The text shows 意志 (ishi), but because it was a transcribed interview, Nojima could just as well have meant 意思 (ishi).

That was from a botched localization in the Reunion Files that we've since retranslated but wasn't caught in time before the video came out. Here's a more accurate version: P. 117 Nomura: At the outset, how and why Sephiroth appears before Cloud was rather vague; we hadn’t established a very...

I'm a big fan of Sleepezi's videos. I love the production value, the music, the due diligence. Even if I don't fully agree with the central thesis, I always walk away having learned something new and with my outlook on the series at least a little bit changed. He's very articulate and organizes...

Same! I totally assumed they'd be identical. Do you know which one is bearded @Makoeyes987 ? It must be one of the Intermission ones, right?

A bit of a digression, but does anyone know if someone's compared all the black robes' models from Remake and Intermission? Are they all identical aside from the tattoos?

I agree, I think the issue is whether a development like that would be narrative overkill. It's a tradeoff. On the one hand, you flesh out your world and the interconnectedness of its characters (and Remake sure is playing up the theme of fate, even more than the OG), but on the other you risk...

I don't think it would "go against everything that makes Cloud 'Cloud.'" Having his dad fall prey to some Shinra nefariousness doesn't change anything about how Cloud was raised or who he turned out to be in the original continuity. If your stance is that any sort of added significance to...

I never said there was a good reason. But it wouldn't require any more suspension of disbelief that many of the other developments in the series. As far as totally unlikely fringe theories go, I find it more compelling than most.

That was also my gut reaction when I read ToTP. And the first place my mind went was that Cloud's father is Sephiroth Copy (or whatever they'll be called in Remake) #1. That may sound ridiculous, and I mean it totally is, but hear me out. In the OG continuity, Hojo located Gast at Icicle Inn in...

If I had to guess I'd say the helicopter trio are just going to be the party we use during the Ever Crisis chapter that covers the SOLDIER recruitment time period, and maybe some of the Wutai War when we witness Sephiroth. Unless we play as Sephiroth during that chapter, which would be sick...

Okay, I'm taking the bullet and watching the vid. -Ray doesn't realize that Nomura pointed out the helicopter trio will be named characters with their own content, so he actually has more of an incentive to theorize than he thinks -Surface level, what if blond guy is Cloud's dad? -Going deeper...

I don't disagree but just to be clear, the author of the theory isn't talking about the Sephiroth Copy project. He's putting forth a totally different hypothesis that Cloud was a test tube experimental baby made with blond helicopter dude's DNA. I think. I should probably watch the whole video...

Obviously agree, though the fact they're going to have their own Ever Crisis chapter opens the door a tiny bit for speculation. I think the helicopter scene is set in roughly 1989 (2007 - 30 + 12), so Cloud would be about 3 years old at that time. So it just barely works with the existing...

He means like a clone from birth, not just the Sephiroth Copy he is in the OG. Is it remotely possible this guy is Cloud's father? Technically, yes, I think so. All we know is Cloud's dad disappeared when he was young while up in the mountains and everyone presumed he was dead. Unless I'm...

Just stumbled across the theory (from Ray Coffman) that the blond guy in the helicopter could be Cloud's father and/or the genetic source for clone Cloud. I haven't watched the full video yet, just wondering what people's initial reactions are. Honestly my brain is too fired right now to even...

I'd like to do this as well if it isn't too much hassle and change it to TurquoiseHammer. I'm trying to sort of consolidate my net presence and also have a less funky hard to pronounce name Edit: Thank you!

It's not very helpful but here's some of the Ultimania's notes about the pagoda. Note that the English translation leaves out a lot of the dialogue between Yuffie and the Five Mighty Saints. [Image caption:] At the Pagoda of the Five Mightiest, the symbol of Wutai’s strength, Yuffie must face...

I was just about to suggest this. It's a neat coincidence that it also (sort of) means "five ways/paths" in Japanese, signifying how he's a fusion of all the other four's strengths, plus his own. I can say the names' origins aren't mentioned in the 2005 Ultimania, which does mention stuff like...

This standoff between the world of the Lifestream, which symbolizes Aerith, and the world of Meteor, which symbolizes Sephiroth, is a pivotal scene that hints at a showdown between the two. Please pay particular attention to the ravaged world of Meteor, a suitable place for our most fearsome...

Yeah it's like a little toy gun for kids. Vincent's looks especially ridiculous with that color scheme.
