Jenova's Virus (POSSIBLE SPOILER)

[General-Beatrix]

According from what Ifalna(did i spell that right?) said about Jenova coming and infecting the cetras or ancients with a virus that turned them into monsters, was that actually mako being used for the first time?

[boys from the dwarf]

i believe it was mako that mutated them(ive started a replay of the game yester day so its still fresh in my mind.)and im pretty sure its spelt ilfana not ifana(no offense.)

[Ohhh]

id love restart ff7, but i dont think im patient enough 2 put up with the old graphics...

I hate it when people say that.

I never really thought about it being mako. I thought it was Geostigma or something.

I agree, its not graphics that make the game.

I didnt know what it was, i just thaught they were infected with a virus, never thaught of Mako.

[Kilrane]

i just thought it was some sort of a disease that the cetra were not used to, kinda like the europeansa and the native americans. ask Squall of SeeD he might have a theory or something

There is no "might" about it, he will and he'll clear all this up for us.

[Ohhh]

for the record, i know its not the graphics that make the game!
I dont think it was mako, because mako was around before jenova appeared and it was said that jenova "brought the disease to the planet" (sorry if that was a complete mis quote)
neways best get Squall of SeeD's opinion...

good point it might not be mako but still mako can still turn people into monsters. and it's made from the lifestream or something........intresting!

[nik0tine]

Hmm.. I never though of things in that way. I have always just assumed that it was some sort of literal virus that infected people, and did the damage.

[Sefie1999AD]

I think Jenova itself was that virus. Remember how everyone who was infected by Jenova cells eventually lost control of themselves and turned more or less ill? Jenova came from another planet, so it wasn't a part of the Lifestream, so no species born from the Planet (the Lifestream) could perfectly cope with Jenova's cells.

[Ohhh]

Yep! so we all agree it must hav been jenovas cells?

I agree!

well i dont belive this has anything to do with jenova cells. when jenova came down she would be a compleate entity and mako reactores hadednt been invented then. it was the mako reacotres fault people turned into monsters as an experiment. jenova intenonly carried a virus to trun the cetra into monsters.

After racking my brain for the last half an hour I came up with this:
(Off advent children trailer)
Vincent Valentine: Geostigma is... what happens when the body overcompensates for it's unwelcome guest.
Now geostigma is a disease to do with the mako and jenova cells in your body conflicting to take control of your body. Now in FFVII there was no geostigma that we had heard of but we knew that people with Jenova cells had unusual mutations. Like cloud being a so-called clone, and sephiroth's power to revive himself. Now the mutants might just have had a higher percentage of Jenova cells in their body than mako, hence more mutation.
but thats just my guess
