Video Description

*THIS VIDEO CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR FF7 REMAKE AND REBIRTH.* However, no spoilers from beyond Remake or Rebirth are found in this video, such as the OG FF7 1997, Crisis Core, Advent Children, or books/novelizations. No matter when or how you first experienced Final Fantasy 7, I'm certain these characters and story have left a mark on you just as they did for me. And whether you started with the original game or the Remake series, I'm also sure you've had times when you were confused just like Zack and saying to yourself, “What the hell is going on??!” And that's especially true when it comes to the FF7 Remake Project. Part of the confusion for many people revolves around why is this considered a remake as well as the purpose behind it and the ways it differs from the original game. So in this video, we’re going beyond the engrossing plot and intense battles to look at the deeper fabric of Final Fantasy VII’s universe—the Planet itself, the cycles of the Lifestream, and the multiple intersecting worlds introduced both Remake and Rebirth; elements which I believe aren’t just lore being expanded to pad the Remake series; they’re shaping the story’s direction and setting up how the final climax of both the FF7 Remake project and the whole FF7 Compilation. I think this Shattered Planet Theory explains a ton and very well could be exactly where FF7 part 3 is going. But remember with these FF7 theories, we all could be wrong...or right! Either way this discussion is meant to be fun. So let us know what you think in the comments!
