How did he travel back in time?

How did he travel back in time?

Why is he obsessed with cloud asking him if he dreams of him?

he is God

Apparently becoming part of the lifestream gives you access to time travel. The whole obsession thing really got hammed up in KH and all the compilation and it's warped public perception of him since. I don't recall it being that bad in Dissidia either, though Cloud was still a little mopey.

Cloud was pretty alpha on this I can’t imagine him being mopey

It was the goddess, Etro, fucking things up again.

Advent Children made them forget how to write cloud until the remake happened

She was only supposed to put him in as a dlc boss in the waifu game. Etro is such a shit deity.

>How did he travel back in time?
He didnt.

He didn't, the FF7 world was destroyed and Remade as part of some kind of cycle, he just survived somehow.

>7 seconds is all the time I have to play with you

What did weskeroth mean by this?

except he did. he even laughs because cloud was a retard and and picked zack over aeris. obviously genesis is behind all of this

More importantly, how the fuck did biggs at ground zero survive?

Will Lighting and Cloud finally team up in part 2?

I hope so.

He didn't travel back in time. After Cloud pushed him into the lifestream, he stole the script from the changebad ghosts, and then came back.

it says in the chapter description on the final chapter, there are 7 seconds until meteor collides with earth

He didn't. Are you people all stupid or what? Him knowing the future doesn't mean he's from there. He's not, and your theories about this are idiotic. He can just see the future

Absolutely nothing in this remake even slightly hints that Sephiroth has time traveled

He didnt

>Remember ff7 ending, how you see aerith at the last moment, pretty much telling you "oh so aerith moved the lifestream and saved us all"? remember how that looked like the beginning of the game?
>The last scene you see in ff7 OG ending is remake aerith getting a premonition of all the events that happened in the OG, via the lifestream. Since it was sent through the lifestream, Sephiroth gets this knowledge too. Thats why Aerith is scared and distracted at the beginning of the remake. She saw everything and doesnt know what teh fuck is going on. Thats why Sephiroth also annoys cloud so early in the game: hes already pulling the strings. Aerith wants to pull the strings too, but ghosts appear to stop her, same to sephiroth.

>The future lifestream, or the OG lifestream if you may, sensed this and sent mini weapons, the watchmen of fate, to stop the timeline from changing. Basically, OG aerith sent allthis messages to Remake aerith through lifestream to find another way to beat meteor.

He isn't from the future, he was given visions of the future due to Jenova cells. It might seem retarded that Jenova gives time manipulation to its users, but I think it fits the theme of duality throughout FF7. In particular, the differences between Jenova and the Planet / the Ancients. Think of Jenova has having the power of time and space while the Ancients have the power of the planet--the classical elements.

>How did he travel back in time?
he didn't.
>Why is he obsessed with cloud
his obsession with bullying cloud is literally what keeps him alive.

I like this. Maybe Aeris is so smug because she thinks she is in control. Then in the sequel shit hits the fan and Tifa dies instead of her and she realizes she is not in control at all and everything goes south

>Sephiroth can math the fucking destruction of a galaxy
>NOOO YOU CAN'T TIME TRAVEL HAHA
>TIME JANNIES HAHA PPFFTTT
>GHOST JANNIES HAHA
>NOMURA IS BAD HAHA
every, single, time
>NOOOO YOU JUST CAN'T ACKNOWLEDGE THAT TIME MATERIA EXISTS

>How did he travel back in time?
Did he? I didn't see anything to indicate he did, just that he has knowledge of the future and wants to change it. Aerith seems to have similar knowledge, and there's no indication she traveled through time.

you are right user it's all Lifestream fuckery

>Tifa
No, Cloud should die

The question isn't answered in the game so it's a waste of time speculating about it. Don't validate Nomura's bullshit by adding to the conversation around his bullshit.

Theres another theory too, that still relates to , that sometimes, since sephiroth loves to control clones and manifest himself in front of everyone, OG aerith does too. She does this in the "dream" scene with cloud, thats OG aerith proyecting herself.
Also, OG aerith sometimes enters remake aerith and does stuff too, like to red XIII, marlene, and others. Thats why the whispers are also annoying her, because they want OG aerith to fuck off and let remake aerith do whats best alone.

>Did he?
Many of these people are in it for the memes yet always losing outside of meme for the day, week, month.
Yet when it comes to the actual shit in the game.
These "time jannies" are just spirits. Spirits that returned to the lifestream and that lifestream is tainted by Jenova.
Meanwhile those spirits that do no return to the planet for whatever reason is how you get spooky ghosts.
Yet it doesn't matter because the meme has taken over the narrative despite how bad and wrong it is.

Let's conveniently leave out Mako poisoning.
Hallucinations and other shit because OG FF7 wasn't filled with inconsistencies and was pure and was the best ever.

knowing about future events is not a hint?

>knowing about future events is not a hint?
conveniently leaving out
To what degree
how much that degree impacts events
>NOOOOO WHY CAN'T NO ONE NOTICE THE MASSIVE METEOR TRAVELING TO EARTH DESPITE ALL THEIR TECHNOLOGY
Yet some old ass man can

The lifestream in the OG is already a deus ex. They just used it to justify meta

>Let's conveniently leave out Mako poisoning.
What do you mean? i never left mako poisoning out of the theory

That actually sounds good. We never, ever, got a good explanation for what exactly Aerith does at that Mako pipe in the OG and remake. The lazy explanation is that she is "listening to the voice of the planet", but the issue is that the Mako pipe is Mako - not the lifestream, like the difference between a living flower and a plucked flower.
I still do wonder what Sephiroth means by "nor will I let you end." This Sephiroth treats Cloud much more "respectful" than OG Sephiroth did with his "You are MUH puppet" shit.

>Being able to see the future = time travel
>Implying he knows jack shit and isn't just shown as having a plan.

Literally all they did was make Sephiroth seem to actually be doing something instead of dragging jenova around aimlessly and killing Aerith for literally no reason.

Aerith is the only character that can see the future, that's why she tells sephiroth he is wrong because his plan is literally to kill humanity to save the planet, but it's a ploy by jenova because jenova wants to absorb the lifestream in it's entirety which can only happen in times of calamity.

Literally nothing is different from the original plot wise.

>NOOOOO WHY CAN'T NO ONE NOTICE THE MASSIVE METEOR TRAVELING TO EARTH DESPITE ALL THEIR TECHNOLOGY
What are you even talking about?

Next thing ya know, FF7 Remake later has you visiting the other FF worlds in each game and meeting the other casts like Squall, Tidus, Terra, or even Noctis. Already fucking calling it.

>How did he travel back in time?
How did he take Cloud to the "edge of creation"?
