Thanks! I'm glad they're giving that part of her character some attention, I just hope they give it some kind of resolution this time instead of leaving it hanging and unaddressed like they did in the OG. I'm a little afraid they'll shortchange her on that and feed her to Biggs just to avoid complications with Aerith and Tifa, though.
I'm optimistic that they will address it in some sort of way

You know, that kick that Jessie does to the guard when she goes all Liu Kang on him by the train, when I played through again yesterday, I realized she's spinning around in the air when she does it, like it's a flying roundhouse or something. I guess Tifa's been teaching her some of her moves. Maybe we'll see a little sparring session between them, even play as Tifa when it happens. That would be nice - a mock battle with with Jessie for real XP for Tifa.

Jessie: "I know kung fu..."
Tifa: "Show me."

I can see Biggs and Wedge watching and taking bets on who's going to be the winner. That could be a fun buddy moment for them, hehe.

Lol agreed! I mean I believe her and Jessie are friends I thought it was mentioned in ffvii so tifa teaching jessie martial arts would not be so farfetched

More than one, actually - I'm just hoping that people still stick around to like her after Tifa and Aerith show up in the full game. Found this, too:

And I see what you mean about people sniping at the ship because of what happens to her. But the same thing happens to Aerith later and she still gets shipped in spite of that, so that's no excuse. They should just leave people alone.

I'm down with that, Shad. Also, if we're extremely lucky, maybe SE will give us something like FFVIIR: Episode Jessie in between Parts 1 and 2. It'd be nice to see her get her own fully playable DLC segment where she takes center stage for a while. Obviously it would have to be some kind of prequel, but it could still work.

Oh Christ please no

Honestly couldn't wish a worse thing on the franchise than them doing pointless dlc.

There's no reason to assume it would be pointless. If it expands on her character, has good gameplay, and tells a good story, there's nothing wrong with it. And given the high quality we've seen from FFVIIR so far, I have no reason to expect any differently from such a thing. There's no reason for you to come in and demean an idea about something that could be done for a character in a thread specifically about celebrating that character. There are other places to do that.

I don't play any DLCs, but I would definitely watch all the dialogue scenes from it if they made one. Especially if it expands on her background a little more. I'm always down for more story

Just DLC in general is a waste.
If your game needs that content to be good then include it in the main game don't hide behind pay walls bringing extra content for characters that had like ten lines of text in the original game before being thrown to her death by generic goons.

Some games that have DLC, didn't need it to be good.

That's my point.
The original was amazing
The remake looks good
Don't throw in needless DLC for the sake of generating more money

If Jessie gets one, can we have one for Biggs, Wedge, Barret, Reeve, Rufus, Reno, Aerith, etc..?

I don't mind DLC because it's never required to get the main story. It's for the people who want extra content. I personally wouldn't buy any DLC, but I get why people do

I imagine a stand alone Jessie thing wouldn't happen, but a prequel episode starring all the OG Avalanche members could happen.

You can't say if it's needless if you haven't seen it yet, Ergo. That's just your opinion on DLC in general, and it's influencing your judgement and perceptions. SE could think of quality ways of expanding her story that hadn't occurred to them in the process of making Part 1 itself but which what will be shown to us in Part 1 may leave openings for. Part 1 is complete, but that doesn't mean that additional content can't be created, content that wasn't thought of originally but might be considered at a later time if it can enhance the already existing world and its characters. Sometimes companies don't think of everything at once when creating the base game, and that's what such DLC can help with. If SE has shown anything about FFVIIR, it's that it's not been merely about the money. And I don't think any such DLC would come from that motivation, either. It would be to give us more content, story, and gameplay than they originally thought of but which could add to FFVII and its experience. And give us something to tide us over until Part 2.

And Ry, I can see the possibility of such DLC's for Biggs, Wedge, and Reno, for example, because like Jessie they all have some combat ability and thus, the foundation for playability. The others though, not so much. Aerith is already a PC so she doesn't need it - she gets enough attention already, and she'll have multiple games in the remake series in which to shine. The same with Rufus, at least for now - he has some combat ability, but I think a DLC for him might work better later in the series. Plus he'll get attention anyway as one of the primary villians of the series. The point of DLC like this should be to give more attention to characters who aren't PC's or main villians but who still play a significant role in the story and have some combat ability to make playability feasible.

You never know, Ody. SE's given her more screen presence than either of the other two. And there's no reason they couldn't still be in her standalone DLC - they are her friends, after all. It would be odd if they weren't there at some point.

That was kind of in jest, to show how thirsty I am for content, even though I know it’s a bit unreasonable to expect and there’s a good chance they’d turn out like shit anyway.
