History WMG / FinalFantasyVII

* Strong physical resemblance between the galian beast and the average behemoth
* Weaker resemblance between these and Red XIII
* Behemoths are fought on the scaffolds beneath Midgar, and the Northern Cave. It's easy to theorise the Midgar behemoths were produced by Hojo (Crisis Core somewhat confirms this) and the King Behemoths produced by Jenova's virus, given that they're fought at her landing site
* Red was an experiment of Hojo's
* Behemoths show an affinity for Flare attacks, as does the galian beast. Red XIII has a flame burning on his tail
* King Behemoths have an affinity for Comet2 attacks. Red XIII's limit breaks have a cosmic theme, one even being a variation on Comet2

Therefore: Jenova landed 2000 years ago, and encountered Red's species alongside the Cetra. They were infected, and became King Behemoths. Many years later, Hojo experimented on Red's species to produce the standard Behemoths. Meanwhile, he used what he knew to create the galian beast while experimenting on Vincent. If you want to include the Compliation, Azul also fits pretty much all of the above.

It's simple levitation. In the AC movie people are shown activly defying gravity with simple jumps, so it's not much of a stretch. The one wing for Jenova Cell recipients doesn't grant flight. Think of it more like a deer's antlers. The wing represents the cells reaching their maturity, to the point where such powers become available.

Major spoilers for Final Fantasy IX,
[[spoiler:The Terrans in FFIX move from star system to star system absorbing the life-stream of younger planets into theirs]].
Jenova is a probe to find suitable planets, and Gaia in FFVII may even be
the Gaia from FFIX thousands of years before the events of FFIX, or some other world the Terrans [spoilered].

[[WMG: And now time for some Grimdark: The entire game is a LighterThanSofter version of DeadSpace.]]

But he's not [[EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory Jesus]], sorry. He killed Cloud and Tifa in (sort of) cold blood, and has been spending the time since having his sins tortured off of him by being mentally abused by the universe and killed over and over in the form of the JENOVA pieces. When he becomes the OneWingedAngel, his sins finally atoned for, he's finally allowed to die. Aerith is his guardian angel, or supervisor, or whatever you might call it. [[ItsAWonderfulLife The Clarence to his George Bailey]].

* This WMG [[FridgeBrilliance actually works really well]] with a bit of GameplayAndStoryIntegration. The Buster Sword is Cloud's weakest [[JokeItem (non-joke)]] weapon, and is usually replaced by the player at the first opportunity. There's really nothing special about it besides its symbolism.

Genesis (who somehow released himself from his self-imposed prison thingy) will team up with Nero/Weiss (who fused, and conveniently fell from the sky in front of Genesis in DirgeOfCerberus' ending and presumably free from Hojo's mind control) and Cloud and fight Sephiroth (who came back from the dead for the third time) to make up for what they did in their games. Not that sophisticated a plot, but fangirls will be sure to go Squee. Also, Denzel will be playable. Why? No reason.

** It also makes the confrontation with Weiss in DirgeOfCerberus take on new meaning: Sure, the Hojo connection is explicit, but Weiss also [[{{Expy}} looks a hell of a lot like Sephiroth]], and shares the same goal as him minus the Jenova aspect; in that sense, he represents ''both'' of Vincent's [[MyGreatestFailure greatest failures]], [[CompositeCharacter mishmashed into a single being]] for Vincent to beat the crap out of.

Both Red Squadron and AVALANCHE are recognizable by their red headgear, and are part of a Rebellion against a corrupt empire. Red LEader is obviously Barret; Biggs and Wedge are named after Red Three and Two, respectively; Jesse is most likely four, and Cloud five. 6-12 are (in no particular order) Tifa, Aeris, Yuffie, Vincent, Cait Sith and Cid. This leaves us with [[FridgeBrilliance RED THIRTEEN.]]

** Genesis was [[EarlyBirdCameo introducted]] for CrisisCore. But since the [[BaseBreaker Compilation]] ends at the 20th anniversary by WordOfGod, and there's a SequelHook, this is possible. Good news for the ones who like all the Compilation, bad news for the ones who didn't like it, or only liked CrisisCore. I don't know about Denzel, but it's possible.

* Obsesses over said work and talks about it constantly to keep up the appearance of reading it out of favouritism, not fear.

** This Aspergic troper would like to debate the Genesis point. We might not be capable of empathising with other people as much as norms, but we still have morality and, although we have a hard time showing it, we ''do'' care about our fellow man. [[ItsAllAboutMe Genesis quite clearly doesn't]]. I think it's more likely that he's some kind of sociopath.

** This WMG makes perfect sense to me for one reason only: Sephiroth, the arrogant jerk who spent half the game gloating and spouting madness ''doesn't have a final boss speech''. Kefka had a legendary speech, and even Ultimecia got one while the player tried to keep a straight face at her speech imedpiment - but Sephiroth just floats there and shoots energy at you? No. He doesn't talk because that's not Sephiroth. That's Jenova, and Jenova doesn't need to have her puppet babble on anymore when she's moments from parasitically takig over the world.

*** I always thought it was odd that Jenova broke out that specific night when cloud etc. we're in the building. Maybe it was a coincidence, but I think either cloud being there or her breaking out was a factor dependent on the other (because of them being so genetically connected due to the experiments with Jenova cells that Cloud was subjected to) and perhaps this event was what launched the whole Sephiroth/Jenova subplot/mainplot on top of Shinra/Avalanche/the planet's efforts.

** Or the prescene of magic for long-range attacks decreases the effectiveness of using long-range weapons in the first place.

**** [[{{Terminator}} John Connor]] did. And now he knows why you cry. But he can't.

***** In fact, in CrisisCore, he actually calls Hollander an idiot for believing that she is one.
** In the original game, as well as a DMW flashback in Crisis Core, Sephiroth said this regarding Hojo in Nibelheim "A man once told me never to use an unscientific term such as 'mysterious power'! It shouldn't even be called 'magic'! I still remember how angry he was." "Hojo of Shinra, Inc. ... An inexperienced man assigned to take over the work of a great scientist. He was a walking mass of complexes." Sephiroth clearly thinks that Hojo is a hack. I would say that this isn't WMG, it's canon.

* It goes without saying that the announcement of Cloud as a playable character in SuperSmashBros pretty much caught everyone by surprise. If there was ever a textbook definition of UnexpectedCharacter this is it. With that being said it makes one wonder what Nintendo and Square Enix may have done/discussed to get this particular deal to happen. When the Remake was first announced at E3 2015 the reveal trailer clearly said "Play it first on Playstation 4." Therefore it's already expected to be a timed exclusive that will eventually make it's way to the Xbox One. However the sudden Smash announcement might mean it could possibly also see a release on Nintendo's new console. After all Cloud is the very first character to join the Smash roster without a single appearance on a Nintendo console up to that point. It's entirely possible that Nintendo wants FFVII on the NX but that this was part of the agreement.

* As an addendum to my own theory a second EvilGenius, with a god-like persona and self image along the power to back it up, used his scientific genius to provide his own genetic contribution to proto-Jenova. And thus, along with Davros, the [[NewGods Tiger-Force]] at the core of all things has brought devastation to that once lush and peaceful planet. He has turned the planet into a cosmic sewer and has fouled paradise beyond repair.
