Promised Land

FF7 study

[Promised Land @Terrryle]

The FF7 Revelation title animation has a rainbow ring that spreads out.

We see this in Remake and Rebirth when a portal to an alternate world opens.

The Revelation title has a copy text that merges into one.

I think it suggests alternate worlds will merge into one.

The last part of the FF7 Revelation trailer appears to be a tease for Cloud meeting Aerith again.

It looks like the Forgotten Capital too, where Aerith should be. I'm wondering if only Cloud can see and that's why everyone behind him is just watching like that?🤔

FF7 Revelation trailer-

In JP, Cloud says "Let's save the planet"

In EN, Cloud says "I promise"

I think this led to confusion and different interpretations about Aerith & Zack. I think its dialogue directed at Cloud's group companions after his recovery.

I thought it was interesting that Tifa said Cloud kept being invited, but he never came.

In reality, Cloud hung around them hoping someone would invite him.

So it seems the story will stick to how Cloud reads Tifa's memories to form the memory in remake.

Zack invites Cissnei to dinner.

The chronology of this memory is after Zack met Aerith.

[Promised Land @Terrryle]

I realized Valentines day is 7 days after Aerith's birthday!? 7... coincidence?

I put together a few clips of the Aerith's dream date. Happy Valentines!💝

[Promised Land @Terrryle]

@Shunkiroth Yeah, and my response was that he won't find out much because Aerith probably won't say anything.

Tifa has talked to her in Kalm about it, Aerith hasn't said a word about it and continues not to say anything as seen in the date. Hope that makes sense.

[Promised Land @Terrryle]

Tifa thinks Cloud and Aerith are something else than just friends.

In this scene, Tifa says her friendship with Aerith is the reason that she should talk to Aerith and not Cloud.😳

[Promised Land @Terrryle]

@Shunkiroth Well, I thought about this too, but Tifa already told Aerith in Kalm about Cloud not being in Nibelheim.

You can infer that Tifa told Aerith to leave it to her, since Aerith has never said anything, even during the date.

If Cloud tells Aerith, I don't think Aerith would press.

[Promised Land @Terrryle]

The ultimania describes Tifa recognizing the unique bond between Cloud and Aerith. So it's not that Tifa thinks Cloud isn't close with Aerith in this clip.

I wasn't sure to use this source since I'm not sure if Tifa's complicated feelings about Aerith is like that in Rebirth.

[Promised Land @Terrryle]

In conclusion, I think Tifa's action for wanting to talk to Aerith is to protect her.

Why Tifa uses her friendship with Aerith as the reason Cloud shouldn't talk to Aerith?

It is interpretative, but definitely Tifa understands there's a special bond between the two.

[Promised Land @Terrryle]

Aerith says Zack has a lot of "girlfriends." It's said as a loanword in JP.

In EN, the word is more serious so you wouldn't say a ton or a lot.

I think the use of the loanword is more generalized or casual. Where its okay if there's a ton of girls or female friends.🤔

[Promised Land @Terrryle]

Zack talks about the girl he likes the most "currently."

If its interpreted that Cissnei is the current girl, its worth noting the events after this moment.

Zack became a fugitive later and Cissnei is a Turk. It's good to consider this to understand his actions.

⑩Zとの回想
★日本語版の英訳
Don't you have any childhood friends? Maybe a cute girl? By the way, wanna hear about the girl I like the most right now?

Zにガールフレンドが複数いたのは原作でも語られており、CCでも色んな女の子に声をかけているので、一貫したZの設定である。
