Aerith pulls Cloud into another “doomed” world—
when he’s trying to manipulate Cloud in the Lifestream—
and when you’re fighting Sephiroth alongside Aerith in the void during the final battle (after she’s died).
Even so, Aerith “living on” as the last Cetra/the spirit of the planet + someone with access to multiple worlds through the "reunion" means she’s now as able to infiltrate Cloud's ongoing visions as Sephiroth is...and is likely trying to keep him even somewhat present despite his clearly fractured mind.
I think that’s implied repeatedly by through the hollow Holy Materia (implying both Aerith is no longer “there,” but still present + that cloud himself is now hollow)—
—and why/how the Black Materia (Sephiroth) is still manipulating him and very much driving his fractured thoughts, visions and actions.
As for the rest of the party: it's because no one but his “vessel-connected-to-Sephiroth” self (+ now dead-but-living-on-in-the-Lifestream Aerith) has any idea what he learned about worlds in the Lifestream that what’s happening to Cloud is lost on everyone (and why they look painfully concerned), and also why spirit!Aerith repeatedly gives him reminders to 1) not listen to Sephiroth and 2) focus on finding himself again.
All that said: because Cloud’s actual self is already slipping away from our present game TL by the second half of the game, it will have to be retrieved and rearranged—which we know will happen in game 3 (assuming you know the original FF7 plot where Tifa rearranges him in the Lifesteam) but that has to be changed from “Cloud finds out about Zack and finally cracks" because Cloud already knows about Zack in some capacity by the middle of Rebirth.
I personally think this sets us up for a really interesting resolution in that Tifa is going to probably have spirit!Aerith’s help putting Cloud back together in the Lifestream in game 3—and that she will likely play a bigger part in helping Cloud “find himself” in his own world again because it’s been made more apparent that she’s a full consciousness in the Lifestream/able to affect multiple worlds now because of Sephiroth completing the first step in his plan. That's more just hopeful on my part going into the next game than something rooted in analysis though.
But yes! those are my thoughts! I hope this gives you (more than a little) something. Feel free to ask if something isn’t clear though lol this was like 4 different half-done drafts combined 😂 Regardless, ty so much for the ask / giving me a reason to post them!
#I hope this made even one (1) iota of sense. I can clarify in a full post later if you'd like because this was a lot of bits and bobs LOL#still. its been made clear by Nomura and Co she is no longer with us at least in THIS world#and context clues as to when cloud sees her + the streak in the sky + the visions of sephiroth etc...his connection to Sephiroth#through Mako/SOLDIER/something similar to the Sephiclones is why he's out here going THROUGH IT#as Sephiroth converges the world. at least in MY reading#cloud strife#aerith gainsborough#sephiroth#ffvii analysis#ffvii spoilers#ffvii:r spoilers#ffvii#final fantasy#the me tag#asks

What better day to debut the server I've been debating for like, a month, than on the day of the Final Fantasy 25th anniversary event? Shame I couldn't get it done before it dropped, but this is fine!

Was watching some clips of the FFVII Rebirth (specifically the Dream Sequence between Aerith and Cloud) and was just feeling ✨The Vibes✨ from it
Briana White’s voice acting as Aerith was really good… but I’m too broke to play FFVII:R at the Moment…
If the Time Loop Theory does become a reality, I think Lucia would try to pull a similar stunt to protect Malleus.

When Claudia described what type of girl that Cloud should be with in the OG, was she still describing Tifa as she does in FFVII:R, or was this a red herring about Aerith? Since Cloud's response was "not interested" in OG, I'm trying to interpret if he was just being shy/stubborn about admitting his feelings about Tifa to his mom or if he was being dismissive about being with an older girl (Aerith). I also heard that the "older girl" line was a mistranslation and didn't refer to Aerith
She was still talking about Tifa. She didn't even know Aerith. How tf can it be about someone she doesn't even know? Cloud's just being a teenager with his response. We know he was hiding from Tifa, that everything he did was about being good enough for her.
And yeah, it's a mistranslation that it's physically older Claudia means. It's actually just someone who's responsible, and Tifa is responsible for Cloud once they're together. We see it in otwtas how she cares for him.
