You wanna know something? I got sucked into this argument after making a neutral statement of "There are good points for each side" or something to that effect.
All I wanted to say originally was that for SOME points of the story it MAKES MORE SENSE that Jenova is in control. This has got so way out of control and personal that it just aggravates me to continue such a debate.

The further point I would like to make is to say that just because Square authorised / published an article / book on the story, this does not make it necessarily truth.

Put it this way. You want to write an autobiography. You record your significant life events, but find they are a little on the thin side. So, FOR THE PURPOSES OF SALES, you over-exaggerate or change some of it, because that's what you think the people will want to hear. OK then, so now we have a book, written by the "writer" of that life, so to speak, which has bent the truth to appease the public and make £$.

All I'm saying is that it is a possibility.
All of this entire topic is opinion. No one (myself included) has yet produced any facts at all, apart from a rough translation of a guide (Translated BY one of those FANS, by the way) on the net. Is the translation accurate? I don't know.

And you are right. It really doesn't matter at all. I've gone so way past caring after being insulted for trying to have a discussion.
