There's an automaton harp in the forgotten capital :)

Hello, I tried the demo and I really enjoyed it ! The beautiful drawings/animations as well as the music/sound effects give a very unique feeling to the experience. I followed the script and pretty easily understood everything that happened (well except the necessary part of mystery) and...

I think I read somewhere that this picture of "Aerith" (we're not sure if it's her) is the same as a previously known picture of her like in a game menu or some officially printed material. I like your interpretation of a director who would hire an actress resembling Aerith to play the lead...

That's right, there's a great chance that Aerith is already born at the time of these videos although we have no visual proof of it. I wrote earlier that I didn't believe Gast invented/gave the name Jenova, basing my conviction on the english version of the text (Ifalna: "The one the Professor...

Maybe Aerith has reasons to hold back the next migration. But if we take the title of the LOVELESS play, a play whose content seems to mark a link with the Lifestream but not especially with Jenova (Genesis's guess), we can notice that the title gives the idea of a treatment without love. On...

Thank you for the effort :) This seems pretty consistent/coherent and makes me think of the Yin and Yang relation which is quite likely natural inspiration from a Japanese production team. I understand that by proposing the Lifestream and Jenova are two sides of the same coin, you decide to...

Superb performance ! I particularly like the expressiveness of the hands (and how it brings the sound). Little hammers actionning little hammers. I bought the original score and started to play this piece but I arrived nowhere near your mastering. Bravo ! Looking forward to hear other titles !

I like your idea that the presence of all the elements of the myth are not mandatory for us to argue that the main plot of the game is maybe deeply based on it. This would be a great reason to explain a failure to flee while keeping a link to the myth. This pretty much reflects what's in my...

Something that caught my eye recently and that could help tie a link between "mother nature" and "mother Jenova". If we take the original soundtrack titles for clues potentially connected to the plot and not pure abstract poetry, it's interesting to note that Sephiroth's theme is named "Those...

That's a beautiful interpretation. I didn't thought of it that way. Right. In my theory nobody tries to get someone out, there's just someone/thing that's trying to escape and continue his/its journey. So there's nothing really strong/consistent in it that links to the Orpheus myth (except for...

Now that you say it ! I guess there's not much japanese environments/architectures either in the whole FF franchise. Happy to know about that hymn ! Your line about "Orpheus drawing animals to him through his music" reminds me of the story of the "Pied Piper of Hamelin", vaguely. Here I am...

Thank you, and it's always good to read back from you ! A shame for Dionysos :p ! I think I had already discovered this relationship some time after seeing the scene from "Parking", but so much had to go through my head that I had not bothered to write it down and that I had finally forget...

I just noticed that the word Cetra is the latin for cithara, a kind of Lyre, the instrument of choice for Orpheus :-) ! This observation could reinforce the idea that this scene from the movie was not only used as a visual reference for the opening cinematic, but that the game may also have...

Maybe Jenova (if we consider that she is the spirit of the Lifestream) didn't wan't Lucrecia to join the ship (migration vessel) because she put the hypothetic next migration in great danger by setting "Chaos" unable to fulfil its task. She may have been quarantined. Great reference once again...

Beautiful visualisation, thank you for sharing ! This could look like a huge candy for (Canon)Jenova :) I wonder what kind of method they used to wrap this world map on a globe, because as you point out the implementation of the planet in game is definetly flat based. Did they distort parts of...

The statement that Jenova is not composed in part of spiritual energy could be challenged. At the end of Final Fantasy VII during Cloud's last hallucination, the entity that resembles Sephiroth (an entity possibly contaminated by Jenova) breaks down into small red lights that merge with the...

Dionysos's presence is supernatural, it gives me goosebumps.

I recently thought about another behavioral similarity between "Jenova" and Lifestream. First, "Jenova" is said to be a shape-shifter. Well so is the Lifestream. Yes that's right the Lifestream takes the shape of any living entity on the planet, that's its definition. A tree that dies returns...

"An inside job" that feels like the right expression ! I agree that she could have been misled in some way. But I think the theory would be much stronger if it was admitted that Ifalna was lying. I must emphasize this point because otherwise I will always be opposed (legitimately) the words of...

If these eras are a reliable element and if they really last 2000 years, it is interesting to note that 2000 years separate Jenova's alleged arrival on board a Meteor and her awakening at the time of the game. Considering this, I think that an interesting theory about the eras could be that they...
