I think in this instance, the accuracy of Cloud's memory is overshadowed by the fact that it's how the story itself was structured. Nomura and others put that particular materia in the flashback and designed that particular scene to make a statement about materia in general, and about the...

Crisis Core is moot. It's a massive retcon. A couple years ago, you'd probably have agreed with me. :monster:

Yes, but who was the only one in possession of any offensive magic materia? Sephiroth. If you remember the flashback Cloud recalls in Kalm, when he was riding in the transport truck with Sephiroth, he was elated that he was finally given materia to use in battle. One materia, a lowly...

I'll second that tbh.

Not to mention it was well known that Sephiroth was leading a mission in the Nibelheim mountains, and then immediately after the town is destroyed, Sephiroth goes missing and is never heard from again. Very legitimate and compelling suspicions there. Also the pervasive devastation of Nibelheim...

How about that Shinra lost control and the legendary Shinra war hero slaughtered and torched an entire town? Sephiroth was a household name across the whole of Gaia for his many outstanding achievements. In that time he was far more respected than he was feared. That's pretty defaming and...

Technically, BC and CC are both massive retcon elements so it's a bit unfair to compare Banora to Nibelheim. However, Banora did take place well before the Nibelhiem incident so it's possible that Shinra decided to change their approach to dealing with Nibelheim in light of the past events at...

Zangan rescued Tifa from the Nibelheim reactor after Zack and Cloud faced off with Sephiroth, but before Hojo and his minions arrived and took Zack and Cloud back to the Mansion. If your hometown was mysteriously burned to the ground in a single night, and all the inhabitants...

Meatloaf ftw. :monster: Officially no, but then again it did inflate the motive of Avalanche's revolutionary efforts which ultimately lead to the crippling of Midgar and Shinra anyway, so even without investigative suspicions, they still had plenty to be wary of. It's safer to cover it up...

Ambiguity accounts for at least 50% of all FFVII related discourse. Without mistranslated ambiguity there are no love triangle discussions or Aerith/Aeris debates! Fanboys and fangirls worldwide would suffer multiple simultaneous brain aneurisms due to a lack of meaningless topical...

I want money, lots of it, preferably now. ;_;

tbh, I wouldn't want them to fix any of the translation errors at all. After 12 years of playing FFVII over and over again, it just wouldn't be the same.

For the love of god they better not fix "This guy are sick."

I'm back. :awesomonster:

^ Pretty much that. Characters require limitations because the development of any successful RP requires the cooperation of a group of people.

That's the great unpredictability about any RP, the RPers. There are so many different levels of skill and passion. Profiles are used as a basis for the characterization that follows during the progression of the story. It's necessary to have a reference for consistency, evaluation of the...

ORPG's can feature just as much detail depending on the RPer's writing style, but I'll concede that RPB's in general do require a more compacted diction. For an ORPG, the detail is allocated in different ways, and spread out over a much broader scope.

This may be relevant to my interests. I don't much browse the intrawebz with my phone, but if I'm away from my comp, my BB Storm is essentially a mobile computer.

I definitely prefer an ORPG to an RPB. I just have somewhat of a passion for storytelling, but I cba writing a novel. :monster:

@Scott: I'd say that's the bare bones for an RPB, which I know is your specialty. :monster:
