Splitting this up because this goes in a *very* different direction. This is... totally a thing that can and did happen. Or rather, does happen. We do a similar thing today even subconsciously when we name our cars and give them personalities. See anyone who thought ship spirits was a thing a...

The thing is... a lot of religions and cultures don't see a whole lot of difference between the physical world and the mental/spiritual world. If you can mently/spiritually control something, you might as well have physical control over it. Or vice versa, pollute a lake and you pollute the god...

This is half the point of *most* forms of ancient religions. Maybe if you pray/appease/worship/beseech/sacrifice to the god enough, they will do something favorable towards you (or *not* do something bad to you). Most "gods" are like... superheros people can influence to be superheroes in...

I mean... this is more or less how Mimic and Reunion have been described for the last... decade in a half... there's nothing really *new* there. Rather just a clarification that "this concept we introduced in the OG is still very much in play in Remake" There's some people who pretty much...

The thing to keep in mind about Jenova is that it is a *mind reader*. It reads the memories in people's minds, and then it uses that information to make them see things that aren't really there or as fodder for what to shapeshift into. So Jenova, a shapeshifter, could very easily figure out...

Zack has a few missions there in Crisis Core. That is is the place Cissnei is from.

She did not make the whole translation up. But "An important theme of this story is "Loss"" is not *all* of the translated text either. It's one statement at the end of an entire paragraph that *means* something. Particularly... "On the other hand, Jessie is not shoown in the ending because we...

Oh come on. It even works in English and not just Japanese! It's like saying "the World of Star Wars" or "the World of Lord of the Rings" or "the World of Harry Potter". The *story* told in that media is intrinsic to how the world itself works and unfolds. Changing the story of "Star Wars" or...

Not the devs themselves, but you have the JP VAs talking about the Singularity like it is. Given this wouldn't be the first time being "in" the Lifestream is treated as it's own dimention/place to be aware of (including in the OG), it certainly would fit.

If you're talking about FFVII's Singularity... Everything in FFVII to do with the Lifestream *is* magical. Or rather... the Lifstream is made up of magic energy, where everything is born from and everything goes back to. "Magic" is just interacting with parts of the Lifestream in different ways...

The concept of "singularities" in fiction can't be divorced from the idea of the "black hole" (the closest thing we know of that is a physical singularity). Especially how while outside of the black hole no one knows what is going on inside it because information can't escape from a black hole...

Before he was arrested he was flip-flopping. Avalache was no longer until Rufus' control when he was arrested and he was trying (and failing) to get control of it at the Corel Reactor. Which is also when the Turks decided to protect Rufus just because it was their job and prevented Fuhio and...

People seem to forget the Toriyama was the *Director* of the entire FFXIII Trilogy. And before that, he was an Event Planner for the OG and was one of the Main Scenario Writers for FFX. So FFVII being like FFXIII should come as no surprise to people. Or rather... it's FFXIII that is like...

Well... Fuhito's Avalanche *did* try to kill Rufus when they had no more use for him. And he absolutely betrayed them. He was playing both sides right up until the Turks overcame Avalanche at Corel and caught Rufus to hand him over to dad. Also, Elfe and Veld want *nothing* to do with Avalanche...

And I can not think of anything more boring and fan-ficy then we already have. *Who cares* if Zack is alive in some alternate timeline? He's alive thousands of fan-fictions already. We don't need an offical "Zack lives and *can't* effect the actual story of the OG" story. That's a waste of...

I'm following Game Gengo's re-translation of the OG... and I've yet to find a place where the English is more revealing than the JP is. The JP is always more revealing... although that's in part because of how kanji work and how Japanese can fit in a lot more information into the same space than...

The time-travel in Back to the Future is kicked off when the terrorists Doc Brown stole uranium from (to power the time-travel device) shoot him and *really do* kill him right in front of Marty. Marty then goes back to the past to (a) escape from the terrorists and (b) to warn Doc Brown about...

And yet one of the most famous time-travel stories of all time, Back to the Future, runs on there being only one timeline that exists that keeps getting rewritten. The characters don't "hop" dimentions or timelines. They instead to travel *backwards* in time to change things to nudge the current...

Because they've given us *good reason* to doubt it. Particularly these two sections... You have Nojima himself saying they *planned* to have the story of Remake diverge "only slightly" this early into Remake and then Nomura says they decided it have it diverge more... only to cut back on the...

Either that or this story is in the OG timeline rather than in Remake timeline...
