Isn't there quite a bit of dispute over whether or not Emerald Weapon is the one that tried to attack Junon? I don't like FFVII much, and I don't care to learn too much about it, so this is why I don't know these things.

And as for the relation of Weapons/Dragons to the storyline, how did the Weapons tie in to the plot? And what was the point of beating them? You couldn't get anything from beating them that you couldn't get through some other means, if I recall correctly. Not so with the Dragons and Crusader. Why can't a "mastery of the game" simply be shown with things like beating all of a certain type of optional enemy (Dragons in FFVI, Summoned Monsters in FFIV, etc.), or even gathering all of a certain thing, such as Magicite or even Materia?
If there is debate over whether it was Emerald that attacked Junon, there shouldn't be. Saphire Weapon looks NOTHING like Emerald weapon, it's not even the same colour/shape. As for how the WEAPONS tied into the plot, (SPOILER)they were designed to protect the planet from any threats. This is why DIAMOND tries to destroy Midgar later in the game. All in all, they are much more important to the story of FF7 than the Dragons were to FF6. Hell, WEAPONS are more important to the story of FF6 as well, remember Atma Weapon? This boss actually has some dialogue, and reapears twice during the game (sort of).

....Isn't this all a bit off topic though?
