The episode in our Final Fantasy VII Remake Mystery series concludes with a bang and brings this the analysis and unveiling of Aerith's Secret to a close.

Aerith is a very important character in this Remake project and we're going to try and found out why exactly. There is so much to her involvement in the new plot elements that a single video would be too much to handle all at once, so we decided to split it into 3 parts and only release a complete version afterwards.

Most people have already noticed that Aerith knows more than she should, but how and why? What are the ramifications of this fact? Let's find out!
