Bugenhagen

[Chris]

Let us discuss Bugenhagen, and his infinite wisdom.

What's your favorite quote of his?

Mine:

"Eventually... all humans die. What happens to them after they die? The body decomposes, and returns to the Planet. That much everyone knows. What about their consciousness, their hearts and their souls? The soul too returns to the Planet. And not only those of humans, but everything on this Planet. In fact, all living things in the universe, are the same. The spirits that return to the Planet, merge with one another and roam the Planet. They roam, converge, and divide, becoming a swell, called the 'Lifestream'. Lifestream... In other words, a path of energy of the souls roaming the Planet."

Hoo hoo hooooo!!!

He is up there amongst the most handsome men in gaming history. He is a true hero, and I am frankly disgusted that in all of the FFVII spinoff games so far, he hasn't had one of his own. Sort it out, SE. :colbert:

[Laddy]

Bugenhagen was a very cool character. It was a shame that he, Red XIII, and Cosmo Canyon itself weren't expanded on. They were some of the best and most original aspects of the game. :(

[Gamblet]

Hoo hoo hooooo!!!

[Jiro]

That's a very awesome image of Bugenhagen. His wisdom is incomprehensible. How does he live to such a vast age? So many mysteries of Bugenhagen! He might not be as real as we all imagined.

Food for thought: What if that is Auron? ;)

fun fact: i used to think the green ball was his butt

[Hollycat]

I thought he lost his legs in the gongaga explosion...

[Jiro]

He's always been from Cosmo Canyon though, he wouldn't have been at Gongaga when it exploded.

[I Don't Need A Name]

I always quite disliked Bugenhagen... but maybe that was because every time you saw him it meant you had a long and tedious section involving tonnes of dialogue, running backwards and forwards and not much happening. Probably doesn't help that I hated everything you had to do in Cosmo Canyon..

I want to know, why does Bugenhagen float?

Why?

[Heath]

I think he floats because he's sat on that floating ball. Maybe it's a Float materia that the party never get access to!

[Bubba]

They all float down here, Georgie...

[Gamblet]

Same here. I never saw the ball until this thread.

[Jiro]

Bugenhagen just brings one of his planetary props from the Observatory down to sit on. :)

Or he farts with a bubblegum stuck in his ass. :colbert:

[Jinx]

I don't like Bugenhagen.

BugenHEYgen?
Or BugenHaagenDaaz?

My mind is absolutely, positively fucking blown.

I always thought he was legless and could inexplicably float.

I... don`t even know what to think right now.

My mind is absolutely, positively smurfing blown.

I thought this same thing. How do you guys know about the floaty ball?!

[Depression Moon]

Third me on the legless thing. So he's like fortuneteller Baba eh

This is the first time I've seen him so close up and the first time I realized those weren't his creepily deformed legs there. Sad that if only they had designed the avatar more accurately (showing that he was sitting cross-legged), it might not have been so confusing.

Or was it the intent he be a really tiny man standing on the orb? We never see his hands either.

Actually, he might very well be a tiny man! His arms are always hidden inside the cloak, so I guess it would make sense.

[Roogle]

Is he like the picture posted in the opening post or is he like the picture that Mercen-X posted? I'm confused now. I assumed that he looked like the one that Mercen-X posted because of the poor resolution and graphics of the game, but the other way makes sense, too.

[Pixel]

hehe I actually made the pixelart version of Bugenhagen in the first post. :P I based it on his appearance in Before Crisis. I put a little remote control in his hand to operate the ball.

[Jinx]

This thread makes me think of that FF7 Deviant Art comic we were all so crazy for back in March. How BugenHaagenDaaz cries because he has no arms.

Okay, just figured out how I'm spending my Sunday night.

[Raistlin]

Add me to the list of people who thought Bugenhagen was legless.

He was a cool old man, but Frig7 did him better.

[Mercen-X]

New theory, he looked the way Pixel made him as of the events of Before Crisis... then his head grew.
