Haha, yes either that or his legs are invisible. But yeah, I've often wondered that too.. he is a mystery that Bugenhagen.

I love how everyone is wondering about this instead of the question that since hes a floating human like creature, how on earth can he be the grandfather of a wolf-like creature?

aside from hojo's fetishes, that is..

I always assumed that he adopted Seto and isn't related by blood.

He is obviously Jesus! Jesus can float right?

Walk on water.

And I agree with that dude who brought up the Float spell. Just like Aerith was the only one who had the Holy materia and the Temple held the Black (meteor) materia and there's one of each Summon materia, only Bugie had the Float materia and no else could get it and the stubborn old man wouldn't give it up even after he freakin' died.

Yeah, I always thought he was sitting on an enchanted green pillow.

He's professor Gast. His eyes and legs were shot up, and that's why he has to be the way he is. Who else could know so much about the planet and its workings?

It's true...

Hmm he used to work for Shinra, maybe he got infected with mako or something?:p

"Float Card!" *oops wrong forum...*

Gotta get me some of that Aeris' weed.

Wee-llllll, I guess he made himself an OAP mobility hover engine, and it's probably somewhere up his ass.

As for Nanaki/RedXIII: Bugenhagen is his adoptive grandfather, I think. Red is apparently or supposedly the last of his kind (what is really one of the biggest mysteries of FFVII is how he managed to have offspring as seen in the '500 years later' post-credits sequence), so Bugenhagen could not be a biological relative by any means.

Is that really it? Thank you for the clarification. I had a lot of trouble understanding some plot points because of the graphics.

Now *that* one is easy to answer: perhaps Hojo was mistaken when he said Nanaki was the last; he might simply be the last known member of his species.

you're right, that was simple. I never thought of that before. xD

I ponder why the FF7 geeks can't just accept that Aerith dies. She's dead. She's not coming back in any sequel and she can't be resurrected. She was the character to take that last flight for this installment. But this was the first FF for most people so they weren't even aware of Squaresoft's trend of killing characters at the time.

Wrong thread, there's been no mention of anyone wanting Aerith to be brought back to life here. :p
