<h2 class="anchor-target" > preface</h2>
After recently completing Final Fantasy 7-RE, there are a lot of ideas, after all, this game has been out for so many years, and there are many derivative works, and everyone likes this work very much. Here I would like to make a record of the storyline myself, so as not to forget some details later. (There are a lot of spoilers, please avoid the viewers themselves)
< h2 class="anchor-target" > series of works and derivatives</h2>
First of all, we must sort out all the previous Final Fantasy 7-related games, animations, and other stories.
<h3 class= "anchor-target" > Crisis Core</h3>
The CC story takes place 7 years ago and tells the story of Zack Fair and Angeal Hewley, who is also a friend and teacher, as well as the story of meeting Claude and becoming friends during the mission. At first, Zack was a 2nd Shinra soldier, but eventually became the 1st through hard work. The 1st was originally three people, Sephiroth, Genesis, and Angel, who were the warriors created by Project S and Plan G of Shinra Corporation, respectively. Plan S is to inject Jenova factor into embryos before birth, and Plan G is to inject Jenova factor into the subject (Angel obtained from the subject's mother), and it is found that only Plan S is successful, and the subjects of Plan G will eventually deteriorate. (PS: Only Angel is white-winged, the other two 1st are black-winged.) ）
As the story progresses, it can be known that because of the deterioration of Plan G, Geneses flees, Angel disappears, and Zacks goes to investigate. Zacks then falls from the sky to recognize Alice and develops into a delicate relationship between lovers. Angel is killed by Zacks while learning of his origins, and entrusts the sword of destruction to Zacks (Zacks finally entrusts the sword to Claude). Later, in Nibelheim, after Sephiroth learned in Thernassie's mouth that he was also a shenluo experimental object, he went to the basement to see the experimental records, and the scientists at that time thought that the Jenova dug out of the ground was an ancient species (in fact, it was not, Dr. Gast --- Alice's father, after meeting Alice's mother, he learned that the real ancient species was not Jenova's, but before he could update the information, he was killed by Shinro), and planned to copy it in batches. Causing Sephiroth to think that everyone had taken the planet from his mother, there was a massacre of the village. Later, Zacks and Claude were captured by the treasure strip to do the experiment, and Claude, who had soaked in water for half a day, was confused, and Zacks rescued him and escaped all the way, dying in the wasteland outside Midgar.
It should be noted here that the relationship between the three 1st is quite interesting, and the dialogue between them is not as cold as the Safiros in this biography, but like a friend and a competitor. In addition, the three 1st are monsters (whether it is a lot of doppelgangers or combat effectiveness, etc.), which shows that 1st is really strong, and Zacks, a normal person, can be a 1st is really powerful.
<h3 class= "anchor-target" > Before Crisis (before the crisis</h3>).
The BC story takes place 6 years ago in this biography, 1 year after CC, and tells the story of Shinra and the Five Taiwan Wars, after which Shinra won and became the ruler of the world economy, military, and politics with the help of magic energy. The anti-Shinra organization Avalanche believes that Shinra is encroaching on the planet, so it must rise up against Shinra.
The whole game is actually about the story between Turks director Wild Veld and Elf Elfe, the leader of the Avalanche Organization at the time, and finally their father and daughter met. In the process, many characters were introduced, including tuckers who actually had a lot of members at the time, and finally died a few. Director Wilder was contemporaneous with Vincent, and Zacks's girlfriend, Cissnei, was also a member of Tuckers. As a child, Elf was caught by treasure strips for experiments, implanted magic stones in her arms, and finally began to collapse.
It should be noted here that the Avalanche Organization is actually the organization behind the financial support of Rufus, the goal is to kill the boss of Shenluo (Pit Daddy), Tux is subordinate to the Ministry of Public Security, but it is actually the Einsatzgruppen commanded by Lufas himself.
<h3 class="anchor-target">Last Order</h3>
The cartoon, which tells the story of Tuckers's pursuit of Zacks and Claude, is interspersed with the time when Sephiroth grabs Jenova and falls into the magic furnace.
<h3 class="anchor-target" > FF7 biography</h3>
The original story of this biography is roughly as follows:
Blow up Furnace No. 1, Blow Up Furnace No. 5, Trap After Claude Falls Down Zone 5, Meets Alice, Goes to District 6, Falls into The Drain, Comes Out of the Abandoned Car Yard, Disc Falls, Saves Alice, Climbs the Tower of Shinra, finds Alice and Red 13 who is preparing to breed with Alice, is caught, wakes up to find Shinro slaughtered by Safiros, hits Rufas on the roof, fights tanks downstairs, drives away from Shinra, reminisces about the Nibelheim Incident in Kalm, wanders around on a large map (meets the robot cat Reeve and Barrett's one-armed friend, There was also the hometown of Crimson 13, learned about astrology), after visiting a few small villages, I went to Nibelheim, found that it was not burned, and also met Vincent, learned of "reunion", and then chased the plot of Sapphiros all the way. After encountering yuffie and the playground and other plots, he comes to the temple and finds Sapirus absorbing ancient knowledge and wants to ascend, and after a round of fighting, he gets the Black Magic Stone, but Claude uncontrollably gives the Dark Magic Stone to Sephiroth and then passes out. In the dream, Claude meets Alice, who wants to deal with Sephiroth alone. After waking up, she searched for Alice all the way to the City of Oblivion. Inside, Alice is found to be launching the Holy Front, and is immediately stabbed to death by Sephiroth, who later buries Alice in water in the Lake of the Forgotten Lands.
The group travels to the Icicle Inn in the Snowy Mountains, learns about Dr. Geist and Ifaluna (Ifalna イファルナ), and learns that the ancient species Cetra built weapons to deal with Jenova, and sealed The weapons slept. Continuing to climb the snowy mountain, meeting Sephiroth at the top of the mountain, and after the battle continuing to chase into the pit, Claude hallucinated Nibelheim, found that he was not in the events of that year, and then gave the Dark Magic Stone to Sephiroth. Tifa wakes up to find that Sephiroth has launched the meteorite summoned by the Dark Magic Stone, and then the god Luo blames the avalanche and imprisons Tifa in the gas room, Barrett and the cat come to the rescue, the weapon attack punches the room, after escaping, Tifa fights with Scarlet, and finally Cid drives a boat to pick everyone up. Then sail back to the Snow Mountain Hotel to find Claude, and find that he is too deeply poisoned and muddy, and Tifa decides to stay at the clinic to take care of him. Sid and Barrett go to help cats find materials, crash the train back to the clinic, encounter a large plane attack, and then Tifa takes Claude down the fountain of life, enters Claude's memory, and then begins to recall Claude's past, recalling his past as a soldier for Tifa, backstabbing Sephiroth, Claude retrieves himself and returns to the team. After that, it was to go to the underwater magic furnace, then drive the ship to chase the material, go back to Rocket City to drive a rocket to hit the meteorite, and the result failed. The group returns to find Crimson 13's grandfather, learns in the Forgotten Capital that there is a key that can save the planet, and then goes to the underwater cave to get the key, preparing to go back to Midgar, meet a Gundam and then go to war, and then Gundam and Midgar's cannons shoot each other. After that, he went back to Midgar to stop the treasure strip from firing the second cannon (the cannon needed to frantically extract the magic cannon), and then climbed the stairs, and the roof of the building to fight the treasure bar, learned that Sephiroth was his own son, and went to find Sapphiros after the treasure bar.
Prepare for the final battle for Sephiroth. The side line discovers Vincent's story, including Lucrecia's CHAOS project at the time, which results in the CHAOS factor rampaging, Vincent's father dying to save her, resulting in Lucrecia hiding from Vincent and marrying The Treasure Bar, who is caught by the Treasure Bar as an experimental subject, living better than dying, and giving birth to Sapphiros. Vincent looked for the treasure bar theory, was knocked down by the treasure bar and arrested as an experimental subject (the experiment failed, Lucrecia injected him with the CHAOS factor in order to save Vincent, and dc learned it). Then there's the plot to kill Sephiroth, the meteorite falls on Midgar, Alice summons the power of the planet to resist the meteorite with the Fountain of Life, and 500 years later, Crimson 13 returns to the cliffs outside Midgar with 2 offspring.
In simple terms, Claude became a soldier, soaked in water after the Nibelheim incident, lost himself, pursued Sephiroth under the action of the Jenova factor, and later met Barrett, Tifa, Alice and others. Following Avalanche to fight Against Shinra, he discovers various transformation plans to stop Sephiroth's Reunion, but after Alice's death, she is controlled by hallucinations all the way to Claude, and after Tifa awakens him, the party prevents the meteorite from falling.
In fact, the story content of this biography is still very rich, not only the main line is deep layer by layer, the hometown background and character of most of the team members are portrayed again, and there are many side lines, there are entertainment, there are serious, so that people can delve into the reasons for the story. After all, the scope of Shenluo's research is too wide and too wide, sooner or later there will be accidents, even if it is not the success of Sephiroth's experiment, the magic energy of the planet will also be consumed, but Sephiroth has accelerated the destruction of the planet, and Lufas himself is also a correction of Shenluo.
<h3 class = "anchor-target" > Advent Children</h3>
The AC story takes place 2 years after this legend, although Sephiroth died, but Sephiroth's factor did not disappear (Jenova factor has long existed, but does not cause star disease), telling the mind body to find Jenova's head, and then want to reunite out of Sapiros, and finally Claude stopped him, Alice healed everyone with holy water.
<h3 class= "anchor-target" > The Dige of Cerberus</h3>
The DC story takes place 3 years after this biography and tells the story between Vincent and Lucrecia. After the collapse of Shinra, Reeve founded the WRO World Reconstruction Organization, and DeepGround, the underground organization of Shinra, began to appear. The goal of DG is the ancient magic crystal in Vincent's body (which can restrain the CHAOS factor from going on, and use the magic crystal to awaken Omega to destroy the planet (in fact, it is to gather the life of the entire planet and reincarnate into the universe, similar to the reincarnation of the planet itself to the fountain of life, and the universe also has a reincarnation system). Shelke, on the other hand, is affiliated with DG, and as the story progresses, he recognizes his sister, betrays DG, and finally helps Vincent regain the ancient magic crystal. (It should be said here that DG transformed Sherk, she has a lot of memories of Lucrecia, and tells a lot of things about Vincent from her mouth) And then it is Vincent who transforms into Chaos to defeat Omega, the planet returns to its original appearance, and Midgar blows up again.
This work basically completes the background of Vincent's story, tells the tragic emotional relationship between him and Lucrecia, and of course, digs a big hole, that is, Genesis in CC is not dead, and there may be a new pit.
<h3 class= "anchor-target" > the way to a smile (about Denzel's OVA</h3>).
The cartoon is about Denzel's family background, and after the AC story, Denzel wants to join WRO, which itself has no major connection with the main line.
<h3 class="anchor-target">FF7-Remake</h3>
The plot of the remake is briefly introduced as follows:
Blow up the No. 1 furnace, when the universal helper, drive a motorcycle to the arsenal, blow up the No. 5 furnace, fall under the trap of District 5, meet Alice, go to District 6, fall into the sewers, come out of the abandoned car yard, fall the disc falls, save Alice, climb the Shenluo Mansion, rescue Alice and Crimson 13, be played by the treasure strip, see Jenova in the labyrinth, come out to meet The Safiros Slayer, hit Lufas on the roof, fight tanks downstairs, drive away from Shinra, enter the Fate Point, and fight Sephiroth at the end of the world.
The new plot is probably more jesse driving a motorcycle, the data collected by the treasure bar after climbing the Shenluo building, and the part where he leaves Midgar to fight Fira and Sapphiros. The remake adds the ghost of Fira's corrected story direction, and at the same time, Sephiroth, who should not have known Claude, obviously knew Claude, and the ancient species that should have been spoken from the mouth of the president of Shinra seemed to have been clear to Alice herself very early. There is also the ending of the plot that Zax looks like should be won, plus the theme song of Zacks at the end, which is obviously the rhythm of resurrection.
<h2 class="anchor-target" > personal conjecture</h2>
Combined with the above works of FF7, let's sort out the various differences of FF7Re.
The first is whether Alice has crossed, personally I feel that people have not crossed, thoughts have crossed.
The second is whether Sephiroth has crossed, personally I feel that people have not crossed, and thoughts have also crossed.
Again it's Claude, obviously too different from the original Claude, his memory is not much like the original Claude, he knows a lot of things, including Shinra's underground human trial project, including Jenova is his mother (the plot of the elevator doorway)
Let's analyze it, assuming that Alice is the original Alice, if she travels back, then she should know the development of the story directly, change the key characters from the beginning, and stop everything from happening, but she did not. FF7Re she only knows Phila, and Sephiroth to destroy the planet. And Sephiroth's crossing, it is even simpler, come back and directly know where Jenova is, directly snatch and then summon the meteorite, there is no need to repeat the plot, and there is no need to invite Claude to change the world at the end.
The following is my personal guess, the original story did happen, in the movie version of AC, the cause of the star mark is the Sephiroth factor, not Jenova, bubble Jenova will not be a star mark, but become a monster. Then the AC story finally wiped out the only body of thought, and Sephiroth left behind a sentence that I would not become a memory. There must be a reason why this sentence was uttered. After Sephiroth is defeated, his factors enter the fountain of life, and the air will affect ordinary people. We know that the life cycle on the planet is to return to the fountain of life after death, the ancient species cetra will still have their own thinking after going back, originally Jenova would not use spiritual communication, it was Sephiroth who absorbed the knowledge of the ancient species in the original version, and after combining with Jenova, Jenova also learned spiritual communication. So, if the original Alice had told Alice in FF7Re through the Fountain of Life, wouldn't Sephiroth have been able to tell the replicators in FF7Re, including Claude, through the Jenova factor. There is no Fira in the original version, and Alice does not know what is wrapped around her at the beginning, but the first encounter with Claude is also the picture of the Fountain of Life, and the message to Alice is to reunite (goodbye). Later, in Alice's house, she never understood what Huanghua told her, could it be that the original Alice wanted to tell her all kinds of information through Huanghua? In addition, the original Alice met Marlene, Marlene saw that it should be Alice dead and guarding the planet of the picture, FF7Re's Marlene, saw a high probability is a different picture, but unfortunately Alice a boo gesture with it. After encountering Crimson 13 and learning about Fira, Alice at this time also knows what Fira is, so she will finally say that she will reverse her fate. After rewriting the story, the original Alice can no longer pass on the known story to Alice of FF7Re through the Fountain of Life, so Alice shows a hint of hesitation before entering the qi point. Let's talk about why the sephiroth factor crossing is speculated, since the original Alice can transmit information back through the fountain of life, can Sephiroth, who has entered the fountain of life, also be able to transmit information back and forth through the fountain of life? Apparently, a replicant of Sephiroth, who possesses the Jenova factor, will pass him a message when he meets Claude (with the plot that happened in the previous original), leading him to Jenova's body, and claude will obviously say it as a Jenova factor when he says the mother. Why this is the case, I'll explain it later in the paragraph. Let's first talk about the fate that Claude and his party changed when they escaped Fromdgar, a lot of Fira wrapped around the headquarters of Thera, at this time Sephiroth can control these Fira, Alice also said that these Fira are the cries and cries of the dead (will this be the people in AC who died because of the star marks?). Sephiroth only cares about himself and the planet, and doesn't take Fira seriously. Combined with the 7 seconds before the final battle of the planet, because Sephiroth knew that his AC would absolutely be destroyed, he used the Fountain of Life to go back to the past to Claude, who still had his own factor at the time, to rewrite this ending.
Let's talk about Zacks, the clip where Zacks didn't die, there were a lot of Firas outside Midgar at that time, but the timeline of Claude's battle with a large group of Firas obviously happened after Zax sent Claude into the city, so what happened inside Midgar at that time was different from the original? Here we don't know, but what we can know is that Alice read what happened to Zax from the rain, so she said that it didn't feel good, so Zacks estimated that there would be something not very good happening on the way back to the city. Because Zacks is not dead, Claude has a headache when he hears Zacks's name in the park, and the original version has no problem hearing Zacks's name. It was the Jenova factor in Claude's body that forcibly sealed or deliberately hidden his memory, causing Claude to recall the changed plot, and the Above-mentioned Claude was actually dominated by the Jenova factor. Given that Zacks is not dead, but has not yet appeared, it is estimated that the second part will be slowly explained, coupled with the theme song at the end, I speculate that Zacks should be the key to awakening Claude, while reuniting with Alice and guiding her.
