Well you're gonna need to pick something and stick to it! Can always right down other ideas for future books though!

I dunno, I literally just started when I went off to do other things

Got to chapter 2 part 2.

Also, yeah, play SOMA. It's a horror game that ponders the meaning of what it is to be human. P. good

Yeah I get that it's probably deconstructed, but I still don't like it for personal history reasons

If anything it is more amusing how many people still do not get the story about Cloud in FFVII which leads to other misunderstandings of the game. The Huge Materia thing is not even comparable if you ask me. I could tell you stories that would fill your PM box in seconds.

The thing is, I don't think it is a flaw. I do get your point, especially as other than the others you do - apparently - not actually think of it as a plothole. Still, it is a matter of preference. If you ask me those types of "how much of value x would you sacrifice" is something pseudo-philosophical, something tackled lately in the likes of Last of Us or Life is Strange where in my opinion the only ones who actually say "how dare they to choose that when THIS is the right choice!!!!" is the only really wrong thing because I think in such extreme situations there is no universally right choice and the really personal level is important. Going far enough to say "THIS is universally the right choice" is even more inhuman than the options themselves. And I think in case of FFVII they even choose somewhat wisely. The entire game is about life, cherishing it, how it can go on and suddenly stop. Throwing away such a valuable thing as Great Materia hurts on so many levels. It is insulting against the Cetra, it robs the Planet of its power, it is most likely completely without any effect anyway because Sephiroth's true power comes from his will and just as the guy in the thread said, Bugenhagen even pointed out, the Planet already had a severe problem of surviving that even without Sephiroth it would already have problems to survive. Granted, whenever FFVII-2 comes out they will probably ignore it or retcon it or explain it with new stuff why they brough them back but that is the talk of another day.

True dat

Similar but different. It's the Pymalion Myth crossed with Asimov's "Do Robot's Dream of Electric Sheep".

Oh believe me, FFVII is not perfect in the slightest. It is "just perfect for me". The narration could be better, yes. But I feel there are enough ways to properly understand Nojima-san's script. Like Nomura-san said "the answers are all in the game". People nowadays just love the anti-hype hype train.

And I love ALL FFs. XV as well.

From an old 80s film called Robot Carnival. It was an anthology of animated shorts put together as a film with the central theme being Robots. The character is from one of my favorite shorts about a man who secretly builds robots on the side and builds a robot girl that falls in love with him.
