that's literally what all the side games have been spelling out for like 18 years or however long its been, especially the mobile one where you play as young sephi and Clould's Dad.
The bs one with clouds dad right? Aka Glenn from reddit birth. Jeez the complilation keeps killing ff7 with all this useless shit about zack, amd the fagget wity thr poems.All we wanted was a 1 to 1 remake and what we got was the pure Flanderization of one of the best jrpgs ever
I never knew this was even a thing, and now I feel robbed.
I don't remember that being a thing. I think he was confusing Before Crisis with the online mode for dirge. There might have been dress up opinions but your essentially playing a custom deep ground soldier
That would be a sign of the times— technically this was always true… in the sense that his nature is to be evil once he accurately sees what he is. It wasn’t a wishy-washy “no one is truly evil” thing.
I just hope blame for the worst FFXIV expansion hasn't fallen on 9 itself at SE due to proximity.
We're gonna get ff9 remake at least, sooner then later. They've spent too much time developing it to not release something. If I had to guess they are probably repurposing the combat system to make it look like expedition 33.
Yeah, basically Lavos if a woman.
Betrayed by his own will. A sad tale indeed.
Funny you mention it.
and literally everyone he has ever met, Glenn included, who was basically his big brother/Father figure .
People used Aerith too, maliciously, and she didn’t decide on vengeance. And “callous” doesn’t cover being renowned as a hero. Moreover his revenge just so happens to be consuming after a meteor impacf, like Jenova. I think it’s clear his nature is at play here (which you seem to agree with in your next post).
its more he has no reason to fight his Jenova affiliated nature since he has no ties to humanity.
Ergo, it’s his nature. A nature he has to fight while someone with a different nature didn’t (and these natures are thematically pitted against one another). So blaming it on Jenova is technically correct but it wasn’t meant to make him sympathetic originally. The addition of sympathy is the wholesome chungus revision.
I prefer there to be an element of pity, otherwise he's just a very bland villain who wants to consume the planet because Mommy does that.
This. He has no sense of self and it's why his continued existence depends on fixing himself to Cloud, the one man who got the jump on him. Seph has the willpower to change fate and persist but no anchor (and discards his humanity in Lifestream Black), both being very integral to what the Re trilogy is doing. It's also the macro for degradation in general as Soldiers only turn into robes when they give up. The new novel goes into a bit of this aspect of degradation and how to possibly treat it in Aerith's part of the book which reinforces all this.
