Plot Loopholes/inconsistencies
Okay, it is known that FF games have notable, sometimes trivial, plot loopholes or inconsistencies. Now I, like many, have trouble picking up on them unless really obvious. So I thought it would be a good idea to submit a plot loophole/inconsistencies and then have them compiled in a list. Here is the format if you want to submit one:
Game:
Loophole/inconsistencies:
Correct one:
Okay, so the first one game should be obvious, as well as the second option. The third is where you submit would really happened or what would have happened. Also make sure that it isn't something that could be a mere typo.
Oh, and another thing keep in mind what is REALLY going on. For example (minor FFVI spoilers) Emperor Gastahl asked the returnerers to a dinner to say that he wants to make the empire better, and locked Kefka up and so one and so forth, but later didn't do that. This isn't a loophole/inconsistencies, merely Gastahl being decisive and lieing. This example may be obvious, but some others may not.
BTW, I will complie them in a list for easy access. K?
List:
Final Fatantasy IV:
Submitted by ''':
Loophole/inconsistencies: Kain encourages you to press on in the Village of Mist because "we must rescue Rosa!," even though Rosa had not been kidnapped or otherwise threatened in any way at this point of the game.
Correct one: Um, changing Kain's dialog would fix that.
Loophole/inconsistencies: Supposedly, killing a summon will kill the summoner (hence Rydia's mother), but when you kill Golbez's Shadow Dragon (I'm under the impression it was a summon), he doesn't die.
Correct one: Maybe I'm wrong and it wasn't intended to be a summon after all. But that was the impression I always had. Maybe the dragon was just hanging out in the corner and Golbez was like "yo, c'mere and help me out now, minion."
Final Fantasy VII
Submitted by Griff:
Inconsistency: Aeris does not bleed when she dies, Sephiroth does.
(Correct One makes no sense so instead I will add...)
Possible Explanation: The designers didn't want the purity of Aeris to be tainted by a bloodbath, whereas blood would fit well with Sephiroth's character.
