More Crisis Core blather; aren't you sick of me yet?!
- So Hollander escapes Junon with the help of a Genesis copy, and the Turks show up and so does Seph, who informs Zack that the Turks will take care of Hollander and he'll take care of the rest, but the Genesis copies went to Midgar too so go take care of them k bye. "Later," says Zack, but he doesn't leave, hesitating as if he wants to say something else, and Seph turns back to look at him and after a moment smiles a little and says "I'll see you again soon" and Zack says "You better!" ("ぜったいだぞ"; direct translation "absolutely," but it feels like more like a "Damn straight!" sort of thing, going by his body language) and Seph is still smiling as he watches him go and gjks;lkalkdmflxclhsd MORE LIKE THIS PLEASE.
- Zack goes down to visit Aeris, and she's just standing there uncertainly next to a freaky monster-thing in the middle of the church; Zack goes to attack it, but then realises it's one of the monsters cloned from Angeal's DNA. It saves them from some robot-y thing that followed Zack in, and then flies off through the hole in the roof looks like it flies off but really stays up there perched on one of the beams, as you find out later. Zack's all thoughtful about it, but Aeris is just like "Let's build the flower-wagon!" and distracts him away from it. "I wonder if I should sell flowers above the Plate, too? ...but it's still kinda scary..."
- ...while I'm on the topic, I'm very meh about Aeris in here. Where's the spark, the mischief, the part of her that plots such things as dressing Cloud up as a woman? I can allow for her growing less wimpy after Zack disappears and she has to watch out for herself more, but...
- I CAN'T COLLECT WAGON PARTS IF I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE KANJI. ;_;
- ...hoshit, Zack just found Tseng's camera. This should be interesting... *cackles*
Damn, apparently it's not digital.
- .........was that message I just got something that had not only Hollander's name on it, but LAZARD'S too? It's in the same general style as the message I got after Angeal and Genesis disappeared...... kinda suspicious.
- ...why is this random dude talking about the WEAPONs?
- AHAHAHA. The Angeal fangirl is having an existential crisis about motherhood, or so it seems, and I have to tell her something Angeal might say if he were alive and here now, with my choices being "If you want to become a mother, have a dream," "A mother who has lost her pride is the same as a monster," and "Children are important..." followed by the I-can't-exactly-translate-it "hon no sukoshi na" thing Angie said when he used the Buster to save us from that critter in Wutai. XD
For the record, she only reacts to the monster one (the others she says she doesn't understand what it means), and they have a brief convo that ends with Zack saying something about Angeal, a fine man (in the "good/noble" sense, you perv), verb I can't understand.
- ...I think I might've just given this guy the name for the bar he's doing in Sector 7... "Seventh Heaven."
(And he's another guy Zack had to say "um, I'm a SOLDIER" to. *headdesk*)
- Hey, Zack... ever think that, when the kid runs off looking for something you need, you should, y'know, FOLLOW HIM instead of standing there grumbling about it?
- Eeehee, they're actually playing the ShinRa Building music in the ShinRa Building now. ♥
- Also, the potion campaign being in-game? Tacky, Squeenix, tacky.
- ...ALL THAT WORK AND YOU COMPLAIN 'CAUSE IT'S NOT CUTE? SCREW YOU, AERIS. (Am somewhat amused that it looks like a baby carriage, though, as if the flowers were Aeris's kids.)
- ...I have the feeling that chat between Zack and Seph was really important... dammit, I wish I could've understood, but it seems to be about monsters and reactors and Lazard running off and I really hope Nibelheim isn't coming up soon...
- ...somebody please oil that damn cart before I go nuts.
- Ohhh, nobody was buying any flowers, and then when Zack ambushes some passerby he leaves while Zack and Aeris are discussing the price. ;_; And Zack apologises, but Aeris is like "It's fun because I'm with you."
...and Tseng is lurking nearby watching. o..o Zack goes aside to talk to him when a kid shows up, and... I think he asks Tseng to keep an eye on Aeris while he's away, if I'm hearing that right. It's nice to see Tseng smile, in any case.
- ...and AGAIN Zack doesn't recognise it's Cloud right away, despite the fact he's not wearing his helmet. *headdesk* Aww, but Cloud seems so cheerful and the way Zack smiles after him as he goes... ♥
- ...Seph, Zack, Cloud, and a couple more regulars... oh dear, this is shaping up to be Nibelheim, all right...
Aaaaaaaand Seph just confirmed it, and you can see Cloud, clearly startled, over his shoulder... ;_;
- OMG it's the "It's been a while since you've been to your hometown, how does it feel, I wouldn't know, I don't have a hometown" speech. And it's playing "Fuan na Kokoro," too... *keeps fingers crossed they do well with this*
- JEEBUS H. CRISCO, SEPH, DON'T LAUGH LIKE THAT, YOU'RE SCARING THE SHIT OUT OF ME. I know he does it in the original game too, when he talks about his dad right when they show up at Nibelheim, but... yeeesh.
- PUT SOME CLOTHES ON, TIFA. Though it's interesting to note, when she asks about SOLDIER, she's like "Just the two of you?" and Zack goes "Yeah, me and Sephiroth" and she seems upset and runs away.
- The layout of this place is interesting. A little more spread out than in the original game, with the mansion set quite a ways back from everything else. It's a pretty, old Victorian-style-looking place, with appropriately creepy music. (The Bombs annoy me, though -- weren't they by Corel, not here?)
- Oh hey, they still have Funny Faces in the mansion, though. A lot of the doors are locked, too... probably to keep us from setting Vinny free too soon, eh? .........BUT THERE'S A PAPER LYING ON THE FLOOR WITH CLUES TO CODE NUMBERS IN THE ROOM WITH THE SAFE, WTF WTF WTF. *is being bad and exploring to prolong the inevitable instead of talking to Seph to further the plot*
- ...why is there one of the baka ringo sitting on the armoire in that locked room, and three more on the nightstand? o..o
- I don't know whether to be pleased or upset it won't let me into the Basement of Certain Doom and Suckitude yet.
...damn, I'm getting all depressed.
- Zack asks Cloud why he's wearing his helmet, and Cloud says something I can't translate, and Zack's like "...strange guy..." But text messages from him go into the "friends" folder, which is nice, I guess...
- Please stop being all moody, Seph. ;_;
- And there's the photographer guy doing his thing. The entire trip up the mountain is shown in snapshots (and everyone talking) instead of how it was in the original game -- nothing with the bridge breaking.
- Outside the reactor, Tifa in her high-heeled boots goes "I wanna go inside and see too!" but Seph is just "no" and asks Cloud to "protect the young lady," who tries to sneak in after the SOLDIER boys and has a stompy fit when Cloud is like "nuh uh talk to the hand." Ugh.
- ...they've seen monsters stewing inside Mako pods before now, so I don't see what the big deal is now, but they ARE reacting as appropriate to the original game... :/
Perhaps it's because Hojo, who works for the company, made them (as opposed to some rogue scientist doing it)?
Also, I REALLY WISH I COULD UNDERSTAND THEM BETTER.
- "Anta chigau no ka?" (Are you different?) Zacky-boy, you shouldn't have asked that...
...and yep, there he goes, clutching his head, suddenly all full of doubts and stuff. Poor Sephiroth.
It does make me happy they're doing all this with voice acting, though. And not just because of Morikawa, but because this stuff is important, dangit.
- "Am I human?" Seph asks himself, and a voice goes "Unfortunately, you're a monster" -- and GENESIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE KTHNX. Telling Seph about the Jenova Project (and, uh, why did you touch your face like that, that was a little... queer), and that Jenova was a monster who came here 2000 years ago and exploiting his doubts and ENJOYING it and and and and UGH GODS I REALLY WANT TO KILL HIM NOW PLEASE.
...besides the fact that he's not supposed to be here, it's ALL HIS FAULT. ASSHOLE.
- According to Genesis, Project G was a subdivision of the Jenova Project, and Seph was the product of a separate branch -- Project S, of course. (So original with the naming, really.)
- Genesis asks Sephiroth to... lend? Do something with his power, but Seph goes "there is nothing I can do." And Genesis blabs some more and holds out one of the baka ringo, and Seph says "Your words..." and I can't understand the rest, dammit. But even though his voice is level it's clear Seph's being affected on a deep level... He knocks the apple out of Genesis's hand and leaves, while Genesis is all "I see" and quotes his damn book for a while before doing the same, while Zack, finally picking himself up from almost getting hit by Genesis's fireball when he first showed up, yells for him to wait and follows.
And now I need to go to bed, so the continued telling of Nibelheim will wait for another day.
Also, bard_linn made an interesting suggestion that Aeris = mischievous young woman who dressed Cloud up as a woman and Aerith = wimp, and thus the following statements are true:
Aeris =/= Aerith
Aeris > Aerith
Got it? Good -- there'll be a quiz on this material later.
