There's two theories I've heard that I really like, Aerith does exist in a parallel universe except only Cloud can see her as he's the one that's been in different universes.
You passed a full Holy material to this universes Aerith during all over the place scene, that is also with original lifestream Aerith which is why Sephiroth says 'this is where you've been hiding'.
There's also the theory that the Aerith that Cloud is seeing is completely in his imagination with him breaking down and refusing to accept her death.I've just got a Steam Deck so can see me replaying Remake soon and then keeping my fingers crossed Rebirth can play on it at release at its lowest settings. 😂

Super near end game spoiler?
I just got the Cloud/Zack back to back team up before I had to go do chores. I think I'm at the end?
1. I was like "Fuck no!" when Sephiroth showed up to stab Aerith
2. I cheered when Cloud broke free of the Whispers and smacked him away
3. THen I was VERY confused that she's still laid out and sorta bleeding? I think the worlds are combining into one??
4. They did my favorite trope of fighting with every party member to take down the boss, and then the cutscene where they are all fucking up JENOVA... fuck I LIVE for that shit.
5. Why they gotta do Biggs dirty like that?!
SpoilerYeah you’re at the final boss.
There’s loads of different theories that make sense on how everything ends.
The Biggs one theory is seemingly to do with will to continue, whereas Zack won’t give up no matter what, Biggs gives up the first sign of a problem. Although they’re always chasing Zack so perhaps it’s fate chasing him down as it’s always the Shinra soldiers. I think the Avalanche stuff was wrapped up with the date/show. Although I was hoping for more of all three.

Just finished chapter 13, this game, holy shit.
It did a great job of making me start to hate Cloud with his snappiess and impatience towards everyone who just had to relive all of their trauma. It made me almost cry with Cait sacrificing himself, even though I KNEW he was coming back two seconds later. The fucking Whispers coming back! Cloud acting like a fucking serial killer chasing down Aerith.
Such a high end to the chapter. I feel like if I ever replay this game I am going to skip all the side content. Going hours/days in between the story beats does this game a disservice. The story is just so damn good.
And now Cloud and Aerith are in the alternate dimension. What is going on?!
SpoilerThis is basically how I feel about the game, side stuff fun but tiresome. Story hits absolutely everything I could have ever wanted/imagined from a remake/retelling/'sequel'.
I can't wait to hear what you think of the ending!-

More chapter 13 stuff
I was going to be PISSED if Cloud killed Elana! Even though they are bad guys, I LOVE the Turks (I can't remember if they had a redemption arc in the original, but they deserve one here I think). Elana with her sparkly, pink uzi is a hilarious sight.

SpoilerLove that we got a Tseng battle in there too!

Yeah, I did most of them. Not doing the pirate treasure (because the reward seems meh), I'm skipping a Gongaga one (because Gongaga), and the last Kyrie mission.
But I ended up watching the Tifa cutscene on youtube. Gonna watch the rest later I think!
It gives you the option to load up whichever one you want at the end game. For Chapter 8 also.

I got Red for date night, I was expecting Tifa! Aerith as #2. That's a surprise!
Yeah me too, it seems if you've done all the side quests up to that point you'll almost always get Red.

Unfortunately, you will be waiting a few years.
Next up will be Remake on the Steam Deck then, Rebirth hopefully if it can run.(not hopeful)

Have completed other games this year but didn't use this so I'll just start with this one.
1. FFVII Rebirth
Really enjoyed it, albeit got a little frustrated from time to times. FF7 OG was such a huge part of my growing up I'm probably biased in thinking it's phenomenal though.

Yeah, I was thinking it over last night and used the Wall Market section for a comparison point.
In the original, you come into the area and it's like nothing you've seen before. That's still on point. But then it kind of goes off the rails from there - in the original, the plan was hatched to get Cloud into the Don's along with Aerith, and everything else you did in Wall Market was kind of leading up to that point - and how you did on various activities ended up meaning you'd get a certain piece of the outfit, so that was quite gameified and engaging.
In Remake, you just did... stuff. And then arbitrarily (well, not really - there are clear points that get you different outfits but none of them are really in a story sense tied into any decisions you've made) the plan comes up that had been hatched entirely away from Cloud, there's a dance mini-game for some reason, and you're in.
I'm still looking forward to Rebirth because there's so much of the rest of the game that I want to see fully realized - but instead of going straight to it like I was planning, it might be a case where I go onto something else and come back when there's a sale on Rebirth or something of that nature.
With the length of the games I would 100% take a break, they're just too long and you'll get burned out and stop enjoying it as I did with Rebirth. Just on the final boss now and in terms of the issues with story in Remake I think they definitely solve most of them in Rebirth.
I think both games although fantastic can be a big of a slog and it's worth having another game to go to when you feel like FF7 is wearing thin.
If you don't buy day 1, I don't think there's ever much point in not waiting for a sale now anyway!

I was hoping to be through Remake by now, and I've gotten further than I had before - I'm holding out for going to the Shinra building being something that exceeds expectations - but unless this second part is a SEVERE improvement on things I don't know if I'm going to make it a priority.
I don't personally buy into the way that they do storytelling in Remake - I'm still feeling more padding than expanding. Some characters are better written than others and that's a for sure thing, and Cloud has always been a blank template for the most part - but giving him voice acting and doubling down on the absurdity just makes him lack any connection at all to the situations he's in for me. There feels like there have been a lot of scenes predicated on "we need to do a thing, and it's very important, let's cut-scene for 5 minutes about it instead of actively doing it"
I think what I'm getting out of it is that I hold the initial Midgar section very near and dear because of how into FF7 I was when I got it on PC way back in the day, but the original pacing was WAY more in line with what it needed to be.
The storyline pacing in Rebirth feels a lot better actually expanding properly on characters rather than just here is more of the same, it’s just the side stuff that can be a little bit of a slog.
I’ve been grinning ear to ear many more times than I did in Remake. I think Remake will always be held back a bit by everything looking a bit the same for the full game.

True Detective Night Country finale.
Adored it. Entire series was a massive return to form and honestly I massively preferred this to even season one. Loved the ambiguity of the ending but still delivered answers on all the things that mattered. Phenomenal stuff that captured the spirit of season one whilst entirely making it its own thing.
Thought it was really good, but feel like it would have been better without the True Detective name. Would have been a great addition to The Terror.

What I find interesting is that some reviewers love the story and others find it utterly dull. It seems that they're in agreement that the gameplay is a bit 90s-esque, and so your enjoyment might hinge on how fond you are of games like Suikoden.
As a game that was crowdfunded by Suikoden fans, that probably shouldn't be a surprise. It sounds as though it's doing what those people wanted it to.
Although I’m not sure you could ever call Suikodens story dull though.

Nibel area was great, wish the previous areas had been as fun and easy to get around.
On Chapter 12 just now.
SpoilerWasn't expecting it, but got Red XIII for my date, and as much as I thought I hated the young voice. He's a much more sympathetic character now.
I did not expect a Don Corneo rap performance. 😂EDIT - Also Fuck Rufus, that's a battle that would put me off hard mode.

Just watched Baby Reindeer, absolutely fantastic and would reccomend to anyone.

Seen a few complaints about the story and party etc. I've just finished Chapter 11 and although I could obviously change my mind I can't disagree more. It feels like every story beat is perfect and done so well, they've managed to make you care about the full cast of characters and even some of the side characters.

The jungle killed me. But I went back to doing everything in Cosmo Canyon. Much nicer!
I finished the Gongaga ones, and to be honest they felt like the worst side quests too for how long it took to find them. Ended up using YouTube to find out how to get everywhere.

If you're not enjoying it, skip it. It doesn't really add to anything.
To be honest I am enjoying the side stuff, it's just the endless dead ends in navigating to it that kills me. If they were all like Junon and the first part of Corel I'd be loving all of it.

On Chapter 10 now, finding the side stuff a bit of a slog now even with a couple of weeks break. Is it worth persevering with it?
