sweet drug known as nostalgia. A week later, I got a call from my friend Todd.
 
“I"I found a copy of the game you wanted. I didn’t get a
chance to test it, but since I burned it to a disc, you’ll have to play it on
the Playstation 2.”
Line 43:
this. Not to mention, he wasn’t the world’s biggest Final Fantasy fan either.
 
“Remember"Remember, Michael, it’s a free copy,” I told myself,
“maybe"maybe you lucked into a beta copy.”
 
I popped it in, and I was surprised when I saw that

game? Curious, I picked up the Materia.
 
“Received"Received BASEMENT KEY”
 
Holy shit! I was excited to see that, since it meant

with him.
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: Please………do…..something.”
 
I got to the alcove, and of course I didn’t see Aeris

seen anyone in the game use. The camera did a close up to Vincent, as if he
were going to use one of his more powerful Limit Break moves. But this time, he
used an attack called “JENOVA"JENOVA OSMOSIS”. He then lunged onto Jenova LIFE
and…..started absorbing it.

“Obtained"Obtained IT’S YOUR FAULT”
 
….It’s your fault?
Line 203:
It was day two of this copy of Final Fantasy VII, if
it could still even be called that at this point. The start of Disc 2 didn’t
start off with Cloud giving the party a “let’s"let’s kick Sephiroth’s ass” pep talk,
but instead started with Vincent, still in one of the beds in the City of the
Ancients. Aeris came over to his bed and kneeled beside it.
 
“AERIS"AERIS: Hey, how are you feeling?”
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: It’s not the wound that hurts,”
 
“AERIS"AERIS: I know that you loved her, but the pain will
ease in time.”
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: Not as long as that bastard is out there.
Only Hojo could create someone so cold that he would kill his own mother.”
 
“AERIS"AERIS: Rest up, Vincent. We’ll leave tomorrow….
 
….I’m still so very sorry.”
Line 225:
talk to him.
 
“CLOUD"CLOUD: Ready to go?”
 
The options “yes”"yes” and “no”"no” appeared. I selected “yes”"yes”.
 
Now, I was in control of Cloud again. This time, Aeris

members. I tried selecting Cloud.
 
“CLOUD"CLOUD: So much sadness……”
 
I tried selecting Aeris.
 
“AERIS"AERIS: The poor guy…..”
 
This was what I was afraid of. The messages popped up

“Obtained"Obtained YOU’VE LET HER DOWN”
 
The game resumed, with Cloud, Aeris, Tifa, and Cid
Line 304:
Cloud.
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: I came back here to see her…..”
 
“…you"…you let her die.
 
“CLOUD"CLOUD: VINCENT, I tried…..”
 
Vincent’s sprite swiped his cape out with his arm.
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: NO, YOU DIDN’T!! You could have saved
her!!!!”
 
Vincent turned his back.
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: Just help me take her home.”
 
There was a cutscene with the party taken the crystal

turned to Cloud.
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: Holy won’t be able to destroy Meteor as long
as Sephiroth is alive.”
 
Line 337:
the Hellmasker Limit Break. But this time, only Cloud was able to fight.
Instead of the attack names that pop up when Vincent is in Limit Break mode, it
alternated between “YOU"YOU CUOLD HAVE DONE SOMETHING” and “SHE’S"SHE’S DEAD BECAUSE OF
YOU”. I won the fight. Afterwards, just like with the Death Gigas fight, I was
greeted by the Limit Break screen, showing where the Hellmasker Limit Break now
was. When I backed out of the menu, I was greeted by a black screen.
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: I’ll be going my own way once we get her
home.”
 
Line 363:
Hojo?
 
“GRIMOIRE"GRIMOIRE: His combat skills are top-notch.”
 
“HOJO"HOJO: Perhaps he could be used for the
experimentation? He is a strong vessel. Perhaps he could handle Jenova cells.”
 
Line 374:
the Shinra Mansion lab.
 
“GRIMOIRE"GRIMOIRE: Perhaps you could do the procedure? You
know he’s taken quite a liking to you.
 
“LUCRECIA"LUCRECIA: It doesn’t seem right, baiting the poor guy
by using his feelings for me.”
 
“GRIMOIRE"GRIMOIRE: Sometimes we have to make these sacrifices
for the sake of scientific advancement.”
 
Line 390:
mansion. Hojo and Grimoire walked in.
 
“GRIMOIRE"GRIMOIRE: You’re strength, reflexes, agility, and
endurance are even better than they were before. The injecting of Jenova cells
has really paid off.”
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: I feel better than ever.”
 
“GRIMOIRE"GRIMOIRE: That’s good to hear son.”
 
Grimoire left.
 
“HOJO"HOJO: There is one last test I want to try….”
 
I now saw Vincent in what looked like an interrogation
Line 407:
A red mist filled the room.
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: What is this? What the hell??!?!”
 
“HOJO"HOJO: These are augmented pheromones. They’re going
to increase your more……primitive….desires.”
 
Hojo then started laughing as the mist cleared.
 
“HOJO"HOJO: Bring in the next subject.”
 
It now cut to one of the cutscenes with better

enough to knock her to the ground.
 
“Vincent……please…"Vincent……please…..stop……..Vincent….WHY?!?!!?”
 
This dialogue in white text was all that was said
Line 435:
graphics.
 
“GRIMOIRE"GRIMOIRE: HOJO, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH
YOU!!!?!?”
 
“HOJO"HOJO: I had to see exactly how much adrenaline was
necessary to unlock physical changes in your son. I figured high-powered
pheromones and the sight of his beloved would do it.”
 
“But"But alas, he can’t completely transform. This
experiment is a failure. Kill the subject and the woman.”
 
The guards aimed their guns.
 
“GRIMOIRE"GRIMOIRE: No, stand down!!!”
 
They lowered their guns.
 
“GRIMOIRE"GRIMOIRE: When I tell the President about what you’ve
done, your career is finished.”
 
Line 457:
with Grimoire.
 
“HOJO"HOJO: Can’t have that happening then.”
 
Hojo lowered the gun.
 
“These"These two might prove useful. If I can alter him physically,
surely I can alter her memories.”
 
Line 469:
read the white text that showed up.
 
“Hojo…"Hojo….darling….something wonderful has
happened…..we’re having a boy.”
 
Line 479:
The flashback ended.
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: I know what I have to do now.”
 
The screen faded out, and when it faded back in, Cloud
Line 506:
picture of Vincent……as Chaos.
 
“Please"Please insert the other Disc 3”
 
……..The other Disc 3?
Line 517:
cave. Hojo was on his knees, facing the crystallized Lucrecia.
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: After everything you’ve done to her, to
me……to us. After every abomination you created in the name of science. You
deserve to die.”
Line 523:
Vincent pointed a gun at the back of Hojo’s head.
 
“But"But you have Jenova cells also.”
 
Vincent’s sprite then turned into a sprite of his
Chaos Limit Break. He performed what I assume was his “Jenova"Jenova Osmosis” move.
Hojo disappeared.
 
“Obtained"Obtained A SMALL SACRIFICE”
 
The screen then went to the Limit Break menu screen.
Line 535:
went to black.
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: After today, everything that has stood
between us will be done with. Then we can be together.”
 
Line 541:
door. Before he could exit, he was greeted by Cloud.
 
“CLOUD"CLOUD: Vincent, where the hell did that come from?”
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: Where did what come from?”
 
“CLOUD"CLOUD: Transforming into a demon? Using a gun
powerful enough to break the armor on the Sister Ray cannon? Single-handedly
wiping out Shinra?!?!?!?!?”
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: I got it from the same place you get your
strength: Jenova cells.”
 
“But"But while you let your cells manipulate you into
endangering the world….”
 
“I"I use other Jenova cells to make me stronger.”
 
Cloud walked in Vincent, joining (and I can’t believe
Line 563:
I opened up the item menu and used it on Vincent.
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: He caused this mess too.”
 
I tried again.
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: I’ll need all the strength I can get.”
 
All of these weird items have only worked on Vincent,
Line 574:
I tried one last time.
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: He’s the last one…..before him.”
 
If Vincent could absorb Jenova cells and the life of

and landed at Sephiroth’s cocoon in the crater.
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: You’re the last of what poisons a world that
Lucrecia and I could have been happy together in….”
 
“I"I don’t find you fit to even consider thinking of you
as my son.”
 
Line 613:
But Sephiroth didn’t die.
 
“SEPHIROTH"SEPHIROTH: It’s the Lifestream that powers me now,
not Mother,”
 
Line 621:
fights him when he is in Cloud’s mind. Vincent’s Chaos form was bigger now, and
had dragon-like facial features now. I also noticed that Vincent’s name on the
party member list was replaced with “CHAOS"CHAOS X”.
 
Sephiroth hit Vincent with Omnislash, one of Cloud’s

get one last unique item though.
 
“Obtained"Obtained PERMANENT SOLUTION”
 
The game went back to Sephiroth’s cocoon.
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: Why is Holy not stopping Meteor? Isn’t
Sephiroth’s evil aura gone now?
 
“…"…..There must be another that’s holding it down.”
 
“…"…..I have to do it, don’t I?”
 
“…"…..I’ll at least see her one last time.”
 
What did Vincent have left to do? Sephiroth was dead,
Line 658:
As the game prompted, I went back to Lucrecia’s cave.
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: This will be the proper place to do it.”
 
To do what?
Line 664:
Then, Tifa and Aeris ran through to cave entrance.
 
“TIFA"TIFA: We found Cloud’s sword in the cave, you
bastard!”
 
“AERIS"AERIS: We know what you did!!”
 
“TIFA"TIFA: We’ll kill you, you son of a bitch.”
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT:…I don’t blame you for hating me. I realize
I’m just as twisted as Sephiroth is. But if this has to happen, I’d rather do
it on my terms.”
 
PERMANENT SOLUTION? Talking about seeing Lucrecia “one"one
last time”? “This"This has to be done”?
 
Please, don’t tell me Vincent is going to have to do

have another chance. Refusing, I backed out of the item menu.
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: This has to be done.”
 
I backed out again.
 
“VINCENT"VINCENT: The planet depends on this.”
 
With a tear in my eye, I selected PERMANENT
