What Are Guns In The Universe Of Final Fantasy VII?

I’m, admittedly, new to the world of Remaining Fantasy VII. I’ve obscure recollections of seeing a TV business for the unique PlayStation sport once I was younger and keep in mind enjoying the sport’s first few hours in a pal’s attic between Mat Hoffman’s Professional BMX classes. It wasn’t till a lot later, when I discovered an affordable inexperienced label copy at a Circuit Metropolis, that I gave it one other shot, however, once more, I solely made it by the primary few hours. When Sq. Enix launched it in such a method that I might play it on my PlayStation 3 and transfer it over to my PSP, I made it the furthest. I left Midgar, saved my sport, and turned off my PSP, totally mendacity to myself that I’d choose it again up once more quickly. That was greater than 10 years in the past.

All of that’s to say my understanding of the world of Remaining Fantasy VII is restricted. I do know a lot of the important characters, I do know what Midgar is, and I’m conscious of the Lifestream and the aim of Mako. Fortunately, to my profit and the advantage of those that love the unique, Sq. Enix is spending an unbelievable quantity of money and time to remake Remaining Fantasy VII. I performed Remake in full when it was launched, I sit up for its sequels, and I reviewed Disaster Core: Remaining Fantasy VII Reunion earlier this 12 months. I’m beginning to perceive the world of Remaining Fantasy VII, even when I don’t perceive how human flight is feasible with one wing.

Does the colour of the gun dictate its hazard?

I’ve dozens of questions on Remaining Fantasy VII I’m certain might be answered by enjoying the unique sport or texting former Sport Informer editor Joe Juba, however there’s one fundamental query I nonetheless don’t perceive in regards to the world of Remaining Fantasy VII that I concern doesn’t have a significant reply: what are weapons within the universe of Remaining Fantasy VII?

Weapons are used to assault and threaten in Remaining Fantasy VII, however I don’t perceive how deadly they’re. Most troopers carry weapons, however probably the most highly effective carry swords. It appears on the earth of Remaining Fantasy VII, swords are extra highly effective, however they’re exhausting to make use of?

That’s the conclusion I drew after enjoying by most of Remaining Fantasy VII Remake, however then, close to the tip, President Shinra threw my speculation into the trash. I received’t go into element to keep away from spoilers, however President Shinra has his again towards the wall at one level. He’s scared and making an attempt to barter for his life with Barret, who I’ll remind you has a gun for a proper hand. After which out of the blue, after operating to his desk, his confidence inexplicably returns. He’s not negotiating for his life, however as a substitute insulting Barret’s noble trigger as a result of… shock! He has a gun. And he’s pointing it proper at Barret.

Remaining Fantasy VII arguably established the online game custom of cutscene fatalities from an in any other case innocuous assault, however I used to be, however I used to be particularly confused by this scene. Earlier within the sport, there’s a cutscene between characters Leslie and Corneo the place they level weapons at one another threateningly, which confused me then, however I accepted it as a result of these two weren’t social gathering members. They appeared like peculiar, untrained folks. However Barrett? Barrett was shot a minimum of 100,000 instances on the stroll to President Shinra’s workplace. The entire social gathering, together with important sword man, Cloud, is all bowled over by this menace, which solely makes it extra complicated.

Pictured: Barret getting shot 100,000 instances.

I haven’t even introduced up the truth that non permanent social gathering member, Wedge, took a near-fatal bullet to the butt earlier within the sport, regardless of taking loads of bullets throughout fight. I don’t know why the butt shot did extra harm than the typical bullet.

I hoped enjoying Disaster Core: Remaining Fantasy VII Reunion would lastly clarify the weapons versus swords enigma, nevertheless it solely confused me extra. The sport’s ending proves that weapons are, the truth is, deadly, even in case you’re a sword man.

In the end, I’m completely happy to chalk it as much as online game logic and check out to not fear about how weapons work within the universe of Remaining Fantasy VII. Typically weapons are deadly; more often than not they knock just a few factors off your HP. Let’s transfer on. However I do suppose we’ve moved previous ignoring these sorts of story points in video video games, and I can’t assist however get hung up on one thing the builders are in all probability not considering a lot about. I’m certain they’ve a lot larger sport growth points extra worthy of their time.

My hope for the subsequent chapter within the Remaining Fantasy VII remake saga, Rebirth, is that it takes just a little time to clarify it to me. If room will be made for consuming pizza at Jessie’s mother or father’s home to provide her just a little extra context, absolutely Tifa can take a couple of minutes to clarify what weapons are in her world, proper?
