Barret post-Meteor

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I didn't want to hijack Shademp's DoC thread so I'm making this one.
Question: is it specifically stated either in DoC or elsewhere that Barret was explicitly working for the World Regenesis Organisation in his quest for a replacement fuel? or is that simply assumed by fans?
Thanks!

Edited to add: Mako's character profile translations from the Ultimania suggest that Barret isn't in fact working fir the WRO until the Deepground crisis, at which point he 'joins forces' with them: "In order to stop the DG SOLDIERs’ acts of violence, Barret teams up with Cloud and friends and cooperates with the WRO."

Yeah I gathered that Cloud, Barret, and Tifa (and Vincent) just help out in Dirge, but are not actually members. Whereas Cid and Yuffie seem to actually work for him.

I presume that when Reeve calls Cloud in Advent Children wanting to "help you out," he wanted to offer Cloud a job with them. But I doubt he would've taken it.

That's the impression I got, too, but the wiki says Barret is a WRO employee. I think the wiki might be wrong about that.

Doesn't Case of Barrett say that he's just working with a small team of people?

He's working with Cid, Shera, and their people to locate and refine oil. Being that they're working with the WRO, it's probable that Barret has had involvement with them prior to DoC, even if he's not necessarily an enlisted operative.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Oh yes, I agree. I don't want to make out he has no connection with the WRO.

You think Reeve pays them 'consultant fees' for when they pitch in and save the day for him?

Or maybe he puts an order in through the Strife Delivery Service.

I always thought that Reeve phonecall was an actual delivery job.
