SPOILERS Theory about Cloud and Sephiroth for the next installment

[S-O]

I came up with a theory recently that might help explain the "Let us defy destiny together" from Sephiroth.

I think in the next remake title Cloud is gonna figure out that Aerith is gonna die considering all of his "Flash Forwards" of Aerith's death we see in the remake. I feel like Cloud is going to do anything to save Aerith. So considering that Sephiroth said "together" when talking to Cloud I feel that he needs Cloud to join him in order to win and what's the best way to get Cloud to join him...... promising him that if he joins then Aerith will live. The reason I'm connecting this to Aerith so much is because Sephiroth also tells Cloud "seven seconds till the end, time enough for you perhaps" considering that we are going with the theory that he's talking about the time it will take to kill Aerith when he leaps down for her. This could be hinting to us and maybe even cloud in the next game, if he pieces together the puzzle, that since Cloud denied his request in this game then his next chance is to make a decision in that seven second time span that will change Aerith's fate.

What do you guys Think???

This is less clear in the English localization, but the "seven seconds" thing is in reference to the world's end. That moment Sephiroth showed Cloud a vision of is seven seconds before that.

yeah, I personally think Seph doesnt want the world to end or be absorved by the Edge of Creation, because that means the flow of destiny of Gaia would cease to exist, therefore the story of the planet itself wouldn't play out anymore.

That way, both Seph and Cloud (and the other characters) will never end... So SQ has a lore reason to milk this series forever.

Beautiful.

Cloud and Sephiroth, locked together in this dance of love/hate through all eternity, until every distinction between good and evil melts away and the two become one.

When in doubt:

a) Think of the merchandising potential; and
b) Think of the fanfic.
