Quexinos, thanks for jumping in there, but it's okay. It's not a big deal. But certainly you'd agree there's a difference between decapitation or face impalement and a stab in the abdomen -- or the leg or shoulder as the case happened to be? Moments to live is still not instant death, which...

I realize this discussion was dropped a while ago, but having now seen the movie, I'd like to comment. I think the very fact of Sephiroth not putting the sword in his face instead of those other spots would be why many don't feel Sephiroth was taking it as seriously as Cloud. Obviously Cloud...

Re: ERSB confirms Final Fantasy IV The After Years to the US To add to what I said earlier about how FFIV the After just recycles everything from the original? Yeah, not done yet. *SPOILERS* So they fight the Creator's final form, can't hurt it, and get defeated. The other party...

Re: ERSB confirms Final Fantasy IV The After Years to the US I checked the Japanese Wikipedia to find the origin of the name "Minus," by the way. It should probably actually be "Maenad" or even "Mainas." The latter is what the katakana says, and the plural form in...

Re: ERSB confirms Final Fantasy IV The After Years to the US Isn't it, though? XD It seems like they pretty much just tried to reuse the plot of the old game. By the way, since you seem interested in the game, last night I translated what the Creator says when you meet him for the...

Re: ERSB confirms Final Fantasy IV The After Years to the US You mean The Crystal Bearers? It had a trailer recently: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKeIm_gYmMk#noexternalembed Looks awesome. Whoa, for a second I didn't realize you were serious. But you're serious? The After's...

Yeah. I know. :( But it sounds good. ...I like it. ...Fucking alligator. EDIT: You know what, fuck the truth. Looking at the story this way removes that one major flaw in FFIX, and there's nothing that says we can't do it. So fuck it.

Well, they arguably could have, albeit by another name. Ultimania does talk about the Soul Divider being attached to the tree long after it was already in place. Of course, I thought we'd moved past looking for what the makers of the game had to say about Necron. They pretty obviously...

I see your point. He wasn't going to break the crystal until he'd killed Zidane, either directly or indirectly. By the way, guys, I was just doing some more thinking about Necron. It's been speculated before that he may have had a connection to the Iifa Tree because his face...

My guess is he made it with Mist since it's above the Iifa Tree, aware that the memories of souls would serve as a gateway to the crystal. Let me see what I can find in the Ultimania. [20 minutes later] It says Memoria was made from the "memory of all life" (?????????), so...

Hadn't thought of that, but you're right. I'm not terribly concerned with that detail, to be honest. If Tetsujin's telepathy explanation isn't enough, then surely the use of the crystal would be. I mean, since this idea calls for him using it anyway, then...

Nope. :monster: Probably not a spell, but if he could make a body and then stick a soul in it, there was at least that precedent for creating living bodies and giving them souls (which was my concern in bringing him up). And if he could trap specific souls (like with the Invincible), then I...

No need to apologize. I disagree with you too. XD He created the bodies of the Genomes to receive the souls of Terra's people, though. He even made Kuja, Zidane and Mikoto and gave them souls. That's making a body and sticking a soul in it, right? Exactly. We don't know...

Oh my god, what the hell is wrong with me. Why didn't I think of this sooner? A time that Kuja brought back someone who was dead, creating a living body for them and sticking their memories back in? The freakin' four Chaoses! They even had their memories! Maliris says "We meet...

tl;dr ;) Of course it's subjective. But that's the -- often deliberate -- nature of a great deal of storytelling. Sometimes the original author doesn't even have an answer. It definitely does. Like I mentioned in the previous post, there's the question of how they all...
