They're your seemingly benevolent corpo that purports to make your life better.

Preusme you're just a denizen of one of the non-Midgar towns. Could you see yourself working for Shinra?

If a guy with an arm for a gun starts rambling about your power company stealing souls you'd write it off as crazy delusions

I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.

I mean if my power company is the de facto government, I might give it mild credence.

Yeah but i'd do as little as possible to earn my paycheck to a point bordering on sabotage. I worked phones for a shit hole company and flat out asked customers why they still used us or why they trusted anyone here

Shame we don't see how those living on the upper plate feel about it (in the original game I mean, I haven't played the remakes). Those in the slums mostly despise Shinra. Though most of them probably do so due to poverty and the effect the plate has on their health as opposed to the damage the company is doing to the world. "Mako energy is killing the planet!" doesn't seem to be common knowledge.

Shinra basically control the whole Gaia. They act like they're the world government.
Any legal job you take have high chance involving Shinra.

Also, would you like to work under President* Shinra or Rufus Shinra?

*Dunno his full name

It's probably more akin to shit like in the real world. They kinda know but since it ain't taking a nose dive and the damage is being shown right away they are like it ain't that bad. Or they know it's outright bad but can't come to part with the conveniences it affords them

It's about just as evil as working for an oil company. Probably less so since before the surface they kinda wear their evil on their sleeve. If the pay is right I would.
