Do Emerald and Ruby Deserve Their Fate?

[Squall of SeeD]

I thought they were being controlled by Sephiroth I cant remember the details much as its been a long time but if he didnt have control of them I believe that they shouldn't have died as they were weapons of the planet so basicly they were only trying to do what was best for the planet

They weren't being controlled by Sephiroth, no. They were trying to kill all living things, as Hojo states before their awakening. When they awakened, their objective was to annihilate everything. This was likely to send that extra Spirit Energy back to the Lifestream so that it could be stronger when facing whatever ordreal lay ahead.

... dont forget that they did wipe out humans at the end of the game

Are you talking about Holy? If so, it doesn't wipe out Homo Sapiens.

so the reason they attacked us in the first place because they saw us killing the planet they were trying to defend so in other words I dont believe any of them (Diamond/Ultima etc) deserved thier fate.

It really wasn't a matter of "Homo Sapiens are a threat to the Planet. We must kill them." They were literally trying to kill everything. Ultimate even blows up an entire forest. That lake it hovers over late in the game that looks like a crater? There was a forest there on Disc 1. Ultimate has pulverized it. There's also a crater under the sea near Emerald WEAPON. It was possibly taking pot shots at the marine life.


Personally, I think the WEAPONs' fate was a fair one. They may have been protecting the Planet, but the Homo Sapiens had every right to defend themselves. Besides, some among them were looking for a way to stop Meteor themselves.
