I thought that was pretty obvious. She also mind controls people at various points, probably by sharing her knowledge with them.

This but it's less future memories and more her future self has informed her of what's going to happen.

I'm pretty sure she does remember that.

And some people deny that it's a sequel, lol. How can you say "future memories" when memories should be something that happened in the past? The wording would be "visions of the future" if they simply have such knowledge.

Because it's not a sequel. It's just retconning some of the original events with time travel bullshit.

It's not even a plothole. It's a continuity error, at most.

the big theory is that the Sephiroth messing with Cloud is the one from Advent Children and he's "remaking" the timeline so he wins in the end

Also I don't think it counts as a "plot hole" to begin with since anybody who's paying attention and has played the first game will pick up VERY quickly that Aerith (along with Sephiroth) already knows how things went in the original game/timeline.

Was that even a plot hole? Doesn't everyone else in the game recognize Cloud as a Soldier because of his crazy glowy eyes anyway?

There's a line aerith says at the end that kind of ruins this idea and has some implications that I really don't like.

Basically that Sephiroth thinks that in some fucked up way he's actually trying to help the planet and can't see that he's actually just causing more harm. It's basically suggesting Sephiroth isn't really a bad guy he's just misguided.

Wasn't that basically his deal in the original too? He legitimately thought that he was working for the greater good and saving the world because he was too far gone to realize that he was an asshole? It has been a while since I played 7 though so I may be misremembering

His original plan, "the reunion" was to literally kill everyone, absorb them all by sucking in the lifestream into himself, becoming a god / amalgamation of everyone who ever lived and the planet, and going to the promised land.

Who knows what the new plan is.

It is the same sort of thing that Rebuild of Evangelion is. A sequel presented as a remake.

It's a remake that's also a sequel due to alternate realities.
