Ok #FinalFantasyVIIRemakespoiler This thread is my theory as to what is going on in #FinalFantasyVIIRemake that lead to the ending we all saw. This is just a theory that I came up with and is no way fact... yet. If you haven't finished the game do not read this thread. 1/
For those that didn't know what to make of the ending of FF7R here is my theory as to what exactly is going on. First let me preface with the fact that if you haven't played Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia, then some of what I have to say may not make sense to you. 2/
. In DFFOO the heros of FF7, including Zack, are in the service of the Goddess Materia. They were taken at different points in time. This goddess can also erase your memory as you later find out in the game. 3/
All of the characters who are in service to her have had their memories wiped so they don't know what happened prior to their arrival. only bits and pieces. Eventually, some characters are able to get their memories back. 4/
While the story has not concluded, here is my theory as to what may be happening here. During the course of DFFOO you find that the god Spiritus has not removed the memories the villains he has enlisted. This includes Sephiroth. 5/
Sephiroth seems determined to change how things ended with him. Considering that the Gods are willing to return the warriors back to their world, it is possible sephiroth was returned at a certain point in time with his memory intact. 6/
This is why he knows the timeline and wants to change it. If you notice though, Aerith also knows the timeline. One give away is the scene where she asks cloud if he had any friends while in soldier and he said no. 7/
She knows this is a lie because Aerith, Zack, and Cloud met up in Materia's world. When she was returned, she somehow retained those memories. Everyone else seemed to have forgotten about being on Materia's world. 8/
But throughout the game, Cloud is slowly regaining those memories. One dead give away was the scene where he spontaneously starts to cry. This was him subconsciously remembering Aerith's death. Another hint is when Sephiroth creates that portal. 9/
In the world the Materia created, those portals are called Torsions. These Torsions are tears in the fabric of space-time created by a force unknown. Some of the characters eventually learn how to create these and use them to travel not just between locations, 10/
but dimensions as well. As I stated this is just a theory since DFFOO story has not yet concluded. But it's what seems to fit. End thread
