The actual audio to follow up @ahamkara-apologist's drawing. We've been working on compiling and reorganising the content of Revenant's audio dump into what we think are correct reconstructions of the missing content in Revenant, but it's a very slow-going process without any scripts to confirm our work is correct.

Whilst what I've posted before is mostly small bits of 'extra' dialogue that doesn't really build on the story, this is the first one we've reconstructed where I think it not being included in the game actually genuinely hurt the storytelling. This was likely intended to be post-Onslaught dialogue.

DISCLAIMER: I didn't datamine these myself. They all come from a dump of dialogue datamined from this season, and I only post them because they didn't make it into the game proper.

In 1955, women from Hiroshima whose faces had been deformed by the atom bomb flew to New York for reconstructive surgery. Dr. William H. Hitzig, the plastic surgeon, took them to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine on May 9, 1955.

Soooo with Revenant's story progression over, there's a lot of datamined dialogue that seemingly never made it into the game proper, only the files. A lot of this dialogue served to flesh out the story somewhat, and because it never played we ended up missing a lot of little bits that could have helped ease the jank. This is my attempt to stitch together lines of dialogue into what I think would be an approximation of the intended dialogue.

DISCLAIMER: This audio comes from a dump of all datamined audio files from this Episode. I did not datamine the game myself. Furthermore, I do not have access to the .txt files to confirm if this is the correct order of audio, so this is, in no way, a 100% faithful reconstruction of the dialogue. I just stitched lines together into something that somewhat flows. I am also not an audio enginer or competent editor.

FF7 REBIRTH SPOILERS ft A THEORY OF MINE

"Emptiness"

I may be reading too deep into this but bear with me. Sephiroth doing his damned best to reinforce that Cloud is nothing, that everything he feels his fake, that he's a puppet pulled along by Sephiroth's strings with no real purpose of his own. "Your tears are empty" is a line that really stands out to me, because Sephiroth insinuates that Cloud isn't a person and has no true substance as an individual. He's a shell.

Then much later, in the dream-esque Sleeping Forest, Aerith wants to spend one of their final moments focusing on Cloud, focusing on "finding the real [him]". Then Cloud hands Holy to Aerith, and she gifts him the clear materia in return, presumably having taken up Holy before she leaves. Aerith theorised earlier in the game that Holy was probably powered by her memories and dreams, and having lost them to the Whispers, to fate, has rendered the materia useless.

Basically, Cloud aptly describes not-Holy with, "It looks empty".

An empty man holding onto an empty materia.

I don't know, man. The thing about being given an empty thing after being told and tortured with the idea that you yourself are an empty thing is getting to me.

Part 3 is most likely going to deal with the fallout of Cloud's broken psyche and piecing him back together to "find the real [him]". I'm theorising not-Holy is only restored once Cloud has finally figured out who he is and what he wants to do.

Because materia isn't just the crystallisation of mako and the Lifestream. It's the physical representation of hopes and dreams and desires. The Black Materia was created to deliver the Gi from their unending existence. The White Materia ensures the prayers of the planet are answered.

And now not-Holy belongs to Cloud, so that whatever he finds in himself will fuel not-Holy and provide it with new purpose, maybe even allow him to finally heal after over two decades of suffering, because as Aerith said, "it's about saving the world — and you"

That is all

Nero: I don’t understand- what madness inspired you to do this? Money? Power? Revenge?!

Was checking back over the transcribed lines from the Episode Revenant audio dump and realised i left out two lines from this interaction, so I went back and fixed it. Little sibling vibes 2!!!!!

Big thanks to @/ruthlesslistener/ahamkara-apologist for scrubbing through and transcribing all the unused/bugged voicelines!
