Approaching the end of "Disc One"

[artabria]

 "Nearly" done with Part 1 of Final Fantasy 7. Yuffie has been recruited and I've finished the Gold Saucer area plot line, so now it's time to go to Gongaga. Things that went through my mind:

1. It still amuses me that Sephiroth wasn't satisfied with just killing the Midgar Zolom, he also felt the need to impale the snake in a tree.

2. The Nibelheim flashback, when they're in the reactor. Sephiroth is supposed to be a tall guy, but he still needs to jump to reach the pod's window and my hearts knows that, had it been possible, he would have been kicking his little legs while looking into the pod. 

3. I'm pretty sure that my Aerith can beat Cloud right now. At the very least, she's dealing more damage than him.

4. Forever laughing at Flying!Sephiroth at the ship.

I have also advanced a bit in Dissidia Opera Omnia, and now I'm halfway through Chapter 3 (Act 2, that's it). I have decided to ignore everything else in the game until I catch up with the story... Which probably means that I should do the same and catch up with the story in Fire Emblem Heroes, but I'm not that invested in that one. Honestly, I mostly play that game for the rythm mini-game, ^^U

I'm afraid Crisis Core!Sephiroth is tragically tall enough to look into the pod. I'm still kind of sad that the first part of the DLC isn't going to include all of Disc One, because I'm curious about what they're going to do with the Crisis Core's canon and Genesis.

That's what I thought I remembered, but memory is a tricky thing and all ~

And in a perfect world Genesis and all the nonsense attached to him is left in a very deep plothole, never to be seen again >.>

I'm fine with Genesis and the canon as long as Genesis drops the poetry. I liked what we saw of the relationships between Sephiroth, Genesis and Angeal.

I can't wait for when we'll get a remake of Nibelheim's destruction. Give me Sephiroth breaking down in glorious HD and everything burning down.

I live for the drama in my stories.





Of course, the question is WHEN are we getting the rest of FF7's story? Because if Part 1 is just Midgar... Maybe, if we're really lucky, the game will end in Kalm? Hopefully with Cloud's flashback explaining why he knew Sephiroth? Or maybe Cloud's flashback will be in a DLC and we can play it.

I need it to be April already, xD

Genesis (and Angeal for that matter) can bugger right off into the sunset, because all of their nonsense with the G-cells and all the rest completely undermines how in the original story Sephiroth is a unique case. Even his breakdown is cheapened by 1) chasing around "monsters" for years before that and 2) his having been, in CC, pointed at the knowledge by that twat Genesis instead of even discovering it accidentally and on his own.

A very deep and very dark plothole to never return, says I.
