Yes, I meant if if it was ever confirmed in the game that Brian Lockhart was previously the mayor. It is stated in his profile in Ultimania Archive but I can't recall it from the OG

I know that at least one Ultimania states he was the mayor of Nibelheim but I don't recall it being ever confirmed in the game.. ? Or am I misremembering?

In BC yes, in Last Order they turned the "player turk" into Martial Art, just like CC tuned the player turk Zack faces on the shore after escaping Nibelheim into Shuriken/Cissnei.

According to LO (not sure but I think it was also stated somewhere else, maybe in an Untimania? I should check) it's Martial Art (female)

The problem with BC is that it forced the player Turk to be the protagonist of all the main moments of the story. Probably they'll just mix both versions in a more believable way, Cloud and Zack will meet the Turk and then Zack will talk with Tifa (or the contrary). The player Turk being there...

This clarifies the situation. Nonetheless it's still annoying that they unwillingly created this confusion. Everytime Dismantled is mentioned the conversation digresses on those four quotes to revolve around shipping arguments and all the rest of the book gets overshadowed as if it didn't...

I have the same feeling. Anyway IIRC they re-published a revised version of Dismantled in late '97 or early '98 where they added some info about the parts released in the international version. I get that back then it really wasn't perceived as something important. The game had to be a...

This is so interesting! Early stages of the development means also a scenario without Zack so, I guess, an even closer relation between Cloud and Sephiroth. Maybe I'm overthinking but in AC Cloud's left arm is the one affected by Geostigma. Did Studio Bentstuff compile other additional...

Yep, what I mean is that the novel is poorly written even just in the light of the OG. The author basically avoids the issue and offers no re-evalutaion of the situation after the misunderstanding about Cloud's personality is clarified.

Agree with your post. Really? I'm an active redditor and I have to say that most of people on the FF7/FF7R subreddits are definitely CT/ZA supporters. Or better, they're people who know extensively the OG and the compilation and they got to the same logic conclusion. There's a very little group...

@MiraTora Hi!!! I don't object much his conclusions but rather the way he expressed them in the novel. Aerith meets Zack in the afterlife and she doesn't really confront him about their feelings, she doesn't acknowledge his merits fot having saved Cloud carrying him unconscious from Nibelheim...

This quote is not from Maiden but from Case of Lifestream White and the verb used in the English revised version is "she had loved him". Anyway I saw people claiming that in other localizations (for sure in the French, German and Italian ones) Aerith says "she loves him / he is her lover" or...

I checked on Reunion Files: "The wolf is a symbolic figure that represents the deepest part of Cloud's psyche. It appears in response to some burden that Cloud is carrying deep in his heart". I haven't found anything about Fenrir in particoular but I guess the gray wolf actually is Fenrir.

The Fenrir is mythologically associated to a negative significance, so the rings could symbolize also their guilt (yes, Denzel is a kid but according to his short story he suffers from survivor guilt). Indeed Marlene hasn't one. But since Cloud has fenrirs..everywhere I think it definitely...

In AC he states that he left the bar because he couldn't even take care of himself, let alone his family (can't recall the exact lines). Guilt is a huge component of this character but in this case I had the impression he also felt like he didn't deserve them anymore. The context is different...

If pixeled boys count, Cloud is definitely a perfectionist: "I have to be the best or I don't deserve to be loved", a well-intentioned argument but nonetheless one of his biggest flaws. This attitude ends up hurting not only Cloud, who has overly high expectations on himself, but also all those...

Less than expected. But the most common interpretation is that "he's with Tifa because Aerith's dead. Had she survived he would have ended up with Aerith". Also from CT fans and casual players who have no interest in the LTD. So Tifa is essentially a second choice and Cloud becomes a despicable...

It's definitely both. Tifa fears that her revelation could have bad consequences (she states it in the Lifestream), but she is also insecure per se, and this attitude is not much different than her behaviour in On the way to a smile. It could easily be also a consequence of the traumas she...

Well self-doubt and hesitation to face/express her emotions are Tifa's flaws, it's part of her character. That said the story is constructed to work with these flaws being part of the mechanism, and they even turn out to be positive ones in this specific context. About the reason why Tifa...

Hehe.. CC Zack is so blatantly in love that even mass-murderer son-of-an-alien Sephiroth notices it and still there are hordes of people grasped to PLATONIKKU and WOMANIZER to try to invalidate zerith, I don't even want to try to figure out how harder it would have been if he had really acted...
