    Default Did Palmer die after getting hit by that truck?

    I remember the fight well...

    A fat guy in a suit against three well leveled up Avalanche members.

    It was always going to be one-sided. But did we really need a Toys'R'Us truck to deliver the killer blow?

    All I want to know is whether he survived this little bumper-nudge. I don't recall seeing him in the remainder of the game. I could be wrong though... can someone let me know?

    I like to think he survived, retired to Wutai... and spent the rest of his days performing as part of a folk band in Turtle's Paradise... what does everyone think?

    I think the truck that hit him died, the fat bastard xD

    Seriously though I would be surprised if he survived.

    You'd think he'd be a little bit tougher considering the prize for defeating him is Joseph's Technicolour Edincoat AND the Tiny Bronco... put up a bit of a fight, mate...

    I'm not even sure the Tiny Bronco would have even achieved flight with him at the helm...

    I'm pretty sure the only ShinRa executive to die was ol' King Scumbag himself. The rest of the ShinRa folk always managed to survive, so I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up living in Rocket Town, nursed back to health by some old lady who loved feeding him lard.

    There's a scene where you can play a mini-game and torture a naked, sweaty Palmer.

    I've never been more aroused in my life. Time to crack out ff7 for a replay, methinks.

    He definitely survived. He's the one that launches the rocket with Huge Materia while you're still on it. You don't see him, but the voice over the speaker is identified as Palmer's. What happens to him after that, though, is a total mystery. He's never seen, heard, or mentioned again after that point, not even in Advent Children or Dirge of Cerberus. Maybe he got roasted in the rocket's afterburners when it took off. Who knows?

    Cheers for that, espritduo. I had it in the back of my head that he crops up somewhere but don't remember seeing him. The mystery is solved!

    I'm pretty sure he went on to play percussion in the classic/prog rock group Emerson, Lake and Palmer

    Scarlet and Heidigger both die when you destroy the prod clod. Hojo also dies after you fight against him as well.

    I like to think Palmer would be instrumental in rebuilding a post-Shinra world. I just don't think they'd let him have his way with his beloved "Rate hike! Rate hike! Tra la la!!!"

    No more horse laughing I hated Hojo and Scarlet though, they were dicks.

    Palmer is one of my favourite ShinRa execs because he's in charge of the space program. Space is obviously important. Imagine the Mako energy you could rip out of random planets!
