    Except when they don't; so, all the times before "Dragon Ball Super." :awesome:

    [Spoilers] Material Ultimania Plus discussion

    You see this sort of thing all the time in Marvel comics or sci-fi shows like "Sliders." Not every timeline is synced up to the same moment on the calendar -- they may be off by hours, days, years, etc. along what amounts to their parallel "present."

    Significant Differences Between English and Japanese

    Mostly ignoring the obvious implication of your prior address to simply say that the heat did escalate here unnecessarily. We can avoid that, as well as avoid respectful (regardless of whether mistaken) participants from feeling bludgeoned into departing. Very easily. So do that. He can at...

    Significant Differences Between English and Japanese

    Underestimating his opponents is his defining character trait. He underestimated Cloud in Nibelheim and died from it. He jerked Cloud and co. around five years later instead of just killing them, then they killed him as he was preparing to ascend to godhood. He again focuses on taunting and...

    Yeah, unfortunately, I think we're still much too early in Remake's story to properly understand which time travel theory and mechanics this plot is subscribing to. Another potentially helpful visualization occurs to me now, though, courtesy of the final episode in the season of "Loki" that...

    But that was only because he dilly dallied about until Cloud could show up and be forced into being the one to kill her -- which Cloud was unexpectedly able to resist. Had he just gotten it over with, Cloud and the others would have found her already dead.

    [Spoilers] Material Ultimania Plus discussion

    I find that these concepts are made easier to analyze when you think about the notion of various timelines in a multiversal context. From a perspective outside all the individual timelines (a multiversal line of time), it's easier to picture how time travel (whether physical or astral; whether...

    Did Hojo manipulate Lucrecia? [split from Repository of Debunked Rumors]

    ... But she doesn't work for the WRO during that time. Which is the point. And we've already established that Reeve knew something shady was in the basement, with or without Yuffie -- he either assumed it was taken care of by Meteor or looked and didn't find anything. The end.

    SPOILERS INTERmission Chapter 2 Spoiler Discussion

    I don't think there's really anything proving it one way or the other. I just know which sounds silly to me. EDIT: But I do have to agree that the timing with Hojo's copy reawakening a few weeks prior could lend itself to that theory. He should have known how to get them out.

    I guarantee my little Amazon box sitter is a more fitting source of the image for a cat named "Mal."

    Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster [PS3/PS4/Vita]

    Did that not seem like a natural, expected direction? :wacky:

    Yeah, I'm going to pretend too and agree.

    [Spoilers] Material Ultimania Plus discussion

    I wish it seemed that way to me. I feel like 90 percent of the Remake discourse is about time ghost plot police; potato chip bags from alternate timelines; what Cloud knows about his past this time relative to what he knew at this point in the original; what Aerith knows about the future...

    [Spoilers] Material Ultimania Plus discussion

    After the Roman Empire dwindled, there didn't cease to still be a place called "Rome." :monster: Over in the Ivalice games, that name goes from belonging to a region encompassing several countries to a single kingdom to a single town. It's just a thing that happens.

    @Strangelove -- what do you say, hito? You want to deal with the Great Stupid Hate again? :wacky:

    Trace of Two Pasts novel discussion

    No matter what they claim, the malicious and irrational shippers over identify with their preferred woman to the point of perceiving truly absurd notions as personal threats -- e.g. pissing contests over which woman's upbringing is more tragic and sympathetic in this book ... when the point of...

    We also might say she is "down to earth." Always cool to see similar idioms pop up in other languages.

    I specified that I'm talking about how the remake gets discussed.

    Either way, I maintain that XIV's cast and character moments don't go largely ignored beside J.J. Abrams-esque "Mystery Box" shenanigans.

    This is definitely it. She finds his anxiousness here a positive rather than a negative.
