Meteor was hold by the life stream and only a little portion of it hit the earth thats why some parts where devastated

I kinda thought that the lifestream came out to heal the planet. I guess they should come up with a sequel to explain everything.

The ending of FF7, I thinkk thats a really good theory but this is what happened, The earth (i think) uses holy and thats that bright blue light that trys to stop meteor, before holy comes and gets meteor, a little girl (from Aeris' ghost in midgar place) opens her window and says "The flower lady?" But holys to late and the earth uses ther life stream which still isnt enough, then it shows Aeris one last time, and boom everythings ok.

I don't think humanity was wiped out. Why? Well, think about it. You see Red and his pups, yeah? Meaning Red got himself a woman, meaning their species wasn't wiped out, so how could something destroy the whole of humanity, without wiping out any other life form? You hear the birds at the end, they managed to survive aswell. So, basically I find it hard to believe that everything that happened at the end of the game, only destroyed humanity, while other life forms clearly survived.

I think a lot of people are seeing the 'wiped out' possibility as a negative thing. If humanity was indeed 'wiped out', it would have returned to the Lifestream. Is the Lifestream not in its own right a Promised Land? Upon returning to the Lifestream humanity would find true happiness, and who knows, could resurface one day as life in some other form on the planet surface.

I think the negative viewing of the 'wiping out' comes from our personal fear of death as a race, but if you see it in the grand scheme of things humanities return to the Lifestream is the 'good ending'. A return to the Lifestream is in everyone best interest, both humanities and the planet's. There is no heaven or hell, there is only the Lifestream. And it is good.

I don't find it negative really. Just find it hard to believe that Nanaki, birds, a female for Nanaki to breed with can survive something that humanity can't. I mean something that powerful, why would it only effect humanity? Talking Genecide on a global scale here, humnaity dies, but all or most other species survive. Doesn't make sense to me.

well I guess it answers Buganhagen's question of "will Humanity pass?" before you look for the key to the cetras secrets

But yet super-aliens from space, lightning fast yellow birds all colours of the rainbow, a man with a fully functional machine gun actually grafted onto his arm and a walking talking big stuffed cat are all entirely plausible? This is FF were talking about, a fantasy world. Much about anythings possible and could have happened, so why couldn't the Lifestream just 'magic' away humanity in one swoop leaving all other harmless species to roam the planet?
