First, Fairheartstrife:
I don't disagree. But, then, we faced the same challenge with Advent Children's super acrobatics. And we met the challenge.
Glad I could provide you entertainment.
Fair enough.
I think we're defining "contradiction" differently then. Because, to me, CC is dripping with outright contradictions/inconsistencies.
True that. We don't know the exact mechanics behind its detection capabilities, but I offered what I thought seemed the most reasonable explanation given the circumstances.
Well, why not? Why wouldn't it make as much sense for him to have activated it there as anywhere else?
Fair enough.
But it's not saying that it was what initially attracted her in any obvious capacity. It comes from a passage where the things Aerith liked in the past are being compared to the things she likes in the present.
So, at 17, she'd found Zack's carefree smile attractive. At 22, it didn't have quite the same effect.
That's why it's an illustration.
You have evidence that Nojima had input on the battle prowess of the characters?
In any case, even if they did work together to make things cohesive, they failed miserably: Once again, throwing a large, metal shuriken the distance of several city blocks after running up a wall and backflipping off it dozens of feet, launching oneself through the air after landing on one's hands, etc. -- all of this is more impressive than not being able to move a young guy her own age. Or to kick down a door.
We were talking about whether the notion of gleaning stuff from Cloud or Tifa should be applicable in Maiden. I'm just saying that it is because of her getting their memories of her father.
Sounds good. XD
Aye!

Fairheartstrife said:Semantic quibbling with the King of Anal (and yes, that's your new title) is just fun.
Glad I could provide you entertainment.
Fairheartstrife said:Nope, that's from me realizing you wrote all that shit to begin with.
Fair enough.
Fairheartstrife said:But consistency is a standard, and aside from minor tweaks, CC in no way outright contradicts any events in FFVII. Elaborated, tweaked, altered a bit, sure, but nothing is completely ignored or changed in order to shoehorn it into compilation. Which is my point.

Fairheartstrife said:I'm sorry but "Life signs detected" on a handheld PDA-device-thing still doesn't mesh with computer fragmented soul bits. Just, no. There, again, would have to be a lot of assumption about the technology in Yuffie's hand.
True that. We don't know the exact mechanics behind its detection capabilities, but I offered what I thought seemed the most reasonable explanation given the circumstances.
Fairheartstrife said:He just happens to be sitting dead at the terminal that the fail safe program activates on? On the Sister Ray? Not in a lab, or an office, or an underground bunker? But on the Sister Ray? Sure...why not?
Well, why not? Why wouldn't it make as much sense for him to have activated it there as anywhere else?
Fairheartstrife said:And I always sound pissed. It's my 'tone'. Just ask my husband.
Fair enough.
Fairheartstrife said:Sooooo...she meets him at 15, dates him, but isn't attracted to him until she's 17...? Okay, then.
But it's not saying that it was what initially attracted her in any obvious capacity. It comes from a passage where the things Aerith liked in the past are being compared to the things she likes in the present.

Fairheartstrife said:By using an outside source not even of the same genre to exemplify a point that was understood as it was, but held in contention? Ok, gotchya.
That's why it's an illustration.
Fairheartstrife said:And Nomura worked WITH Nojima to make sure everything was cohesive.

Fairheartstrife said:Wait, what story? Maiden? The one I say is full of shit? That story? Or am I missing a key element of compilation?

Fairheartstrife said:*shrug* I saw something interesting enough to comment on, so I commented. I tend to do that.
Sounds good. XD
Fairheartstrife said:Thanks.
Aye!
