Not in the Material Files, but very cool world-building info... And the International War from the Early material Files is being brought back and we *finally* get the name of the country Shinra took over! Hum... wonder who they were fighitng against... *looks at Wutai*

The Lifestream is literally made out of memories. That is what "mako" is. Memories that are so concentrated it's a physical substance. Honestly, it's more or less what Kingdom Hearts is in... the game series of the same name. We've known this since the OG at Temple of the Ancients when...

That also confirms it's not Aerith herself that is the source of the visions, but specifically the White Materia she has. Which has some... interesting implications given what Holy actual does. It's supposed to get rid of anything bad for the Planet. How it does that is... very nebulous...

This is the classic set-up for the vast majority of FFVII Time-Travel fics. Someone in the past "wakes up" with memories from the future and has to decide what to do about them. Usually it's Cloud. Sometimes it's multiple people. It is hardly ever Aerith because she was already dead by the time...

Aerith has edged ahead of Cloud for me in Remake. I think she's the main character of the Remake series while Cloud is the pov character. He's a pawn in Aerith and Sephiroth's bigger game. Which ever side gets him wins. Aerith is the one with more agency at the moment than Cloud is too. Cloud...

Picturing the Past, the Aerith short-story in the World Preview book for Remake. It's a fantastic look at Shinra's MPs and how they go about getting information they probably shouldn't exactly have access too. Shinra was a leaky sieve for confidential information in Crisis Core and PtP just...

There's an entire mission line in Crisis Core where Zack has to kill monsters that have somehow escaped the Shinra Labs to the Slums. It ends with Hojo's 2nd-in-Command being lead away by security after he has a full on mental break down saying he let out his experiments to get revenge on the...

It's also mentioned in Picturing the Past that people have gone missing from the slums for a *very* long time.... and then show up later being mentally out of it (Sephiroth Copies). The Shinra Labs are very leaky of their monsters no matter where those labs are. So monsters in the slums from...

At some point, you really just need to read the material for yourself. Half the reason I know as much as I do is because at one point I sat down and watched playthoughs of the games and tracked down game scripts to read and re-read and searched for the ultimanias and lore books. That's how I got...

Err... we went over that line in context already. It's not about if the experiment involves people other than Lucrecia. It's about how Vincent isn't her boyfriend anymore and that she thinks he's too interested in her business now that they've broken up. IE: Lucrecia is reminded Vincent that...

The Planet (the Lifestream) *can* do massive damage to the Planet (the rock). See when it physically breaks apart the Planet in the OG to stop Meteor. Or how it made the Weapons in the first place and how much they can tear the land up. Or just... Omega's shear size. The Lifestream swarming...

It's really good timing for a lot of things. The FFXIV community is just in down time until a next expansion launches, so most people don't feel quite so rushed they don't want to help newbies out. The WoW community is looking for another MMO they actually *like* playing and where the devs seem...

Who the heck cares what it looks like? It's been dead for over 2,000 years under (in?) a glacier. IRL glacier mummies don't look particularly human either. The more important thing is what its DNA look like... which... shapeshifting alien that can mess around with DNA... that can read people's...

My thing that gets to... a really fine line... is that there will always be women who let experimental procedures be done to their unborn children when they don't think it will hurt them. Most of the time when there is something wrong and it might be fixed with something untested. There will...

This is all a reference to things we already know from the OG and other Compilation entries. (Granted, some of it was botched in the OG due to it's really bad translation.) It's also worth pointing out that this entire poem is from a piece of propaganda made by Shinra to make them out to be...

The very first mention of the Promised Land by a Cetra is here... and it's very obvious it's not a physical place but a metaphysical/religious concept/idea. Aerith wasn't told to find *the* Promsied Land. She was told to find *her* Promised Land. Everyone's "Promised Land" is different and...

You can just hear Yoshida eyeing certain SE devs when he says he doesn't like stringing people along...

Again... our own site has translated this when it comes to the Timeline... The first thing to say is that we *do not* have a birth year for Vincent. We legit don't know exactly how old he actually is at the time of the OG. All we know is that he was 27 when Hojo shoots him and Vincent stops...

My big thing is that Junon, Costa del Sol and Corel/Gold Saucer are all *ripe* for being vastly expanded upon. The one problem is... they are all one right after the other and are *very* linear. I feel like those *have* to be broken up somehow between two games. Ending Part 2 at Costa Del Sol...
