What did you think of the Turks being portrayed as heroes in this game?

Also, what did you think about the original Avalanche being portrayed as the story's villains?

Does her real name matter?

... Or is the only thing that matters that Cissnei wanted to open up to Zack and reveal her real name, strongly implying that she was in love with him?

What do you think of the parallels the Remake trilogy draws between the party and the Turks?

Here are some scenes and details I noticed where the party and the Turks mirror each other:

  • Barret and Tseng use very similar rhetoric to try to alleviate their subordinates' guilt regarding the deaths of innocents, with both attempting to convince them to view their victims as "sacrifices."
  • After their terrorist attack on Sector 1, Barret and his group throw a party at Tifa's bar to celebrate the successful mission, even though they believe they left a trail of dead bodies behind. In contrast, the Turks, who actually left many dead with the destruction of Sector 7, show remorse for their actions and are not in the mood to celebrate, with Rude questioning whether what they did was really necessary and Reno not buying Tseng's rationalizations so they don't have to feel guilty.
  • Gameplay wise, the Turks are the only enemies in Rebirth who possess their own synergy abilities—much like the party does—essentially confirming that they look out for one another and work as a team, just as the protagonists do.

Does this character have memories/knowledge of future events?

According to Rebirth Ultimania Secrets #46: "In the basement of the Shinra mansion, words such as Chaos show up as graffiti. Also a picture of Lucrecia -likely painted by Vincent (Rebirth Ultimania, pg 697)".

Rebirth Ultimania Secrets #46

Given the context and content of the graffiti, I’d say it’s all but confirmed that Vincent was the one who painted them.

And among them , there is one in particular that includes the names Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo.

A clearer image of the same graffiti.

While this could be dismissed as perhaps an interesting Easter Egg, it turns out that the Ultimania confirmed that the trio of Whispers we face at the end of the Remake—Rubrum, Viridi, and Croceo—are actually Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo, trying to prevent the party from altering the future in order to ensure the events of Advent Children and their own existence.

Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo

My question is: how could Vincent know their names? And does this detail imply that he has knowledge of future events, just as Aerith did?

What do you think about how the story humanizes those who work for Shinra, such as the Turks, the Shinra Middle Manager, the 7th Infantry and others?

Did Inaba ever have a chance with Reika, or was he just deluding himself?

How does Vincent of all people know this?

Didn't Vincent "die" about thirty years ago and has he been sleeping in a coffin ever since? So how did he know that Dio was the curator of a museum that opened and closed twenty years ago?

Will Yuffie discover that war is hell in Revelation?

Given that Remake and Rebirth seem to be heavily setting the stage for a war between Shinra and Wutai, do you expect Yuffie to eat her words when the war she desires actually breaks out in Revelation?

I feel that Yuffie owes her father a serious apology.

I know Yuffie and her father don't see eye to eye on how to protect Wutai from Shinra, but for her to say that Godo deserves to be imprisoned is utter foolishness on her part—especially while she idolizes the warmongering actions of Glenn Lodbrok, who actually exploited the righteous anger she and her people felt toward the company to seize control of the country for his own agenda.

The point is, when the pedestal Yuffie has put Glenn on inevitably crumbles in Revelation and the truth comes out, she owes her father a serious apology for her behavior.

Will Yuffie regret trying to kill Rufus?

Let's recap and contextualize the assassination attempt Yuffie made during Rufus's parade in Junon.

  1. Yuffie decided on her own to carry out a political assassination with serious repercussions, including the risk of triggering a open war between Shinra and Wutai, without having received any order from her government to do so.
  2. At a time when tensions between Shinra and Wutai were already high and it was being falsely claimed that Avalanche and Wutai were responsible for the recent terrorist attacks in Midgar, Yuffie made a very public assassination attempt on Rufus at his own parade, inadvertently helping their narrative that Wutai was the one breaking the ceasefire.
  3. Given that "Glenn" is actually a clone of Sephiroth who is deliberately trying to instigate a war between Shinra and Wutai, Yuffie ends up helping the villain by escalating the tension between the two.
  4. A large part of Yuffie's motivation in trying to kill Rufus is to get some revenge for Sonon's death, but the fact is that the new president had no part in it and was not even aware of Deepground's existence. In other words, Yuffie tried to take revenge on the wrong person.

Even if we overlook the fact that Yuffie's actions inadvertently put the party in danger—and made their lives harder just when Rufus was actually being genuine about striking a deal with them—politically, what she did was the equivalent of a rogue soldier risking plunging their country into war to satisfy personal needs.

Returning to my question, do you think Yuffie will come to regret trying to kill Rufus in Revelation?

[AB issue #21] Someone, please make him shut up.

Not only did Jason stupidly level a building, but his way of "comforting" Barbara only made the Robins sound like thugs and left her less receptive to their sympathy.

No joke, he is single-handedly ruining the Robins' reputation.

Do you expect this scene to happen in Revelation?

For those who forgot/don't know, during Yuffie's sidequest in Wutai, Don Corneo captures her and Elena to force them to be his bride, which causes the party and the Turks to form a temporary alliance to rescue the girls and punish the pervert, who is thrown off the Da-chao statue.

My question is: do you still expect this scene to happen in Revelation?

Personally, I hope it happens because the heroes' team-up with the Turks ensures that Don Corneo finally doesn't escape his long-overdue punishment for his crimes.
