In the short anime **Final Fantasy VII: The Last Order** , which retells
events of Nibelhelm conflict, when Cloud arrives to Nibel mountain reactor
Tifa regains consciousness and sees Cloud, stating that he came to save her
just as he promised.

Yet, in original **Final Fantasy VII** Tifa remains unconscious, so she
doesn't know that Cloud ever was in Nibelhelm (and some plot details heavily
rely on this) until visiting his memories.

So, is this a mistake in the anime script? Or is it somehow explained why Tifa
later doesn't remember Cloud visiting Nibelhelm?

Why Tifa is conscious in The Last Order?


It is known that there are various account on what happened in Nibelheim. The
scene where Sephiroth falls into the Mako stream in the reactor was different.
In the original FFVII,

> Sephiroth stabbed Cloud, but Cloud overpowered Sephiroth, lifted the latter
> and throw him into the Mako stream below. In another adaptation (forget
> which one), Sephiroth gladly throw himself into the Mako stream.

This could possibly because the scene in the game was based on Cloud's memory,
thus it might be a bit hazy. In other words, he might not remember it
correctly (the game version of the story).

Quoting Wikipedia,

> Although the 77,777 copies of Advent Pieces: Limited that were released in

As for why Tifa doesn't remember that Cloud went to Nibleheim, in the game she
was unconscious and the Soldier member that was dispatched to Nibelheim was
Sephiroth
