This re-translation was... a bit crazy... because especially that first sentence isn't.... *anywhere*... in the Japanese... Where the English Localization picked up the idea of spirit energy being efficient because it's natural, I have *no* idea. At least everything else is there in the JP in...

As far as I can tell, there is no difference between "mako" and "the Lifestream". At least not by the time the Compilation was created. Multiple keyword entries conflate both the Lifestream and mako with the exact same thing: "spirit energy". Mako *is* what the Lifestream is made of. It's just...

I would say Cloud has an idealist streak more than a perfectionist one... but those are *awfully* close and result in a lot of the same behaviors. Cloud certainly wants to be perceived as what he sees as his own "ideal": that of a confident SOLDIER who can protect the people important to him...

I don't know why he would keep it a secret. The thing is that no one knows what is down there. Zack gets sent there *because* people keep dying when Shinra sends them to poke around. The only people strong enough to keep up with the monsters are SOLDIER 1st Classes. So it makes sense it would be...

In the Japanese, the "Great Cavern of Wonders" has the same kind of title as the "Northern Crater" just with "of Wonders" instead of "of the North" One of the CC Lore Books even reveals Modeoheim is on an island off the same "Great Caveren of the North" as the Northern Crater. The mission...

Kunsel's dialogue with Zack is... some of the most *normal* conversations Zack gets to have with... almost anyone in Shinra. Kunsel "leaving" Zack in Sector 8 always goes weird in YouTube playthroughs as Zack is *supposed* to stick around in Sector 8 for a while interacting with NPCs or going to...

It's outright stated in the CC Ultimanias that Zack and Cloud interacted more in the CC era than we see "on-screen". We get hints of that in some of Cloud's DWM memories where Zack purposely runs into Cloud's MP unit while they are both in Midgar just to go hang out with Cloud (and ends up...

The story is not "Shinra Dropped the Plate to Squash Dissent". The story is "AVALANCHE Has Emerged From Hiding **Again** and Shinra Promises to Take Action Against Them" Shinra just gave everyone on Shinra's side a *very* good reason for Shinra to track down Avalanche with extreme prejudice...

They know more than we'd think... It's just not... a common topic of discussion. TKAA Chapter 6 goes into it. It *seems* to be a known thing that mako exposure is involved in the process of making SOLDIERs. And people *do* look up to them. There also isn't a lot of people who want to *become*...

Shinra's reputation involves around the concept of "saving face". It's not just that they need to be in control, it's that they need to have an impeccable reputation of strength no one doubts while doing so. It's less about the *actual* strength and more about the *respect* that comes from...

I'm sure they did. And probably got the equivalent of a non-answer. And no one is *that* stupid to poke around what is obviously a Shinra PR statement if they don't want to get killed themselves. All Shinra would have to say is that Sephiroth and Zack were killed in action but managed to kill...

I am currently having a very... nutty... time with BT Layle, LD Keiss and 3rd pick. Often times Gilbranth because his "cause next action to be a delay" is *kind of* busted with Launches since it works in Luanches but doesn't dispel the Buff. Layle can absolutly get out 200k damage in one BT...

Wow... that's... kinda crazy... *watches game balance go even futher out of wack*

FFVIII is *horribly* buggy and rather.... lacking... in the RNG department at times. Which means if you know what you are dong, you can get (theoretical) infinite Dark Matters at Galbania Prision by manipulating RNG and winning Triple Triad for example... Which was part of the fun of playing it...

Right... it's just that for oh... Spanish... everything English does with helping verbs is crammed into yet *another* verb conjugation rather than being separate from the verb. So instead of playing "mix and match your helping verbs to get the right tense", you're playing "remember the upteenth...

It's not that there's no verb tenses in English, it's that there's not a lot of verb conjugations (endings) compared to a lot of other languages. Instead of modifying the verb itself, English uses helping verbs (particularly conjugations of "to be") to create all the tenses. Many of them are...

There's at least one NPC in Crisis Core that is writing to Tifa in Nibelheim because he's *from* Nibelheim himself... He's the kid of the general store owner and is trying to get work in Shinra...

I could see that. For Avalanche, the Turks are an uncomplicated subject. They work for Shinra and are against Avalanche and that's that. For Aerith, the Turks are much more complicated and are some of the few people who she has always know about/of. So Aerith not wanting to rock the boat...

And then one of the guys (maybe) seen at the reactor bombing is now *with Aerith*. And the Turks know she has a history of people falling into her Church from the Plate up above... and the former Avalanche *did* want to kidnap Aerith for various reasons.... Really, the Turks showing up and not...

@waw Didn't see this until recently... And yes, there is Ultimania entries for Loveless... at least two of them in fact... There's also some info in an e-mail Zack gets... there's also Loveless in the OG... where it was already playing the role of meta-commentary on the story of FFVII... just...
