    Portrayal of Cloud's Mental State (and eventually Zack) in the Remake

    The dialogues in this video tend to show that Aerith is aware of Shinra's harmful activities. It makes a point against the possibility that Aerith falls so suddenly in love with a soldier responsible in part (he just participated in the winning battle for Wutai) for the spread of the "evil". It...

    Analysis of LOVELESS and Genesis/Angeal

    I think that you're right to emphasis that the epic could refer to the Lifestream. Genesis thinks that himself (guess at LOVELESS ). Now if it is not related to Jenova as you're proposing. I think that it's still a very somber/tortured story. I tried to read the entire compilation while keeping...

    Portrayal of Cloud's Mental State (and eventually Zack) in the Remake

    I haven't played Before Crisis, but I know that it's happening before CC. I found this information from finalfantasy.fandom.com : Aerith could have had a global hint of Shinra's operations on this occasion. But maybe they didn't argumented their help call enough or had no time to do so...

    Portrayal of Cloud's Mental State (and eventually Zack) in the Remake

    Wutai is certainly happy to have become a giant theme park... If you're willing to play the game of who agressed the other one first, I've got another argument : Wikipedia > Japan > Modern Era I'm not sure if all japanese people were equally happy when the Tokyo Disney Resort project got its...

    Portrayal of Cloud's Mental State (and eventually Zack) in the Remake

    There's a guy on the Shinra tower cafeteria that tells Cloud he knows an Aerith too and that she works as a receptionist in the lobby. Would there be two Aerith ? Possible. Shinra Building 61th floor (personal translation from french - happy if someone can give the english version) Guy ...

    Portrayal of Cloud's Mental State (and eventually Zack) in the Remake

    I'm not saying that you don't understand things how you're supposed to understand them on a literal lecture, but I have the strong feeling that there's a hidden plot throughout the compilation. I don't see it as an empirical accumulation of commercial opportunities of which the creators would...

    Portrayal of Cloud's Mental State (and eventually Zack) in the Remake

    I think that your analysis perfectly highlights the literal side of the work. I agree with you that CC really has a point in the way it questions the nature of the war hero. We simply do not arrive to the same conclusions. A soldier who takes part of his own will in a colonial fight (against...

    Portrayal of Cloud's Mental State (and eventually Zack) in the Remake

    I agree. A brainwashed soldier of the most unfriendly western inspired organisation on the planet (especially harmful to Wutaian/Shinto culture). A puppy that never accomplished anything great/useful. One that would try to contaminate Aerith with capitalistic ideas. A true hero ? I doubt it...

    How did Seph/Jenova get the Masamune back?

    Maybe every time we see Sephiroth after the Nibelheim's flashback it's actually a hallucination created by "Jenova" (which I consider to be actually the spirit of the planet). She would be able to create individual and collective hallucinations through spiritual energy let's say. Cloud has...

    Were Cloud and Co famous for saving the Planet?

    I noticed a giant poster of Cloud in a quite heroic pose (or someone resembling him with a buster sword) in Dirge of Cerberus, located on a building in the scene where Vincent meet a little slum boy, early in the game (31:17 in a youtube video). But it is difficult to decipher the text below, it...

    Did Jenova left the planet ?

    I agree that Jenova's legacy lurks in the lifestream, but a legacy is generally something that is left by someone that's gone. Moreover, this legacy does not seem to last for long. I noticed that there is a resemblance in the way the Lifestream rejoins Meteor in Final Fantasy VII ending and the...

    Did Jenova left the planet ?

    What is special about her Complete state ? If she is complete then she's probably ready to go. I'm assuming that Jenova can join the Lifestream if she dies. I think you're right to question the distance between the crater and Midgar. There surely is a lag between actions taken at the crater and...

    Did Jenova left the planet ?

    I'm trying to reveal my personal theory about the game's plot. And discussing it. Many games / movies use a form of mystification to keep the viewer / player in suspense. Look at "Usual Suspect" for instance. I think that Final Fantasy VII is a masterpiece from this point of view as well as from...

    Did Jenova left the planet ?

    Complicated task, the kind of one that requires thousands of years of careful planning and preparation. How long did the Meteor stayed over Midgar ?

    Did Jenova left the planet ?

    Yes she's alive but hopped on the Meteor that we see at the end of Final Fantasy VII. Do we see babies in AC ? I mean this is the kind of thing that you do after a war, a disaster. I know that what I say can hurt, this is terribly sad and I'm sorry for that.

    Did Jenova left the planet ?

    What do you think about this reading of Advent Children ? Jenova is gone riding a meteor and bringing all of the lifestream with her, abandonning her children. electricity might come from oil extraction now. No more mako eyes. Materias are inoperative except if used by the remnants that become...

    Mother (Jenova) == Mother earth/mother nature ?

    I guess what I wanted to figure out at first is if there is a relation in attitude between "what we know of Jenova" and "what we know of the entity that produces life on earth". I think I got my answer. In that you really helped. The equation I propose should be Lifestream = Life - Earth That...

    Mother (Jenova) == Mother earth/mother nature ?

    Nojima simply proves by this answer that the Cetra travel from planet to planet. To do this they extract the Mako used to operate their technology. Nothing more.
