History Awesome / FinalFantasyVIIRebirth

** One of the Weapons is attacked by Sephiroth, and while he's able to cut into its shoulder, his sword gets stuck and even forcing it through with both hands only leaves a shallow cut. This prompts Sephiroth to lose his composure and visibly panic, the first time he's ever been portrayed doing so.

* Cloud manages to actually block Sephiroth's attack--the same one that killed Aerith in the original game--through pure HeroicWillpower. Thanks to the timelines getting messed up, [[AmbiguousSituation it gets muddled]], but Cloud still managed to pull it off.

* An understated awesome moment for Zack - Sephiroth notably abandons his usual taunting and mind games whenever he encounters Zack, first by having the Whispers drag him away, then by taking on him and Cloud in battle, and finally, trapping Zack in a world about to be destroyed by Meteor and manifesting as Bizarro Sephiroth. Zack defeating Bizarro Sephiroth on his own and surviving is its own moment of awesome, but the amount of focus Sephiroth puts on getting rid of Zack specifically indicates [[NoNonsenseNemesis shows how much of a threat Sephiroth considers him to be]]. And this is because of two reasons - First, Zack is perhaps the only one amongst the heroes who could pose a genuine threat to him, considering he was able to force him to go all-out when they fought on Nibelheim AND was the only reason why Cloud was able to beat him at all, showing that while Sephiroth might be dismissive of Zack and their past, even he cannot dismiss Zack and wanted him out of the way because he knew Zack working with the heroes would allow them to surely best him in combat. Secondly, Zack's [[IncorruptiblePurePureness goodness]] makes him a PositiveFriendInfluence to Cloud, thus making him a major roadblock for Sephiroth when it comes to pushing Cloud over the edge.

And it isn't because of Zack being equal in skill or power to Sephiroth (anyone who played ''VideoGame/CrisisCore'' would know he isn't) - it's because of Zack's [[IncorruptiblePurePureness goodness]] making him a PositiveFriendInfluence to Cloud, thus making him a major roadblock for Sephiroth when it comes to pushing Cloud over the edge.

* The original game implied at the end that Aerith has a lot of untapped potential, but here the audience gets a firsthand look at her in top form upon receiving a fully functioning and powered up White Materia, thanks to her successful BatmanGambit. She can hijack Whispers, provide support across timelines, and either summoned an avatar, one of her AlternateTimeline selves, or even showed up as a Lifestream ghost to battle Sephiroth at the Edge of Creation. Her BigEntrance alone deserves mention, where she summons her White Whispers to overpower Sephiroth's black ones before stepping into the fray herself, complete with a powerful, slow-motion stride amidst white and rainbow effects, making it loud and clear that she's done playing around and is ready to kick serious ass.

** * What does Barret do when Cloud had initially slashed at Tifa during one of his hallucinatory episodes and is now sitting in a daze not doing anything? [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan Slap him across the face]] then tell him to get it together because everyone is still in danger, particularly Tifa. This ends up working.
