And because Tseng didn't slap Aerith this time around, he has to miss out! Though this does beg the question of why Reno and Rude aren't seeing them as far as we know. Reno at least definitely isn't aware of them in the immediate aftermath of the fight in the church. So that's what those...

They're apparently used to being invisible and incorporeal, though, so physically showing up probably isn't as compromising as it sounds. Also, given the culture of origin here, it's to be expected that supernatural entities -- even deities -- are going to be more limited than having outright...

The Remake Ultimania also confirms that the Whispers appear in that scene "To prevent Cloud from remembering his identity":

Sorry for shitting down your neck. For whatever it's worth, your theory (as it pertains to possible future Remake developments) is an interesting concept for the character's direction, even if I don't see how it lends itself as a parallel to the original circumstances.

The variable between Cloud and the other Sephiroth copies is a) Zack, who freed Cloud early and provided him mental stimulation the Jenova cells in his body could latch onto; and b) Tifa, who actually recognized the heap of almost braindead flesh laying at the train station groaning incoherently...

More relevantly, how are you interpreting the first two? "We who are born of the planet" and "shall we one day return" are plenty clear in their meaning about the Lifestream and the Cetra relationship with it and view of it.

There's literally no reason in the first place to think of there being a singular Promised Land that is a specific place -- whether on this planet or elsewhere. The lore makes clear that such a thing does not exist. The Promised Land is where each person finds their supreme happiness. For the...

I was just replying to Mako's reasoning about what constitutes manipulation. For me, going off the information we've been provided, there's no question of whether false pretense was involved in the decision making, so that takes all the "maybe" out of the equation -- as far as I'm concerned anyway.

I know that, silly. I have the book and am one of those who worked on the site's timeline pages. Compare the "25-30 years" label in Vincent's profile to the one in Sephiroth's, though: Those labels just apply to the markers they're pointing to directly underneath. The book's designers used a...

It definitely has his assignment to the job in Nibelheim occuring 25-30 years ago, but mathematically still places his almost-death as approximately 23 years ago. That timeline in his profile designates his birth "approximately 50 years ago" and then has his almost-death occurring when he's 27...

I think Yuffie's DLC has almost solidified for me that there will be four parts. It just seems like Wutai is in for too much narrative expansion on top of everything else going on for it to be contained to three -- but I do remain hopeful. If we really want it to stay at three parts, though...

Ending things at the Mt. Nibel reactor could be fun structurally because: - a) it gives the party something to actually do there - b) if Part 2 begins with the Kalm story, which ended mysteriously in the reactor, then ending Part 2 at the reactor instantly comes pre-loaded with effective...

Is it not providing clarity, though? "This thing happened 25-30 years ago, and this other thing happened about 23 years ago" reads as straightforward to me. I don't really know. All I know is we see her being nice to, romantic towards, etc. Vincent -- and then she's treating him like bubblegum...

Are you asking if it comes up there? No, that's in the Lifestream sequence.

Where else, though, did Aerith ever express fondness for Cloud's awkwardness while also showing irritation towards Zack's flirtatiousness? That description immediately calls to mind an exchange between she and Zack in "Maiden," so I'm not surprised @eleamaya thought you were referencing it.

While I certainly haven't been pregnant myself, I've heard plenty of anecdotes both ways, such as getting so used to it that you forget that you're pregnant, but also never getting used to it/constantly being uncomfortably aware of it. Looking at the matter from just an authorial standpoint...

Ugh, that's one of the scenes that makes her so hard to have sympathy for. =\ To begin with, it doesn't concern only her from any angle; second, she's shrill and irrational AF because of her beyond-childish attempt to push away the reminder of her guilt. Who happens to also be a human. With...

I've been describing Cloud as mentally 16 since 2002 or so when I really started looking at the game analytically -- when I was 16 myself. The irony of that intention seems clear in light of Yuffie being 16, Red XIII being described as comparable to 16, and this situation essentially making both...

I'm not sure that I see any indication Hojo actually knows what happened to Grimoire, but rewatching Lucrecia's scenes from Dirge that you linked, @Cae Lumis , I'm reminded just how intensely abusive that relationship really was ... In addition to denying her access to her son for years, it...

That's correct. She's seen in a flashback tearfully screaming at him to let her see her son. This takes place at some point after Vincent's almost-death, so Sephiroth is at least two years old by then. The timelines put Vincent's almost-death at around 23 years before FFVII's main events while...
