Explore the hidden plots of the remake and the rebirth of Final Fantasy VII through the yogācāra and Jung Lens

In the saga of Final Fantasy VII y Rebirth remakeThe narrative took an address that challenges the traditional conventions of the multiverse. Far from being autonomous parallel universes, such as those proposed by classical science, The “divergent worlds” so called of the final VII universe seem to respond to a different logic: they are psychic and symbolic spaces, deriving from deep emotions, unresolved trauma and metaphysical manipulations of fate.

This article tries to analyze these worlds from a psychological and spiritual perspective, anchored in theories such as that of Buddhist idealism of Yogācāra and Jungian psychoanalysis. These are not absolute truths, but of theoretical interpretations that seek consistency a story full of symbolism.

Why do Cloud and Aeris arouse in the bodies of their counterparts after what happened in the temple of the elderly?

The scene of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in which Cloud and Aeris They seem to “wake up” on a different level, occupying the bodies of the divergent versions of oneself, it is not a physical journey. It is a transfer of consciousness. This investment represents a spiritual decrease, in which the soul temporarily abandons the original body to synchronize with a reality that resonates with its desires and attachments.

From the point of view of yogācāra, this is consistent with the concept that consciousness can be projected into the dream worlds created by the karmic impressions (Vasans). In the case of the cloud, his disconnection of the physical body is a sign that his mind has entered a symbolic and emotional dimension.

What do the different breeds for dogs represent in divergent worlds?

Dogs that appear in different shapes in divergent worlds are not simple aesthetic changes. They represent a unique symbolic language of each plan. Each world, generated by different unconscious desires, manifests itself with small differences that act as metaphysical “problems”.

This subtle symbolism indicates that the world is not real, but an internal projection, like the dreams described by Jung: places where the mind reorganizes its elements known in new ways to elaborate trauma.

Why does cloudy sleep see him in a divergent world?

The dream is one of the most natural forms of dissociation with the physical plan. In Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, when the cloud sleeps and is shown in a divergent world, what we are witnessing is a psychic journey.

This is aligned with the Buddhist idea that dreams allow the cross between the plans of consciousness. It also coincides with Jung, who claimed that the unconscious manifests itself during sleep in the form of archetypal visions. Cloud, sleeping, comes into contact with a reality linked to his emotional and spiritual state.

Why are the scenes of the death of Zack and Biggs repeated in the divergent worlds?

These worlds are not neutral spaces. They are conditioned by the death of Zack and Biggs. In yogācāra, the unresolved karmic impressions generate illusory worlds in which events repeat themselves, like recurring dreams. These deaths have not been accepted emotionally, so the divergent world regenerates them again and again.

Sephiroth explodes these emotional echoes to maintain active suffering and prevent the characters from “waking up”. While the trauma does not face, the cycle persists.

The different Zack we see during the Remake Final Fantasy VII trilogy

Who is Zack in the Church at the end of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth?

That zack is not a risen physical being. It is a spiritual manifestation that derives from its unshakable desire to protect Aeris and Cloud. His existence would be linked to the crack in the sky, which represents the fracture of fate (it could be a first champion of the spirit of Zack in the physical world).

Zack becomes an archetype of Guardian, similar to the spiritual figures of Yogācāra who persist beyond death due to the weight of his intention.

The remake of Final Fantasy VII Intergrade Zack: Church and Sadness

Zack enters a church and finds her full of sad people. Aeris is not there. This divergent world reflects its emotional state: disorientation, search for meaning and a broken connection.

It represents a divergent world in which Zack could be looking for a meaning in his life, after being saved or having had an experience close to death. The absence of Aeris in the Church could represent his internal struggle with his own destiny, since Aeris symbolizes a lighthouse of hope and love for him. In his mind, he probably feels the need to meet her to find some resolution, but she is not there.

The sadness of people in the Church:

The sad people that Zack sees in the Church represents souls who have not found peace and is a direct manifestation of the corruption of Sephiroth and Jenova in the vital current. These people do not rest in peace, probably because they have not been able to heal or because the place itself has become a point of emotional and spiritual conflict due to the manipulation of Sephiroth and Jenova. The Church, as a sacred place, can symbolize that souls, even if you live, feel trapped in the corruption of events that occur and cannot go on with their lives peacefully.

The symbolism of sadness can also be a reflection of how people are trapped in an emotional cycle caused by the events of the past, war and death. Zack, finds no Aeris, faces this emotional void, an existential crisis. In this context, the sadness of people in the Church could be a reflection of the internal void that Zack hears, a reflection of the same anguish that NPCS experiences due to the effects of the events that occurred.

Who is the zack that brings cloud at the beginning of the rebirth and what do we see during the game?

This Zack is also a demonstration in a divergent world. It is an echo of possibilities, of what could have been. Represents a symbolic memory born from the desire and distortion of fate. That is, Zack is dead, but his soul or image continues to exist in the divergent versions of the worlds created by the events of Remake Final Fantasy VII.

Is the theory mentioned in Cosmo Canyon on the “Second Life” is a track?

Absolutely. During a conversation that involves several NPC in Cosmo Canyon, it is suggested that the soul can live a second life in dreams. This idea aligns perfectly with yogācāra. Karmic seeds create internal realities that, for those who inhabit them, are as real as the physical world.

In other words, this suggests that after death, souls continue to exist through their desires, hopes and attachments. This concept is fundamental in yogācāra: those “karmic seeds” (bīja) are those who create illusorous interior worlds, although for those who live them, are completely real.

They are not classic multiiver. They are mental plans in which souls trapped by desires or trauma live illusory existences.

Who is Aeris fighting with Cloud at the end of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth?

It is not a living Aeris, nor a parallel version. It is a spiritual manifestation, evoked by the emotional bond that unites the cloud with it. In yogācāra, the white plane where they fight is a pure projection of the mind: Vijñapti-Mātra, “Just Conscience”.

From Jung, Aeris is the archetype of the soul: Cloud’s emotional and spiritual guide. Its appearance suggests a moment of extreme introspection, in which the cloud addresses its shadow (Sephiroth) and seeks an internal balance.

Typh and descent to Mako

In chapter 9 of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Tifa falls into a sea of Mako. This event represents a descent for the unconscious. The Mako symbolizes the consciousness of the planet (Yogācāra) and the collective unconscious (Jung).

The weapon that the guide is not an enemy, but a manifestation of the will of the planet. It shows hidden truths that can only be revealed in that altered state of consciousness.

Aeris and Marlene: the sign of silence

In the remake of Final Fantasy VII, Marlene embraces Aeris and there is a flash. Aeris asks to be silent. This moment represents a spiritual connection. Marlene, like a sensitive soul, captures a warning that cannot be verified.

The Marlene of the Zack World remembers that moment, although it has never lived. This suggests a connection between versions of the same to be in different floors. Both share greater awareness, which is consistent with the theory of yogācāra on the interconnection of all souls.

Tifa sees Aeris with blood … and then without blood

This scene represents a distortion of reality. The version with blood is the truth. The bloodless version is an illusion created by Sephiroth to alter the emotional perception of the group.

This manipulation tries to sow, confuse, prevent pain from being fully assumed. From Jung, it is an attempt to prevent the emotional integration of the trauma, necessary for growth.

Rote chair cloud

The catatonic cloud is not only physically inert. It is the reflection of a broken awareness, unable to act. It represents a fractured self, captured in an illusory world.

Airis unconscious and white matter

The white matter that falls into the divergent world represents the disconnection of Aeris with vital current. He is disappearing from symbolic reality. It is a moment of “spiritual death” in which only your mental karma remains.

To save him, a physical act is not enough. It is necessary to reaffirm its presence in the collective unconscious as a guide and protector.

Conclusion: a journey to the soul, not in the cosmos

What the remake of Final Fantasy VII and the Rebirta of Final Fantasy VII present us are not physical multiiver, but mental worlds, similar to it, loaded with symbolism. The story has moved to the field of consciousness, where fate is not fractured by material events, but by unresolved emotions.

Through the yogācāra and jung lens, we discover that the divergent worlds are not parallel alternatives, but reflections of broken souls, unfinished hopes and shared trauma.

In the next article we will continue to deepen the mysteries of this trilogy, exploring new clues and connections that could reveal the true heart of the Final Fantasy VII universe.
