This is quite valid info, but I generally fall back on Family of 3, later 4 to kibosh the Barrett is living with them nonsense.

I also tend to ignore their site unless I can help it. I have an allergic reaction to stupid, and I can't hide bodies forever.

Is there really any need to hide the bodies though? Really when the authorities determine the circumstances of the event they'll come to the conclusion that they had it coming anyway and you were just doing the world a service :monster:

Here is something I just noticed today. In Reminiscence the phone calls Cloud gets both Cid and Vincent tell Cloud to go to Barret's place.

Now this ticked something in my head. Barret isn't just roaming the earth so to speak. Going form oil field to oil field. He has a "place" of his own that he stays at when he isn't visiting Marlene. I had never really seen this point made. Unless I am missing something that is.

This matter of Barret's place being the flower fields has been touched on before in ACF. Or at least in the old Faith thread, where we joked that this gave rise to a new LTD, one between Barret, Aerith and Cloud.

Yuffie telling Cloud to go to Barret's place/Barret no tokoro is only that she's telling Cloud to go to Barret. It doesn't necessarily mean that the big guy's got a permanent residence in the flower fields; only that he's there. I suppose that if Barret happened to be somewhere else like, say, at Elmina's house when Cloud got the call, then Barret's place would have been Elmina's house.

This is the same thing with the earlier translation of CoT by xcomp, where Cloud tells Tifa that Denzel had been brought to "my place"/ore no tokoro. I remember the discussion in ACF about how Cloud's line could have been translated as "Denzel was brought to me". If I'm not mistaken, the official English translation of CoT does translate Cloud's line as "Denzel was brought to me".

Well his place being the flower field was one conclusion I wasn't willing to jump to just yet.

Hummm....

Well the idea that Barret had a place to live after moving out of 7th heaven didn't seem like a big stretch.

If this translation your presenting is correct (and I have no real reason to doubt) then I guess like Caine he does just roam the earth.

I got it! Barret is the tragic hero of FF7!!! Sure Cloud also has issues. But he at least has Tits McGee and the brats to go home to. Ole Barret gets to hang out with Cid elbow deep in oil and god only knows what else. Forever roaming Gaia trying to atone for his sins. As if being the only black guy in the world wasn't tragic enough.

It is. The Xcomp translation (when I saw it) also had "my place" in quotation marks or something, emphasising it where it wasn't originally. I think that helped make it seem important and start the whole "~~my place~~ :excited:" business.


Zack/Cissnei: Creators already said they didn't intent for there to be any kind of love triangle between Zack and Cissnei. She's just someone who supports him.

Would be a bloody sitcom if he did live there constantly and despite being a video game, FF7 likes to keep a certain sense of realism.

But he at least has Tits McGee and the brats to go home to.

That's both insulting and demeaning.

lol Oh, I've seen theories that because we see flowers it means that Cloud is definitely seeing Aerith and the only reason he wants the bar closed is either so that he can take the day off to see Aerith even though the bar being opened or closed wouldn't effect that, and also because they are going to have a special meeting with all of Avalanche, not just Cloud spending a special day with Tifa and the kids. Which would maybe make more sense if he wasn't forced by everyone by Yuffie to go to Barret to get a closed sign. :/ I mean why? Why doesn't everyone from Avalanche just show up or call ahead? Why make Cloud go on a special trip if they are all going to get together the next day anyway?

Also yes, official English translation of CoT does leave out the "place" part of Cloud's comment. Hito's example of Seifer saying "Come to my place!" to guards in FFVIII helps to illustrate the context of the sentence. No matter where you are, it's your place because it's your current location, that's all. :)

I don't think I like the idea of Barret just free roaming the world forever. I'd like to think that he finds some semblance of peace and settles down eventually. :)

I know. It's just that "Barret's place" reminded me of the big "Cloud's place" fiasco and I couldn't help rambling about it.

It doesn't. I think he's got his own place somewhere, too. He's a practical guy.

:lol: I'd always thought it funny that so many people kept seeing Cloud as the prime candidate to go off on a fantastic, long journey to atone all by his lonesome, only to find out that Barret's the one doing this while Cloud's safe and snug in a bar with Tifa and the kids.

Is it just me or does Tifa have that, "I wanna pounce on you," look even more so than in the original AC?

A side by side would be nice for comparison.

Either way I wish I was Cloud that night.
