Admit it, Barrett was sidelined only because he was black.

And don't even get me started on that "make Cid the leader" bullshit. Dude was crazier than Cait Sith.

They portrayed him as the Angry Black Man. Its tough for the ABM to remain the leader or focal point, due to his lack of trust in most things and short fuse. Would have been a very different game if Barret held the reigns

Tifa is the one really in charge. hired barret as dumb muscle and to act as leader and all that BS. If shinra came along and tried to arrest avalanche she could say NO big mean black guy with a gun made me let his terrorists use my place as a base or he would shoot me.

Shinra arrests the mean terrorists and the mastermind gets away.

Reason barret stops being the leader is Tifa tells him to let this merc take over and if anythign bad happens we can say all the illeagal stuff was his idea not ours and cloud gets to be the fall guy.

Most of the greenhouse effect is caused by water vapor, not CO2. Most of Earth's CO2 is produced by natural volcanic activity, not human industry.

Along side this her mother is very protective of her.
Also she has a bunch of flowers around her house.
So her being a actual girl who sells flowers seems to be a stable idea.

Oh, I didn't catch your meaning, but I understand now.

There is no evidence that she was a prostitute. Even the myth of "flower girl is slang for whore in Japan" has no evidence behind it. I bet the person who started that dumb rumor was just hoping so hard that his FF7 porn doujins were somehow canon.

Easiest way to kill the Zolom in the early game is to lurk around Midgar until you acquire the Laser enemy skill (reduces target's HP by 1/2,of current, rounded up) and then throw it at him 4 or 5 times and finish up with ordinary damage. It's still not super easy (since your Enemy Skill user will often get removed from the fight early on), but it's a lot easier than just trying to beat him down from 4000 HP with ordinary damage.

People make this claim because of the way she appears to forget about Zack in favor of Cloud. This is also bullshit as the reason she is attracted to Cloud is because of how similar he is to Zack. Another possibility is that she, through her Cetra heritage, can sense the energies of the Lifestream and detects Zack's spirit in Cloud due to his over exposure to Mako during the five years in Shinra Manor. Also, as we see in Advent Children, Aerith and Zack are together in the Lifestream acting as sorts of guardians, presumably against Jenova and/or Genesis. The point is, Aerith wasn't stupid and she knew that something had happened to Zack when he didn't come back to Midgar after five years and Cloud was her connection to him.

It translates poorly in the original game. In Crisis Core it's better explained through his friendship with Angeal and Genesis. Basically, when Genesis and Angeal, his best friends, go rogue when they learn about the "G Project" he starts to question his own loyalty and existence. Compounding this is the fact that Hojo lies to him about being no more than a manufactured life form born from Jenova (in reality he is the son of Hojo and Lucrecia. during the pregnancy, Lucrecia was continuously injected with Jenova cells to make a pseudo-Cetra). Sephiroth discovers Ghast's research on Jenova and eventually becomes convinced that he's just as much, if not more so, a monster as Angeal and Genesis.

He had some suspicions that Shinra created him. Then he went into the Mako reactor and saw the dudes that Shinra was experimenting on. They had all become monsters and Sephiroth wondered if he was the same thing. Compound that with the fact that his mother's name was written right above the big scary doorway at the end of the room, and he got a mental breakdown.

So he went to the mansion and found all of Shinra's science secrets conveniently stacked away in the library. He read it all and learned that he was the son of some demonic space alien.

So he went nutters.

Dude snapped and decided to say "Fuck Everything" and kill a whole town.

Cloud was pretty cool in game. At first he was just concerned about the money, which made him cool. And then he was concerned about settling a score with the world's most powerful warrior, which made him cooler.

In the game he talks a lot. Most of it is direct and nothing but exposition. He doesn't fuck around until Sephiroth starts fucking with his head, and that entire arc just culminates in Cloud getting back into his A-game and settling the score with an Omnislash.

Before snapping, Sephiroth knows that in some way he's different and is already beginning to suspect his life has been engineered and directed by the Shinra. He spends a series of maddening, isolated days down in the Shinra Mansion basement, doing nothing but reading research books, learning of Shinra's scientific practices, and dwelling on theories about his past and his mother. It doesn't help that the misinformed Shinra research makes his mother out to be an angelic ancient, whose dormant form they exploited FOR SCIENCE.

Remember how Cloud is influenced by Sephiroth throughout the game, almost to the point of cutting down Aeris in the City of Ancients? Well, Sephiroth is a more concentrated mixture of Mako and Jenova cells, and even in it's weakened state, that close proximity to Jenova would allow it to submit it's influence on Sephiroth.
After Nibelheim, Sephiroth spends 5 years in the lifestream with Jenova, absorbing both the knowledge of the planet, and the whisperings of the calamity from the sky.
He goes from a vengeful nutjob loner, under the minor influence of a dormant alien, burning a town and slaying some civvies, to becoming a wrathful puppet of said alien, possessing knowledge only a handful of characters are privy to, planning to mortally injure the planet itself and suck up the delicious lifeforce.

Having just recently replayed it for the first time in years, I was actually quite surprised at how jaded my memory of the plot had become, and obviously AC/Kingdom Hearts Cloud didn't help things at all.

Cloud is generally very normal during disc 1, with only small hints at his split persona (The holes in his memory/his small headshake freakout in the Shinra Building, and then at the Temple of the Ancients)

It isn't until you first arrive at the N Crater that you realize shit is very wrong with him, and it isn't really brought up again until the whole Mideel/Lifestream section where you have to help him put his memories right. After that he steps up pretty Alpha-like and takes charge of shit. Hell, I would go so far as to say he didn't become the true "Leader" of the group until then.

So yeah, I agree, the whole "Emo Cloud" thing annoys me because there is no instance of that in the actual game, he's just a guy suffering through a pretty hard personality crisis. If anything it's my favorite part of the story of FF7, Cloud's personal redemption.

Cloud is pretty unique as a Final Fantasy protoganist. There seem to be protoganists who have some tie to the plot that makes them the protoganist by default (Zidane and Yuna), and others who are just sort of there by circumstance and aren't that important at first (Squall, Titus, Vaan)

But Cloud was neither. He was the most informed person on the situation the moment Sephiroth entered the picture, and that was enough to integrate him into plot, but not enough to make him the Chosen One or anything. But it was his experiences along the way that made him grow on a personal level and become strong enough to spearhead the coalition against Sephiroth.

>I always liked Barret, because he pretty much had a selfless goal, to save the planet, and he stuck with it. Even with all the Sephiroth shit, he was like, fuck it man as long as this helps the world, I'm in. He was right all along about the Mako reactors destroying the planet, too.

He was only doing it because of his personal grudge with Shinra.

Though I accept that Shinra betraying you and sending their goons to wipe out your town is one hell of a legitimate grudge.

Yeah there was definitely a personal vendetta involved. He was a technophobe before the "incident".

I guess that was his character flaw. He was driven for revenge all along. Of course his love for Marlene gave him a legitimate reason to stop Shinra and Sephiroth, but he wasn't the selfless fighter that he pretended to be in the first act.

You make a compelling point but only from a storytelling perspective. When it comes down to it, black or not, being a terrorist leader kind of prevents the main character from being relateable. Despite Cloud starting off as a smart-mouth jackass, he was at least not a terrorist.

Actually I'm really happy they expanded on Sephiroth's motive and snapping shit in Crisis Core. Without that game, I think I'd still be unable to sympathize with him going bananashit just for reading that he was a more sapient version of rabid monsters. They made his character more human and more "real" and he had real hopes, dreams, thoughts, philosophy, and friendhips (and even a heart that prevented him from taking up arms against his friends)

But fuck Genesis, he's an annoying faggot with no place in the game.

It didn't help that his voice actor was just hamming it up the whole goddamn game. Nor that he was completely irrelevant other than being a placeholder as the first experiment that degraded.

Fucking please, that hardly warrants an entire story to it.

Actually, nobody but brits and murkans seperate niggers and whites.

Most countries, including European ones, see black skin as a trait akin to ginger hair or green eyes. It's not perceived as a type of people, but a type of person.

For a Japanese artist, Barrett is not a "nigger" as in "one of the black people", it's a huge dark-skinned guy, a character template. Again, it's not easy for an American to stop focusing on the "dark skinned" part above all else because of your weird cultural heritage.

It's true that Japanese people are often nationalistic, but then again most countries have a lot of nationalism. You can't look at America and tell me that there isn't a lot of nationalism going on there. The country where my parents come from is a 3rd world piece of shit yet they still say every time you ask them it's the best country in the world.

There are a few people who dislike foreigners in general, but it's because they feel like foreigners come into Japan don't have to 'follow the rules' of their society, which is unfair. I think they're right in that regard, because a lot of foreigners do go into Japan and acting like they can do whatever and their shit doesn't stink and Japanese people are assholes for asking them to behave to their society's rules. Even I was embarassed by some foreigner's behaviour after living in Japan for a while.

Lots of Japanese people have hatred towards Chinese people though, in the news they often talk about how China is screwing them over and being pieces of shit. I don't have anything against Chinese people, I used to date a Chinese girl for a long time and I liked her a lot, but there is some serious hatred because of their histories. Some Japanese people have problems with Korean people too, but I found that in recent years their numbers are dropping and most people don't feel any animosity towards Korean people. I can't say if the feeling is mutual, however.
