    Okay Aeris is dead from the end of disc 1 and on. She can't be revived no matter what you do. If she did it would change the ending and there is only one ending. People keep saying that but they have no proof at all. Oh yeah dont forget that you cant play as sephiroth or young cloud either..
    If you really wanted to, you could you gameshark to change sprites, but it really doesn't do any thing but make the game crash.
    Active after a year? ZOMG.

    But yeah when i DID post a year ago I was an ass to everyone. So sorry about that. You can totally tell I used to think i was "gangsta" just by my name. Boy have I changed.

    Ancestry has nothing to do with it as each FF story takes place in an entirely different world. The artist apparently didn't think about a real reason for the spear besides it being a tribute to Kain Highwind. The whole KH-CH thing is just an easter egg.

    I like the thought of him practicing with the spear to stab a flagpole in the moon or something.
    I also like Jellisaurus's idea of him pretending to be a helicoptor.

    Edit - thx M16, but I didn't literally mean artist, I don't know why I put that in.

    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 concept artist for FFVII was Tetsuya Nomura. The concept artist for FFIV was Yoshitaka Amano. Amano did some FFVII art, but he wasn't the official concept artist for the game.

    I think Cid's ultimate spear shoulda been a giant cigerrette as big as your average spear and you can poke peoples eyes with it and blind them or burn the crap out of them

    maybe that's why Cid uses a spear...in search of that fascinating weapon

    Cid uses a spear because he's great. Perhaps he want to follow the tradition of Mog... or they didn't want to give him the use of Nunchaku because he'd be too dangerous...

    Aerith uses a rod because she's poor and not very athletic so she can't afford anything else,

    Each character is a derivitave of old fashioned classes, for example Cloud is based on a warrior or fighter, barrett and vincent would be gunmen, tifa would be a monk, so if thats the case then Cid's based off of a dragoon (hence the high jump and hyper jump limit breaks) so he uses a spear, lets get back on topic people
    Here I go again, only its more here.
