::Secret-maker.:: I actually honestly was referring to the Compilation as a whole, but I'm such a graphic-whore that when I tried putting in the BC and DoC logos, it didn't look good and I COULDN'T HANDLE IT. ;_; So I tried to cover it by saying "you guys" instead of "you" and... yeah, I'm a loser. XD;

But yeah, like. Although AC was kinda pointless, (IMHO; if you enjoyed it, that's cool), I don't really mind it and the future parts of DoC so much because you can always cut off your fan-version of FFVII at the end of the game, and no canon worries. (I made it the main graphic because 1-it's the first one that was announced, and I -died- when I heard about it, and 2-it's sort of the most famous part of the Compilation stuff and. I couldn't find a good graphic of the Compilation logo to use. D: And 3-...because it's what's brought in so many non-game-players into the fandom who write stuff without having played the game. I mean, I'm cool with new fans, but... I wish they'd do the proper research. :/)

BUT THE PREQUEL STUFF WHAT ohgod. ...I don't even know what Genesis is. I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO KNOW, but maybe I do. ;;

XD It's fine. And I didn't catch that, actually, so thank you for clarifying~

Pointless? Hm... yes. It really isn't a necessary part of the FFVII storyline, when you get right down to it, because the game was meant to be a self-contained... thing. I mean that no sequels or prequels were intended, so adding onto that when things were presumably already finished up WAS sort of pointless. But then, you see, when fans all over develop such a strong emotional attachment to the characters and the industry sees an opportunity to profit from that... to satisfy both those desires, it isn't very pointless at all. That empty space which consisted of fans' unfulfilled desires (or rather, didn't consist of fans' fulfilled desires, since saying an empty space consists of anything is a load of horse shit) led SE to the decision to create a problem in a universe in which all problems had been for the most part solved. You can understand this, can't you? I'm probably only telling things you know already, so this paragraph is also pointless. Sorry about that. |D;;

In an effort to move away from that and reach some form of coherent conclusion, HERE IS A NEW PARAGRAPH. Anyway. It's because of fans' desire for more FFVII shit that they keep screwing the canon over. It has gotten fucking ridiculous. WAIT, this is also shit you already know. WHY AM I SAYING THINGS YOU ALREADY KNOW?! I'll just say that I agree with you about the prequel shit and canon fucking all getting out of hand, AS WELL AS the non-game fans needing to do their damn research. Honestly, people that don't play games that they're writing for/RPing for/wtfever-ing for (drawing's different considering the fact that you don't need to know someones TWAGIC BACKSTORY to know what clothes they wear and so on) are on the top of my list of things that piss me off. They might not irritate you, but I have the strong desire to eviscerate them with a rusty spoon. So yes. I see where you're coming from.

AND BELIEVE ME. YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT GENESIS IS.
