Final Fantasy VII had a complex story for its time and became an all time classic. Many theories exist around FF7's story - like the Jenova Theory. Even who the main antagonist of the game is. Jenova? Sephiroth? Or Both? In this video I explore in detail why that is and if the Jenova Theory is plausible and why. We also look into the Sephiroth Theory (and a bit into a hybrid theory).


► Update: my gaming content will be on my 2nd channel: [ Ссылка ]
(at least some LotR related gaming videos will still be posted here on the main channel though)

► Spoiler Warning for the original Final Fantasy 7 from 1997 (Ending, secret scenes, important story details, etc). Ofc the Final Fantasy VII Remake is related, but I won't speak about it here.

► Mistakes:
- In game Aerith is written Aeris, but the spelling was later officially changed to Aerith. This might be inconsistent in my sub titles.
- Background music of the game is not always muted
- Cetra is pronounced "Setra" not "Ketra" (thank you to Joao Leonardo) - my mistake, should have noticed. The Japanese name is Setora (セトラ; quote: セトラの手にとりもどすために生をうけた。何を悲しめというのだ？)
Retrospectively: thought English words starting with the letters C and E are also always(?) pronounced like this. Like certain, cemetery, cetology, etc.
