Need to do some reading up on this...

Ok,

firstly, this is the best place to ask because the community here is good, no one calls you an idiot if you don't know something, they just help you out... so basically:

im a huge fan of FF7 as some of you probably know. I haven't played the original game in a while, i've got all the games, but havent completed DoC or Crisis Core yet (Japanese version, waiting for the English to complete that one).

I've just finished watching FF: Last Order and i'm confused.

I dont understand where its set in the FF timeline because it seemed to show things like Sephiroth and Jenova and the bit with Tifa getting thrown down the stairs , but then onto other bits that didn't seem to fit in with the game.. E.g Cloud getting stabbed and just before that, Cloud stabbing Sephiroth in the back...

i need someone to school me on this a little bit

thanks alot

Its set at the part where Sephy Zack and Cloud go to Nibelheim and Sephy burns it all down. 5 years before FFVII or thereabouts, can't quite remember myself actually ....

Theres a couple of discrepancies like when Tifa talks to cloud after beiong stabbed (because according to the game she didn't even think he was there)

Then theres Sephiroth jumping into the reactor when in the game it shows Cloud being stabbed and he throws him in there

 

[Shyne]

thanks for clearing this up, that's what confused me, i didn't get that bit, because it's different in the game

thanks Frisky!

hopefully more users will shed some light on this too, there does seem to be alot of discrepancies

In The Game: Cloud had Zack Memory not his imagining he was a soldier back then, but in fact he wasn't able to be a solider.

Spoiler

Then He goes in a mission with Zack and Sephiroth 5 years before the game, and they meet Tifa's Master, Cloud didn't want Tifa to know he was there so he wore his helmet.
after going to the reactor Sephiroth saw how the soliders such as him were born .. . so he turned into a psycho reading books and stuff then he burnt the village and killed the ones living in it.

Tifa goes to the reactor to search for her father and see him dead so she grabbed his sword and went to avenge his death (of course she's no match for Sephiroth) and he beats her down
after that comes Zack who couldn't stand against Sephiroth, Cloud Comes and stab Sephiroth but it seems he need more than that to defeat him, Sephiroth Stab Cloud 2 times and it seems that Cloud was washed with Mako, so for some reasons Sephiroth Jumps into the bottom of the reactor with the head of Jenova

Take everything Last Order says and just throw it out the window. While it's entertaining to watch, I don't like it because of all of the confusion it causes!

Anyhow, Last Order is just the creators having fun and playing around with the events at Nibelheim. It's not really what happened, as you will see when you play Crisis Core, so don't waste your time trying to figure out why it contradicts so many things. It was made just for entertainment, like Maiden who Travels the Planet, so don't take it too seriously
