WARNING! POTENTIAL SPOILER AREA!

I really liked Avathar's idea about posting what ifs in games (in the FFIX forum.) So I wanted to duplicate that idea in this thread for FFVII. I have a good one to start us off with for this particular thread.

My idea is to have someone post a what if, then have the next person post what they think that change or "what if" would do to the storyline in the game.

What if, Seto (Nanaki's father) hadn't singlehandedly fought off the Gi tribe at the rear of Cosmo canyon?
 
Since I don't want this thread to die... I'll answer and repost.

I think if the above was true, and Jenova was the final boss the storyline would have been complete and A.C. would not be coming out...However I think that this makes more sense if you think about Cloud and Sephiroth both being pawns to Jenova's will. I don't know, brain hurts too much right now.

What if cait sith wasn't a main character?
 
to comment on jenova: that kick ass! itd be a more "legendary" final battle, id like that more, but i obviously cant change it. :D

kitten sith! nooo! without kitten sith, they wouldnt find the keystone, the city of ancients, save tifa from dying (well, daimond helped a little), or get into midgar at the end of disc three! kitten sith is more important than people think. (and hes a kitty cat! yes he is!! :D)

:D I knew you would be the one to answer that one Zeromus_X! You really like Cait Sith I've noticed. :)

Would you do us the honor of posting the next what if also...?
 
oh. i thought that others might be interested in these things...well then...

what if... shinra never owned the gold saucer? (i cant think of anymore "what ifs..the jenova one is the most interesting.)
 
Then Cloud and co would have not met Cait-Sith and wouldn't have ended up in that depressing prison.

What if Corel hadn't been destroyed?
 
What if Sephiroth was the good guy and Cloud the bad guy :eek:.This should keep this thread alive ;)
 
Arkacia - Then Barrett would not have had a reason to fight. He would still have his wife and his best friend Dyne. Much of the storyline would be changed. Since Tifa fought with Barrett it's questionable if Square would need a new main character or not...probably not though. Great question!

Squall Leonheart - I think that Tifa would be the main character then...not Sephiroth. She'd have to fight against Cloud AND against her feelings for him (however strong they may be.) However, the entity of the entire game would change due to the fact that the whole reason Sephiroth IS the bad guy is because of Jenova - Cloud's excuse would have to be much, much different.

How about a fun one... What if...instead of lulling around in the desert and underwater. The two fiercest enemies in the game (Ruby and Emerald weapon) were fighting to see which would get to Sephiroth first @ the Northern Cavern?
 
I belive that he would still be waring against the Shin-Ra because of Corel. He lost his hometown, and his woman. That would be enough to make me blow up a couple of reactors also :)
Barret - although he was a hot head after the destruction of Corel - seemed like a down-to-Gaia kind of guy. He had core values (wanting to protect the livelihood of his forefathers - the coal) He was a man of tradition. Then when Shin-Ra took that away from him he kinda snapped.

What if...instead of having the materia system, square stuck with the esper/learn-curve system (such as in FF IV.)
 
(actually, ffvi used the esper system :) )

then alot of the story would have to change, as alot of the plot revolves around materia. (like meteor and holy)

then again, i guess holy and meteor could be summons...meh.

what if... the sector 7 plate never fell? (i will never forgive shinra!!! :mad: :p )
 
He would learn rocket sience and be a millionare!

What if there was an another character who evil and does not die?
