Finished what is out of TFS. Spoilers ahead
My thoughts:
I can’t believe i called it that Glenn is beefing with a 14 year old. He seems to hate Sephiroth for no reason besides jealousy, called a child a cyborg, and said he would never accept Sephiroth cause “he never went through the same brutal training.”
BOY IS THERE A LOT TO UNPACK THERE. But first my Glenn hate.
I fucking hate Glenn. He is literally the encapsulation of everything i find irritating in a person. What made me really hate him is that he refuses to call Matt by his actual name and even after being repeatedly told to not, still does that. (Slay to Matt just not responding to “Professor” that one bit) Which just… really gets on my nerves for personal reasons. And Glenn has repeatedly showed that he is only doing this for the money. Which fair, but the only hint we get as to why is cause someone he i think is related to is in the hospital (i don’t remember exactly i was skimming) which is then immediately followed up immediately with Glenn is broke cause he gambles a lot. So i guess he’s a gambling addict and puts that before whoever he is supposedly doing this for in the hospital. And finally, this most likely 25-30 year old man is beefing with a 14 year old for no fucking reason besides jealousy and his own stupidity. Based on that last section before what’s out of TFS ends, he does not even think to consider “hey why is this kid here and in the army and really fuckin strong?” No, instead he immediately refuses Sephiroth’s help, calls him inhuman, and shuts down what Sephiroth has been through to get to where he is now. So… i think we can guess where Sephiroth questioning his humanity came from. Glenn better do something really really selfless and get his act together or he is probably gonna go down as one of my most hated characters.
Now a bit of positivity and stuff
Sephiroth is such a sweet kid so far. He’s a bit smug about his power but that’s fair. He’s really polite otherwise and just there to do what he was told to do. He seems like he wants to help them and ahg i hope Glenn stops treating him like shit. Little guy needs some positivity in his life.
I also really enjoy Matt and Lucia. Especially Lucia. Love how she just roasts Glenn at every opportunity. It’s great.
*SPOILERS AHEAD*
Here’s the woman named Alissa in FS2 who is a “second class soldier” and supposedly the fourth and only surviving missing soldier in the forbidden sector of Wutai. There were four in total, three of whom are dead, but is she really the fourth?
BECAUSE GEE DOESN’T SHE LOOK FAMILIAR
She is now currently part of the team after being rescued. There are camera footage flash-forwards of her talking and at one point she says this:
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
AND THEN SHE SMIRKS ABOUT IT TOTALLY NOT SUS.
She has purple flashing around her, just like @rottenpumpkin13 pointed out. PURPLE SUS AF.
And right after she smirks all KNOWINGLY, it cuts in the flash-forward sequence to the creepy Hojo apparition. Those you fear and love, etc..
Not convinced? This is what happens when she is introduced:
Sephiroth jumps and it flashes to the photo of Lucrecia briefly
She says this, and well, only a little bit earlier Sephiroth was dreaming about this:
Even Lucrecia’s (“Jenova” from Seph’s perspective because Hojo lied about the name) character art is incredibly similar to Alissa’s. And in the dream, she and Miniroth hug.
Hmm. But then Alissa takes it to the next level and says this:
GIRL CAN EITHER READ THE KID LIKE AN OPEN BOOK OR SHE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT SHE’S DOING—
Or
I DON’T KNOW BUT ALSO IN THE HALLOWEEN EVENT LAST YEAR WITH GLENN AND SEPH, THE ENEMY MONSTER POSED AS AN INNOCENT KID THAT HELPED GLENN AND SEPH ALL ALONG AND SO…..HMMM….
