The White Materia's Purpose & Characters Who Could Return for FF7 Remake Part 3

When they showed the locations of the Whale type WEAPONS, Reactor 0 from DoC was highlighted. I'm sure the crew will get separated during the Midgar Raid and Yuffie and Vincent will encounter Deepground. If they want to close the loop on all of FFVII, I expect Shelke the Colorless to show up and become an ally in some ways.

I’ve been theorizing since Rebirth that I think the empty/clear materia will be used to separate Sephiroth from Cloud’s memories. Sephiroth is attached to Cloud, and will keep coming back unless Cloud is killed - but that won’t happen. So the clear/empty materia is their way to kill Sephiroth for good this time, while not having to sacrifice Cloud.

With the white materia from what I understand. The white materia in the rebirth universe was drained by the whispers. In Zack’s parallel it looks like the gang failed at shinra HQ and the materia was left intact. However in Zack’s parallel the planet had also not been able to hang on as long and died. Aerith seems to have some ability to transfer her consciousness but not her body between universes, somehow cloud can maybe it’s his connection to Sephiroth? . So she gave him the ‘complete’ white materia from Zack’s dying world where it was no use anyway and pushed him back in the rebirth universe so they now have a chance to counter meteor.

Wonder if the Sephiroth in the Edge of Creation is going to have a change of heart and help defeat the other Sephiroth that’s trying to change the future.

The yuffie and Vincent fight against nero would be incredible dude what a great shout, I’m predicting a lot of dlc for part 3 and the fact they say it leads to AC makes me curious corduroy

Keep in mind cloud gets the umbral sword in rebirth which is purple and very dark knight like. In the OG you get an optional weapon called the “heaven’s cloud” I think that he will get that shortly after his “paladin” arc is complete post lifestream

Love the video! Nice drag out of my name 😅 also a video on how they can expand on Genova would be a great idea! Love to hear your thoughts.

I wonder if in part 3 at Costa Del Sol something will happen with Johnny's Seaside Inn and we get to buy it. Like you can in og.

I really enjoy having discussions about FF7 remake part 3 and what we could expect from game play, exploration, combat, character growth, and most importantly the story, and what we could expect and or happen in part 3.

Hey, i got referenced in the video, noice

11:43 I definitely see them sending Cisnei back to Midgar to help with the evacuation efforts. The Turks, Yuffie, and Vincent apparently were the ones who were escorting Midgar citizens to safely shelters when meteor was about to fall, so it wouldn't shock me if Cisnei returns to Midgar simply to help the evacuation effort.

Since Rocket Town is not going to be accessible until Part 3, I wonder if we're going to get Cid's back story when we get there or if they'll make Shera an engineer on the Highwind and ease into it that way. She was an engineer on the rocket, so it wouldn't be impossible.

Fantastic video!

The Cosmo Canyon section clearly states that materia takes on various forms and shapes, specifically in the scenes at the observatory. Moreover, Bugenhagen mentions that they contain the memory of civilization, which can be interpreted as the reality of that civilization. Therefore, the logical conclusion is that the empty materia you show in the icon is a stone devoid of the memories. Empty materia for next Civilisation memories? Cloud received that materia from Aerith, who was in a different reality. This scene strongly reminds me of the scene with Aerith’s spirit from 1997. Then Sephiroth, who knows how to travel between worlds, enters. In Final Fantasy, there is a theme of duality, and since in Rebirth Cloud has White Materia from another world, two can’t exist simultaneously. Therefore, one memory overrides the other; the memory of the White Materia from the original 1997 becomes empty for the new memory.

Always love to hear lots of theories! It's great that you've made a video of other's ideas! Respect! I'm getting the feeling the Glenn/Sephiroth might covertly bring Rufus's involvement with Wutai and Avalanche to Scarlet, Heidegger, and Palmer's attention before the crater. This would force Rufus to maintain order while Sephiroth is working Cloud. I'd also love to see the exiled Turks from BC. Scarlet who hates them, might kill a few of them. Cissnei being on this list for helping the girls in Rebirth. I could write a full essay on just how far they could push the Tifa-Scarlet arch-nemesis relationship. There is a way that Scarlet could hurt Tifa as a woman the way Sephiroth hurt Cloud as a man. Sephiroth tormented Cloud with the past, but Scarlet could taunt Tifa about the future with an allusion to the fate of the children of Soldiers. Rufus sparing Yuffie in Junon when the party is captured might be a bartering chip for peace with Wutai. Maybe instead of fighting Sonon, Yuffie is allowed to put him out of his misery in an act of cooperation with Shinra, as well as a means for Scarlet to torment her. Marlene could become Shinra's poster child instead of Stamp. A save the children of the future propaganda ad, and a means for Shirna to remind Avalanche that they better cooperate and not interfere. Who's to say that Shinra didn't do something with Dyne's body. Maybe Barret fights a cyborg made from his parts. Then the people of Corel could see just how much Garret is actually on their side. I truly am not sure whether or not Zack will be fully in Beagle world or still within the dream worlds in the Lifestream, but I'm confident what ever they do will be good! I don't think Genesis is meant to leave his underground water bubble lol, but if the Planet gets itself in order when Cloud does, then we might get an implication that Genesis controls the whisperers that would then push the party forward. Furthermore, the whisperers could keep Deepground from coming up during Midgar Raid or to deal with Sephiroth once the barrier is down. But the Restrictors might not have faith in the current leadership of the company by that point. It'd be nice if Piko has been sneaking off with a black chocobo mate. Maybe Palmer stays in the story longer and him and Cid have an airplane battle. Palmer could crash too close to the nest, and the parents could be very angry. Maybe they decide to carry the egg back to the farm. And when it hatches before Under the Highwind, Piko could be wearing Palmer's blood stained bowtie lol

White whispers start to show up in Rebirth. We also know that by that time, Aerith's materia is completely drained. In Rebirth, Aerith can control the white whispers.

Im actually hoping for advent children. Having us playthrough and beat that entire portion, and then letting us keep the outfits and new weapons like the gun arm and the fusion sword, for a newgame+ would be cool. I have a feeling too that they will provide us with lots of great stuff if they go the AC route. Tifa v loz Team v bahamut SIN AND i also have a theory that they could give reno & rude the zack-treatment from rebirth by making them both playable with fully fleshed-out kits for their respective battles with yazu and loz, before combining into a 2v2 battle. It would give fans and players a nice shocking surprise. Weve all (mostly) seen AC so not much would be surprising about it. But by adding those things that make us players go "WHAT?! NO WAY!!" is what made rebirth so good (example: playable sephiroth and playable zack)

I want to see Leslie find his fiancee and maybe find out if he has a connection to Sephiroth or part of the black robes. Not many you men have silver hair. . .

First, Sephiroth she finally meet Lucrecia. Hojo even talked about Ilfana cells; I wonder if something will be done with those. Obviously we will see Jenova, but I believe she should be the final boss. Because as long as a piece of her remains, this can never truely end, and I know they want to finish the whole story.

I can't see them focusing on Sephiroth's past very much in Part 3. Based on where Rebirth ends and everything they need to cover, there just isn't room for it. Especially if Zack has another arc in Part 3. It's for this reason that I don't see them doing much with Advent Children in the game, either. If they really do go full open world, due to the airship, they're definitely going to have a lot of side-quests to justify revisiting previous areas. Which means that just the MQ and side content would make this game much larger than ever Rebirth was.
