Perseverance (Jessie/Clessie Club)

[Odysseus]

...well, you know what I just saw.

 

[Jairus]

What? What did you see, Ody? No spoilers, though.

 

[Odysseus]

Okay that was too vague, sorry. Plate fall... I actually fucking cried.

 

[Jairus]

Oh. I thought it might've been that. I'm still in Chapter 8. I actually don't know if I can bring myself to get there and see... that moment. You know why. I've still got anxiety just thinking about it.

 

[Odysseus]

Take your time and enjoy chapter 9, it's one of my favorites.

 

[Jairus]

Oh ok. The trip to Wall Market, you mean?

 

[Odysseus]

yeah

 

[Jairus]

That's when the crossdressing event is? I was hoping there'd be a scene or two with the Avalanche gang in there somewhere.

 

[LNK]

@Jairus Glad to see you are enjoying the game!

 

[Jairus]

I am, thanks Pand! Just really dreading Chapter 12. Still a few away from it. And you know, thinking about Jessie's reward on the motorcycle again (as if I ever really stopped lol), I realized that SE must've really wanted people to see that. They made getting that scene into a trophy, after all. And you guys know how people like getting those things. Just makes me happy that they not only did that, but they made into something that people would want to go out of their way to try to get even if they didn't know what she was going to do. So far, she also seems to have had more overtly romantic scenes with him (even if he was just awkward and passive - doesn't necessarily mean he was uninterested, just might not have been used to it or known how to respond) than either Aerith or Tifa.

it's so easy of me to fall into denial. i did the same playing crisis core. i'll skip chapter 12 and just make up an excuse they suddenly left avalanche to elope in a polyamorous relationship

You're welcome! I'm struggling with not starting yet lol. I had to put the game under my bed so it'd be out of sight out of mind.

It seems like that's one of those things were the game has different little outcomes, depending on what the player does, which is definitely cool. I'm looking forward to how his attitude/thoughts on her change, throughout the game.

And I'm looking forward to them dying! Not because I want to make fun of you, but because I find more enjoyment in things that make me have different range of emotions

 

[Jairus]

You're going to like it, trust me. Jessie has officially taken over Aerith's role of getting Cloud to open up. Chapter 4 is where it's at, and if you can finish the bike minigame with 75% health, you'll not only get the trophy, Jessie will give Cloud something you'll never forget and which will really make you happy.

And chewy, for me that moment isn't just about Jessie. I have other, very personal reasons why it's hard for me, certain memories that Jessie and that moment have become connected to and which they bring back. That moment in the pillar's been on my mind off and on for months because of it, and now that I'm close to finally seeing it, I'm curious, anxious, sad, and scared all at the same time. I've never felt this way about a fictional character's death before, but I've never had one so connected to my own life experiences, either. I just don't know what it'll do to me when I do see it.

And for anyone who has, please NO SPOILERS. That includes you, Firstone. I really want to go into it blind. I don't want to know anything about it. I need to experience it purely, so to say.

 

[Odysseus]

You need to hurry up, Jairus. There are many tings I want to talk to you about now.

 

[Jairus]

I'm getting there. Busy with sidequests in the Sector 5 slums. I'm not sure if I'm glad for that or not, to tell the truth. Makes it take longer to move on, but I'm also wanting to see Jessie again. She just steals the screen whenever she's there and has so much happiness and life despite her feelings of guilt about the reactor and what's going on with her dad.

And I just heard some kids talking at the Leaf House. Apparently they know Jessie and Biggs, though I didn't realize those two had ever been to the Sector 5 slums before. Makes me wonder if Aerith ever saw or met them, then.

Lol we'll see. I'm sure you're glad that Jessie took that role from Aerith. It doesn't matter to me though, as long as it works. Hopefully after she dies (either in this part, or future ones) there are some flashbacks or some type of remembrance of her from Cloud. I'd hate to see those missed opportunities.

Remember to put some spoiler tags on specific things from the remake though

 

[Odysseus]

So here's my big fuck off ff7 "shrine," as other have dubbed it:

I'm no longer gonna be satisfied with this thing until I can have Jessie on the back of that bike with Cloud. Gotta start a petition to get that PAK, or something.

 

[Jairus]

Yes, Ody, I hope they do so you can put her there where she belongs. If SE is smart, they'll do that, considering her reward scene.

And Pand, I agree. I hope for that as well, that Cloud expresses some remorse and remembrance for Jessie after she's gone. I know he's not a big talker, but they did form a bond by the end of Chapter 4 - you'll see it for yourself, and it's wonderful! I would so pay for a full game of nothing but Cloud and the original Avalanche crew. If they could do such a wonderful job with them in just one chapter, imagine what a full game with them would be like.

 

[Odysseus]

Spoiler: Mild chapter 13 spoilers

If it makes you feel any better, I think Jessie has already been talked about more post mortem in the remake in one chapter than she ever was originally. There's something in chapter 13 even crazier than that, but I don't want to say what.

 

[Jairus]

I'm going to have to resist peeking at that spoiler. I want to find out on my own. Thanks anyway, though.

 

[Odysseus]

That's fair. I wish you knew what I know now though, it's freaking me out a bit. I wasn't specific at all in that tag though.

 

[Jairus]

I don't want to find out anything relating to the pillar battle and plate drop and its aftermath until I go through it myself, especially if it has to do with Jessie and her moment.

 

[Odysseus]

Nothing to do with Jessie, no. Its something else.

 

[Odysseus]

Ha, my jessie art is starting to get favorited on deviant art. People are catching on lol.

 

[chewbaka]

ah, now i'm stuck in a dilemma. my brother told me that he's getting a PS4 pro and 7R because he doesn't want to wait for the (possible) PC port a year later. i'm so early in the game, but it feels like a lot since there's so much hours, but i do so want to watch an experience it together with my brother....and as much as i adore jessie and the crew, they're not going anywhere....i don't know what to do haha

EDIT: yeah my jessie gifs i made way before the demo are also getting traction on my tumblr ??
