It was believed that the Cetra could talk to the planet and knew where the Promised Land was. Ignorantly, Professor Gast mistook Jenova for a Cetra, and began running experiments to see if he could produce a Cetra in the present day. The Cetra were finally able to bury Jenova in the Northern Cavern where she laid dormant until Shinra found her. At the time, the prominent race was the Cetra and they suffered significant losses during Jenova’s attacks. Thousands of years before the events of Final Fantasy VII, an extraterrestrial being known as Jenova landed on Gaia and began to attack its people. Sephiroth is easily one of the most recognizable video game characters of all time and understanding his backstory sheds more light on Final Fantasy VII’s story as a whole. I would argue that this is weak enough not to be counted by itself as good evidence, even weakly.We have taken a look at a lot of Final Fantasy VII protagonists like Aerith, Tifa, Vincent, and Cait Sith, but this week we wanted to switch gears a bit and take a look at Sephiroth. Either way, it would seem Aerith has a very good read on Cloud's personality by this point. On it's own, not much, but lines up well with similar references, especially those in Chapters 14 & 18.Īlso, after looking at the phrase more in detail, it looks like the "Two peas in a pod" line from the scene with Oates in Chapter 8 is likely referring to Oates and Cloud sharing similar characteristics. Even though she possibly knows it needs to happen. This is in line with her later references to the same topic about living in the moment and changing the future. Scene: Aerith tries to cheer up Tifa about the prior conversationĪerith tries to cheer Tifa up by telling her the future isn't set in stone (weak) This one's rather explicit, with Aerith being dodgy and only being saved by Cloud interrupting them. : Aerith, what are you not telling me? : Huh? Scene: The team prepares to cross the pontoon bridgeĪerith seems to know the plate will come down when questioned by Tifa (medium) This one's not much on its own, but combined with the next two starts to say something. And if it turns out he was lying, then so what? Right? : Hmm? : And there's still a chance he was, isn't there? Then.we should go. She even repositions herself to be even closer to the middle afterward (which is most evident if you wait too long to answer Corneo).Īerith is the one that convinces the crew to go check on the pillar rumor (weak)īut.if he was telling the truth. Aerith stops as the team is following her directly near the edge of the trap door such that the other team members are squarely on top of it. Here Aerith is the one to get the party moving after hearing Shinra's plan from the Don (Tifa does this in the OG). Scene: Party is getting ready to leave Don Corneo before being dropped into the sewersĪerith leads the party and stops them on Corneo's trapdoor (weak)Ĭome on, guys! We've gotta go!

She knows the "him" in question is Don Corneo, which is a bit unlikely given the the broad range of people "him" could apply to, not to mention that she knows Tifa would be meeting him in a mansion filled with his Goons. When she does walk up, she acts as if she has heard the entire thing.

Aerith is farther away than the driver, so it's nearly impossible she would have heard. This one's only interesting when you account for the fact that Tifa is trying to keep her conversation with Cloud quiet. And where's she going to meet him? A mansion filled with his his goons. It doesn't matter how strong or smart you think you are. : She's a big girl, she can handle the likes of him. Scene: Cloud and Aerith see Tifa riding to Wall Market in the carriageĪerith knows Tifa's plan despite not having heard it (medium)
