He perhaps is signifying the deaf of his life? Or he is now dead inside?

Here is a concise explanation of what Geostigma is and how it came to be, from a reply of mine on another thread. A little explanation of the Remnants is here too, if you wanted to know.

Quote:

Mmmm, I agree about the Remnants. They were pretty random, and how they appeared wasn't explained in the movie at all.

In truth, they're supposed to be 'shards' of Sephiroth's will made into flesh. Thus why Kadaj at the end just 'evaporated'; he's just Lifestream that's controlled by a very powerful spirit. However, in this case, that spirit was unable to become a whole, thus the 3 Remnants. Each Remnant embodies something of Sephiroth.

I completely forgot what they were exactly, but I only remembered one: Loz was supposed to be the embodiement of Sephiroth's masculinity.

(Now doesn't THAT tells us something about Sephiroth?! LMAO. He's such a pansy.)

Geostigma, right. Anyways, ya'll remember the part of the game, in the big flashback in the Lifestream? Okay, remember the part where Cloud gets stabbed by Sepansy--I mean, Sephiroth? Good. Cloud lifts Sephiroth and throws him into the Mako below, right?

Okay, now that we've got that established, I would like to say that the material Sephiroth ceased to exist after that point. All the times you see Sephiroth in the game isn't really Sephiroth. It's actually Jenova's body, which Sephiroth is controlling. Well, if his body is gone, he should be dead, right?

Wrong. His will was so strong that his.... spirit? soul? whatever, continued to exist in the lifstream. He became a conciouss, nothing more. But he could control Jenova's body and make it shape-change to look like him.

What's this to do with Geostigma? I'm getting there, keep your pants on.

So, anywho, in the very end of the game, Cloud defeats the 'conciouss' form of Sephiroth. Well, oh crap for Sephy. See, this is were the 'spirit' of Sephiroth is shattered, resulting in the three-way split we see in AC. Sephiroth's will is still so strong that it colaces into a material form, even if shattered. Cool huh?

Moving on....

Well, when Sephiroth and Cloud & co. fought in the Northern Crater, they were in the Lifestream. So, when Jenova's body was defeated, all those cells spread throughout the lifestream. A part of Sephiroth's will later uses those cells to attack humans. Children are a prime target because they were just recently endowed with the life-giving powers of the Lifestream. The other prime targets are any 'sephiroth-clones' of which there is only one, Cloud. The rest were killed off.

See, Cloud was experimented on by Shinra, and had Jenova cells injected into him. This makes it doubly easier for him to get Getostigma because the cells are already inside him! Creepy.

Anyways, these alien cells set to work attacking the body. It's sorta like when a baby is born with a different blood type than the mother. See, after going so long with one kind of blood (the mother's) the baby's body doesn't recognize it's own blood. And so it attacks its blood. This is quite fatal. Well, the same kind of situation here. The body is trying to eliminate the Jenova cells, but is only attacking itself. Meanwhile, the Jenova cells are making the body confuse itself with a foreign substance! It's pretty clever really.

Anyways, that's my opinion on Geostigma.

1. The white part was a robot that he controlled whilst working as a fortune teller at the gold saucer, this did confuse me slightly too as i thought the white robot was cait sith.

2. The 500 years later part is after AC as it shows RED Xiii with his children and midgar reclaimed by the earth. AC is 2 years after VII but the part at the begining with RED XIII is set even further into the future.

3. Ive not yet completely finished VII but im almost there so i dont know what this could have been. could it have been meteor being destroyed or sephiroth being defeated.

4. Lucriea is the mother of sephiroth and worked for hojo. This story is much explained in DOC but she was a scientist with hojo and had something to do with vincent chaning into his vampire like form.

5. The turks went to explore the northern crater and became under attack by kadaj and his gang. elena and another of the turks got hurt in the fight and couldnt escape, reno and rude managed to get away.

6. geostigma is something which was left in the lifestream by jenova, it was the cells of jenova and the children who got geostigma became infected by jenovas cells.

7. denzel is an orphan who lives with tifa and marlene at her bar.

8. Bahamut Sin

9. i dont know :s i cant remeber now but i think they just were no longer included as they worked for shinra and shinra had been defeated.

10. if vincent was part of your party as he was an optional character then yes he should be the same as yuffie but if he was not collected and neither was yuffie then they wont be shown in the cut scences, they both dont have much to say and are normally standing near the edges.
