Final Fantasy 7 Remake Is Plato’s Anamnesis Theory

This is by far my favorite way to read Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth.

Not as a normal remake.

Not even as standard timeline chaos.

But as Plato’s anamnesis brought into high fantasy.

Plato argued that the soul is eternal, that it once knew perfect truth in a higher realm, and that birth into the material world is a kind of forgetting. The body clouds memory. The world distracts. Truth gets buried. But under the right conditions, the soul can begin to recollect what it once knew. Trauma can do it. Beauty can do it. Cracks in ordinary reality can do it.

That is why this theory gets so interesting.

In FF7 Remake and Rebirth, the world itself has been traumatized. Sephiroth’s rebellion against his original defeat does not just alter events. It seems to create the exact fractures needed for recollection to begin. Cloud’s tears arrive before comprehension. Zack’s role stops obeying the old boundaries. Aerith moves as if she is half-inside memory and half-inside destiny. The more the world breaks, the more soul-level recognition starts leaking through.

And that is where Plato’s spiritual side matters too. Anamnesis is tied to immortality, rebirth, and the idea that philosophy is really a kind of awakening. The soul dimly remembers its divine origin and begins clawing its way back toward truth. In that sense, Rebirth is not just a subtitle. It may be the literal spiritual mechanism of the story.

Aight. Here we go again.

What if Remake is from Cloud’s POV in the Lifestream while he's in that coma after the Northern Cave. It’s retelling the OG story, but what actually happened instead.

Because the entirety of OG is unreliable narrator up until the Lifestream scene, right? The Lifestream scene is where everything comes together and we finally get the whole, accurate story. We get the real Cloud. 

So, if Remake is taking place while Cloud is in the Lifestream, that could explain why he seems to have flashes of the future during Remake, because it already happened.

It can also explain why Aerith seems to have meta-knowledge because she’s already bit the dust and is hanging out in the Lifestream with him trying to help. 

And he keeps seeing Sephiroth everywhere, especially sooner than we’re supposed to, because he’s messing with him in the Lifestream.

Oh! And, it could be why we get the scene with Zack at the end. 

All of Cloud’s real memories are coming back! 

Basically, Remake is him piecing everything together while he's in a coma in Mideel and we’re just along for the ride. And that’s the big reveal for the final installment. Tifa shows up, helps put him back together, bingo-bongo, and then it’s just “Let’s Mosey!” from there. 

Eh?
