FF7 Headcanons and Discussion

[Ryushikaze]

itt: sensitive feelings about vegetable awareness

still don't get why there's a super in-depth discussion going on about one of the stupidest details of the compilation but ok

Wait, there's an in depth discussion about [anything from BC] going on?

 

[Mantichorus]

-Part of the process that turns an ordinary person into a member of SOLDIER makes them unable to get drunk.

-Cloud and Vincent have had this done to them, too.

-Despite knowing both of the above, Cid regularly challenges Vincent to drinking contests.

-The compilation takes place in a slightly different reality to the original game. And I mean different to ALL the paths through the game.

 

[Sprites]

Lucrecia meant to sleep with Vincent rather than Hojo on the night Sephiroth was conceived, she got drunk that night and accidently thought Hojo in the dark was Vincent, Hojo of course decided not to tell her and the reason Hojo REALLY shot Vincent was because Lucrecia was screaming his name instead of Hojo's that night

On a more serious note, Cissnei is still alive but defected from the Turks and Shinra after Zack's death and instead went to live a quiet life somewhere away from anything to do with the company. She also felt guilty about being unable to stop Zack's death and as a result felt unable to go back to Gongaga and deliver the news to Zack's parents about their son's fate.

Aerith's fear of the sky comes from her being raised in a building and then under the plate for so long. The sky is so natural, wide, open and free; something Aerith could never fully comprehend after her years in captivity and being under constant surveilance from Shinra, this fear dissipates once she leaves Midgar and sees the open world for the first time with Cloud and the others.

 

[Strangelove]

From age 15 to 21, he was a vegetable.

is that why he didn't know who he was


thank you

i'm a valuable member of this community with many relevant opinions

 

[Zee]

this one time my roommate went grocery shopping and she brought home cabbage instead of lettuce cause she couldn't tell the difference

sadly none of us knew how to make a stew

 

[Unlucky]

I have a lot of guy friends who are the same. Can't tell the difference between a cabbage and a lettuce, that there are other types of oranges and apples and onions, not sure what is a cauliflower or broccoli, etc. When it comes to kitchen stuff they barely know anything, even the basic ones. It's really not a surprise for me, and that's how I like to think of Cloud.

 

[Edley]

Ultimate Headcanon: Each Character has a weakness. For Example:

Cid Highwind : God damn tea.

Go.

 

[Unlucky]

Ok, here's a few:

Rude: good-natured attractive women
Reno: untimely and unscheduled toilet habits
Elena: short-tempered, easily coaxed
Yuffie: pride

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I like those, Pug.

Here's some more
Rude: expensive suits
Tseng: vanity
Reno: his sense of fair play
Elena: tunnel vision
Cloud: secretly judges others
Tifa: burdens others with her self-sacrifice
Barret: licorice allsorts (so more-ish, you can't stop at just one; like Skittles but sexier)
Reeve: obsessive
Aerith: controlling
Rufus: his sense of humour
Vincent: Lucretia
Red XIII: curiosity

 

[Master Bates]

Rufus: his sense of humour

also, stains on his white suit

damn i really love to see more of this guy but don't want to at the same time

 

[Unlucky]

@Lic - Oh yeah, Tseng and his vanity, esp concerning his long black hurr. How can I forget that

Moar:

Cloud: easily quits on things he isn't good at, needs constant reassurance. Tifa's boobs.

Tifa: easily intimidated

Rufus: his attempts/aspiration in art (terrible singer and dancer/impatient painter)

Red XIII: falls asleep whenever stroked

Aerith: tendency to be unlady-like at times

Zack: following complicated instructions

Barret: kids, and swearing in front of them

also, stains on his white suit

^He must've changed a lot during his Geostigma days!

 

[Master Bates]

Barret: kids, and swearing in front of them

Cid MOTHERFUCKING Highwind

^He must've changed a lot during his Geostigma days!

i imagine him having wardrobes full of white suits of the same design (just like dexter).

 

[Unlucky]

Yeah, that's pretty much my headcanon of him. B&W wardrobe because he can't be arsed to look fancy. And only he can get away with those (white) elephant pants.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Originally Rufus wore those huge trousers tucked into his boots, and they didn't look so bad.

I loved
Red XIII: falls asleep whenever stroked
and
Zack: following complicated instructions
It was a while before they trusted him with materia!

 

[Unlucky]

Holy shit I just discovered that Rufus was wearing a pinstripe jacket in ACC:

Not that this is too drastic to change my headcanon.. but still, I never noticed it til now.. my life is ruined

 

[OneWingedDemon]

White pinstripe? I like.
If only he lost the 10-sizes-too-big pants that could be used to blanket a village....

 

[Unlucky]

Or sweep the streets.

It almost looks like a skirt.

 

[Zee]

Aerith: tendency to be unlady-like at times

aeris seems like the type that would let out a horrible fart and then blame it on cloud

 

[Octo]

Yeah, and Cloud would actually blame himself too.

 

[Ghost X]

Looks like they were aiming for a hakama-esque look?

 

[Celes Chere]

My head canon for Reno and Rufus forever is that they actually are pretty ruthless and mostly bitter guys. I just thought of this because some of us were talking last night about how AC ruined the TURKS/ShinRa. These guys are the biggest DOUCHEBAGS on the planet and now suddenly they feel bad about it and want to start a restoration commitee and spread world peace

BULLSHIT

And I hate that they turned Reno into a fucking comic relief my head canon forever is that he's a chronic smoker that hates everyone >8U

 

[S and G]

Cloud: not being able stop wearing his (Deepground) SOLDIER belt despite no longer/never being a SOLDIER
Barret: phantom limb
Rude: Sunglasses that last
Marlene: having to deal with shit far above her age group
Dio: hiding his junk
Square-Enix: consistent storytelling
Johnny: not managing to get beyond gambling at the Gold Saucer on his epic world journey
All of them: CHANGING THEIR FUCKING CLOTHES (except to be slutty in Wall Market)
Tseng: being second only to Sephiroth in the 'being unable to die' charts
Genesis: not caring that people really hate him for that poetry nonsense

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

aeris seems like the type that would let out a horrible fart and then blame it on cloud

i was going to say she's the sort of gal that rips a huge one and then is like 'RED XIII WHAT DID YOU EAT' but then i thought that was too unclassy

Hero Drink makes Aerith gassy

 

[Unlucky]

Maybe so. That makes more sense than just SE deciding to give Rufus a very horrible sense in fashion. Street-sweeper pants + layers and layers of black and white tops =

I like his OG outfit better. More classy and not.. weird.

True. I just like to think that there's more to their supposed "repentance" than just wanting to rebuild the world. Which leads to me wanting a novella/ mini-game/ whatever of the Turks so we can have at least a hint of what they're really up to, and that they haven't really resorted to being completely good guys.
