Eh, I'd give some credit to Azul and Shelke, since they give off a vibe of SOLDIERs who were experimented on to push them to some pretty big extremes. Even their outfits are pretty normal compared to their peers (Azul is just REALLY DAMN BUFF, and Shelke is just wearing an extra armor pad on her chest). That, and Azul's Behemoth form is pretty slick.

Don't give 2 fucks what anyone says, this game was awesome through and through. Good story, had a Metal Gear Solid feel with the main bosses and even Weiss as Liquid, smooth gameplay ( people who say the gameplay was terrible are just bad, not liking the play style and hating on it due to "bad mechanics" aren't the same. For a 3D Action Shooter the machinists are more smooth than they've been in their recent Action RPG's ) It expanded on a story we all wanted to know more about and made our main character Vincent fucking Valentine, there's really nothing to hate. Come at me.

@joeshmoe3710

They were if you read the lore & Ultimania books but otherwise yeah it's hard to follow the story. I have to say though it is one hell of an epic. Nomura was kind of pushing FF7 stuff into Kingdom Hearts for a bit there until they greenlit the new series of games Remake, Reunion, Rebirth, and likely ReGenisis being the last game... I think ultimately somehow they will make it to where Sephiroth, after essentially erasing the orig timeline using the Lifestream (memories) with Jenova's powers, will return to a state of semi-sanity to help end what project G started with the new games and Genisis/Wiess as the true ultimate evil the reunited team needs to defeat. Because if you recall from Crisis Core Genisis sent Sephiroth into a spiral of madness. IMO it could be a really cool epic wrap up of the entire series about 20 years after it was started.

I can't be the only one that really likes Yuffie. At first I hated her and thought she was nothing but a pointless fanservice character. When she said she couldn't sympathize with Barret at the monorail station I thought she was an utter bitch. But as the game delved into her character and personality I learned to like her more. The Wutai arc made me see her as a person instead of a fan service device and the cloister of trials in the Wutai tower made me realise what a competent fighter she is. In Dirge of Cerberus I respected and liked her even more. Now she's one of my favorite characters and I genuinely believe there will never be anyone like her because she's just that good and unique. Life is strange that way.

one of my theorys is that "Jenova" is a "weapon" from another planet. Very similar to how "Omega" is suppose to take life to another planet, I think Jenova could be a similar "weapon" from another planet. I love the lore of this Final Fantasy game above all others.
@SubduedRadical

+Bobby Keating I used to wonder if Jenova was a female version of Lavos' species from Chrono Trigger. It's probably just hapenstance, but since I played CT after I had played FF7, it made sense to me at the time. They both basically do similar things - crash on a planet, bust up the place, and then Lavos spawned some seedlings in the far future and basically the planet died. Jenova is basically doing something similar. Sephiroth says in Advent Children that Jenova's cells were basically toxic or a virus in the Lifestream, and that she was "girdling it, choking it", planning to use the Planet as a vessel to travel to yet another world. ...while this is different than the shelled Lavos, which had no trouble traveling through interstellar space, Jenova might have lost her shell in her fierce battle/clash with the Cetra, or maybe the females of the species don't have them (like some kinds of insects and such where the males and females are very different.) Anyway, it was just a fun theory, but I kind of like yours, too. Maybe Lavos and Jenova are both a type of WEAPON, and Omega, too?

Iirc, he had superhuman reflexes as well, which meant a firearm would still be a very effective weapon. He'd be the type who you'd find with the trail of bodies filled with single bullet holes between the eyes and absolutely nowhere else. The super strength would still be effective in ranges where he couldn't shoot effectively.

Sephiroth was always the best in SOLDIER. This game just happens to blow everything out proportion and make certain characters seem stronger than they are. Weiss, for example, wouldn't be much stronger than Genesis.

I always thought this plot was stupid. -_- If Omega only awakened when the world was near ruin, it should've awakened along with the other Weapons in FF7, as well as the OTHER world crisis in the cell phone game, "Before Crisis". This 'end of the world' plot just loses its luster when there seems to always be a new "undiscovered" weapon born during each event. Seriously, all these weapons fail at their job until FORCED-PLOT pushes them to magically "awaken".

Yeah I think the WEAPON system is a cascade. The lifestream sustains the planet, the planet sustains life, and living beings that die go back to the lifestream. The cascade activates if any of these three components is disturbed. When the lifestream is depleted, corrupted, or jammed, or the planet threatened, the gemstone WEAPONs activate to destroy the threat. If the threat is unmanageable, or the planet is irreversibly damaged, then Chaos activates and kill humans to reset the lifestream. After that the lifestream converge into Omega and we bail out of the planet.

You forget Advent Children also being a point that Omega should have awakened considering it was also a mass death/brink of planetary destruction scenario.

@@Quandry1 but it wasn't though. Geostigma wasn't a world-ending catastrophe, just a psuedo-plague that Sephiroth cast on a portion of the population - meaning not even the entire population of the planet was even affected. Even the villains didn't have any immediate world dominance plans, they just wanted to get Jenova back. Once Sephi woke up, there still weren't any problems yet, since he didn't have the black materia. That's the thing with this plot point. The idea of what qualifies as "bad enough to bail out" is made both really vague, but is at least conveyed as being a VERY EXTREME scenario. Plus, the first game had already established that the planet IS somewhat aware of what is going on, hence the Weapon triggers, and thus if it feels that enough is being done on the ground to handle the problem, then it will hold back any retaliation.
