I'm sick and tired of these FF7 fans who want/say that the FF7R Trilogy will be 100% like the OG
Ok, but if the trilogy is the same as the OG, then why go all the way to add the characters defying destiny? Why add Zack being alive in some parallel universe? Why add Aerith and Sephiroth knowing more than they should?
I think it would be pretty pointless to have the characters defy LITERAL DESTINY only for events to play the same as the original. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
The developers of FF7R specifically said that NEW MYSTERIES would be added to the trilogy, yet the themes of the story and key plot events will remain intact, it will just play out way differently than the OG. Nearly everyone in the FF7 fandom, including popular influences, agrees that things in FF7R will be changed. Even the developers of Remake said many contradictory statements about the game being the same as OG.
I'm going to die on this hill and you cannot stop me.
Sephiroth wing headcannons
Sephiroth goes through molting season
He can not fly during this time, everything hurts, and feathers are everywhere. It's an absolute mess.
He normally molts outside in a place less crowded with people. God forbid feathers get all over his clothes.
Baths help with loosening up his feathers. He uses a natural body of water if he can find one, He may also bring a ton of blankets to keep his temperature stable.
He has to vacuum his room twice a week. That's how many feathers he sheds
His wing is sometimes extremely sensitive, and he hates it when it is touched. He doesn't want to be seen as vulnerable, so he mostly keeps it tucked in and only gets it out as needed.
Now, if someone tries to RESTRAIN Sephiroth's wing, then hoo boy, that's a different story. Do that to him, and a different side of Sephiroth will show.
He sleeps using his wing as a blanket
Sephiroth sometimes prefers to wear loose-fitting clothes or no clothes at all, especially during molting season, to give his wing more space.
I cannot stop thinking about Cloud and Sephiroth jian bird symbolism.
A Jian bird is a mythical bird that possesses only one eye and one wing. We already see this in both Cloud and Sephiroth's Kingdom Hearts designs.
Another thing about Jian birds are that they are two halves of a whole, dark and light, yin and yang.
"These creatures are born imperfect, and they need to lean against each other and act as one in order to be able to fly. Their mutual dependence is eternal, lasting through death and rebirth."
This symbolism just SCREAMS Sefikura to me, like imagine the possibilities this has in store for the FF7R Trilogy.
And you know what they say, without their other half, someone is left feeling empty or should I say...hollow 👀
I would really want to know the general opinion about this topic. I respect all opinions so no need to come at me.
How Sephiroth time traveled in FF7 Remake: A🧵 of evidence
Advent Children music playing during Sephiroth-related scenes
He knows more things than the rest of the main cast (Aerith also knows things but not as much as Sephiroth)
Sephiroth got his famous wing in Advent Children, yet somehow he has it in the Remake (this is the biggest piece of evidence that Sephiroth time traveled)
Ok but if the Remake is really like some people say, the OG FF7 all over again, then how the heck does Sephiroth have his famous black wing when HE ONLY HAS IT IN ADVENT CHILDREN, WHICH TAKES PLACE AFTER THE ORIGINAL FF7?
Hallucination or not, Sephiroth guided Cloud so that he could meet Aerith, shows him The Edge Of Creation, asks Cloud to defy destiny, shows him and the party a vision of meteor, and says really cryptic lines, and I think these reasons are really telling peices of evidence that Sephiroth time traveled.
I just thought of something that many other people forget to point out about FF7R.
Now Cloud at the beginning of FF7R doesn't care about the planet, remember he is hiding behind his 'too cool' persona.
Here is what I realized.
I noticed how Sephiroth says some very cryptic things towards Cloud, so it got me thinking.
What is Sephiroth doing? He is TRYING to make him 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦.
He says things in Cloud's hallucinations like "our beloved planet is dying." and "The bonds that connect us will be no more, and I loathe to live in such a world"
Heck even during the Edge Of Creation scene, he SHOWS Cloud the result of what WOULD happen if the planet did die saying "our world will become a part of it, someday"
He then asks Cloud to help him defy destiny, not only to defy his fate but the fate of the planet as well. SOMETHING is causing the planet to die, and it isn't Shinra cause Aerith said so in one of her speeches.
It's destiny itself that is making the planet die, cause in the OG it WAS Sephiroth and the PATH HE CHOOSE that causes him to try and kill off the planet in the OG. But here's the thing. Sephiroth in the FF7 universe has free will, yet he needs HELP. He wants to break free from destiny's grasp like he's trying to do in the FF7R trilogy.
And so he turns to the one person he knows that can help him, the ONE PERSON who knows him better than anyone else. The ONE PERSON who can help save the world by his side.
That person is Cloud Strife
Sephiroth is trying not only to stop his cruel fate but he's trying to stop himself as well.
My unpopular FF7 opinions. (A thread)
Making Cloud's reason why he wanted to join SOLDER cause of Sephiroth will be much more impactful on the plot and Cloud's character arc as a whole. But this is just in the realm of headcanon
I want the FF7R Trilogy to move away from the original plot. It just doesn't make any sense to me that they will tell the same story again, like the party literally changed the course of destiny and the Whispers are literally RIGHT THERE. Also, the developers teased this as well from what I saw.
Sephiroth should sacrifice himself to save the planet. It will be so much more meaningful to his character, who is all about wanting to follow his own path and break free from the chains of his fate. It will make a perfect redemption arc if it even happens.
I personally think that Cloud and Tifa should just stay friends and that the developers can leave the shipping up to player interpretation. Besides, the game is not always about shipping.
I think that Hollow being about Zack and Aerith is a red herring. It isn't even about his true self either.
That is all I have for now. So please don't go after me, it's OK to have different opinions about something. You just have to be respectful! These are just my thoughts and feelings about FF7 and the Remake and I hope you enjoy them!

Disappointing conference from square this year, so here’s a small doodle of sephiroth. At least a lot of other cool games were shown. That’s something to look forward to.
Happy anniversary of the day that I met Sephiroth! 🖤🪶
“Sephiroth is coming to smash” has the same syllables as “Santa Claus is coming to town” and i expect y'all to adjust accordingly
"°•☁️ And there you'd be
Shining brightly... ✨️☄️•°"
I present to you, my very (crappy) analysis of my very own Time Travel Sephiroth theory (with a poorly drawn timeline).
This is just theory by this point but I believe the Sephiroth that we saw in Chapter 18 is actually the Original Sephiroth who traveled back in time to reshape destiny. As a defense mechanism the planet summons the Whispers to make sure fate stays on track. The Whispers are confirmed to be connected to the threads of space and time. This explains the visions of the future that the party and other people see, because Sephiroth time traveling altered the threads that the Whispers are connected to.
wip for a special someone’s special day! i should get it done in time hopefully lol
might not finish this but i added a little colour
