I had heard about this anecdote a few years ago but it was while googling "Final fantasy invisible woman" that this answer came to me.
Anyway, it motivated me to start over this game that I never finished (never played for more than an hour in fact).
On guard Final Fantasy 😝
I saw Gremlins 2 again recently and couldn't help but see a parallel between Dr. Catheter's genetic experiments and those of Hojo (clip). Especially since the laboratory is located at the top of a crazy office tower. I had been scared (also fascinated) by the original Gremlins movie as a child...
Don't apologize, it gives me even more pleasure to receive something I've been waiting for.
I haven't read your article on Phoenix yet, but it looks like it fell right on the heels of the FFXVI announcement, a real gift!
I put these names on my list :)
In that case, maybe Jenova is...
Thank you for these interesting answers !
An alternative interpretation.
Perhaps Hades was captured in a materia by the process developed by Shinra. He would then be forced to help the one who invokes him.
One other thing that came to my mind and that developed from reading your original post...
Thank you for the great feed back !
It's rare to find someone willing to put the canon interpretation aside and follow this far.
Thank you for presenting this reference to The Thing. It gave me the opportunity to re-see this film that I really liked. I had read At the Mountains of Madness a few...
This article interests me particularly since the topic is close to some of my research. I found a lot of interesting information and I think I can use it as a reminder in the future. So thank you Dio!
Didn't know Hades appeared in other games (I only finished VII). It is interesting to learn...
I can imagine the time that was required to complete this work.
The pleasure taken and the associated sacrifices.
It feels like a trip never seen before.
Bravo !
I just read this thread and I found your observations extremely interesting and very well presented.
I didn't complete either FFI or FFIX, and I don't remember Garland at all, but the fact that this character appears in the game's first installment, and that in the ninth installment he seems so...
I saw Blade Runner (then read the book) long after playing FF7 so at the time I had no idea that this movie could have inspired the game.
I was then able to understand how the visuals of Midgar at night with the smoke and the neon-lit market (etc ...) could echo the film for many players, but...
I can indeed see interesting correspondences with the references that you present.
I re-read "Neuromancer" (William Gibson) recently and as you can imagine I found similarities there too :yay:. Especially the fact that an artificial intelligence uses the real past (memories) of a character...
It could well be Cloud's consciousness but if your impression is right (This is really people’s lives we are messing with) maybe the line would suit the Lifestream itself more. The Lifestream is said to have been able to talk to the Cetras.
This is what someone on a french forum answered to me...
I had no idea the Siren had wings at origin ! Looks like I've always confused them with mermaids...
I particularily found interresting to read details about Final Fantasy V's Siren. Her way of attacking remembers me of the visions the Cetras experienced following the destruction of their world...
It could be interesting to think that the spirit of Sephiroth was buried in reactor n°1 and that by destroying it AVALANCHE released it
There's this line that's told to Cloud before he sets the bomb and that I always found strange:
And there's this other line that is read by Sephiroth in the...
Hi Dio !
We've pointed out a number of musical references recently regarding FFVII.
Some days ago someone on TheLifestream.net posted references to number 27 that he found here and there in the game (North Corel Reactor and Junon Airport ). Then another member replied that 27 is Sephiroth's...
Dionysos
I just read an article about Mother goddess (déesse mère), I can't remember if you already mentioned her in our exchanges but I'm pretty sure you did.
I was pleasantly surprised to find the names "mother", "godess", "gaia", "Ishtar" and "Isis" (among many other) on the same page (the...
