Zack and Biggs talk about how they are still alive - Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

Zack survives in reality 2 because of what OG Aerith did back at the end of Remake using her whispers to protect Zack and left behind a white feather as a hint that it's her.

Zack... is the type of person who knows his life isn't going to be as life fulfilling as the Husband with the Wife and Kids... yet he smiles on and fights through what life throws at him. It makes you realize how precious every moment of your life is, that if you let the pressure beat you down, you're gonna miss out on the Happiness that's right in front of you, Family Oriented or Not.

Zack repeating Angeal's words, 🥲

Biggs: Why are we still here? Just to suffer?

Initially, I didn't like Caleb's performance as Zack in Remake but after Crisis Core Reunion and his scenes in Rebirth, he's definitely gotten better.

Was really hoping Zack would form a team with the characters left behind, and just...dunno investigate those empty mako plants or cross blades with deep ground

I have a theory about why Zack and Biggs are still "alive". The truth is... They're not. The way Biggs describes his soul being sucked out of him implies that they're very much dead, and are in the Lifestream itself.

Loved the soundtrack in this scene

They’re really hearing out their fans… they continue on with the original plot, but chose what to go back to. One being they never left Midgar… this leads to the original game being their catalyst to what may be the happy ending most people wanted

I’m just hoping that Remake ending forced a divergence that pushed multiple timelines into multiple worlds with different consequences. Rebirth seems to show how it’s not necessarily multiverse theory in the traditional way rather these are worlds which are bouncing off from one another which would explain why some things don’t make sense, some events overlap or some characters are displaced within the time line in regards to how events are happening ie Cloud having been with the group in Zack’s world but the disruption causing Cloud to be displaced and with Zack. Which makes me think that perhaps the perfect situations for victory is what Sephiroth is doing just that Aeirth is also using that same opportunity to get the perfect situation for everyone. The sequel could head towards being a picking up the good “parts” of these worlds and making them the core basis when they all collide.

I haven't played Remake and Rebirth so I'm just theorizing here. I guess this is a new thing for the new story of FFVII where they're introducing some sort of Parallel world. Biggs and Zack are basically dead in the main world but for some reason they're transported in this alternate timeline that is almost the same as the main world but with few differences and so far 2 of them are the only one's aware of the whole thing. My another theory is, I guess once Aerith dies she would be transported in the alternate timeline as well to be with Zack... and MAYBE once Cloud is in a coma, he will be awaken in the alternate timeline since he's other self is also there but unconscious at the moment.

Biggs's jacket is fire. Where can I get something similar?

Originally I thought…when their “destinies” came in the original time line where they were supposed to die, once the whispers were destroyed, they were pulled into another timeline. One where everything happened the way it did originally until Zack died. The way Biggs talked to Zack about how he knew Cloud and told him about all the things his timeline’s Cloud did, I thought that seems to what is happening here. Which lead me to think, maybe Wedge, Jessie, and others who died are here too and maybe when someone(Aerith)dies in the original timeline, they’ll be transported here and it’ll become possible for them to come back somehow. But that’s not what ended up happening, at least not entirely. No, seems like there’s many alternate timelines, not just one. Still hoping that it’s possible for all those that died to come back that way though!

I'm still playing the game and hasn't reached this part yet. But from what I've seen, is this supposed to be E-2 Zack and E-1 Biggs from main timeline? I mean Biggs knows our Cloud while Zack obviously doesn't because E-2 Cloud still hasn't woken up yet.

Does anybody know the name of the song that plays here??

So now we have two Clouds and two Aeriths in that specific future timeline?

what chapters do you play as Zack because i don't remember?

I feel sad for Marlene ;-; and this song is so nice, still doing a good work on the osts
