re: FFVII
@yeenbean @kat SO much easier than framing them for murder and going after them lol. like holy shit, you'd basically have your enemies as WORKING for you now without even having to try for it. You could keep an even closer eye on them.
I mean let's be real, Barrett etc were doin' good, regardless, but I mean, Rufus is supposed to be this really fuckin' smart, calculating, clever dude but he just comes across as a dipshit.
re: FFVII
@yeenbean @kat I'd not be like "oh you murdered this wonderful man! CRIMINALS!" I'd be like "YAY EVERYONE LOOK AT THESE HEROES, THANK GOD FOR THEM, I, Rufus Shinra, will turn this company around, and to do that I enlisted THESE brave warriors to do so!" and then basically use that PR to bolster my rep, AND basically put Barrett et al on the back foot and suddenly, BOOM, now they're VERY in the public eye.
re: FFVII
@yeenbean @kat Honestly if I was Rufus Shinra at this point when I found out my dad was dead I'd be like "HOLY FUCK whoever killed this guy is a goddamn hero" like I'd just set AVALANCHE up as the heroes for it because godDAMN they just took out a monster who straight up murdered a MASSIVE section of the city, not to mention all the businesses and corporations who probably FUND Shinra and pay taxes to them and destroyed most of the city infrastructure! FUCK.
re: FFVII
@yeenbean @kat Also because of this the Sectors themselves as you explore like... what... 7 and 6? maybe 5? ... they feel SUPER friggin tiny in the original and that always made me like :(
...also wait what the fuck
WHAT THE FUCK
President Shinra dropped an entire fucking massive portion of the city to kill Avalanche.
Not JUST everyone in the lower sector 7. but everyone in the UPPER sector 7 as well What the SHIT
FFVII
@yeenbean lol i just thought of something more that just made me giggle a lot.
Sapphire Weapon gets shot by the Mako Cannon at Junon first doesn't it? And like, it does that thing where it rises up and RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DAMN CANNON, and does that headtilt like "uuuh... oh.. shit that's uh... that's a big gun. You uh. you mind pointing that elsewh-" and then BOOM right in the jaw with the damn thing.
I just... c'mon Sapph, you coulda just... attacked from the side you goober, lol
FFVII
@yeenbean oh dear. lol. I mean... at the very least the upper plate at least looks liek a CITY now, y'know?
FFVII
@yeenbean oh god yeah that shit would sway like fuckery in high winds wouldn't it with flat sides
FFVII
@yeenbean IN GAME even Shinra is way higher up. Remember that Emerald Weapon fires off its missiles or whatever right before the Sister Ray blows its head off, and its weaponry hits Shinra HQ directly, seemingly blowing Rufus to high hell in his penthouse at the VERY TOP Of the shinra building. You see the very top of that central spire in the middle get blown to hell too in the cutscene, so... yeah. what the hell. wow. lol
FFVII
@yeenbean ff7 had a lot of handwaved stuff like that, and a lot of other problems, but god, I had never even thought that hard about the fuckin' main city that is such a key part of the entire plot even though you basically only spend disc 1 in there, and MAYBE zip back there in Disc 3 optionally, or for a small endgame event.
It's kinda blowing my mind just how damn ridiculous it is and how so much is just "Rule of Cool"ed. lol
FFVII
@yeenbean lol if LEGO is going "yo dude your design friggin sucks, look what we had to do just to make it realistic? c'mon, step your goddamn game up." then you KNOW you are getting owned. wtf squeenix lol
FFVII
@yeenbean Yeah, if nothing else one single pillar would NOT be enough, no matter how big, to support all of that safely. the entire friggin plate would just shear off at the unsupported sides within days probably from the weight of the buildings. You'd need multiple pillars, side supports, suspension cables, the lot. holy christ. ...
...also hold up. Barret, Tifa and Cloud escaped S7 via a suspension cable attached to the upper plate, and down to that weak flimsy tower that blew up... wtf
FFVII
@yeenbean Oh SO friggin ugly. Imagine all the shit that would just fall down between the plates??
yeah i'm moving over to chitter.xyz now. Soooo go there! I'm there now.
