What? Confused and spoilers.

[Destai]

So when (or why) was Tseng revived? Him and Elena just kindve showed up.

[Leene]

I think they were trapped and then they appeared

[TheAbominatrix]

I think he's speaking of Tseng's supposed death in the Temple of the Ancients in the original game.

I guess he simply didnt die. He's never really spoken of after that, and he isnt in the Temple anymore on the way out (not that I remember, anyway), so he must have lived.

[Winter Nights]

Yeah.. Rufus and Tseng didn't have "definate" scenes with them being dead, so SE brought them back. Odd, but whatever.

[Destai]

Meh, Well I didnt mind when they did it for Rufus so I guess it doesnt matter much. Even though I'd have thought they both had definite death scenes as it was announced sevral times they were dead.

[ThroneofDravaris]

Did anyone else notice that when Rufus was explaining to Cloud exactly how he survived, Cloud cuts him off?

Seems like a convenient way for Square-Enix to dodge the examination….

Yeah.. I noticed that too. Still, his whole office was consumed with flames. It's possible to survive, but he'd have more problems than just geostigma and a bandaged head.

Cloud: You died!

Rufus: I survived.

Cloud: There were explosions!

Rufus: I ducked.

Cloud: That's RETARDED!!

Mwahahahahaha...

[Pure Strife]

The other Turk is Shion. They say so at the start, as well as Vincent saying so. You also see his ID card blood covered next to Elena's.

Or at least the subtitles I saw the movie with called him Shion, maybe it's just a screw up on their part.

[Winter Nights]

Shion is a bad translation of Tseng. It clearly says Tseng in the credits.

[Pure Strife]

Which makes very little sense and detracts from the reputation of Sephiroth as a big bad villian. Ah well.

[Winter Nights]

*shrugs* You never ACTUALLY see him die, it's just implied. Same with Rufus.

[Ouch!]

Nobody else caught how Rufus survived? Wow. He injected himself with Jenova cells, yo. Didn't anyone else notice the scars he had on his hand from Geostigma? Or maybe even notice that Rufus's hand and forearm glowed green and those scars disappeared when the healing rain came down and cured all the children? Oh well.

[Destai]

I watched it in japanese with no subs so I didnt pick up on any sort of explanation.

[Winter Nights]

Geostigma doesn't necessarily come from being injected with Jenova cells. Jenova cells had contaminated the Lifestream, causing the planet's inhabitants to become infected. Nowhere does it state that Rufus injected himself with Jenova cells. He just contracted it, the same way everyone else did.

Ugh. You poor thing.

But yeah. Even though we know now that, okay, they didn't die, bit I would have preferred them dead. Well, at least Tseng; Rufus makes sense and blah blah. It just kinda cheapens it now; when Tseng died it was awesome. Oh well. It was still a great movie, and I don't really mind. =)
