Thread: What else can be added to the Final Fantasy VII Compilation?

  1. #1

    Default What else can be added to the Final Fantasy VII Compilation?

    So far we've had games, books and a movie that explore various aspects and stories within the world of Final Fantasy VII, but what else would you like to see added to the compilation in the future if possible?

    For me one thing would be to bring something similar to Before Crisis to Western audiences, I'd love to know more about the Turks' story.

    I'd also like Red XIII's story expanded considerably, from his father's tale to the reason why he's the last of his kind and as mentioned in another topic how the heck he fathered his young all those years later, and indeed what he did during that time.

    Finally, more on the formation of AVALANCHE. I think that would make for a cool tactical combat game, or something.

    How about you, anything you'd like to see?

    I wouldn't mind an AVALANCHE spin-off game since I immensely enjoyed the missions you go on with them at the beginning of VII. As for the rest, I'm just wondering if they're going to do anything more with Genesis or just let it die. They introduce him at the end of Dirge of Cerberus, go into his backstory more in Crisis Core so it feels like they're building up to something with him, like going up against Cloud or something maybe I don't know, and then... nothing.

    It will be like Dead or Alive Beach Volley Ball, except you can play as scantily clad old men. Unlock the Speedo Materia! DLC only.

    I have always wanted to play Before Crisis, but since it's only in Japanese, I found the videos of the gameplay here: FFVII: Before Crisis (English subtitles) - YouTube

    They are really quite interesting! I am impressed with the depth of the story for a cell phone game. (Honestly I thought it was better than Crisis Core...) *dodges bricks*

    I would like to see a Sephiroth game where you play through his earlier years at Shinra leading up to the end of the Wutaian War. Maybe it could have a Dynasty Warriors kind of feel, but honestly I have no idea how that war really went down except that it was really drawn out and there were huge losses.

    Ever since Advent Children i have been advocating a prequel that takes place back when Jenova first landed on the planet. It will focus on first its landing and initial deception than how it traveled the world, wiping out the entire race practically. Enemies could be monsters and fellow Ancients infected by it. Your party would obviously be the band of Cetra who ultimately defeat Jenova as the final boss and seal it away.

    Could even have a cool epilogue of Gast and Hojo digging up Jenova's remains in a sort of eerie "and so the tragedy begins all over again through ignorance" sort of way.

    It would also finally clue us in on what kind of mind Jenova originally had. Was it just a virus that destroys solely by instinct or did it have sapience?

    I've always wanted to delved into the history of the planet, the Cetra, and the appearance of Jenova.

    And I too also as well wonder what has since as of DoC's ending become of the red hero Genesis.

    I've been ranting repeatedly how I'd like a Final Fantasy all-stars in the style of Star Wars Battlefront, yet it is probably obvious I'd settle for a Final Fantasy VII Battlefront.

    Maybe something to follow-up the ending of Before Crisis.
    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.

    The finale that was announced in 2008 and ends with Sephiroth and Genesis. JENOVA has no kind of mind (as in: not the kind of mind like us) at all and is not a virus. It is an id with viral cells. All that has been explained.

    No it hasn't because none of what you just said makes any sense. There is no such thing as "just an id" as the very definition of Id is that it is part of a whole.

    Now, if they have said Jenova is a being of baser instincts and desires with no higher function, present the evidence.

    Yes, it has. When the Ultimania says in its JENOVA chapter, that JENOVA is only acting instinctively, then it does. Square Enix offically published material is by far woth more than your word and it absolutely makes sense as while we have three parts, including the Id, me calling JENOVA an "Id" will immediately tell everyone who knows the word, that it is just (a genderless, emotionless and) instinct-driven being with the purpose to travel around, split, absorb/infect and reunite, repeating that process over and over again like an animal. For that it uses its abilities to act like a chameleon and finally fulfill what it is "programmed" for. It is said it is instinctive, so it is instinctive. I am no longer in the mood to argue with people as you, not accepting that there is way more published material than you want to use or like. You cannot make any claims and not accept things if there is just more. And your Lightning post the last time already was evidence enough that you are not even interested in such things. Read it ot don't read it but don't complain over things if you are missing any information. I'm done with you since I have no intention of another "PuPu"-like discussion.

    EDIT: And don't waste your time. You are on my IL now. However, I have sent you a PM so you can still see the part of the Ultimania. For the rest, the textboxes of the game say everythings.

    Please read everything next time. It is intelligent like all animals but what it does is instinctively. It does not act like it acts because it is a person as it is not. JENOVA is instinct-driven (by far more than we as "animals" are as it only works like that). That is why "Id" is absolutely fitting, being the instinct or following only the instinct is of no relevance (as we both are partly the instinct and also follow it) when it comes to that. It can be understood what I mean.

    It is always bad when explaining things gets like this. So sorry but let's just avoid each other.

    Now back to topic.

    I read the ultimania about ten years ago. Right about the time AC first came out. I have seen the translation of the Ultimania Omega as well as the assorted other Ultimanias that came out to further suppelement the Compilation that the Lifestream site is kind enough to host.

    But hey, don't let me stop you from going.

    Edit: Well darn, I guess I'll just have to live my life without you. However will I go on?
