just noticed something

Camera moves through clouds down towards Planet. Red and two younger kids are runing through a canyon accompanied by Cosmo Canyon's theme. They jump up a mountain face. They look over the cliff, and Red nods to his child on his left and then looks up towards Midgar and roars. Birds fly over head and camera zooms out on Midgar. It's completely natural now, but there is smoke off in the distance. FF7 Logo appears>


this cut scene is placed 5 years after the game ending with killing sephiroth.....

AC: is suppost to be 2 years after the game..... so is it after this cut scene which would make it 7 years after the game....or is it two years after the killing of sephiroth... confused....im not sure if im making since.... :confused:

I think its 2 years after Sephiroth was defeated.

Meaning that it takes place 3 years before that cutscene with Nanaki and the cubs.

Actually the cut scene is when Red goes and gets two Junior Rangers from Cosmo Canyon and they are off on a magical adventure to revive Aeris. And that's the real plot behind AC. :chef:

umm irealy hope your playing......cause if you read the script...you notice that they arent glad...but the understand she died for a greater good
and the know that is what aries wanted to die for

And that's why she died, because she was selfish. :chef:

Extremely selfish, to be accurate

that Scene is 500 years after zomg!

The final scene takes place 500 years after FFVII, suggesting that it takes place 498 years after Advent Children. As to the significance of the scene, FFVII's very ambiguous ending required some sort of definite conclusion. While the scene, taking place so long after the game, leaves much unanswered, it does point to the fact that Gaia survived. Given that Bugenhagen doubted the survival of the Planet regardless of Cloud and company's actions...

Bugenhagen: Ho Ho Hoooo. No Nanaki. You can't stand on your own yet. To do that
now would destroy you in the long run. Reaching up into the
heavens, threatening to snatch the very stars from the great city of Midgar. You
seen it, haven't you? Well, that's a bad example. Looking up too much makes you
lose perspective. When it's time for this planet to die, you'll understand that
you know absolutely nothing.

Cloud: ......When the planet dies?

Bugenhagen: Ho Ho Hoooo. It may be tomorrow, or 100 years from now... But it's
not long off.

Later, after the battle with Gi Nattak and the revelation of Seto's true actions...

Bugenhagen: Listen, Nanaki. Cloud says they are trying to save the planet.
Honestly, I don't think it can be done. For even if they stop every reactor on
the planet, it's only going to postpone the inevitable. Even if they stop
Sephiroth, everything will perish. But, Nanaki. I've been thinking lately. I've
been thinking if there was anything WE could do, as a part of the planet,
something to help a planet already in misery... No matter what happens, isn't it
important to try? Am I just wishing against fate? I am too old to do something
about it... This year, you must go with them! For my sake.

...this aspect of the ending ultimately confirmed the success of the party's efforts to save Gaia, even if their own eventual fates remain unknown to the gamer.

I finished the game the other day and I can say for sure that it's placed 500 years after the fall of Meteor.
That means Nanaki is going to live really a long life, that there ARE more of his kind around (hope we'll get to see them in this or that sequel...) and that Midgar will never be rebuilt no matter what. I wonder if Vincent will still be around... ¬.¬

how do we know for sure that it actually is Nanaki? the ending is for imagination only. make your own sequel, haha. it's not suppoed to say anything FOR SURE, but just gives an idea to what the world is like 500 years in the future?

Forgive me if I'm wrong, its been a while since I saw this scene. But I'm pretty sure he had the XIII on him. Probably the scar too. Like I said. I can't be positive. But I don't recall seeing anything that made me question whether or not it was him.

yeah he does

And theres your proof

the one in the ending scene had the XIII? i didn't notice... well geez. living for 500 years. way to go Nanaki.

how can red xiii have kids if he was the only one left of his species?

they never said he was the last of his kinds only Hojo said that out of estimation.

Vincent most likely still be around he doesn't age.
