That was more like a plot hole you could say, partly the reason why they were'nt in the ending was because they were secret characters (if you would'nt have gotten them you would'nt know who they are!) but you probably knew that ^__^;;

Haha, that is basically what I meant.

With the way the compilations of VII are going, it is assumed that Vincent and Yuffie were in the orginal party during the timeline of VII. For this to occur, they have to explain why they weren't in the ending CGs. I know why they weren't there, but they had to explain it so that it made sense story-wise.

As you said, a plot hole.

I never bothered to pay attention to the guy on the stretcher . . . that's definitely him though and he's definitely the guy dishing out cash to buy himself redemption. However, I think Rufus is in the works for a little more than atonement. Know what I'm saying?

I'm wondering that if there is another game after DoC, if he and the Turks will appear more, if he is indeed the backer to WRO (as it seems he is). You would think it would all come out sometime. And yea, I never really figured Rufus one for looking for redemption, so I am puzzled as to whether he's supposed to be actually sincere about this, or if something else is going on.

it IS Rufus. same clothes. but he not really burned or bloody or anything...just dirty. you eventually see his face in AC, and it wasn't scarred or anything...kinda makes you think: that guys got some incredible smurfing health. didnt get burned or scarred being in the middle of a gigantic explosion.

ALSO, it has to be Rufus writing the checks for the WRO because in AC, Rufus says what Reeve says in DOC almost verbatim: that hes in debt to the planet. but here's whats silly to me: if it is Rufus, wouldn't at least Reeve know? I mean, he used to be Shinra too. and Reeve says that hes only met with representatives of the person writing the checks....so....the Turks? cuz i think they're the only ones still giving a rat's ass about Rufus. I think Reeve would know if it was Rufus or not. Maybe he's just a friggin idiot.

Then again...

Cait Sith/Reeve never made contact with Rufus in AC. Maybe he thinks he is dead, as most of the public did. Cloud didn't know he was alive...

Well, the minute that Reeve made mention of someone who's trying to pay back the Planet for past mistakes or whatever it was he said, I just knew that it was Rufus. But I must admit that I didn't catch him in the opening. But after just going back and watching it, it is definitely Rufus in the intro scene.
