![]() Aerith sensing Zack’s death via the Lifestream, and Angeal reaching out to his friend and welcoming him into the Lifestream. Why would his own story tell the untruth about his end? Then there are the scenes with Aerith & Angeal. There are a few points against it, though: Crisis Core is not Cloud’s story, it’s Zack’s story. Cloud, our unreliable narrator, just might not know that Zack actually didn’t die (at that point), it could once again be a false memory. But at the same time, I considered that it could have always been that way then. And Zack’s appearance in Intermission further reinforces my assumption.Īfter his appearance in Remake, I could easily imagine the scene at the end of Remake showing that Zack might actually have survived. I’m pretty sure that the things that currently confuse or puzzle us have to do with the Lifestream. The creative minds behind Final Fantasy VII simply don’t need that, especially since their universe already has everything they need. Deux Ex Machina is mostly a rather cheap grab at the bag of tricks and, with a few exceptions, doesn’t testify to a particularly good storytelling style. Sure, theoretically it would be possible – but we’re dealing with Nojima and Nomura, Kitase and Sakaguchi, fantastic writers and storytellers. ![]() a plot that splits into two separate strands after the destruction of the Moiren or Whipser, respectively. I’m still convinced that we’re not dealing with different timelines, i.e. Intermission has strengthened my opinion on some points and changed it on others. There are actually some successful things out there that I personally don’t think are well told ) So – I don’t want to say that anyone is stupid because they see something differently or have drawn different conclusions than I have. Just because I think one way is logical and another is narrative nonsense, it may still turn out differently. ![]() And again, a disclaimer: This here is my theory, it’s my thoughts and conclusions drawn with my (partially rusty) knowledge of the Final Fantasy VII Compilation and what I’ve interpreted from the new parts. That might make it easier to follow me to Intermission now. If you want to know my detailed thoughts on the ending of Final Fantasy VII Remake, feel free to check out my „ Remake-Ending-Analysis/Theory“ from last year. And none of them could be answered clearly so far. Is what we have seen the reality? Is Zack alive? Or does Aerith feel his presence because he died in exactly THIS place? Does she only feel his memory, his echo? The shadow of his existence in the Lifestream? Or was time actually messed up by the destruction of the Whisper in the Singularity? Are there now two timelines in which the action takes place? And is the one in which Zack lives still identical to the one in which our party embarks on its journey? Are there now two Clouds? Or one timeline in which Zack lives and one in which Zack died? Remake already invited to the wildest speculations last year. Interesting, exciting, confusing, inscrutable, and therefore so insanely good. And that’s the point where it gets really interesting. But then … yes … then we saw him again – Zack. Those little details! *aaww* I wouldn’t even know where to start listing them all – I wouldn’t stop after all ^^‘ So let me just say: This short „Intermission“ was perfectly staged for me and contained more than I would have ever dared to dream. Yes, it was „only“ the way to Kalm, but … hello?! It was the way to Kalm! :D It’s so wonderful to watch how the characters interact with each other. So I was all the more pleased to be able to take a look at Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Aerith and Red XIII after Yuffie’s adventure. But – quite honestly – what the „little Yuffie DLC“ offered us – wow. ![]() Well, that the Final Fantasy series has special endings and often an extra coockie after the credits isn’t really news. Please be indulgent, I so rarely write much in English ^^‘Īfter the ending of Final Fantasy VII Remake gave us some food for thought, Intermission does it again. I am still in the process of finding and eliminating possible errors in the language. If you prefer the German version of this text: go here. If you haven´t played the games or watched the movie yet and want to have an undisturbed experience with it, NOW it is time to stop reading! This post contains several major spoilers, thoughts and theories about Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Crisis Core, Advent Children & Dirge of Cerberus!
