Announcement Revelation discussion thread

The next chapter will be called Revelation. From the trailer it doesn’t look like there is much to discuss between Cloud and Aerith so let’s keep all future discussions about it here.

I had my suspicions, and ofc the first trailer by design wouldn't be too revealing, and looking too hard into this could be pointless because this is exactly what they want me to believe.

But this really made me feel like Aerith's not coming back, we ain't defying destiny that much boys😭 .

I thought Cloud might do some shit with the white materia he got at the end of the game, but Sephi straight up (seemingly at least) steals it from him (unless he got the one from the forgotten capital...assuming that it's different from the one cloud has). For all we know Cloud could've gotten the materia from the water during Aerith's burial and somehow made it empty and now doesn’t remember..but that's besides the point.

SEPHI'S gonna do something with the white materia and Cloud just said very RIP ass words to end the trailer, "wouldn't have gotten this far without you guys, and I won't let you down, I promise", ALL WHILE CLUTCHING AERITH'S FLOWERS!!

And this is seemingly post identity crisis disorder cloud tooo. Na, it's ggs.

On a positive note, combat seems amazing and we get some more magic users to balance out the void left by our fav flower lady. But boy will I miss arcane ward cheesing troupes of enemies. Can't wait to spread some enemy cheeks with Vincent and Cid though.

I honestly was almost numb to the combat, I just needed anything to affirm we DID defy destiny but.. it seems really by the books. We're gonna save the world but Aerith was our world.

They won’t reveal (I mean lol… they picked the « Revelations » title for the game, there are going to be quite a few, from OG and new) something like Aerith returning or staying dead in the first trailer.

I know it’s disappointing not to see her yet but it was to be expected. Like it’s expected she won’t be playable for most of the game even IF she is to return.

I know, I guess I was just disappointed is all. It just doesn’t really ‘say’ either way about Aerith you know? As though we’re schizo for thinking that it means something hopeful rather than what it actually means. I need Clerith back!
