7:03 "Bugenhagen worked for Shinra" The above statement is probably incorrect, though I'm sure @The Twilight Mexican or @Strangelove can tell me if my own assessment is correct. I recall them actually raising this point before but I can't find the forum posts. Here is Cait Sith's line on the...

I wouldn't call them errors- but- 8:42 Gast is seen as a genius in FFVII. Sephiroth sees him as such, which is another reason why he compares Gast with Hojo- "the walking mass of complexes"- inferior. In FFVI, NPCs (a mother?) in Vector will call Dr. Cid a genius- Gast is Dr. Cid's direct...

Anyways uou disliking Kefka being able to succeed every step of the way with what he sets out to do doesn't somehow elevate the conflict of good and evil of FFIV as some grand nuanced affair. I have nothing against Kefka. He has always been an "alright" villain to me and is a core part of the...

Yes, I actually think so, believe it or not. And I still have more experience with FFVI than FFIV, and I am saying this. "Crazy moon man" is more akin to "dark lord" or "demon king". There isn't much dimension to him, admittedly, but he is symbolic of evil, insanity, and hatred. The enthralled...

Thanks for clarifying about Lucrecia- I've looked through the beta notes of FFVII's early production, but perhaps not clearly or thoroughly enough! It makes more sense! What I found interesting, however, was when reading the Wikipedia page, was the "suicide by dagger" which is literally what...

So, here it is- hopefully some shed light on FFVII itself and its choices- a grand hypothesis, and hopefully not a page of "fan theorizing". These are all possible connections between FFVII and Live A Live that I intend to post here, probably in multiple parts, depending how often on the rules...

He was near/at Nibelheim. It's during the Nibelheim flashback- I think right after Sephiroth defeats the dragon. So, he's smelling it in the town. Honestly, part of me wonders if there's some kind of cobbled together Cetra device at the heart of each mako reactor. We know the Cetra could...

***Shin-Ra Company Relations*** (Pages 56-58) **Keyword>[The Shin-Ra Company]** The world is actually controlled by this corporate giant. It was originally a weapons development company called "Shin-Ra Works," but after realizing the potential in [supplying] Mako Energy, it rapidly grew...

Brains vs. Brawn? I knew a guy who was built like an ox in high school, and he's a teacher now at that high school, I believe. I think that best equivalent to Sephiroth is actually a librarian- that's basically who he is- he reads books and is well-informed, and gathers knowledge from the...

As someone who appreciates the guts out of Sephiroth and has for around 20 years, I still cannot like George Newbern's portrayal of him- his voice is too old, too deep. He's okay for a stand-in of the character, but as a total embodiment, I still disagree. Sephiroth's between 25-30 years old- he...

Cool!

I missed the stream, unfortunately. How often will you stream about FFVII?

ガイアの絶壁- Literally "Gaia cliff", Gaia no zeppeki. So, it isn't necessarily Gaea's cliff; that's probably a mistranslation.

I did check your link- it is good, but the translation (of the page) was saying that not all of the lines from the game was in the chart. It said (paraphrase) that there was a high percentage of lines- 4/5 at least , and was created with the normal version of the game, meaning that other scenes...

Not for drinking. However, I am curious about a Japanese stream of the OG FFVII or at least the International Japanese version of FFVII. I assume that it is viable and legal to utilize the information in the Excel spreadsheet, which is both English PC and Japanese text gathered...
