Many things where "7"...(spoilers)

[MJN SEIFER]

Did anyone else notice that the number "7" showed up a lot in this game?

1. Avalanche's hideout is in Sector 7 in Midgar
2. ...and it is in a pub called "The Seventh Heaven".
3. The promise between Cloud and Tifa was made "7 years ago".
4. There are 7 types of Materia (if the Black and White Materias are included)
5. When Tifa passes out, she is asleap for 7 months, acording to Barret.
6. As you near the end of the game, it is said that Meteor will fall in about 7 days.
7. The 7 Squares in the Saucer.
8. If you are hurt in battle, and your HP lands on exactly 7777 that character will keep attacking and each hit will be 7777

^More to be added?

I realize this is "Final Fantasy VII, but is that the reason that the title number appeard all these times? I don't remebmer anything being "Eight years ago" in FFVIII, or your HP reaching "5555" doing anything inparticular in FFV.

Yeah, Square designers probably threw that in there. Like the references to Vagrant Story in FFXII. A little bit of fun or something.

[Goldenboko]

Game designers like to have fun.

Just like FFVI's "The world is Square."

That and their set in the same world just different times.

Nice catch on the 7's thing. Pretty interesting to see that all thrown in there.

Neat topic

To add to the list... 7 main playable characters, excluding the two optional guys.

According to Wikipedia, FFVII was released on September 7, 1997 - and 'September' means 'seventh month', a reference to where it originally occurred in the calendar.

Although Tifa was unconscious for about 7 days, rather than 7 months, this is still a '7'.

[Flying Mullet]

Neat topic

Agreed.

• Most characters have seven limit breaks.

[Jiro]

In Mideel, after Tifa patting the poor animal, she overheard a couple of guys talking about a "poor pokey-headed guy" who washed ashore a few days ago. She got interested and then asked them for more details. One of the guys says that he was discovered 7 days ago washed ashore near the edge of town, and that he is currently in the hospital.

In the maze, the door at 7 o' clock brings you to the Trumpet Shell.

My head hurts now, but there's probably more.

[Jessweeee♪]

O.O

[oddler]

Granted, I consider some of that stuff to be pretty trivial.

But still. Wow.

[Big D]

Indeed. Although the Nibelheim incident happened 5 years before the game's events. But 7 years ago was the last time Tifa and Cloud talked

Thanks for the correction, I've edited it.

Barrett has 7 letters in his name.

So in conclusion...

7 letters in Barrett + 7 letters in Marlene + 7th Heaven bar + Sector 7
equals Lucky 7 (7777) ?

Since Marlene is related to Barrett, could this lucky 7 thing be meant for the revenge? The deaths of Biggs, Wedge and Jessie and Sector 7 getting destoryed ...

Or just a pure coincidence. :rolleyes2

[Suvious]

Serapy... Barret not Barrett.

[Super Sepiroth]

Since Marlene is related to Barrett

Not really, remember, she's Dyne's Daughter really

[Goldenboko]

Few things.

Barret. Not Barrett. Marlene is adopted. No theories in a thread thats actually looking cool please.
