They are but a small part in a massive game. Fuelling Barrets anger to move on and.....oh wait everyone has said this before me *sulks*
[q=radje]Fuelling Barrets anger to move on... [/q] That's a very good point. If they hadn't died, if the Sector 7 disaster hadn't occurred, Barret would've just stayed in Midgar to continue his fight. When Shinra escalated the conflict, the characters had to take more drastic action, which in turn allowed the bigger crisis to come to the forefront.
I've always thought Jessie had a bit of a crush on Cloud. She does a number of things throughout the game that make me think she fancies him:
1. Cloud helps her get her foot loose from the bridge in the No. 1 Reactor. I think she got stuck on purpose so Cloud would touch her leg.
2. On the train after escaping the No. 1 Reaactor Jessie makes an effort to clean Cloud's face. Why does she care about a bit of dirt? She lives in the slums!
3. On the train on the way to the No. 5 Reactor Jessie calls Cloud over to look at the railway display. Just an escuse to get him close?
4. After the train, but still on the way to the No. 5 Reactor Jessie mentions she will put extra effort into making Cloud's fake ID card. Why wouldn't she want everyone's ID card to be believable?
5. On the pillar Jessie says she is glad to see Cloud "this one last time", to which you can reply "Don't say last" or "Is that so?". Her choice of words here are far too cliched and an obviously poor attempt of making Jessie seem romantic.
And as for Biggs and Wedge, they are just there to mantain the long tradition of having characters with those names in the Final Fantsy series.
I really doubt she would risk time running out and the incineration of her closest friends and self just so Cloud might touch her leg. But yes, it's incredibly obvious that Jessie liked Cloud. No use even pointing it out, really.
Cloud is just a Pimp...
she did, everytime she talked, cloud was the first perosn she went to, she cleaned him when he jumped into the train, she made his id 'special', and when the plate falls if u answer "is that so" when u talk to her, she sorta comes out and admits.
damnit. darkness beat me to some of the points. i should really start to read through all the posts
well I am sure cloud was just a little bit better looking than most of the guys who were around her in the area in which Jessie spent most her time.
Think about it. If a girl coming from the slums spends most of her time around more than likely members of the opposite sex who are not very attractive and probably do not physically take very good care of themselves.
Then a young lad appears who is probably similar to her in age who is attractive, and who comes from a fighting force where people are in good shape. It would only be natural for someone whose eyes are hungry for something nice to look at. To build up a bit of a crush once her eyes do fall upon something that is nice to look at.
