Can FF7 have a hidden story???

[Laugh at face of Danger]

it looks as bad as reading the cheat to revive Aeris *stares at 99 tissues*

[lady yunalesca]

i doubt if they researched it that in depth before they made they game!!! it does make me wonder however, that if in 5oo years time kids will study this in school!!! it reminds me of desperately analysing Macbeth for hidden meaning!!!!!

meaning is meaningless if it is hidden!!!!

i agree! i hated how there was SO much analysis into things like Shakespeare, I highly doubt he planned ALL the stuff they CLAIM is in there!

[DarkLord]

What it says seems unlikely, but it does explain things that I didn't understand.

[YTDN]

No, FF7 does not have a hidden story. It's a game.

*looks at the angelfire link*
nope, not even gonna read it. I don't even like nor trust angelfire.

My eyes started bugging out from the tiny font about four lines in. This further proves my extremely involved theory on why FF is best played while tripping. I had a link to that theory somewhere, but I lost it. Oh well.

Summary:

-summary of the game, not bad, could be used for people who didn't read through the game enough and were confused, but I didn't think it was that confusing as long as you actually read

-the real hero was Aerith and the real villian was Jenova. Sephiroth was just a puppet and so was Cloud until he found himself, but in the end Aeris saved the day, Cloud helped. I kinda thought of that on my own though. Also it was Jenova who controlled Shinra into draining the life out of the planet, Shinra was a puppet. Thats iffy, but it could very well be.

-Everything in FFVII is comprised of a apparent, but false truth and a hidden but true truth. Cloud thinking he was a SOLDIER, but who was only a regular and just thought he was Zack. Cid realizing that Shera saved his life instead of just crushing his dreams. Red XIII's father being a hero instead of a coward. That kind of stuff.

-Hence it was thought that man destroyed the planet, but man was only controlled by Jenova. Again iffy, how does this is what the writers meant?

-Numbers, blah, blah , blah. Total BS. With enough effort anyone can relate something to anything.

Overall, I think this guy is a little conceited for thinking that because he came to this conclusion, its right. FFVII was vague so it could allow the reader to come to their own conclusions on some things, as he did, but that doesn't mean thats what was meant as.

i reckon the person who wrote that was just thinking too hard. its not that good. some o.k points but its all a bit dodgy.

thanks for summarising!!!yeah the guys a nutjob

[Cloud_Reno_]

I will not take this as canon( i think cloud and aeris were the heros, but they all did their part), this guy can get lost...

[Uhanimar]

Well, this is quite interesting. However, it's too easy to find things like this in anything.


One thing that i did find somewhere that was cool was this:


Aire Tam Storm

maT eriA Storm


Cool eh? A hidden word to give you a clue as to how to avoid being killed by it.(Probably old isn't it?)

[~Megalixir~]

Yes, it is old

I think ive read this somewhere, now ive wasted about 45 minutes of my life. Dont read it, it is the same old crap we dealt with six years ago. It has some relevance, but the rest is BS.

[Cyberdemon]

Hm, this has really opened my eyes to a lot of the deeper things in FF7... Aeris and Jenova the real hero and villain, while cloud and sephiroth are puppets until a point? And Jenova manipulating Shinra for power? The beginning is very good, but later on it looks like he got desperate for something to write, as this inspiring story turned into a massive load of BS that destroyed its credibility. To me, the 3,9,10 thing is absolutely ridiculous. Not like he mentions the hundreds of multiples of 2 in the game. But the beginning and end of it were very well written and thought provoking. Good job on finding it.

[Cloud Strife Dude]

no, theres no story behind ff7.


y'see...i've studied that game in the 12 times ive beaten it...
