Move this if viewed necessary, as although it may concern a Square-Enix title, it also concerns other anime, and possibly video game titles if they come to mind. Ok, about... Three things that came to mind concerning the planet's lifecycle and general health. If placed in question form, they are slightly rheutorical, as I only mean to speculate in the hopes that there are fans of the same fictional mediums from which my ideas branch from here to join. 1. Sesshomaru's Tenseiga from the anime and manga InuYasha. If one dies and is slowly digested by the planet over a period of time, which strengthens and enlarges the lifestream, can the Tenseiga be used to recover the consciousness and life-energy of perished individual lifeforms from the lifestream and return it to life? or cut off the transfer of life-energy to the lifestream in the first place. Also, for those familiar with Tenseiga's reforging and access to the attack "Meidou Zangetsuha", does that mean if Tenseiga existed in the world of FFVII, that it could instantly send its victims to the lifestream? 2. Goku's Spirit Bomb / Genki-Dama from the anime and manga Dragon Ball Z. Is it safe to say that if Goku initiated his collection of energy for the Spirit Bomb, it would gather energy directly from the planet's lifestream, and animals, and plants, and any human beings generous enough to lend their energy? 3. Considering the conventional energy problems of the world, and Shinra's effective, but long-term disastrous approach... I've come up with a way of what would return the planet to good health, AND replace Mako as a power source. Step 1: Collect as much materia as possible from around the world, find any living remnant of Sephiroth, or Kadaj, Yazoo, OR Loz... who were able to organically bond with and utilize materia in that manner... equip their bodies with the vast amount of materia, and end their lives, sending a large quantity of life-energy back to the lifestream, the LIFE of the entities AND the condensed mako/life-energy stored in the materia... If possible, it would not be an idea to erase all clear evidence of Shinra, Mako use, Geostigma, etc... And, as strange as this sounds... If there any last remaining scientific minds on the planet (I would suppose so) if they could be tapped into correctly, the seven Chaos Emeralds of Sonic the Hedgehog fame could be properly utilized to provide the planet with continuously renewable power... Not to mention the Master Emerald would be a decent means of reversing any misuse of the seven emeralds by the wrong people...
Woah, man. Too much. (I read it though, not sure what to post 'n' reply...) Edit: Don't really care for the stuff "other" than FFVII.
I know... but it's fun to ME... Of COURSE it's fiction... I found that a bit rude... Why do you play Final Fantasy games in general? It's fictional ya know. ;)
