Conventions have been a yearly outing for me since 2012. Tragically the big local one was cancelled this year thanks to Covid 19.I've only gone to one game convention, and I'll have to look out for em next time. I just went because I wanted to see what kind of art, people were selling
@chewbaka its all over chapter 4.
Its that sort of melancholy guitar piece that plays as you walk to her house:

That sucks! I'm not even sure if there was one scheduled for Portland again this year. The one we had last year was cool. I had fun playing the old school Simpsons and TMNT arcade games

From what I've seen so far of the remake, I bet you Jessie/Cloud fans are delighted. I don't think many expected
Jessie to be quite this into Cloud, haha. (Although it did indeed seem that she liked him in the OG.)

Yeah they definitely cranked it up to 11, didn't they. I think at least part of it is her playing it up for her own amusement, she was a theater kid after all. I'm really happy with the treatment she got in the remake.

@Jairus now that we got more of Jessie's back story, are you gonna integrate that in your book? I hadn't started reading it yet, because I wanted to wait till you're done
Parts of it, possibly. I don't want to use it wholesale because my stories (the Lifestream revision and Reflections) are meant to be more hybrids of the OG and remake with some of my own ideas rather than a direct retelling of either one. But I have made some adjustments already, such as incorporating her last name
Rasberry
@Roundhouse - Oh yes, we're quite happy. Especially now that she's done something neither Aerith nor Tifa ever have:
She's kissed Cloud (at the end of the motorcycle minigame if you do well enough).
@Odysseus -
Part of it probably is that, yes. But I think she also has a genuine interest and attraction for him. She's honestly really happy if you accept her date invitation, and you can tell she meant it because if you accept it, she reminds you about it the next day if you talk to her before leaving for Reactor 5. Plus, her words to him in Chapter 12:
"I really wanted... to believe that we..." I think is her admitting to her honest interest in him and her hopes that it could've led to something between them. And Cloud doesn't shut her down. He doesn't confirm or deny attraction on his end, leaving it for us to decide. He simply acknowledges hers and validates it.

Just hold on tight, okay?
ooh thanks ody. i thought it was just the song for the area of the sector. i'm so happy this is her theme, although i did think this was hers at first, since it fits her upbeat personality.

but i do like the contrast of herself as a person and her real theme. and it sounds awfully romantic as well....

Oh, yeah, that one. Yes, I certainly hope it's prophetic. The guy was a visionary, lol.
Actually, having Jessie take Yuffie's spot in the date mechanic nicely solves the issue of Yuffie's age and Cloud going out with someone who's only 16 since Jessie's much older at 22, the same age as Aerith. Another reason to bring her back and let her be there, hehe.

Towards the end of this chapter, Jessie talks about being relegated to stagehand again and starting to think she'll never have a starring role. Cloud then encourages her by telling her there's always next time. I was just thinking about that exchange in light of the ending and her possible survival. What if that dialogue was SE's subtle way of telling us that Jessie will have a more prominent role in Part 2 and beyond? That exchange between Cloud and Jessie might not have such an underlying meaning, but then again, it might. It's something to think about, at least.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. They showed her glove on the dresser for a reason, and they showed it before they showed Biggs alive. Seeing the glove makes the player think of Jessie, and then seeing Biggs alive immediately after that is surely meant to make the player think that if he is, then Jessie could be, too, considering her glove was just shown. Also, her "death" in Part 1 was done in such a way that the wounds were something she could conceivably have recovered from if she'd been found in time. It wasn't as if she'd been stabbed like Aerith or shot to death by the helicopter like that other guy was. Keep in mind also that Cloud and the others thought Biggs was dead, but we know they were wrong. And if they were wrong about him, they could also have been wrong about Jessie. Don't give up hope. We may see her in Part 2 yet.

you know what would be kinda cool? Lets say she is alive... Imagine seeing her in a trailer from behind... Not showing her face though (like they did with zack) still wearing that other glove while in the bsckground a short glimpse of jessies theme is playing

That would be good. Of course, Jessie would probably be the one shown since we already know Biggs is alive. But yes, nothing would say "this is a new story" more than showing a now-popular character alive and well and active in Part 2 who originally wasn't in the OG after Midgar.
