Final
Sector Seven Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I look back at many times, and still I cannot explain why
Those memories thought vain, they become useful here and then
My conscious won't let go, that pain inside me has a home
Those haunting thoughts are stepping stones

And now, that time I spent with you, which all had to be reviewed
The lessons that were stored, I use them all to help ignore
I pile up the bad in order to replace the good we had
Those haunting thoughts are stepping stones

I put my jealousies aside, some part of me said I was right
So I took a new approach and rid myself of foolish pride
My timing it was bad, at least some day I know we'll look and laugh
Those stepping stones built my new path

But hey, hey please don't take offence, it's just I feel alive again
Just a mistake along your way; for me a strange reality
I got tired of taking blame, bored of my animosity
I'm glad this makes me sick, I like my brand new start




Aversion it's my fresh new trick
It's armor added to my heart

Its not a spoiler to indicate that even a Shinra top level director has serious misgivings about the actions of Shinra. It does not reveal the toy cat you don't know about at this point in the game. It's already well woven into remakes narrative that Reeve is nowhere near as evil as the cartoon character villains that make up the majority of the board.

An interesting twist this time was President Shinra's genuine understanding that Avalanche was just seeking to force their view of the world onto everyone too - at least he can provide the bread and circus with mako.

The whole reeve plot thread through Cait Sith was not as well constructed as it could have been in the original narrative (let's all remember what time constraints they were under when they created that masterpiece. ).

I am one of the very few people who actually liked and regularly used Cait Sith as a 3rd party member in the original. Reeve has the potential to be one of the most improved characters of remake.

Also...... they have the Mayor inside Shinra anyway so I'm not entirely sure where it is expected that a new player would be surprised AVALANCHE has deeply penetrated Shinra HQ. I mean.... you literally graft your way to the executive suite level by finding the right mole.

(I do not expect Reeves character to function under this pretense. Instead I believe Reeve will be portray as someone who thought he could change the system from within by rising as high as possible. I believe his role is/will be independent of any AVALANCHE faction activity. )

Guess we won't know until the chapter with gold saucer drops.

Loved this scene. Especially the unexpected Cait cameo.

Julian

personally i'd have seperated every plate
at the same time
because yes

Josh R.

That was an absolutely terrible cameo. It ruined the severity of the event and was an abysmal tonal shift with nothing to add other than “hey, it’s cait sith”

GamingwithAsh

@Pomada Gaming Cait Sith is a humanoid cat plush thingy

GamingwithAsh

Dude how can you love this scene! It’s sad! Tons of innocent people were killed by FRICKIN SHINRA!

Gorgeously animated...but I think they should have cut the music the moment the pre-rendered section began.

Nuka Bomb

Definitely should of stay with original music is hd

Josh R.

100% agree.

Supern0va

I actually liked the music, it made me anxious as hell.

MasterFreezer

Yes, i thought so aswell. If i remember right, the original was silent in the cutscene too. Without Music that scene would have been way more dreadful.
