Final Fantasy Instagram is posting about locations is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and 99% of the comments on the Gongaga post are either "Me? Gongaga" or a gif of the Me? Gongaga scene. The internet is so beautiful sometimes

Gongaga is just heart stab after heart stab huh… The Crisis Core music… Cissnei… Zack’s parents… Cissnei talking about missing Zack in her side quest in Ch. 12… Every time I go back there I’m just overwhelmed.
Also I’m kinda sad Cloud didn’t (at least yet) tell the Fairs he knew Zack after he “remembers” him in the Nibelheim Inn. Though maybe it’s better this way cause goodness knows a scene like that would make me an emotional mess. Every Zack crumb just makes me wanna sob.

I can't figure out how to do the empty down-pointing triangle and copy-paste is mean to me. the aging one for our pals zack & (sane) seph. We don't really get to hear about aging SOLDIERs cause well, they're not really meant to survive so long, so I'd love to hear about thoughts about if they *did*
Ooooh oooh OOOH!!! Such an interesting premise….! :0
You’re absolutely right in that SOLDIERs unfortunately tend to lead very short lives. So what would a life look like post-ShinRa? What would it look like for our bestest buddies, had they had the opportunity to live the life they deserved….?
~
Sephiroth was always uncertain about his future. It was almost impossible to imagine a life without being bound in the ropes that he had known since his first breaths. A life… without fighting? Without bloodshed? Without orders to follow and rules to adhere to? A life where he didn’t have to fill the contours of an already-existing poster? It was…. frightening, truly. And perhaps that’s why he never tried to leave.
Zack changes that though.
He takes Sephiroth by the wrist one day, tells him that they need to leave. They’re poisoning themselves by standing. Who knows how much longer they would be able to stay standing if they remained put? What if one of them crippled next? Sank into the shadow of Genesis and Angeal….? Zack vehemently states that he’s not willing to lose Sephiroth. Not another best friend. And he wasn’t going to wait around for that to happen.
Still…. there’s that flicker of hesitance in Sephiroth’s eyes. That fear. That uncertainly. Still tied to those ropes, seemingly forever bound. The overwhelming weight in his chest, the thundering thoughts, trying to process a world where he would… where he would be—
Zack squeezes his wrist tight.
“Don’t worry, bud. You will never be alone. I promise.”
And Sephiroth knows then that it will never be broken.
They both agree that leaving civilly, and safely, is the best course of action. Gaia knows they don’t need troops of SOLDIERs dogging them for the rest of their lives. So it’s up to the President’s Office they go. ShinRa is startled, for one thing—a reaction that quickly whets into a cold, angry denial of their request. Losing Sephiroth? Losing Sephiroth?
But the fortunate reality is that Sephiroth is a cosmic warrior with the strength of a thousand radioactive elephants, and there’s nothing ShinRa can truly do when he resorts to pointing Masamune at him. Tells him that he was to not come after him, or his treasured friend. Tells him to pass the message to Hojo. ShinRa has no choice, ultimately, lest he want to unwittingly mirror a much bleaker future. He lets them go.
Goodbyes are exchanged all throughout SOLDIER. Zack goes through a line, hugging all his buddies he made over the years. Promises Cloud that he will amount to amazing things, and he will be there to see it. Promises Aerith he will call every day. There’s a ceremony held for Sephiroth’s retirement, only about 1/3 of the SOLDIERs shedding tears—plus a mystery droplet shed by one of the Turks.
And then, after the final goodbyes, Zack & Sephiroth are off. Away from ShinRa. Away from the cage. They eventually settle in Gongaga, after several days and nights of travel and stargazing and campfires and sleeping bags, and Zack tearily reunites with his parents. Seph is initially awkward, feels out of place. But his parents welcome him with open arms. Not starstruck, not a trace of fright or anxiety. Zack had written countless letters home in the past, and the last several had only described his best friend in glowing light. How kind he was. How thoughtful. How much more he was than simply a face on a poster. He wrote about how much they had been through. How he become his brother…. family. And how he would one day be able to prove it to them.
Sephiroth is soon given his own room, just across from Zack’s—a fact that they are both very grateful for, Zack constantly coming into Seph’s room in the middle of the night when he can’t sleep and Sephiroth always able to check on him when he needs to. Disregarding these things, however, Sephiroth ends up spending much less time in it than he would have expected. It’s a clear-cut opposite from his more secluded time in SOLDIER, addled with days where he never left his room or the office. Here, he’s out in the sunshine with Zack almost every day. They fish for dinner, they take walks through the jungle, they fight off local monsters, they help the neighbors and their children and even check on the Reactor when they can (discovering a malfunction and thankfully tending to it immediately).
Weeks fade into months, months fade into a year, a year fades into several, and Zack & Sephiroth are still safe and sound in Gongaga. All of the initial awe that the residents once possessed, it had long withered away. Sephiroth is accepted as an official member of the village. Accepted as a person. A resident. People wave good morning to him when he leaves the house each morning, and he waves back. Zack can’t be any happier <3.
While most of their SOLDIER roots have been severed over the years, there are still threads of their lives that are simply too strong to be broken. Such as sparring, for instance; Zack & Sephiroth still enjoy getting their blood rushing with spars, clanging and clashing their old blades without any stakes or rivalry or competition. It’s all in good fun, for old times sake, as well as delivering some solid, riveting entertainment to the villagers. Still, even though their spars stayed alive, countless of other aspects of their old lives had long evolved and changed. It was a gradual process, getting Sephiroth to shift clothes. But ultimately he assimilated into much more climate-appropriate t-shirts and pants. He eats meals much more regularly, practically eating a healthy three every day. He is also sleeps sounder than he ever had in his life.
Life in the Fair houseshold changes a little as well. It becomes tighter. Closer. Like home. Sephiroth is treated like a true son, loved and looked after by Zack’s parents. And Sephiroth comes to love them in turn. It’s still magical to think about, sometimes, when he’s lying in bed with Zack by his side…. How he can be so lucky. To think he had once think he had nothing, in the early stages of his life. No mother. No father. No siblings to speak of. He clutches his friend tighter, resting his head against the bed of raven spikes.
And now he has the entire world in his hands.
More years go by. A decade. Maybe two. Due to the Jenova cells still in his body, Sephiroth ages quite gracefully, his physical appearance hardly changing as he climbs into his 40s. Both Zack & Sephiroth begin to lose their energy and drive to spar, engaging in the activity less and less and less. But that is not to say it’s not made up by other activities. The two love to travel, frequently visiting Midgar to reunite with Aerith and Kunsel (outside the walls of ShinRa). Those two aren’t the only people they check up on, however. Zack eventually learns that Cloud has moved back to Nibelheim, and eagerly convinces Sephiroth to go on another trip across the continent—a trip that Sephiroth happily agrees to. Though Sephiroth has a lingering headache throughout the visit, everything is smooth-sailing; Zack is ecstatic to learn that Cloud has a girlfriend, Sephiroth sharing the same pride and happiness for his old cadet. They stay for a few days, resting at the inn. Eating local food. Laughing about how Sephiroth is finally wearing a shirt. And then it’s back home.
Home…. Sephiroth can’t help but say to himself, stepping back through the front door and shrugging his luggage off. He says it every time he enters. Every time he walks through that foyer. Every time his parents come to greet them back. Every time Zack slings an arm around his shoulder, thanking him for coming along. He says it every time…. because somehow the magic never fades away.
Home…. Sephiroth repeats to himself. I’m finally home.

Managed to Finish Chapter 9 yesterday quite quickly... Didn't expect our stay in Gongaga to be so short because the region itself is SO HUGE
Had to retry Scarlet fight a couple of times but my girls pulled through for me. I'm finally starting to really dig (AND UNDERSTAND!) how Yuffie is supposed to be played. Tifa will stay Main forever tho<3
Thoughts on the story... MY CLOTI HEART. I'm not big on theorizing and stuff bc I don't know the full plot of the OG, but it seems clear we're straying further and further from the OG timeline and events. I still have difficulties trying to understand whether Sephiroth always actually appears (only for certain characters to see) or if it's only an illusion... But maybe that's what the game wants.
Anyway, at first I had difficulties exploring Gongaga bc of the jumpy mushrooms but once I got the hang of that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Ended up in some jungle ruins while on the mission to unlock Remnawave Towers... Only for Chadley to send me there later for excavation lol. Also accidently stumbled across all 3 Summon Shrines/intel without actively looking for them. That's what i call true skill 💀
I've also found that I really like playing Cait and Red. Took me a while to get the hang of Red tbh, totally didn't play him at all at the start but his weapon skills make me feel so powerful. I just always lose track of his HP 💀
Cait on the other hand is so fun. I enjoy playing him without the Moogle more tbh, he's so quick and smooth. His weapon of choice is really amusing and his skills surprisingly do a lot of damage.
I've read somewhere that even after Chapter 9 the story isn't close to done because 11 and 13 are really long. Looking forward to that, can't wait to randomly start crying over Cloti or Zack or Aerith or any of them, actually.
Will continue Gongaga exploration today after work! And then off to Cosmo Canyon I go, really excited to see what the map is gonna look like. Will keep you updated on further progress and thoughts!
