Cloud's face snapping back to himself after almost killing Tifa, then dropping his weapon and screaming her name is devastating.

Tifa asking Cloud to promise he'll save her when they're kids becomes the emotional anchor for his entire character arc. She literally asks him to be her hero before he even knows what kind of hero he wants to be.

The music shift after Cloud's breakdown into the Lifestream sequence is genius. You go from total chaos to this perfect calm that matches the underwater dreamscape.

Watching the Shinra infantry get slaughtered feels bad after meeting the 7th Infantry soldiers in Junon. "Never leave a man behind" suddenly makes these grunts feel like real people instead of nameless enemies.

That slow motion shot of Tifa falling into the Mako isn't just dramatic flair. Watch Cloud's eye in that moment. It opens wide like he's suddenly snapping out of the trance.

The floating rocks in Cloud's Lifestream sequence show these memories are anchored to the planet itself. Tifa's the link keeping him connected to the Lifestream. That's why Sephiroth targets her.

The water tower promise from when they were kids ties directly into the bedroom conversation.

Tifa made Cloud promise to save her because that's what heroes do.

Tifa asks Cloud to save her on the water tower, then again on the bridge.

Cloud literally just tried to murder her instead...

Cloud gets this indifferent smirk and then casually tilts his head side to side to dodge bullets that whiz right past him.

That moment was incredible.

Cloud loses control to Sephiroth at the Gongaga reactor, and the black whispers vanish.

Tifa tries to stop Cloud but ends up in the Lifestream after a “Weapon” swallows her.

What does it mean?

The entire Weapon sequence is literally a Jonah and the whale story.

Tifa enters that mouth as one person and exits completely changed.

The Lifestream showed Tifa the actual truth about what happened in Nibelheim.

She finally understood what Cloud really meant to her as a friend growing up and now as adults.

Tifa's survival in the Lifestream isn't just about the people who love her. That vision of Cloud walking toward Sephiroth gives her a mission.

That conversation between Cloud and Tifa at Cissnei's house might be the most perfectly written scene in FF7 Rebirth.

The Gongaga section is mostly cutscenes, and honestly that's perfect for what they're doing. This is where Cloud completely loses it.

Rebirth takes you to all the classic locations from the original game, but now they're building toward something bigger.

All of it sets up Cloud's mental breakdown.

The Gongaga Reactor scene hits at the exact midpoint of the entire trilogy, not just Rebirth. Square Enix planned Cloud's breakdown to land halfway through a three-game arc.

I love how they use Mako in this remake — it’s not just an energy source, but also something soldiers carry within them. Cloud’s greatest strength and weakness both come from the Mako inside him.

Cloud's breakdown in Rebirth is genuinely terrifying.

When Sephiroth tells him to "murder these soldiers" and you watch Cloud just give in?

It's a Palpatine moment - you're watching him fall to the dark side in real time.

Is Sephiroth secretly a Palpatine?

Will there be a Final Fantasy X Star Wars crossover?

It happened with Magic The Gathering...just sayin'...
