Hypothetical Scenarios

[LicoriceAllsorts]

キモいmeans gross, disgusting. I guess he's saying "Gross, Tseng!" or else "Gross Tseng!"

Powerpuff Rufus is so cute. And actually looks bratty.

Can't thank you enough Lic, I wanted to know what that said for years. IIRC I first saw that pic in 2005

I was thinking what if Angeal and Genesis were the successful projects and Sephiroth was the failed experiment.How would have things been done differently?On another note what would have Hojo done with Sephiroth if he was labeled a failed project.I have a feeling it would have not been pleasant.

 

[Unlucky]

Ok seri0s time What if Scarlet and Heidegger both did not die during the Proud Clod battle? What would their roles be in DoC/ AC and how much would they affect the storyline?

They would be a continue to be a big part of the executive cabinet and probably suggest more corrupt things.And then Sepiroth gives them geostigma which finally kills them off.

Rufus would bring them into his neo Shin-Ra only to arrange for their "sudden and unfortunate" deaths like he's done at least once in OTWTAs: Case of Shin-Ra.

Angeal and Genesis would be raised inside Shinra BUT would have each other and Gillian seems to have gotten a better deal out of her Jenova implanting then Lucretia so they'll have her as well and Hollander seems like he turn out at least more stable then Hojo if he wasn't imbittered by failure so they'd probably turn out better then Sephiroth.

Sephiroth would probably disgarded by Hojo just like Cloud and as a baby his chances of survival aren't good, question is what will Lucretia/Vincent do.

Vincent was sealed inside that coffin 23 years ago counting back from FFVII, but Sephiroth wasn't 17-19 give or take during CCVII which started 7 years before the start of FFVII. The scene where Vincent confronts Gast, Lucretia and Hojo about what they're doing to Sephiroth took place quite some time after Sephiroth was born, Project J was the success and Gast was brought in on the project. And by that time Lucretia hadn't come to her senses yet. Sephiroth's only real hope is that Vincent finds out about what happened sooner a lot, saves him and runs of with him.

Ok seri0s time What if Scarlet and Heidegger both did not die during the Proud Clod battle? What would their roles be in DoC/ AC and how much would they affect the storyline?

They'd probably stubbornly try to continue a public Shinra and obstruct Reeve's efforts in starting the WRO. Rufus would then have the turks tispose of them.

Yeah,Vincent really seemed like the only really sane adult in the room when it came to experimenting on Sephiroth.

 

[Unlucky]

@Scarlet/Heidegger: Heidi ( ) would probably fall right into Rufus's plan. Scarlet, I imagine to be a little smarter and probably would have predicted it, but her chances are slim. Anyway it's either both of them will live or die. One without the other feels wrong to me.

Yeah those two defiantly would have seen their days numbered if they proved to still be acting like everything was the same before.

So.. what if in the next title, Genesis becomes a protagonist and joins our heroes' party?

How will this affect each character and the player's sanity?

 

[Lord Noctis]

Well, I suppose it would depend on the circumstances in which he becomes a protagonist. Does he approach as a friend? Is it more of an alliance of convenience?

It would also come down to Cloud's reaction to him, as he is the only party member who's ever encountered Genesis. Even that was only briefly.

I suppose Cloud might not be inclined to be friendly towards Genesis if he has any memories left from when he and Zack were on the run, since Genesis consistently came at them as an enemy in those days.

If, on the other hand, Cloud doesn't remember those days then that only leaves their brief meeting at Modeoheim. In that case I doubt Cloud would think one way or the other about Genesis.

 

[jazzflower92]

What if Sephiroth didn't turn evil at Nibelheim and remained good?How would have the story changed and what possiblities could have kept him from going down the path of no return?

The possible thing that could have kept him from becoming a monster was actually finding Vincent and getting the straight story.

 

[Obsidian Fire]

^^He could have also just decided to be absorbed by the Lifestream after he fell into it. But that would have made for a very boring FFVII where Shin-Ra is the only real bad guy and the "freedom fighters vs. the evil corporation" plot has been done to death.

Or maybe Hojo would have come to eventually taken the mantle as the main villain.
