I only hope Jessie's not alive due to story and emotion sake. Biggs being alive takes the wind out of the sails to his death (in my eyes) I would hate to have the same with Jessie. With that said, if SE can come up with a good excuse (maybe the Whispers deemed death, to not be their fate) I wouldn't mind. I'd just want it to work for the story.
By the time this is all said and done, there is gonna be a lot of PAK figures lol. Potential ones I can think of: her, Reno, Rude, Rufus, Red, Vincent, Cid, Yuffie and Sephiroth. Maybe Zack. Long shot hopes would be Genesis and Angeal

Well, considering the picture of her with goggles and a wrench which you can see in her dad's room, it's probably safe to say she always had an interest in machines and technology in addition to what she did as a living before joining Avalanche.

Just hold on tight, okay?
jessie being popular and being dead isn't much of a problem for S/E (if they plan to capitalize on her/avalanche). just look at zack. yeah, they did expect him to have some sort of fan reaction creating the game, but to beat cloud in a popularity poll once? even now, this year he still won't leave the top 10 in a new japan poll (speaking of, how will jessie/avalache's ranking be now? hmm).
what i'm getting at is, you don't have to be a huge fan of zack to note that he appears as much as it's allowed in FF7 games. he was even in WOFF as DLC just because, since he's so popular he's seen as practically his own standalone protagonist. it's regularly expected to get some sort of coverage whenever anything outside of the canon appears. so yeah, maybe she/avalache is a bit trapping because of their fate in canon, they could have the zack treatment if there's enough demand.
i haven't seen a lot on the jessie merch though, as it was really me, jairus and two others asking for avalanche merch the last i saw, but that was before the game was even released so don't take this opinion as much. far be it from me to be angry more people want what we've been asking for a while lol.

You know, I don't even disagree thay keeping Biggs alive and potentially also Jessie diminishes any sense of loss or tragedy from plate fall, it just that I also don't particularly care 
. If Square has some ideas for using them further in the future, I'm much more interested in seeing where that's going than slavishly upholding the original story.

Wtf, people. Are you not even trying to mark spoilers in here anymore?

I understand, Ry, but
the entire point of beating the Whispers was to be able to change fate and thus, not be stuck with the OG's version of events but rather to break free of them. Jessie and Wedge surviving along with Biggs would be an example of such fate being defied and allow for new story opportunities and character growth for them. Plus more fun times with them like we had in Chapter 4. So I'm all for it, and I believe that her glove there is an indication she's alive. They showed it before they showed Biggs, after all, ensuring people would think of her, see him alive, and then immediately begin to wonder and hope about her.

That's kind of in line with what I was saying to Makoeyes about the chip bag with a different looking Spot on it. There are so many other logical reasons for the glove to be there, but logic isn't the most, well, "logical" thing to be applied here. Its art, its film making. Everything on screen has to communicate something to the audience. Putting her glove on that desk and then following it with seeing Biggs alive made me immediately think "OH FUCK JESSIE'S ALIVE!" I didn't think "some rescue volenteer who saved Biggs also decided to strip a glove off of Jessie's corpse and leave it on a desk for Biggs to find, because that requires too much thinking for such a short scene. Does this make sense?

Yeah, it seems more likely to me that she may have recovered sooner than Biggs and had left the slums for some reason. But before doing that, she must've put her glove on the dresser to let him know she was okay since she'd have had no way to know when he would wake up. Maybe she heard Cloud and the others were leaving Midgar and had left to go meet them in Kalm or somewhere else. And leaving her glove behind would seem to imply that when and if we do see her again, she'll look different than she did in Part 1. Different outfit, maybe even different hairstyle if that was her headband on the dresser and not Biggs'.

Just keep playing and eventually you will.
Although Jessie was outwardly embarassed at Cloud having to carry her inside the bar, inwardly I'm sure she was loving every minute of it. And it's a nice payoff from her flirt in Chapter 1 about how he'd be the first to know if she couldn't walk.
Speaking of Chapter 1, I realized a while ago that how her legs get pinned down in the reactor by the debris is actually a bit of foreshadowing about what eventually happens to her in the pillar when she's buried under the rubble in the explosion. Either the Whispers made the grenade go off early or kept her from getting out of its blast radius. I do wonder why the helicopter didn't just start shooting as soon as the pilot saw her, but maybe he was as surprised as she was.

the fact that the look on her face (which is definitely a variation of jessies theme) is mainly played by a flute makes me want to play it... But on the other hand I'd probably start crying while playing it

Most of my PAK collection was acquired at various anime stores and conventions, I think only 4 of mine were bought online.
