FFVII Questions

[Gabe]

1. What happened to Cait Sith's White part of his body? The big fat guy?
2. Em...The ending of FF7 said 500 years later, then it showed the red xiii intro thingy. I thought AC was like 2 years later.
3. The ending of FF7 appeared as if everyone died. The big flash and everyone closed their eyes and there was a huge explosion and they didn't appear after that.
4. What's the story with Lucriea? Vincent didn't say really anything about her in FF7.
5. Em...In FF7AC at the beginning when Reno went into the northern crater, what happened? What was with the "BANG! BANG! BANG!" "ELENAA!!" "Reno..."...."Damn!" WTC?
6. What the crap was geostigma? WHERE THE CRAP DID IT COME FROM?!
7. Who is Denzel? How did he get in the story.
8. What was the summon near the end of FF7AC? You know the huge demon guy that everone beat the crap out of?
9. What happened to Scarlet and Heidaggear?
10. I don't remember seeing vincent in any cutscenes, Is he in any?

 

[Scarlet]

Alright, I moved this thread to Help Booth... You know there are threads for these answers....

1. I GUESS THEY DECIDED THEY JUST DIDN'T LIKE HIM.....HE WAS ONLY A FORTUNE TELLING MACHINE ANYWAY (gah stupid caps lock)
2. It was 2 years later.
3. The ending of FF7 - left to your own imagination I guess, altho the 500 years later bit shows that they probs all survived
4. She was mentioned, she was sephys ma
I dont think there were any cutscenes for vincent because they ran out of time or something.....

 

[Dazz]

2. Em...The ending of FF7 said 500 years later, then it showed the red xiii intro thingy. I thought AC was like 2 years later.

AC was in between these two points. When you see the scene at the end of FFVII Midgar is overrun by vegitation, trees plants whatnot which is not what you see in AC which is more just a deprived city.

3. The ending of FF7 appeared as if everyone died. The big flash and everyone closed their eyes and there was a huge explosion and they didn't appear after that.

I think everyone in the upper plates died i'm not sure.

4. What's the story with Lucriea? Vincent didn't say really anything about her in FF7.

You need to play Dirge of Cerburus, i would't want to tell you the story.

8. What was the summon near the end of FF7AC? You know the huge demon guy that everone beat the crap out of?

Bahamut?

9. What happened to Scarlet and Heidaggear?

They were possibly in the upper plate when meteor destoyed in the upper plates

10. I don't remember seeing vincent in any cutscenes, Is he in any?

aahhh same with Yuffie, FFVII was rushed onto the shelves and as a result many aspects on FFVII had not been completed. Vincent and Yuffie being added onto cutscenes was not completed and all you got were the ones you would see if you had not got Yuffie or Vincent...this would be better as people would wonder who they were if they hadn't got the characters yet

 

[Ilyena]

I dont think there were any cutscenes for vincent because they ran out of time or something.....

I think it was more because he was an optional character. It wouldn't make sense to have him in a cutscene if the person playing never had him join the party.

As for Scarlet and Heidegger, they were in the Proud Clod when it exploded. They died.

1. The white thing was a giant stuffed robotic moogle, Cait Sith is just the cat pupet that round round on him. IN AC he uses Nanaki as transport instead, the reason for this is that Square found trying to animate that far too difficult which is also why Nanaki has so little screentime.

2. AC is 2 years after the original game, AC starts with the same bit the game finished. After that bit in AC it says 498 years earlier.

3. The ending of VII can be taken in a few ways, remember that when it was first made Square had no plans for a sequel.

4. Vincent tells you plenty about Lucrecia when you first meet him. How she was involved with the Jenova Project and is Sephiroth's biological mother.

5. The start of AC was Reno and the Turks searching the crater for Jenova's head which they found and took it to Rufus which is how he came to hold it.

6. Geostigma is caused when Sephiroth's will makes the Jenova cells in peoples body act slightly differently causing the persons natural defenses to violently fight against the J cells. The symptoms are a side effect of that internal battle. Geostigma also caused corruption in the persons spiritual energy so when they died their energy joined Sephiroth's negative energy instead of returning to the planet as normal.

7. An orphan saved by Cloud, he has some backstory in On a Way to a Smile. I've not read it myself.

8. Bahamut Sin summoned by Kadaj using one of the bits of materia Loz stole from Cloud, or rather from his camp in Aerith's church.

9. They died in the original game when the Proud Clod blew up and good riddence to the fools and their stupid laughs.

10. As he was an optional character he does not appear in any of the games cutscenes.

Remember when Cait Sith said "Gya ha ha, and Kya ha ha are up to something."? In FF7? That made burst out laughing my head off! I almost fell out of my chair. Now I understmd Vincent and Yuffies lack of appearence. I am about to play FF7 DoC, I am getting it for christmas. (Shh!)

 

[Gabe]

Oh yes, another question, Why was Vincent in a coffin? is he a vampire? Or does no one know...

1. The big fat thing wasn't actually part of Cait Sith.
2. At the end of Final Fantasy VII it says 500 years later, at the start of Advent Children it shows the same scene (but in CGI) and says 498 years earlier, therfore, 2 years after the game.
3. Everyone didn't die, the lifestream came out and saved the planet, Midgar got destroyed.
4. Vincent said quite a lot about Lucrecia! You actually met Lucrecia behind a waterfall to the North.
5. Elena and Tseng were being taken captive by Cadaj, Yazule and Loz.
6. I'm not 100% sure about the Stigma (Bizzaro Sephiroth used a poisinous attack called Stigma in the game if that's any interest!).
7. Cloud and Tifa look after children, and Denzel is one of them(and a friend of Marlenes).
8. That was the Bahamut!
9. Scarlet and Heidaggear were in the Proud Clod (the boss in Midgar before you face Hojo)
10. Vincent and Yuffie are secret characters and, therefor, didn't appear in any of the CGI cutscenrs incase you didn't find them!

 

[Bambi]

Oh yes, another question, Why was Vincent in a coffin? is he a vampire? Or does no one know...

I believe he just locked himself away for lord knows how many years because of his shame about Lucrecia and the experiments Hojo did on her unborn baby - dunno why it's a coffin, maybe he just wanted to pretend he was dead. or maybe it was just plain comfy?

 

[Dazz]

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

 

[Dragon Mage]

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.

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.

 

[Catalyst_os]

Ok..... PLAY the game, THEN watch the movie. im pretty sure that you havent done either. all your questions would be answered

 

[vincent_91]

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.
