I just got through ch. 12. This was my favorite so far. I cried when Aerith went to get Marlene (I was looking forward to the song that was titled after them. It definitely made me cry). The platefall sequence was great. There was so much more meat to it than the original. I cried during Biggs and Jessie's deaths. I'm glad the game had built them up to this moment. Both songs played during their scenes were great as well. (the ost cant be released soon enough)

Yes, the ending will give you some unexpected hope. But that's all I'm saying.[/quote]

Damn I wish I was that good!

Somebody ripped the textures for the photos in Jessie's dad's room:

They put so much effort into her small segment in the lime light. Seesh.

Yeah, they did. Still makes me a little sad to go there, knowing that the place'll be gone soon. Even if
Jessie's alive in Part 2, her parents most likely aren't and that whole neighborhood is probably just rubble. Although there were survivors from the upper plate as well as the slums, so maybe they're alive, too.

Does he have the textures from the rest of her pictures? There were more.

Those were the only ones I saw. They're on the wiki.
Oh, uh, did I ever put this in here?
AVALANCHE TRIBUTE.png
I paid Obstinate Melon $120 to draw this just so I could put it in the book I was making. Never say I'm not dedicated to the cause! I have it printed as a huge 24x36 poster too.

Yeah, you did. Didn't know you paid him to do it, though. But it's a great piece. :)

I almost bet he would have done it for free, he also did a Yuffie and Cait Sith picture for the second book and those were free. I figured the poor guys deserved payment for something like this that he would never have drawn otherwise, so I offered to pay him in the same breath I asked him to draw it. It was a replacement for his super lazy original avalanche tribute picture:

Well, I asked Erica Lindbeck (Jessie's VA) in the VA AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit about
whether Jessie, Biggs, and Wedge will come back in Part 2.

We'll see what she says, and she might not be allowed to answer since it's somewhat of a spoilery question, but maybe she will. Anyway, I'll let you all know what I find out.

EDIT: Just saw we weren't supposed to ask questions like that, so I guess it'll still be uncertain for now. But I'm leaning heavily on the side of yes,
they're alive and they'll be back
. In the meantime, I found this:

Yeah, I suppose not. I was just hoping I could find out something, but we'll just have to wait and see.

The best you'd get is that they might have a multi-game contract, but they're definitely under NDA about that sort of thing.

I suppose you're right. But having the Gold Saucer date with Jessie would be a dream come true, hehe.
At least now it's actually a possibility, which is more than I ever thought we'd get.

With Jessie's rapidly rising popularity, I'm really hoping Square takes notice. I'm not on social media like twitter or what have you, but I understand that the reaction has been pretty big.

I also just want to say that I'm glad people are starting to realize what a good character design she has. This was something that struck me years and years ago whenevr I first drew her, but for a minor NPC, her design is really striking. The color choice, the armor, headband, she honestly popped to me more than some of the actual main characters did. I think that;s one of the big contributing reasons I've drawn her more than almost any other FF character, she's just plain fun to look at! Tifa's colors are so muted, and Aerith is predominantly red. Jessie's got blue, red, and green in her pallet. It's just a really good character design that Nomura just fuckin slept on for 20 years.

I'm sure SE is well aware of how much love Jessie's getting now, and they'd be fools not to bring her back for Part 2. All the VA's are likely still on contract anyway, so it's not like they'd have to make a new one to keep Erica on board. And I know it's an extremely long shot, but maybe they'll even take advantage of her popularity surge to add her as a new face to the classic playable roster and shake things up a bit. I know it's unlikely, but it's probably more likely now than it was before Part 1 came out. If any member of the trio were to have the potential for such a promotion, it would definitely be her. And I'm sure a lot of people would love it if that happened, considering how well-liked she is now amongst the fanbase.

Don't go getting too many ideas until we even actually know if
she's alive
. Square would be fools to not indulge this popularity of a "new" character in any way though. Give me some damned merchandise already.

Yes, a PAK figure for her or something else would be great. But I'm pretty sure
she's alive. SE left that possibility wide open by having her glove on the dresser and Biggs alive.

Just checked out the merch twitter. Plenty of people specifically asking for Jessie! Sephiroth, Reno, and Rude are next, maybe she'll come after along side Red XIII and maybe Rufus. I can dream okay?
