Those people also were meant to be average people with no real desire to play the role of the hero (or at least before Crisis Core was released) or be world savers I disagree with this on the basis that the party starts out as a group of eco-terrorists. I once read an analysis of FF7 that posited that all the characters were "survivors" who had outlived the people and places that gave them their identities. It's definitely more than the shallow story its detractors think it is. I guess that's sort of true, but before that point, what you learn of their back history, they seemed to be the type of people who just wanted to live their everyday lives, especially Cloud, who seemed to just want to do his job in Soldier and was pushed to be part of the eco-terrorist group (also btw this game was made before "terrorists" were really a thing, so I don't think many players really viewed them as bad guys at all, just people fighting a corrupt system, or maybe Captain Planet planeteers lol. You only really start to get a glimpse of this line of thinking in Crisis Core (which I'm working on but haven't fully completed yet)). --- "Lower your guard and you will allow the enemy in." - Frog from Chrono Trigger (the original alt frog). https://imgur.com/hSc6hOs <cite>Mozzezz posted [p:912679453] in Are people...
