Here's the dealio: I think Cloud saving Aerith had real tangible consequences, with a catch.
Her fate has A LOT to do with dreams and defying fate, and if you think I hate Aerith and want her to die, this might change your mind.

I don't want to sound rude, but it blows my mind that there are people who genuinely believe the only reason the FFVII Remake trilogy exists is because the writers didn't like who the main character ended up with IN THE STORY THEY WROTE and decided to make 3 games to change that.

If your theorycrafting alienates new audiences then your theory might need adjusting.
2 things:
-The highlighted sentence is my absolute favorite from Hamaguchi ever.
-New players are absolutely at the center of whatever messages contained by the trilogy. I can't overstate how important that is in theorycrafting.
Bruh.
Does this outright confirm that the original battle between Cloud and Sephiroth takes place inside his head? Angeal has "dreams" in a similar looking place in FS, but they're Jenova corrupted as we know.
That flashback might be what LSS flashbacks look like, and is similar to the flashbacks that Sephiroth and Angeal get in Ever Crisis.
A new feature in Revelation which I haven't seen any talk about:
When you have enough to do a synergy ability, you now get a small notification that lets you know it's is ready for those characters.
Small change but so useful, I kept delaying them for no reason in Rebirth.
The FF7 shipping community is fascinating.
Either side always ends up infuriated by claims that might vaguely challenge their headcanons.
I've never seen a bunch of theory bros brigade a take they disagree with, yet it happens with shipping factions every single time.
The usual suspects will obviously brigade this for their own agendas, but the song being either about Cloud's resolution, Tifa's role in it or everyone's (including her) is possibly the most logical and straightforward guess.
I expect the theme to be tied to the LSS big time.

It will probably be about what the FF7 story really is about: the resolution of Cloud's arc.
Possibly something to work as a mirror to Hollow.
Wouldn't be surprised at all if it's about Tifa considering her importance to Cloud's arc either.
Let me say this in the nicest way possible: there is 0 chance that the part 3 theme song is about Sephiroth or from his point of view.
This is just totally besides the point. FFVII is Cloud's story.
Just to be clear, I don't personally think this mea's we get a Sephiroth redemption arc or a different "fate" for him. I still think the best we can get is a realization and acceptance to let go more rhan anything else, and that's optimistic.
Hamaguchi outright just confirmed that he only carries a PS5 controller and play tests the game remotely to his developper's kit.
That's so cool.
Hamaguchi just said in Paris that the final fight vs Sephiroth will be representative of "all the games", and that given he's not an "absolute" villain and that he does things for his own reasons, this will be felt through the final battle, which will be surprising.
@LandiLodge this sounds A LOT like your idea of reenacting all the past and future fights with Sephiroth through time.
I think that I have just finished watching the most important Final Fantasy video I've ever come across.
Can't recommend enough.
