ngl that part of the demo really irritated me. Like, AVALANCHE are still terrorists, they're just even MORE incompetent than they know AND ShinRa is... cool with blowing up their own reactors? What? At least dropping the plate had the point of wiping out AVALANCHE but blowing up their own reactor to paint AVALANCHE as evil is just stupid.

IDEK. I do feel like it's part of the attempt to make the heroes be less ~bad~ and I'm not here for it. It just makes them look like incredibly stupid terrorists instead of actually having some sort of skill at what they're doing.

PR. They make an enemy of the people to unite people under their own flag.

Also, Cloud and the gang SUCCESSFULLY blowing up a plant with a huge bomb would not work in the post-9/11 world. I got the impression the small bomb was supposed to disable the reactor instead of blow it up.

i... like that they're a bunch of amateurs? messing with things they don't understand (they even have to hire cloud so they've got somebody at least partially competent) and getting over their heads with political machinations way beyond their own control

and as other anon said, it's pr - shinra are a bunch of corrupt bastards. uniting the people by giving them a common enemy (manufactured or otherwise) has been political strategy since... well, probably the dawn of politics
