[Original Tumblr post] So, this was just looking at the Shrine/Statue of the Goddess in the Banoran Underground, as well as the tree and the Goddess Materia - and how massive it is. Of course, being this is a videogame, take it with a grain of salt. But here's my estimates:

I play Genesis as about 5'10-5'11 with two inch heels, so I can make the following guesses:

  • Genesis (with boots) ~ 6 ft
  • Statue of Minerva ~ 18 ft
  • Ancient tree = 45 ft
  • Goddess materia (in tree) = 18 ft
Now, mind you, the view remains skewed so it’s hard to be sure of the perspective… but I imagine those are in the right ballpark, which is stunning and often overlooked.

[Tumblr post] A couple years back [personal profile] vorpalgirl and I had a Skype convo and I copied it down because it partially articulated a headcanon I'd had knocking around about Vincent's limits. So, here we go, a look at that now:

[4:31 PM] vorpalgirl: granted, Dirge claims a lot of the shit that got done to Vincent was Lu’s work, but still

[4:31:26 PM] KittenFair: well like, here’s my 2 cents

[4:31:31 PM] vorpalgirl: ooh?

[4:31:34 PM] KittenFair: Chaos was Lu’s work

[4:31:45 PM] vorpalgirl: and the rest was Hojo’s?

[4:31:45 PM] KittenFair: Galian, Gigas, and Hellmasker?

[4:31:47 PM] KittenFair: yeah

[4:31:51 PM] vorpalgirl: that makes sense

[4:31:56 PM] KittenFair: because you have two very different things going on

[4:32:05 PM] KittenFair: I mean, on the surface yes it’s “fuse beings”

[4:32:15 PM] KittenFair: depending on the origins you headcanon for the other three

[4:32:19 PM] KittenFair: but like… Hojo made a shape shifter, responding according to the natural phenomena of limit breaks

[4:33:13 PM] KittenFair: which, considering limits are reached by physical damaged sustained… he could test

[4:33:36 PM] vorpalgirl: ewwwwww

[4:33:39 PM] KittenFair: I had an interesting plunny, once, that is also partial headcanon

[4:33:46 PM] vorpalgirl: ooh?

[4:33:49 PM] KittenFair: I’m not entirely sure how it works out, mind you

[4:34:07 PM] vorpalgirl: XD that’s fine, I’m the same way for a lot of plunnies

[4:34:30 PM] KittenFair: but like… Hojo is selfish, okay? he’s really selfish and absorbed in his work

[4:34:59 PM] KittenFair: so there’s no way he spent THAT much time on Vincent, during the beginnings of Project S, without having more than his anger fueling him

[4:35:15 PM] KittenFair: there’s just no way he’d sabotage his own success with his masterpiece

[4:35:45 PM] KittenFair: it wasn’t like Vincent was a “hobby” a hell of a lot of work went into him

[4:35:51 PM] vorpalgirl: this is very true

[4:36:16 PM] KittenFair: so somewhere in that twisted headspace, Hojo had a plan - goals

[Tumblr post] Originally there was a video attached to this, just showing the date between Cloud and Aerith.


So, I hadn’t played the FF7 OG all the way through - still haven’t, in fact - but I just got to the Gold Saucer date, and it turns out it’s with Aerith! Which is especially cool, because I didn’t know about the conversation they have. The above isn’t my video, it’s from MasterLL on YouTube and just a quick grab of the date - click through to get it - but I got it so it starts right in the area of the conversation.

And of course, this came out before Crisis Core, so there’s no knowing if they thought maybe Zack told Aerith about Cloud or not, but the fact remains that they were very close – you don’t write over 80 letters to someone for over four years after no contact at all that you don’t have significant feelings for. And I’m not sure what she thinks is going on, what maybe she senses - in the Remake, I’m hoping for something of an actual flinch, or a haunted look while she’s dealing with Cloud-shadow-of-Zack - but it’s clear she knows something’s up.

Below is the conversation, for those who can’t do the video:
 
Aerith *looks away from the window, down at her boots for a moment* “First off, it bothered me how you looked exactly alike.” *she looks up at Cloud* “Two completely different people, but look exactly the same.” *she makes a gesture with her hand* “The way you walk, gesture… I think I must have seen him again, in you.” *she shakes her head* “But you’re different.” *looks down again* “Things are different…”

-screen fades, showing the outside of the gondola-

Aerith: “Cloud… I’m searching for you.”

Cloud: “………?”

Aerith: “I want to meet you.”

Cloud: “But I’m right here.”

Aerith: (I know, I know… what I mean is….) “I want to meet…….you.”

I just had to stop playing and put this post together, because that hit me in the feels so hard. She knows. She’s not sure what it means, but she knows. And I like to think, maybe, she and Tifa talked. I hope Tifa had someone to talk to, so young and no time or resources to really help Cloud and she knows something’s wrong, too… this is something I really want to see in the Remake, in more detail.

I have so many feels right now…. I hadn’t taken time to look at the dates before, I’ll have to look up the others, but… I seriously am glad this was the one I saw, for my first time. I needed this conversation. So did Cloud.

RE the "Zack was ready to leave the Lifestream and fight Sephiroth" post (Where is Zack in ACC?) [personal profile] vorpalgirl had said the following on Tumblr:

You know that "Zack was literally offering to step out of the Lifestream & help Cloud" theory of yours? Yea that theory has STUCK IN MY HEAD & I've been recalling the CotL novella & how Aerith didn't want to make her own remnants bc it "wouldn't really be her" meeting Cloud, & imagining what it would have been like if Zack had actually had to do it AND HE KNEW HE WAS A REMNANT like half of him was left in the LS & he knew it but was stuck as half of himself & curse you I have yet another plunny


Obviously, I had to reply. [Tumblr post here]



*delighted cackling*

Sign me up, I’d read that like crazy. Heck, I already wrote the one little three-parter based off of it so obvious support here. I’m a happy, happy enabler and will hand out plunnies like candy.

Here’s another fun thought for you: Remnants are based off memories, and part of that person, right? Let’s look at Sephiroth’s.

Kadaj:

  • appearance: short, slim and compact, short and stylishly messy hair
  • personality: spitfire, possessive, quick tempered, emotional, sassy, passionate
  • notes: ringleader, center of attention, jealous of Sephiroth

Loz:

  • appearance: bulkier than Sephiroth by far, short hair, long sideburns, very squared face and thick brows
  • personality: goes along with Kadaj despite any misgivings, much more emotionally sensitive, playful, not neurotypical
  • notes: family oriented, perceived as childish

Yazoo:

  • appearance: most like Sephiroth, long hair, willowy build and similarly ‘pretty’ - tends to look bored until you really poke his emotions
  • personality: appears passive, willing to follow orders; has very few people/things he appears concerned with, but can become emotional when they’re attacked in some way, not very talkative
  • notes: has several of Sephiroth’s tics in CC, including the “hn” all three SHM have, fluidly graceful, appears to enjoy action

Now, I do know what canon says. And take this as you will. BUT consider:



I’m just saying, I don’t think Sephiroth forgot EVERYTHING.
