About Nora (not FF8 theory)

[Future Esthar]

How is it that NORA team has the same name as Hope´s mother?
I don´t know.

[Goldenboko]

I love doing things like this when I write. Team NORA and Hope's mother having the same name is an example of dramatic irony. As the viewer, you are aware that Hope's mother and Snow's team have the same name, but Snow is not aware. This creates a situation where the audience is squinting at every situation where Snow does something he has no idea is going to upset Hope, but the audience does.

Shakespeare does this a lot, like at the end of Romeo and Juliet or throughout Macbeth.

I thought it was pretty cheesy.

Well, yeah, Square's not quite Shakespeare, personally I appreciated the attempt.

Hmmm..
Highly doubt it.
Am tempted to make theory but not here.

Do you really find the need for every attempt at using literary concepts into storylines to be twisted into some theory that destroys the lit. aspects of games?

[Future Esthar]

Don´t worry.No theory I said.
Still waiting for opinions different than yours.

[ChickenHeart]

Basically all what Gold said, SE tried to make it a coincidence i think, just didn't work :/

You're not gonna get it dude. It's a coincidence. Not everything is a hint at some larger conspiracy that doesn't exist. Square isn't that smart, guy.

I agree that it wasn't a coincidence, but not in some grand plan manner. I concur with Goldenboko's analysis.

That's just because you don't understand the underlying themes. Nora is a metaphor for oppression felt by the lower class.

[arcanedude34]

No, Nora is all the characters fused together from the future. It's all there in the datalogs, really.

that would explain why moms are tough.

Nora has the same name as NORA for the same reason that Hope has a name that has a dictionary definition. It makes for great puns. The main one, of course, will always be "The army's no match for NORA" - of course, the army killed Nora, so every time Snow says this to Hope, Hope gets really pissed off. And the audience cringe at how oblivious Snow is to just how Hope is interpreting his words.
