It's worth re-mentioning that the look of Jessie in Remake was designed by Robert Ferrari, and the design was inspired by Roberto Ferrari's wife, so there's probably someone internally who's just as happy to have her character appearing in more content that is entirely unrelated to particularly self-important pockets of fan-obsession.

Super cool that the more major NPCs are getting ways to make appearances in side games and things like that.

Wasn't there a theory we would see an actress Jessie blazing through Gold Saucer while having zero recollections of her time as an Avalanche member and of any of her friends? I always thought that was really interesting, but I'm still having a difficult time grasping all of this

If by 'theory' you mean, "someone on the Internet has made speculation that, because we haven't seen solid confirmation that they're definitely not doing that, then it's technically possible however wildly improbable" then most likely that's one that's been presented before, and if not – congratulations for doing so.

The trick to Wedge's survival is that he hijacks on Sephiroth's spirit in the lifestream and becomes Wedgeroth, the one-winged cat guy.

I'm calling it now: since destiny has been literally killed and anything is possible, this is what happens.

Wedge, having been crushed under Sector 7's collapsing plate, dies a hero's death. His final act was to toss an armful of kitties the last few feet necessary to clear them out of harm's way, before being flattened into the Midgar soil.

As his soul departs his mangled corpse, he sees nothing but absolute darkness. The absence of anything is oppressive and infinite. Just as the tinge of despair begins to tickle at the edges of his mind, far off in the distance he sees a faint greenish light. It calls to him. He floats closer to it, and the light grows stronger, warmer. He can't say why, but he knows that it just feels... right. This is where he belongs. He's coming home. As he draws near, he can see lazily drifting tendrils of spirit energy, inviting him closer, promising relief from this tiresome existence. "I hope my cats made it out okay," he thinks as he closes the gap. "I'll see you again one day. Everyone's getting belly rubs!"

He reaches out a finger, and a single stream of energy splits off from the others, reaching towards him. The warmth is so strong now, washing over him, and now through him, relaxing him to his very core. "The guys are never gonna believe this," he says to himself, as his fingertip gently makes contact--

The light vanishes.

Wedge snaps his head up, as if waking from a dream. He's still floating, but it's not... this is... something's wrong. "Wha-? Where am I?"

In the distance, a low chuckle.

"Hello, Wedge. It's so nice to finally meet you in the flesh, so to speak." Wedge turns toward the voice, and is greeted by a face framed by long, platinum-white hair, a knowing, thin-lipped smile, and cat-like blue-green eyes.

"I have so many wonderful things to show you."

I have a question about Jessie which is partly linguistic, partly characterization-related.

So I've recently found an entire FF7R let's play fully translated into Russian and voiced by the same streamer. He did an amazing job all in all, so I decided to check a few specific moments, e.g. how he had managed to translate Jessie's iconic "Psych!". So in his VO, it just meant "a joke" (i.e. "kidding!"), because that's what we say to retract the previous statement in a playful manner.

The definition of "psyche" in Urban Dictionary says:
- A term used to indicate that whatever the person speaking just said was done so purely to mess with the listener's mind, to 'psych' them out, if you will.
- To fake someone out. To lead someone on and then to immediately decline an ending.

So basically, every time Jessie says "Psyche!", does she mean to say "Hey, don't take it seriously, I didn't mean it" ?

Like, "Yeah, come tomorrow night, I'll make you a pizza-- Nah, don't come, I'm just messing with ya" ?

That's an interesting one. For me, it means an acknowledgement that what she just said will have confused Cloud/put him on the back foot, with the potential double meaning that she's only joking - except not definitely, so it keeps Cloud guessing and confused. Be interested to hear what gets used in other languages.

Listen closely, there is meaning in my words.

Jessie likes to playfully flirt and keep the person she's flirting with guessing. Hence, Wedge's warning. "Life's a stage and love's the play."

But no, she does mean it. She just tries to not make it too obvious that she's extremely attracted to Cloud, because when Cloud actually does take her up on her offer, she gets flustered and she tries to save face and maybe keep Cloud on his toes.

Because after all, Cloud's been repeatedly cold and somewhat non-receptive of her advances until then. So she thought she'd tease him some back.

It's playful game flirting 101. But she obviously does want Cloud. She probably would've sought Cloud out if Cloud did think she was joking to tell him she wasn't and she was just tricking him.

But is she flirting with him because she actually wants him or flirting with him to get him to lighten up? I always assumed the latter and thought there might have been confirmation of that somewhere, but I guess not. Still gonna see it that way though, since thats how it plays to my mind whenever I play 7R...
