Referring to Nojima’s quote in the Rebirth Ultimania about “having reservations of an affection system,” I felt like his quote directly supports what he has been saying since the beginning of the Remake Trilogy—That he wants the FF7 story to be “less open for interpretation.”—since having...

Couldn’t have put it better myself. Such great advice

Welcome to the forum! Hope you can find some like-minded individuals here that can help contribute to a different or deeper understanding of FF7 as a whole.

I wanted to highlight this excerpt from the Rebirth Ultimania translated by HayashiNagisa on X/Twitter. Echoing what HayashiNagisa wrote about the devs and their hesitations around “player’s choice,” it reminds me of a post someone made a while back about Cloud and Aerith’s final church date and...

Played through Chapter 14 in JP and when you approach the alter where Aerith is praying, she says みんなが 好きなんです (I like everyone). Not sure if it’s supposed to be a callback to the scene earlier where she tells Cloud she doesn’t know what type of like she feels about him, but it feels purposeful...

What did she say exactly? From what I’ve seen/heard, hasn’t she reprimanded gamers who target or harass people who worked on the game if it doesn’t go their way? She says it in her BBC interview here

I’m not sure if this has been discussed yet but I’m intrigued at the possibility of the Sector 5 Church Date->

Got chills reading this. I think is a very valid interpretation that doesn’t discount or denigrate Aerith’s feelings towards Cloud AND Zack.

I’m honestly going to guess that Aerith will have a larger role to play in Part 3 than she did in OG. That being said, I do think they will keep her interactions with the main party to a minimum and she will be relegated to a role either similar to or in conjunction with Zack where the two of...

I believe in Rebirth, watching most (if not all) of the dates is required for the platinum trophy, since there are different collectibles you get for Johnny’s Seaside Inn depending on which version of the Loveless play you get.

It may be due to PR, but I still think it’s a good message to share with fans. I think more people need to understand that Cloud’s relationship with Tifa doesn‘t undercut his relationship with Aerith, and vice versa.

Yea, that’s why I feel like people who use the “it’s optional“ argument for the GS Dates aren’t really seeing the bigger picture. Even if some players didn’t get Tifa’s date, the writers for Part 3 need to assume that some players did, so they need to be careful not to contradict anything that...

Agreed. I found the:

What a great read. Speak your truth! @Rin

Interesting take on the White Materia. Regarding the White Materia in the end:

Yea, the fortune-telling scene in Rebirth definitely contains an Advent Children reference. Players can think it’s solely referencing Aerith if they want, but, based on the ending of Rebirth and knowing where the story is heading, I think it more has to be about:

It’s frustratingly (for some) open to interpretation. And I say “for some” because I know some fans do thrive off the ambiguity of scenes pertaining to a ship even though I personally don’t like the feeling of being baited or never getting explicit confirmation of something, I was so relieved...

If I could share my takes on your questions,

To be fair, in JP, Marlene says: “hyu~ hyu~” instead of “Cause you weren’t there” which is a japanese onomatopoeia for when you’re teasing two people for acting lovey-dovey. I still agree with what you wrote though. Nothing in Rebirth, as far as I’ve seen, concludes that Zack supports C/A.

This delves into theorycrafting but I’m interested in the theory that:
