    Default Remember the days of the old school yard

    Meet Tseng, the youngest Turk ever. According to Aeris, those flashback scenes where Aeris was a little girl and Tseng came to "rescue her" were a little bit off (much like the rest of the smurfing flashback scenes in the game. It's as if they set out to create an entirely wrong product). Tseng wasn't this tall thin asian dude, he was actually a kid being escorted by two Shinra guards in order to persuade Aeris to come back to Shinra.

    I'm not sure I believe this theory. He was like, twice the height of her. It's creepy, cos he's got a crush on her, and he's like, 40.

    I had often wondered about that myself. Aerith had to be, what twelve at the oldest​ when Tseng came to get her?

    Tseng could have been 18-19. Some authority figures start that young and there are far more perverted "infatuations" out there.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    Seems like it was a mistranslation:

    One Cathy Okada translated a good deal of the game prior to the N.A. localization. It succeeds in a lot of areas where the official translation struggles.

    Thank god localization went with Tseng. Imagine! Nobody would have looked twice at this game if the guy's name was Zwong! No wait! I'm sorry. Maybe I was Zwong!
