I read how the shot showing Aerith's boots was used as part of 'Jenova Aerith' theory (is it a weird shot?)🤔I wonder why?
But anyways, the shot is actually a pattern, usually used prior to whenever Aerith delivers very emotional lines. (see below)
The singer in Kalm sings about Golden Fireworks. Listen to it while thinking of the Gondola date:
a separation (last date)
letting go (fly away)
forgiveness of not being true (cloud's true self)
a confession that was withheld
I got the jp lyrics from
@pluvia_ca
Both Cloud and Zack made a promise to Tifa and Aerith respectively at the same water tower in Nibelheim.
The theme song of FF7 Rebirth is titled "No Promises to Keep"
I thought about comparing and contrasting the two promises and why the theme song is titled that way
Aerith runs back to check on Cloud, who seem to remember the sound of her humming with the sight of her leaving. Cloud turns away as Aerith checks him, hiding his tears.
Cloud looks so happy when Aerith pulled him in to take a photo. It really shows how he likes it when Aerith leads him in like this doesn't it?
Cloud's reaction as soon as Aerith pulls away (she is only turning around), does it seem he is worried she is stepping away?

At the end of Rebirth, Cloud is worried about Aerith staying behind. I thought it was reminiscent of Ch14 in remake so I stitched some of it together
Remake shows Aerith's fear that as a child, nobody came to get her as she called out. She tries calling her mom whom she lost.
Her time with Zack appears to repeat this experience.
Remake drives home the narrative that Cloud continues to come for Aerith despite resistance(1/2)
📽️ Aerith's expression when Cloud refuses to give up even after being told 'don't fall in love with me.'
Cloud, please save her this time!! Don't let her go~😭
Cloud was the person Aerith thought about when she was about to disappear.
She was going to disappear into the sky
But she saw Cloud
I'd like to think their love for one another ultimately saved the planet
Some words left by Aerith from the FF exhibition:
Cloud catches wind of Tifa & Aerith talking about Aerith's first love on the cruise ship. In the english version, there isn't any mention of 'first love' even the part before this clip.
"I can see you. You're crying. Come on, don't cry. You'll make it rain."
(FF 30th Anni Exhibit)
Aerith, please stay with Cloud so he doesn't cry and cause rain🥺
A few people told me Aerith has red in her eyes so Jenova Aerith. 🤔
I tried to look for it, but it looked like a pink reflection from the Tiny Bronco in front of her.
Cloud also has red stuff in his eyes but it is clearly a reflection...
人は必ず死ぬ
Everyone dies eventually
だから 正しく ちゃんと 自分らしく 生きなくちゃ
You have to live properly, fully, in a way that is true to yourself
一瞬、この一瞬を大切に
Each passing moment, cherish them
覚えておこう
I'll remember it
Aerith prepares Cloud for the future.

I thought it was interesting that Tifa said Cloud kept being invited, but he never came.
In reality, Cloud hung around them hoping someone would invite him.
So it seems the story will stick to how Cloud reads Tifa's memories to form the memory in remake.
Just some thoughts that could be entirely wrong:
Aerith may be saying this to not stir up anymore memories OR Zack never made it clear
Zack says, his favorite girl now(ichiban suki na ko)
#1
girl, it implies there are others, at least before Aerith?
Tifa goes up to Cloud and walks next to him.
Aerith goes in front of Cloud and tells him about the brassard. She notices the look on Tifa's face and turns back around?🤔
Aerith's hair is noticeably longer in this key art. In other key art, the length of her ponytail seems consistent.
It could be an artistic choice, but I think it is because her hair grew longer. Did her powers grow? Manipulating water sounds just like her powers in AC.
When asking who wants to play at the gold saucer, Aerith looks at Cloud first and back at Tifa. She sees Tifa is already looking for Barret's opinion.
Small detail but I think it shows Tifa's familiarity with Barret. Same for Aerith & Cloud.
I put together clips of remake where Cloud shows his frustration when others tell him to not go to Aerith. He then constantly reminds others of saving her. 🥹
Aerith and Cloud chatting in a flower garden at night. Aerith tries to spare Cloud of the heartache that comes with her fate by telling him not to fall in love with her. But Cloud presses on and tells her he's going to pursue her anyways.
Happy Valentines!

In Aerith's room, 2 types of flowers are on the carpet
Red roses for passion/romance
Forget-me-nots for true love
(keep your love in your thoughts)
Flower quest blue flower means family love. In JP, its labeled blue flowers. In EN its forget-me-nots...
📷 Aerith's expression after she hints that she's doing her best today because she's with Cloud.
Kudos to the animators for such detail and care for all these characters.
#Aerith
📸 Aerith and Cloud deliver flowers to the Leaf house.
Cloud tells Aerith that he'll wait for her.
"Got it, but wouldn't it be a boring?" She then sends him to explore the town.
But, but Cloud said he'd wait~ I think Cloud was expecting to still be around each other 😁
"I don't wanna go back! I wanna stay here with you!"
I'm predicting Cloud will say this in Part 3, Cloud has otherworldly experience again and finds the Aerith.
The same Aerith from last date(?) after Northern Crater and before Mideel part.

Cloud and Aerith create a bubble with rainbow colors. Likely in the bubble is part of another world.
The church flowers and part of the church benches disappear. I think this is because within the bubble is a different world.
Cloud peaks at Aerith, before being grabbed by Tifa.
Tifa breaks out of her shell a bit here because of Aerith.
I think their rivalry is one that is about character growth as Tifa compares herself with Aerith and tries to better express herself. (Ref. Tifa date dialogue.)
