About the Sister Ray name bullshit

You know how a lot of people claim it has been "renamed" by Scarlet after the transport to Midgar?

I was always under the impression she just reminded Rufus what the actual name is, since everyone always refers to it as the Mako Cannon.

And indeed, in my game she says "this new weapon IS called..." while apparently in the English one she says "this new weapon WILL BE called..."

...so what's the correct one?
What does she say in the original Japanese?

Sister Ray is the correct name. Before the slap-fight with Scarlet, when you are walking through the cannon with Tifa, you can see the name wrote on it.

lol I never noticed that the name of the canon was written on it during the slap fight. I'll have to go replay that part again. XD

Also Scarlet is totally a feminist. :P

I can't find a working script now/cba to look more, but whereabouts is this? (disk 2 in Midgar, Rufus' office?) I'm playing through it right now, so I'll have a look for it if nothing turns up.

Yeah, disc 2. After you inserted the key in the Forgotten Capital. It's close towards the end of the second disc.

Yeah but then people are like "oh lol, continuity error".

I'd go with 'Scarlet's trying to steal someone else's good idea' before continuity error in this case.

PEOPLE are more fallible than the visual and auditory record, in most case.

I'm planning to only go through Crisis Core (100% playthrough) and key moments of FFVII before the ACC release. :wacky:
Yes, I made save games for all my favorite scenes. :geek:

Passed that bit today :monster:

この新兵器の名前は… シスター・レイよっ!

It's just 'this new weapon's name [as for that]... Sister Ray!' It could be either, really. Since it's 'new weapon', that might suggest it's supposed to be a new name. Unless it was something Scarlet had been working on since it was in Junon. Or just an oversight by the developers :monster:

Listen closely, there is meaning in my words.

The Junon Cannon was modified by Scarlet later in FFVII's story to fire the condensed Mako Energy from all the Mako Reactors in Midgar. Making it essentially, a different weapon.

Hence, earning a new name. The Sister Ray. The fact it has the name "Sister Ray" before Scarlet's proclamation, is a continuity error due to the graphical limitations of the game.
