You know, I'm a little disappointed we didn't get Cait Sith chewing Barret out for the people who died in the initial Mako reactor bombings.

That's a good moment for him, though his speech to everyone in Midgar was also good.

I always thought it was hypocritical of anyone in Shinra to judge the treatment of Midgar citizens.

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

I suppose, but after all the crap he'd been taking for Barret for being in Shinra (some justified, some not so much so), and considering Barret probably killed as many people blowing up the reactors as Shinra did, I don't think he was totally unjustified.

That's just me though.

Nah, Shinra has a tendency to murder everyone in the vicinity whenever one of their reactors explode, so I think Barret is still way beyond their kill count. Not to mention, of course, collapsing a part of the city, ON ANOTHER PART OF THE CITY, TO KILL 5 PEOPLE!

It's not a competition.

Killing people in town massacres is bad.

Killing people in terrorist bombings is also bad.

A person whose primary concern is the safety and wellbeing of people is not obligated to pick one to support. "Both of these murderers are assholes," is a valid opinion.

I always thought it was hypocritical of anyone in Shinra to judge the treatment of Midgar citizens.

That's what makes it a good scene. It is absolutely hypocritical, and Barret says as much, which causes Cait to back down. But even so it's still something Barret has to accept and come to terms with.

So, I just started Final Fantasy VII on Steam. Got to my first save point.

Relevant? Probably not.

If you've been watching this, it might help you appreciate some of the jokes a bit more actually.

I'm now binging season 3, haven't seen it yet.

"You know what's a bad idea? Pissing your wife so badly, she turns into an Oglop. Happened to my great-granddady Cid IX".

Thank you for pandering to my childhood nostalgia.

Edit: Cloud, accept the sidequest when one comes up.

Cat, that was a dark plan there for somebody leaving because of moral compunctions.

Was that oxygen tank thing supposed to be a reference to the games?

Cid and Shera's relationship isn't exaggerated that much, right? Neither was Cid?

Why does he keep enunciating "goddamn tea"?

The oxygen tank thing is more potshots to FFVIII. I never touched it so I'm not annoyed by how much they talk smack about it.

Cid and Shera's relationship was Cid being very verbally abusive to Shera in the original and very one-sided. The BDSM with her being the dominatrix and him being an Aggressive Submissive TFS added is an exaggeration but given that the both of them use it as a healthy outlet for their frustrations without actively hurting each other, not only is their relationship here is the most healthiest we seen of the two but their issues with each other has already been ironed out before the start of the series. So yeah exaggeration but one that's better than canon.

Because you gotta drink your GODDAMN TEA!

Sometimes it feels like it's just the name of that specific blend and that's how you're supposed to pronounce it like that.

Sales guy: “Welcome to the tea store. We just received a shipment of GODDAMN TEA.”

Customer: “What kind?”

Sales guy: “GODDAMN TEA. We also have jasmine and green tea over by the shelves.”

Edit: Just noticed, is the title a Final Fantasy X joke?

No, "Machinabridged" reflects the fact that TFS partnered with Machinima to make this series.

I mean. X does take place in the same world as VII, just an indeterminate length of time before. A major character in X-2 is presented as the founder of Shinra Corp. He develops the idea to use the Farplane/Lifestream as a power supply while literally being named Shinra.

So that may be better or worse for your crossover fic, depending on how you look at it. tongue

Eh, I just chalk it up to "History marches on".

Shinra had what seemed like a great idea at the time. An indeterminate number of years later, it turns out to have not been so great. Sometimes that happens.

The FFX universe being a prequel to FFVII is still profoundly stupid.

No, "Machinabridged" reflects the fact that TFS partnered with Machinima to make this series.

Machinima is a specific type of format, not just the website. I thought the show got its name because it was an Abridged Series done via Machinima.
