He does, but you can be liked/respected and an unpopular dweeb at the same time. It's weird, I know, but it's definitely possible.

Cloud was generally a giant lame-o, despite being hyper competent (like seriously, other than the Black Materia cray-cray, Cloud gets shit done), liked, and respected by generally everyone around him. But he was still super corny despite this. Dorky doesn't have to mean 'socially awkward'. It...

Yeah, the idea of 'challenge' that just inflates enemy HP is seriously amateur hour. If anything, real challenge is often when battles are shorter (not necessarily short, though) but tense and demanding with the player's goal being to swing the advantage in their favor as efficiently as possible...

While I'd welcome good adjustments/upgrades, the original Materia system really didn't have that many problems. The problem is that the original game was far too easy and unbalanced, and thus the player wasn't encouraged to ever really dig deep into the Materia system or have much lateral...

Ah! That I didn't know!

While I wouldn't really mind if it was the case, you mentioned that the FFVIIR would be a new continuity from the original FFVII series; what is the source of this info?

Crisis Core has a pretty huge following.

That's not the kind of reference I'm talking about either. All that really would be needed is a vague reference about a shady medical facility where they do mako based enhancements or some shit, or a shady underground facility, or a shady reserve force of SOLDIER that nobody's ever seen, or a...

i am cat rage room That's pretty much what I'm talking about and that's all that would be necessary. What was the last good game with good writing you guys played? Ya'll realize that clever references aren't heavy handed "HEY LOOK GUYS THIS IS DEEPGROUND FROM THAT OTHER GAME WITH DEEPGROUND...

huh what??? Respectfully, I don't understand that sentence. If what you're trying to say is that Vincent's and Reeve's ignorance of Deepground implies that the party of FFVII by extension also couldn't know about it, that doesn't mean that they couldn't include a reference. The...

As opposed to the dozens of other super secrets that the party/player finds out during FFVII? Don't get me wrong, I get what you're saying. When I was a kid I was sold on the idea of secrets being so secret that nobody ever finds out but I think when I joined the Navy the concept fell apart as...

While the remake shoehorning in the Compilation in the main game would be a fucking pain in the ass, it would be irresponsible for them as writers and forming a narrative to just forget it exists entirely. I hate that shit; if you write something in a lore, follow through with it (and make it...

eeeeeyyyyyyyy whaddup doe

Doesn't the game more or less straight up say something to that effect?

I think in this context 'strength' is less what say, how much you can lift and how much damage you can do, and more just straight up physical constitution as a whole.

Cloud isn't really a weak person objectively, he just wasn't strong enough (or 'too weak') to get into SOLDIER. Which really isn't a big deal, like, in the Navy, someone who tries out for the SEALS (or any other SO rate) and fails isn't at all thought of as a weak person. Sure, 'too weak' to be...

I wager this is most probably because President Shinra oversaw the company during its founding and growth; before it could afford to get away with blatantly being corrupt and totalitarian. During those nascent years when Shinra was enveloping the globe and its governments, it was vitally...

Ah, my mistake. Alright, I'm gong to level with you; I'm making the most sense by using the simplest rationale (as per Occams Razor) for a situation that honestly, wasn't really well written or conceived in the first place. I definitely wouldn't give the writing associated with Genesis (or...

If anything that only helps my argument, that was before Genesis; couldn't they have learned from that very stupid and very fatal mistake?

We're speculating because we're not really sure of Genesis level of strength relative to Deepground's, but generally (and I feel comfortable saying this as an actual representative of a military), military forces, at least smart military forces, aren't in the business of getting into fights that...
