Yeah well like 4 people played that anyway.
I thought we already established only 4 people played BC .
Because Japan doesn't exist, right?

Shinra had already tried to steal her once. Red and Bugenhagen lied about her and concealed her existence from everyone so as to protect the future of the species.
Job done.
Then what was he so damn jealous about? Still though, do any NPCs mention him or Angeal besides the Midgar fangirls? Other people mention Sephiroth.
And Sephiroth didn't encounter super-stardom until after his media attention for being a hero of the Wutai War, right? Genesis vanished during the war and would never have gotten such attention. Everyone in Banora would know of him...but Shinra took care of that.

There's really no defending the stupid that is the entire concept. =P
Were their deaths publicly announced? Or just to SOLDIERs? I know the fangirls had heard but...they're fangirls.
It earns them money?
There should be a balance between GETTIN MONIES and coherent storytelling.
I think the trouble with BC (though I've not looked into all of it) is that while trying to expand on the story of the Turks and all that, it also seemed to want to shoehorn in appearances from the rest of the FFVII cast. So Red has to show up and meet the Turks, and so does Barret, and now the Turks are in Nibelheim meeting Cloud and Tifa because you can't see that scene enough times. So they end up making stories for them and in cases like Red's, they stop making sense with what came before. It just ends up seeming like they're in BC because they were from FFVII and you have to push everyone into the game. I've not read or seen Red's chapter, but it seems like "we wanted to fit Red in somewhere and had to throw together a story for him".Even were that explanation workable, it would still render Red's understandable anguish over being the last of his kind completely empty and insipid by making it an irrelevant ploy that he brought up unsolicited. In any case, though, that explanation isn't workable, as even in private conversation, Red and Bugen talk as though he's the only known member of his species remaining.
It wouldn't feel like we're being sheistered if the entries in the Compilation were *also* stand-alone entries. Every freaking entry ends on a cliffhanger, like a soap opera. Genesis at the end of DoC (and CC) all that "I will never be a memory" B.S.
If they took the time to make actual complete entries instead of 'intricate pieces of the puzzle' they would be better recieved by the world outside of blind fans.

hito said:I thought having appearances by Azul and Shalua seemed like a good idea, to flesh out their backstory (and then Azul's was just "LOLOLZ I WANTS TO BE STRONGERER" and I've not seen Shalua's).

I really don't understand why everyone takes "I will never be a memory" to be some sort of cliffhangar. How many FF villains die with a similar kind of line? Interestingly, Sephiroth was one of the few who didn't.
