Hey everyone, miss me? No? At least remember who I am? Bah, fine then.
Anyway, I am back once more with this thread, which is all about those moments when something you didn't understand from FFVII or the Compilation suddenly clicked for you.
I'll start with a contribution that's a wee bit embarrassing. Just last night, I settled in to watch ACC again, and got to a scene I had always accepted but never really understood. Cloud gets blown up by Yazoo and Loz, and next thing we know he's in the Lifestream with Aerith and Zack. They heal him and send him back. Except when he awakes, he's now in the Church. For years I've been confused, how did he get there? Did his body move through the Lifestream? Did he get a new body made from scratch?
Finally it hit me last night, only Cloud's mind, his consciousness, was in the Lifestream. It was an out of body experience of sorts. His body, meanwhile, got thrown up and away by the explosion, and crashed down through the roof of the Church. Again.
This may not be what happened according to Word of God, I couldn't say. But it makes the most sense to me. So, anyone else got a similar moment of "Eureka!" that springs to mind?
