Whats your favorite moment in the original FFVII?

>>713857974 (OP)
the big reveal about Cloud's past. it's the most perfectly foreshadowed and executed plot twist in gaming history.

The whole section in the lifestream

Yuffie sex

:D

>>713858397
Damn good contender. Actually I'm going to make this my number one as well

But I'm also going to say the HALO jump into Midgar just for sheer hype. The Reactor Bombing OST is absolutely perfect for the Midgar Raid

she is a materia girl

>>713857974 (OP)
the time between getting to the exit of midgar to the end of the story in kalm

>>713857974 (OP)
The entire Shinra Tower sequence was dope. Hopping on the motorcycle at the end was crazy back in the day.

>>713860660
the cgi and music for that section were off the hook

>>713857974 (OP)
Probably the whole huge materia segment

>>713857974 (OP)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuqDb4ap--I

>>713857974 (OP)
Either the scene of Sephiroth discovering Jenova, or Aeris' mom telling everyone about Aeris' past.

>>713857974 (OP)
>Whats your favorite moment in the original FFVII?
i replayed it not long ago and i gotta say that the northren crater scene where cloud loses his shit and starts apologizing to everyone
that was so creepy but also depressing, specially with the music, how Tifa just drops in disbelief

>>713861902
I don’t remember this one

budahagen's planetarium presentation
the whole city of the ancients sequence (the atmosphere of the city is what does it for me, i find the coral setting really eerie)

>>713862458
Yes you do

>>713857974 (OP)
Why is her left leg atrophied?

Golden saucer area and cutscenes

>>713861902
Also damn good contender

>>713862458
It's a blink and you'll miss it moment but Hojo unintentionally confirms all of Cloud's worst fears at her Northern Crater. That he's a failure who never amounted to anything

>Cloud
>Everyone, thanks for everything. And... I'm sorry.

>[He looks to each his party in turn.]

>...Sorry.
>...Sorry.
>Especially you, Tifa. I'm really sorry.
>You've been so good to me...... I don't know what to say...
>I never lived up to being 'Cloud'.
>Tifa...... Maybe one day you'll meet the real 'Cloud'.

>[Tifa shakes her head and falls to her knees.]

>Hojo
>Ha, ha, ha... this is perfect!!!
>It means that my experiment was a complete success.
>What number were you? Huh? Where is your tattoo?

>Cloud
>Professor Hojo... I don't have a number.
>You didn't give me one because you said I was a failed experiment.

>Hojo
>What the--? You mean only a failure made it here?

>Cloud
>Professor... please give me a number. Please, Professor...

>Hojo
>Shut up, miserable failure...

>>713862617
Its a strap. First time I played it I thought she was an amputee

>>713862490
I'm so angry that we couldn't explore the Forgotten Capitol in Rebirth. It's such an incredible location that found a way to feel ancient yet grand even as a PS1 RPG

Corneos room was cool

>>713857974 (OP)

The whole flash back sequence.

>>713857974 (OP)
The buildup to fighting diamond weapon. Watching this Godzilla looking motherfucker slowly coming out of the ocean, knowing that the whole city of midgar is on the line, knowing it's going to be a hard boss fight, it's screaming like it's the one being attacked. All you can do is stand there and wait for it to come eat you. Super hype.

>>713862904
Motherfucker seriously has a disco ball in there

>>713862964
I don't like playing the flashback but there's so much good in there. Particularly Cloud having Pre-emptive and him claiming to be SOLDIER 1st class but he's weaker in the flashback than he is at the start of the game

>this blurry mess was the most beautiful thing boomers had ever seen

>>713863245
Yes

>>713857974 (OP)
When the plate fell and you have to work your way up and infiltrate Shinra HQ maybe. Leaving Midgar and being out on the world map for the first time really stuck with me, too. The first visit to Gold Saucer is great. Junon has great parts. There's a lot of parts I really love in FF7.

>>713863347
https://youtu.be/yrYZAW6pVhE?si=4ItAipt_zA2rXdfp

>>713863478
Love it. It's so perfect.

>>713862515
I do now

>>713863706
It's that first, low piano note that does it for me. Every single time

Squeenix became the Shin-Ra

>>713857974 (OP)
When sephiroth was a pretty chill and cool dude.

>>713863478
For me its when you finally leave the city and reach Kalm and this music plays
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCNZMay1dE4

>>713864646
It's so strange because I rarely think about Kalm itself. But the music has always stuck with me. Like a calm memory if that makes sense.

I did a playthough a few months back and I gotta admit this shit caught me off guard. I put Yuffie in my party because I never used her before. Then after Aeris dies and you do the fight you get the scene of both characters in your party having a somber moment giving their last goodbyes. This time I had Yuffie in the group. She walks up to Aeris and looks at her for a moment before walking up to cloud. Her breathing starts to get harder and then she reaches forward to hug him and starts crying into his chest. After a while she calms down but still runs off. fucking ff7 got me again man. I felt that old wound in my heart open up again.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrPP9HzmPPQ

I love the dirty, smutty feel of wallmarket.

>>713864994
>This time I had Yuffie in the group. She walks up to Aeris and looks at her for a moment before walking up to cloud. Her breathing starts to get harder and then she reaches forward to hug him and starts crying into his chest.
It really is incredible how much emotion Squaresoft was able to cram into 3D sockpuppets. Another one I remember is in the Temple of the Ancients in the Hall of Murals. Visibly Cloud is just shaking his shoulders but I swear I can hear him laughing his ass off at the idea of Meteor hitting the Planet

>>713865164
the slums are pretty great in general, you dried up old geeze

>>713865164
>The guy cooking food over an open barrel
>the restaurant that's way too small, even for the chibi models, but still runs
>the weapons shop being surrounded by garbage and scrap on most sides
>Honey Bee Inn being mostly clean only because it's run by Corneo himself. Even then "clean" is subjective

I did not look up any of this. All of this shit I remember. Why do I remember this shit so vividly?

>>713864646
In Rebirth when this song started after the flashback and you see the warm sunlight and all the people walking around it felt like being warmly hugged by your grandmother who just made a fresh batch of cookies for you. They really nailed the comfiness of Kalm

>>713865625
primarily because of the unadulterated adulterated soul

>there will never be a game like ff7 again
Rebirth came close but still.

>>713865652
It's the walls. It somehow looks like a fantasy fortress city and rural town at the same time. Like a Renaissance Fair. Because of the walls, it's easy to forget that Kalm rests in the desolate shithole known as Midgar's environment. Which was a good move

Good thread fellas

>>713857974 (OP)
no one actually played as yuffie in the original.

Boring game. 8 is better.

>>713860573
LIVING IN A MATERIA WORLD

>>713857974 (OP)
This moment is one of them.

Absolutely fucking butchered in trannymake BTW. Not only does that slop have grey censorship cuck smoke for its autitic kingdom heart baby audience.. but it ruined every single Iconic moment too.

Honestly the whole fucking game. I just adore running around and fighting random enemies in the plains or on the beach or in the mountains or wherever. Costa Del Sol is also some of the best vibes ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXHnzyA0dUE

>>713857974 (OP)
I only played ff7 for the first time in 2020, in preparation for the remake. I knew very little about the story aside from the final boss and aerith's death (which were inescapable spoilers desu). Imo the game 100% holds up and I somehow was able to feel nostalgia for a game I never played before, maybe because it was from the same generation of many of my first games. Most of the moments already mentioned are ones I enjoyed the most, but one that isn't mentioned yet that I enjoyed is the creepy and foreboding moments leading up to the northern crater scene where you're following the black robed guys, and many are dropping dead or making suicidal drops, and their numbers dwindle to the point that you're the only one left. It feels like a ticking clock and for all you know, this could be approaching the final battle of the game. And of course everything that could go wrong does go wrong, and it catapults the game into the last big story section of meteor approaching and the whole end-times apocalypse scenario.

>>713869508
>The blood trail goes from Jenova's cage, to the jail cells, to the top floor, giving the first hint that Jenova itself killed President Shinra disguised as Sephiroth
>There's also massive gashes on the walls, making it seem like a giant monster had passed through

>Remake turns the blood into nondescript glowing sludge
>also the claw marks on the walls are missing entirely

>>713870217
it did slash through it also destroyed the locking mechanism on the doors because you get your key card taken in OG yet ypu can still get through those busted doors.

none of that in tranny make.

>>713870141
>I somehow was able to feel nostalgia for a game I never played before
christ, internet children are weird

Good thread love you guys

>>713870217
It's a shame that VII's horror peaks so early here and just kinda peters out. I wish we had gotten an FF that retained this mood throughout.

>>713873485
The horror thing can only work here just because of his closed in Midgar is. Once it became a globe trotting adventure, it became much harder to get that same feeling.

Ifalna's tapes were fantastic though

>>713864994
cait sith reaction is the fucking greatest

kino of the highest order

>>713864994
just watching those over again made a tear roll down. that fucking music man.

>>713874581
This made Cloud my favorite character ever

>>713867747
>rebirth came close

no it fucking didnt. ffvi, viii and X are much closer.

>>713868545
I ran yuffie and tifa everytime and still do. I cant resist the cunny.

>>713874663
My favorite character is Barret, but Cloud is my second favorite. I love this game.

>>713869508
>>713870217
but why does jenova/sephiroth unlock the cell doors for the party to escape? never understood this.

>>713873485
cave of gi, crashed gelnika and shinra mansion are a little spoopy too and theres the haunted hotel in gold saucer but yeah nothing compares to that section.

>>713874804
Jenova doesn't unlock the party's cells. Jenova unlocks Cloud's cell. Because Cloud has Jenova inside him and thus is a part of the Reunion

>>713874771
Barret is a close second favorite. If I had to do a top 3 for FF7 it'd be

Cloud
Barret
Reeve

>>713858259
I like how I can still discover secrets about it 30 years later. Like how in the Nibelheim flashback Cloud has a pre-emptive materia equipped foreshadowing him literally stabbing Sephiroth in the back.

>>713875024
For me it's barret, cloud, yuffie, cid, red 13 and everyone else after them. The entire game is full of memorable characters. Issa masterpiece.

>>713874804
It's unclear.
the guard might have done that just before he was killed, planning to either flee into clouds cell or get them to help fight the monster.
it adds to the creepiness that it could have possibly seen you and attacked you while you were sleeping but once it realized this wasn't the way to the top floor it just went back.

>>713874581
Best scene in all vydia

>>713875153
Oh yeah I could gush for hours about any of these characters. Those 3 just really resonate with me on a personal level. I'm pretty sure I'm the only guy who loves Reeve as a character because he gets almost no attention

yall have mentioned most of the best parts already but some highlights of mine that havent been mentioned:
>snowboarding. its fucking kino, easily the best minigame
>going up to space with cid
>reaching the third disc where you have all these new sidequests, ultimate weapons and limit breaks to go out and get
>the wutai sidequest, especially running into the turks on vacation and they are just like meh whatever
>temple of the ancients is incredibly cool, one of my favorite dungeons along with ultimecia castle
>plate drop on sector 7 and the aftermath

FUCKKK why cant they make another jrpg half as memorable bros it just isnt fair

>>713873485
the scene on the cruise ship had the potential to be creepy as fuck as well as the reveal of a jenova monster.
but the visuals failed it.

>>713875249
He's cool, it's just that the game is so stacked in the good characters department it's difficult for a someone like him to shine when he gets so little screentime. Unless you count his time as cait sith including the one time he (rightfully) throws shit at barret. Such a great scene.

>>713875271
This scene literally lasts like 10 seconds and it's impactful. The small moments are also memorable. The world and nature are worth fighting for.

>>713875195
actually I think this guy nailed it
>>713874998

makes perfect sense, absolute kino writing

>>713874581
>Goosebumps.jpg

finding tifas panties in her childhood home.

>>713875093
You know FF7 actually pulls that trick twice? In Gold Saucer when you meet Cait Sith, he basically forces his way into the party

>Cloud
>What you pursue will be yours. But you will lose something dear.

>Cait Sith
>I don't know if it's good OR bad...
>This's the first time I ever got something like THIS.
>Then shall we?

>Aeris
>What are you talking about?

>Cait Sith
>As a fortune teller, I can't help but think about this.
>If I don't see what it leads to, I won't be able to relax. That's why I'm going with you!

>Aeris
>What are we going to do, Cloud?

>Cait Sith
>I'm comin' with you no matter WHAT you say!

>Cloud
>H... hey!

Everyone talks about Tifa being a monk that acts like a white mage and Aeris being a white mage that acts like a monk. But Moogles are traditionally friendly units that help the party. So if you're experienced in FF, then you probably assumed Cait Sith is just a goofball mascot. But Cait Sith comes equipped with a materia too

It's Manipulate

>>713875531
damn I never made that connection with this materia (or pre emptive). mind fucking blown.

I do think its funny when they are talking about the rat in their party during gongoga and cloud is like "hmmm cant imagine who that could be" like the random dude in a fursuit who just joined the team an hour ago for seemingly no reason wouldnt be incredibly sus.

My favorite part is where Cid funds out that oxygen tank Shera tried to fix so he had abort the launch was indeed malfunctioning.

Im still not over the fact I waited 23 years for a AAA remake of my favorite game ever and it turned out to be the literal worst case scenario shitty fanfiction trannymake of all time. I will never ever stop seething. I dont even care that it isnt turn based or filled with padding, the fucking dogshit alternate plot literally ruins everything. at least we got some top tier r34 out of it i guess.

>>713875665
If Cait Sith is in your party, he'll directly cite that as a point of concern

>Barret
>I don't like it. How'd they find out where we were?

>Cloud
>They followed us...... But there weren't any signs of it. Then, that means......

>Cait Sith
>You don't think there's a spy, do you Cloud?
>I hate this. Now everyone's gonna blame me because I'm new.

>Cloud
>I don't even want to think that there's a spy...
>I trust everyone.

What a fucking snake Cait Sith is early on

>>713875697
I havent played stillbirth and never will but Im assuming they completely censored cid's abusive nature with shera? fucking lame if so

>>713874998
>thus is a part of the Reunion
the reunion in FF7 is just a theory by hojo but yes Jenova is drawn to jenova cells so that could be an exploration.
however it had no problem killing all the 3rd Class Soldiers on the top floors and they contain jenova cells too. So cloud really is just kind of lucky he didn't get attacked.

>>713875843
Can't say if they did because Cid's arc doesn't exist at all. For starters Rocket Town has been entirely cut. So nothing attached to Shera or the Rocket is present. Instead Cid is a freelance pilot who flies the Tiny Bronco to fast travel you to various locations. Also he's not rude at all in Rebirth. He's direct in his speech but in personality he's almost polite. Also he knows Ifalna... somehow. He recognizes Ifalna in Aerith, so when she tells him Ifalna is dead, Cid offers to help the party for free.

>>713875809
damn they even covered that too. what a well written game. the cait sith heel turn is done so incredibly well. even goes and kidnaps marlene to make you really fucking hate his guts. and somehow by the end he is 100% redeemed. cant think of any other game that has character arcs this good for the entire cast.

>>713875882
Well Cloud also mentions that those with particularly strong wills can just ignore Jenova's hivemind. So it's more likely that Jenova recognized that Cloud is receptive to her orders while the other 3rd classes got mulched

>>713875961
>For starters Rocket Town has been entirely cut.

its in part 3 se said that now for years you fucking retard

>>713875961
wow i wish I hadnt even asked. holy shit thats terrible. total squeenix death WHEN

>>713857974 (OP)
It’s been awhile since my last play through but I really liked getting the “beta” enemy skill from the midgar Zolom and then using it to kill him. It’s a crazy powerful spell that lasts through a huge portion of the game.

>>713876006
Well FF7 has a lot of themes and even though a couple of them are a bit clumsy in execution, they're still very sincere. Like the environmentalism is front and center but I think redemption is another strong theme in the game. Most of the cast and humanity itself has fucked up bad at some point. Cloud and his sense of failure, Barret and his rage, even humanity with the Reactors. The Planet isn't wrong to want humanity all gone because why bother with this hassle of a species. But the same way humanity can fuck up, they can also redeem themselves, hence Aerith's prayer to White Materia.

But I think for that message to stick, the characters have to really fuck up with no asterisks. Reeve kidnapped a little girl, held her hostage, and ordered the party to take them to the Temple thinking it'd lead to Shinra's Promised Land. I can argue that Reeve had signs of good in him even from the Plate Bombings but overall Reeve was a scumbag for half the game. And he had to own that. Even when she's shitting on Barrett, Barret is able to dodge the accusations by reminding Cait that he works for Shinra and so he can't wag his finger at anyone. It's messy but that's how redemption often is. And I think that's another reason FF7 stuck with me

>>713876060
Okay? I didn't say it was never going to happen at all. But it's still a factual statement that Rocket Town is not where it's supposed to be given the events Rebirth covers. It's been cut.

I'm here to make sure nobody criticizes 7R

>>713876454
You're here to instigate shitflinging.

best part is when cloud gets r*ped by a pack of strong black BVLLS (unironically)

>>713876534
still cant believe that actually happened. the entire honeybee inn sequence is so surreal and weird. this game is jam packed with incredibly unique moments that hit the whole spectrum of moods.

>>713876528
Not true. I see a FF thread, I check for negative 7R posts of any kind, and I reply to tell them they're wrong. They're the shitposters for complaining about an objectively great game.

>when cloud troons out and goons out with the don
>when cloud gets gangraped
>when cloud goes on a romantic date with a BLACK stud

the only parts I still remember

>>713876454
>>713876646
please go away and KYS were having a nice comfy thread here without having to discuss tranmake and stillbirth at all.

>>713876646
get the fuck out

>>713857974 (OP)
Sapphire Weapon taking the junon cannon pointblank and getting its face blown off.

>>713857974 (OP)
when yuffie bribes you with cunny for a sack of materia. cant blame cloud for taking her up on that, but kind of wild how barret and red xiii join in too.

>>713876876
was always disappointed he's the only weapon we didn't get to fight

>>713877047
While I am disappointed at that, I'm glad Shinra was allowed to get the win there. It puts them in an interesting middle ground where they're still clearly the bad guys but they still help out through the common interest of not wanting to die

>>713876876
blowing a giant monster by blasting a gigantic energy cannon at point blank range is raw as fuck

>>713858259
The mental reintegration portion of the game was indeed extremely well executed. They even managed a perfect "Cherry on Top" finale of Cloud giving an inspiring speech and banging Tifa.

>>713875697
Anon, the tank was in disrepair for decades and it didn't even stop the launch from succeeding. Shera was absolutely 100% in the wrong to do what she did.

>>713877289
The Sister Ray honestly has crazy good stats.

Sapphire Weapon? Blew it's head off

Diamond Weapon? Blew a hole in its chest

Sephiroth's barrier? Vaporized

Honestly Rufus should've just pointed it up to destroy Meteor. It might have worked

>>713875093
Did you know you can go on a date with Barret at the Golden Saucer?

>>713877217
They could have kept the scene the same, just the party fighting him off until the cannon reloads or something. Similar to how Diamond is done.

>>713876454
Kill yourself FFVIIR troon

>>713857974 (OP)
Probably the part where Sephiroth learns about who he is in. I only played FF7 a year or so before the remake came out so I only knew the character from the likes of Kingdom Hearts and as an iconic villain in gaming. It actually caught me off guard how he was a developed character with an actual arc rather than just an anime trope of guy who wants to kill the world.

we need more yuffie

>>713877424
daily reminder women ruin everything. even in vidya.

>>713878006
Not always true. It's just that a woman is far more likely to be a karen. A woman wrote the Soul Reaver series after all.

>>713877856
I don't find Sephiroth interesting on his own. I find Sephiroth's effects on Cloud to be interesting, hence why I like the few times Sephiroth is on screen.

But something that caught me was the parallel with Cloud

>Sephiroth
>...I've always felt since I was small... That I was different from the others. Special, in some way.
>But... not like this...

>Young Cloud
>...I know. I'm the one that was stupid.
>I really wanted to play with everyone, but I was never allowed into the group.
>Then later... I began to think I was different...
>That I was different from those immature kids.

Both Cloud and Sephiroth would rather believe they were special to avoid a truth they don't want to hear. But of them encountered a mind shattering event that forced them to reevaluate who they are. But where Cloud was able to accept that he's an awkward dork and not a superhero. Sephiroth continues to double down that he's just supposed to be the heir of the planet. Even when that's clearly not true

my favorite part is the rollercoaster laser shoot game. I autistically replay it for hours every playthrough going for high scores.

>>713877553
It's not a date tho. if you fuck up completely with the rest of the girls, he's just there like "letz go on some rides man" and then he gets upset that he misses marlene so he opens fire and shoot into the ceiling on the ride.

They got his character so godamn wrong in trannymake. they try to make him sound wise and he's not remotely funny in that like he is in the OG.

>>713876876
The Junon sequence on Disc 2 was fucking epic from start to finish.
>executing Tifa on live TV
>her and Scarlet bitch slapping each other on the cannon
>Sapphire WEAPON getting its fucking head blown off
Goddamn, this thread is such a great reminder of what an incredible adventure FFVII was. The game’s pacing was insane— just one incredible moment followed by another.

>>713864646
Same.

>>713857974 (OP)
Entire Midgar plotline is my favorite chapter in all of gaming. But I still really enjoy the rest of the FF7 world.

>>713878948
>moment

>>713878358
The ferris wheel part of the guys night out was so awkward is was hilarious.

I refuse to play the tranny remake. Anything modern square pumps out is almost guaranteed to be dogshit. 7 had SOVL, 7R is just a pitiful Square cash grab to capitalize on nostalgia for what is one of their best titles. Chrono Trigger still blows it out of the water in terms of story and gameplay.

>not so fast…

>>713857974 (OP)
Running back to Fort Condor after every single main story event, so I don't miss any of the battles.

>>713879514
BASED

>>713875530
I bet the Square Enix 'ethics' department loved that scene.

>>713879449

My absolute favourite part was when you play as tifa and help sort out retard clouds memorizes. Such an awesome and surreal sequence.

>>713879859
It's not often you see the kaiju actually defeated with a fucking canon to the face.

>>713857974 (OP)
The conversation around the Mako fountain in the Kalm flashback. I really liked it the first time, but I grew to love it even more, when I discovered it married VII to the series with its mysticism and spirituality.

Gameplaywise my favorite moment is the fight with Reno, Rude and Elena.

>>713878358
Can't have a big black character be funny or he'd be a comic relief only, he has to be wise and as non-niggerish as possible
When niggers are unapologetic niggerish they're funny. I even appreciate them, like for instance the black guy making E33 skits about parrying. No white person could have written or played that part, it had to be a black man. This is the same for Barret's role in the original.

>>713857974 (OP)
Gotta be Cloud's helmet reveal. Holy shit that's almost perfect story-telling since it ties the entire plot together making the water tower promise the even that bookends the game's events.

it's a big jooke to say you cried at Aerith's death, but I actually teared up a bit when they showed that Cloud never broke his promise, and he looked after Tifa there.

>>713857974 (OP)
The part where it's a full game that doesn't looks like Advent Children.

>>713881331
jokes on you dumbass I modded the game to use all the AC models/portarits

>>713881568

Gold Saucer

>>713876534
Can't believe they cut that out in the remake. All that graphical fidelity and for what?

I liked when Cloud has a ptsd episode and beats the hell out of Aeris.

>>713882262
The minigames sucked in the original though.

>>713884665
That's the usual opinion, but in terms of progression only CPR and warming yourself on the cliffs are permanently annoying. The rest are negligible and instant to solve, if you know the timing.

The good minigames are snowboarding, G-Bike, basketball, chocobo racing, Fort Condor and submarine* in that order.

VII's minigames are a success.

*) This takes enormous amounts of time to become true. (Also failing the single mandatory one nets you a better submarine and the "This is a dognapping!" line from Cloud, which is his best.)

>>713875882
>>713876037
>>713874998

Sephiroth/Jenova opened the gates because he's already planning to use Cloud to get the Black Materia. Hell, the entire reason Jenova broke out of Shinra HQ at that moment is probably that Sephiroth could sense Cloud's presence (via Jenova cells) when he approached the main body.

He doesn't seem to have full control over Jenova at this time though, because the fake Sephiroth is acting irrationally and doesn't recognize Cloud when they next meet on the ship.

>>713885606
>because the fake Sephiroth is acting irrationally and doesn't recognize Cloud when they next meet on the ship.
That's because Sephiroth doesn't care about Cloud pre-retcons.

they suck in rebirth too and there's way more of them and they take waaay longer and most of them aren't optional anymore.
also chocobo breeding is completely missing.

>>713886953
What, are you not allowed to leave until you play them all?

>>713857974 (OP)
The OG is still my favorite game ever.
Rebirth tried to ruin it but my love is untainted.

>>713857974 (OP)
CloTifags saying that their beloved moment is under the Highwind in 3..2..1..

>>713857974 (OP)
All the sequences where Cid was showing itself on his true form.

The Cloud-Aerith gondola moment, Red XIII knowing the truth about his father Seto. The moment when Cait Sith predict a future to Aerith and Cloud, just a moment before the Temple shrink into the Black Materia.

Tifa and Cloud under the high wind

>>713862490
yeah, I find it really intense even now that I have played it various times. All things missing in the Remake. They're unable to reproduce details like that.

>>713862974
Yeah, very magnificent.

That dream/vision Cloud has of Aerith before going to the Forgotten City.

>>713891502
>The Cloud-Aerith gondola moment,

and it's optional. Man they should have expanded the dating optiosn in future games.

>>713857974 (OP)
I'll go with a small moment I love that rarely gets brought up - when Elmyra's telling her story following the flower girl's capture, the flower girl suddenly calls out to Elmyra. It's confusing for a moment, but as the screen pans up to show the flower girl (as a kid) come down the stairs, when it edges back downward the Avalanche team has disappeared and we're back in the flashback. It's an elegant scene transition and early proof that even though FF7's presentation style was new for the team that the director knew exactly what he was doing from the start.

>>713864212
Same for me.

The part where Yuffie becomes my sex slave

>>713857974 (OP)
The 40 minute scene of sloppily making out with Yuffie's naval was pretty good.

>>713870141
I know exactly what you mean. I played it for the first time in 2023 as a grown man working in a soulless hospital. Literally surrounded by death and disease everyday, facing the reality of life constantly. I played the original FF7 on a whim as well because rebirth was coming out. There's so much love put into this game it was able to take my mind off of things for a little bit. My favorite game is Ocarina of Time, it's a core part of my childhood. I don't know how but FF7 was able to give me the same feelings as when I would play OoT as a child. I never thought that was possible and I honestly don't think it could happen again because FF7 is that special. I think it had such an effect on me because like I said I was completely depressed from dealing with the public that I almost needed to escape for a bit in a fantasy world, and while I had tried it with other books and games, it just felt like I was distracting myself, while with FF7 I was completely immersed. I'm really glad I played it and I now hold it at number 2 under OoT for my favorite games.

>cloud your hair looks like a chocobo!

>>713892874
>it's optional.
3 out of 4 is optional, only one is the default, guess which?

Even the UE4 internal gameasset IDs in this particular stage Aerith is prior to other 5 optionals.

Leaving Midgar and discovering the game had a world map with other locations, and seeing Midgar on it. I'd never played an rpg before.

>>713857974 (OP)
Barret punching Biggs directly into the camera.

>>713873485
It's hard to be horror in a game where your character can shoot giant murder beams on command

>>713858259
They deserve to be happy. Hope they get a kiss like the FFX scene

>>713879898
Can't wait for this in part 3 of remake. You just know they are going to go all out

>>713898705
For me, it's Tifa vs Scarlet

This was the moment where the game turned from an 8/10 to a 10/10 , absolute cinema

>>713897498
Why are you trusting an old as fuck magazine? I still remember magazines confusing dead or alive girls as well as getting other characters names wrong

I always loved the part where Cid becomes the party leader for a while. Everything that you can do while playing as Cid instead of Cloud or Tifa, you should, because it's pretty much all hilarious.

>>713897498
They’re all optional retard
>if you play normally
I played “normally” and got tifa

>>713857974 (OP)
Cloud beating up Aeris at the temple, and Scarlet slapping Tifa.

my 8 year old ass was soifacing so goddamn hard

I feel bad ff8 got a lot of cuts, wouldn't mind a remake with all the crazy shit they cut

>>713898995
NTA but everytime I've played (except maybe once) I 'normally' got Tifa. Barret for the lulz one time, and Aeris unsurprisingly

>>713899160
Not sure about what they cut, but I did hear the dev say something about wanting to make the S=D fan theory real if he had a chance to do it over again, which would be apex kino

Cloti wonned
CA? LOSTED...

>>713857974 (OP)
Aeris death.
I just like tragic characters. I think her death elevates her character into a more spiritual level in the history of video games.

>>713891502
>The moment when Cait Sith predict a future to Aerith and Cloud
Yep that's good too

>>713857974 (OP)
After replaying the game on and off for years since I was a kid, I still think the beginning until leaving Midgar is the strongest part of the game, I replayed it again a few years ago but I go bored once I got out of Midgar.
Granted the game is a true Masterpiece but I guess I eventually got tired or grew out of it.

>>713898856
>old as fuck magazine
Nah it's just something you illiterate cucks never heard from other equally illiterate cucks.

>Both the OG and the Remake ( >>713897852 ) programmer make Aerith prior to other three
>still think she's not the default
picrel

>>713898995
Normal play from real people ofc, not including illiterate cucks who trying to make a pure waifu out of a cheap whore knocked off from an actual eroge who only appeals to subhumans.

>>713903980
Ken Narita the chief programmer definitely thought the frankenstein created out of Nomura's fap materials disgusting back then.

For me this is one of the best vidya musics of all time

aeris schizo is here

The part where Cloud pulls out Yuffie's materia anal beads and lays pipe

>>713903980
whats with the
>her's

>>713864646
That first time you exit to the world map and the theme plays is amazing. The swell in the theme, on that shitty MIDI font they use, is burned into my brain and transports me right back...

Also, credit for my favorite line:
>Tifa
>I wonder what Aeris felt... when she was on that altar...?

>Cloud
>I'm sure she wanted to give her life for the planet...

>Tifa
>Really? I wonder? I don't think that's it at all.
>I think she didn't think she would die at all, but that she planned on coming back all along.
>She always used to talk about the 'Next time'.
>She talked about the future more than any of us...
>Although she never talked about it to us she must've had a rough life...
>I think Aeris looked forward to tomorrow and the future more than anyone...
>...she must've had many many dreams......

THIS exchange between Cloud and Tifa is the essence of the game to me.

>>713903980
>cheap whore knocked off from an actual eroge
Calm down flat roastie.

>>713875381
>He's cool, it's just that the game is so stacked in the good characters department
All I want for FF7 is a "full party mod" where you have everyone available at all times, with changes to enemies to make up for it, with the game reworked to have everyone's unique scenes.

Don't know how you'd do it, or if you even can, but that's what I want.

That you can legitimately read the game as Jenova being in control from the start to the very end.

>>713906086
If you don't read at all maybe

>>713905556
Back then, we could get by with just bruised knees

Isn’t that repeated thematic line from the original completely absent in the remake?

>>713898837
Oh god yes!
Fuck. Zoomers have no idea what it was like to be young and have experienced this game and moments like that.

>>713906220
Perhaps, perhaps not.

>>713906173
>this guy that got pwned by an incel is totally more powerful than a cosmic horror
>because, um, he said he is!

>>713905582
Irrefutable facts work on you shiteaters just as how DDT works on vermins is always hilarious

>>713906564
yup he doesn't read

>>713906860
Vermin is already plural esl-kun

>>713906860
Yeah roastie I'm sure Nanaki is like Scar

>>713906220
>Isn’t that repeated thematic line from the original completely absent in the remake?
RETARD

>>713906860
Plenty of designs are inspired by eroge, Saber has a lot of clones and those are not bad characters for coming from an eroge. Like they said above Nanaki design is a rip off of Scar, and FF2 Emperor design was copied from a pedo villain from some old movie.
Cloud design was inspired by Gohan and his wife was a martial artist who also wore white shirt and black pants so using your logic Cloud is a nerd and Tifa will be his girlfriend.
Also it's funny to see women like yourself calling other women whores just for being hot kek

>>713908489
Nomura has nice taste, Tifa is perfection

>>713908489
Don’t argue seriously with a schizophrenic. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience

>>713896430
I don’t remember this scene…

>>713908489
>Plenty of designs are inspired by eroge
Yes. Tifa ends up being the porn girl of Final Fantasy.

>>713908489
Fun fact Lum was the fanservice character in urusei yatsura but she got so popular she became the love interest and now shinobu

>>713908904
That always comes from popularity. Zelda and Peach have a lot of porn too and their characters are pure as well. Tifa is liked by everyone desu, coomers, chads and women. Pretty much like 2B, with her design inspired by maid x sadomaso but in the game she is a maiden who loves the shota, plus the creator asks for porn of her, despite the character being pure

I'm playing the game for the first time on an emulator. It's amazing. Reminds me why I love vidya

The motorcycle FMV really sold me.

>>713909406
I'm replaying it with mods like nino, looks great

>>713901956
>tifa malding off to the side

>>713909198
Cloud is so fucking lucky

>>713899103
Quit saying it like a goddamn pussy!

>>713909198
And none of literate real people ever thought this frankenstein created out of fap materials (including Ayumi Ito's underage nudity) has anything near to "pure".

Why are the most prolific schizos always ESL?

>>713910353
Too much lead in the drinking water

>>713910027
>See these schizos example
Again, that's just you roastie coping. 2B has even worse porn but it doesn't change the fact that the character is pure

>>713910027
>Literally looking for subhumans validation
This is why you are still single despite your old age

>>713911414
Oh I get it this is kinda like when Red hair man gives Luffy the straw hat.

>>713910353
When you have a rod in hand, you don't have to dogbark "perfectly" to make a dog understand the pain.
The steel hard fact that works on you like a rod is your sidebitch whorefu is as worthless as both illiterate gaijin coombrains and opinions came out of it.

no shit, those were all released within 10 years of FFVII.
Rebirth came out almost 20 years after VII.

>>713912624
You are not Japanese

My favorite part in the game is when you talk to this old man in Rocket Town, and he reminisces about the good old days. He's a kind old man, and gave his Sword to Cloud as a thank you for humoring him and hearing his story.

What a great, kind old man. I hope to be like him some day.

>>713857974 (OP)
Yuffie huggin' and cryin' in Clouds arms when Aerith went for a very not so brief swim. It was a very tender moment for me.

>>713860990
Man, hearing that really takes me back. I got it for my 14th birthday just one month after it released and no-lifed it until it was beaten. I remember at my birthday party there were like eight of us all huddled around the big CRT taking turns playing it, passing the controller every five minutes or so, all of our little minds blown that a game could look like that. A few months later my little sister accidentally saved over my end-game save file so I quickly beat it a second time then never touched the game again, I just wanted to know I had a save file at the end of the game for some reason.
Anyway that song gave me chills, thanks for the trip down memory lane.
