AVALANCHE
Anyone know why this is all caps?
I like to imagine that Barret was emailing a terrorist threat to Shin-Ra and accidentally hit the capslock with this big ass gun hand and couldn't figure out how to turn it off, like a grandma who is using a computer for the first time. Marlene would've helped him out--because kids know all about computers--but she was serving at a bar because Tifa was out doing god knows what.

I imagine it was just a way to identify it as an important term. SHINRA and SOLDIER are both all capped as well.
Shin-Ra actually isn't all caps in almost any of the places it appears.
And SOLDIER is an acronym.
My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation.

He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
Everyone knows caps lock denotes shouting and Barret yells a lot. Can't you picture him bellowing "AVALAAAAAAAANCHE!" instead of just casually saying it?
They probably should have put all words in capitals to avoid confusion.

Standing for what? It's a rubbish acronym.Shin-Ra actually isn't all caps in almost any of the places it appears.
And SOLDIER is an acronym.
Forgot that Shin-Ra is weird though. Still, it would make sense to have the two diametrically opposed groups of SOLDIER and AVALANCHE capped. Has more gravitas like that, too.

This is the dumbest acronym I've ever seen. It's like they just took words that kind of relate to the world 'soldier' and pushed 'em together hoping they'd make sense.
They? Nah, that was something that I came up with back when FFVII first came out.This is the dumbest acronym I've ever seen. It's like they just took words that kind of relate to the world 'soldier' and pushed 'em together hoping they'd make sense.
I was young and foolish, what can I say?
