Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: The Boy and the Hero, and the Monster

Published 2024-05-12
In the most recent trailer, at the Edge of Creation why does Sephiroth react so pensively to something he’s remembering? What glory and horror are hinted at by this revelatory occurrence. The One Winged Angel, whom throughout Ever Crisis trailers has been riddled with static, appears as both child and the adult. Static, synonymous with mind and universe uniting, when consciousness warps what’s witnessed, and if sufficiently powerful… what is. Static that also consumes Rosen now.

Glenn in a future memory attacks his surrogate younger brother Sephiroth, unprovoked. We’re about to find out why.

The series on the Deep Dive of the Ending will continue next time. Enjoy!

    I get Rev’d every time Seph v Seph gets mentioned! 🎉🎉🎉
  • Going to have to watch an ever crisis lore vided when it comes out. Looking forward to continuing the discussion!
  • @jennahanks3032
    You forgot the biggest part in the conclusion of First Soldier! When Glen meets Mrs. Strife! 😬
  • @fire1ice1
    There's AI doctors now? How's that even work? You should be announcer for Seph v Seph "And in this corner weighing in at!...."
  • @Edu_Hi_FTW
    That's quite the whiplash for me. Hot on hating Seph after the City of Ancients. But that's "Watashi" Seph. Would Ore Seph make the same choice? It is definitely something to feel out for the next couple of years.
  • @OzZforrest
    Wow your last chapter of the video really got me emotional. If that works here, just imagine how it would work if they would actually do it. Would you personally like it if they go that way?
  • @WintersChosen
    I really dig the idea of a fight for dominance between the two parts of Sephy, but I have to respectfully ask aren't you worried a friendly Seph or on-Beagle-world Zack would overshadow at least some of what the rest of the party would be going through? I'm not talking in battle as FF6 gave a great way to handle large parties. But I'm thinking events like parachuting back into Midgar, or the "Lets mosey" moment. I'm not sold it would be problematic at all. Just asking aloud.

    I also wonder why 2 chapters at the same time?? Everything SE does is intentional.
