Perseverance (Jessie/Clessie Club)

[Rydeen]

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 ??

I hate how I cannot play this with my brother. He lives across the world (can't stream either).

Very imperfect solution, but you could do what me and my friend do when we want to watch a movie together but can't get together. Just do a phone call while trying to keep your games relatively in synch. I've done it before, it's kinda fun.

We are so out of sync. I think he's still on Chapter 1. He's furloughed, so idk what he's doing right now.

 

[Jairus]

Oh, I see, Ody. Glad to see yours and chewie's art getting more attention.

I'm in Wall Market now. One step closer...

 

[Jessie Rito]

Finally got my copy ^¬^

 

[Jairus]

Great! You're really gonna enjoy it! Especially Chapter 4!

 

[Maidenofwar]

OMG Jairus what does the letter on the floor in Jessie's dad's room say? I don't know if I'm supposed to read it or not, maybe Jessie would think that's rude?

 

[Jairus]

Spoiler

You can read it, she won't know. It tells a bit about her backstory. She was an actress at the Gold Saucer and she was sending her parents tickets to her play, in which she had the lead role.

We wont talk about the pictures on the wall?

 

[Jairus]

Maiden didn't ask about them, but we can, sure. It was nice to see all of them, I just wish we'd been able to zoom in on them to get a better look. Some of them were kind of small and hard to see clearly. You're already to that point in the game?

No but i sawnthe scene

 

[Jairus]

Oh okay. Well, share your thoughts then, if you want.

And Ody, I like Aerith okay so far, but she's no substitute for Jessie imo. She does have one line in Wall Market that I really like, though:

Spoiler

"Cloud...permission to kill."

 

[Odysseus]

I feel like my foreknowledge of Aerith's death has always hampered my ability to form a connection with her. I knew she died before I knew anything else about FFVII. You could argue Jessie is the same, but not to me she isn't.

I'm the opposite. Knowing that their death is coming, makes me want to have a connection to them even more. That way their death doesn't leave me emotionless when it does happen

You see, that's exactly how I feel about ol' BWJ, but not Aerith for some reason. I'm not saying I don't like her, far from it, I just don't have that same connection.

 

[LNK]

I think I'm gonna cave and play tonight. I tried to holdout a week, but I've been listening to some of the soundtrack, and it's becoming too difficult lol

 

[Jairus]

Yeah, I don't have the same connection with Aerith, either. Jessie just took my heart and ran lol. I just really wish she and Cloud could've had more time together, to see her eventually win him over, or that least that

Spoiler

possible dinner date with her that Aerith went and unknowingly hijacked. He should've been having pizza with Jessie that night, not stewing at Aerith's house.

Maybe you just relate more with them?

 

[Odysseus]

Maybe you just relate more with them?

It's possible. Their roles as "not the main characters" make them easier to relate with by default. I've also always been fond of the underdogs, and Avalanche certainly is that for the FF7 fan base (maybe not anymore though.)

 

[Jairus]

I hope the remake's changed that, yeah - them being underdogs, I mean. What we've been given of them (that I've seen) has been great, especially the Clessie moments. I just beat Hell House a while ago so I'm still in Chapter 9, but my stomach's literally in knots about what's to come, especially with Jessie. I don't know if I can do it...

 

[Odysseus]

Keep going. It'll be hard, but trust me.

 

[LNK]

F it! I'm leaving work in 10 min. Gonna start playing when I get home!

 

[Jessie Rito]

I tried to get a closwr look to the pictures on the wall... I guess thats as clear as it gets

 

[Jairus]

Keep going. It'll be hard, but trust me.

I will. Just been bogged down in Wall Market with sidequests. Every time you think you've got them all done, more pop up. Johnny's a riot, though.

Spoiler

I wish we could've seen Jessie in a dress (there were those pictures on the wall, but it's not the same as seeing the actual model in a cutscene), but maybe when we get to Gold Saucer later in the series, there'll be a flashback to her time on stage and we'll see it then. I hope so, anyway. And I wonder, since Cait Sith knows people there, if he ever met her? And through him, Reeve? That would be great if they did know each other. Maybe Cait helped her get her career started and they became friends while she was there. I'd love that and it would expand her story as well, and give her more connections to the main cast.

 

[Jairus]

Just started Chapter 11. I'm almost there. I think I have to stop for a little bit, my emotions are already wound up. I just don't know if I'm ready for it yet.
