[1173] Fan Theories

The two Reddit posts that build the foundation of this strip:

• [FF7R + FF7 Ending Theory] I think we have been misled since 1997
• Quit acting like you know me." The evidence against Aerith (with timecodes) [heavy spoilers]

• Ye Thuza: The ending of Final Fantasy VII Remake was obviously poorly executed. But in the last days, some exciting fan theories have popped up. In particular, there's evidence that Aeris knows the whole story of the original game and is now trying to prevent the events from occurring.
• Ye Thuza: Why, you may ask...

• Ye Thuza: Well, because we all might have misinterpreted the ending of the original game with Red XIII running towards an overgrown Midgard. It may well be that mankind hasn't become one with nature, but that it has perished! Just as Bugenhagen suggested!

• Ye Thuza: What do you think? Will Square be able to give an old story an exciting new twist that will captivate old and new players alike? Or will it turn out to just be one of Nomura's usual overcomplicated and ultimately meaningless stunts?

• Woman: Final Fantasy, is that something like Fortnite?
• Baby: Brabel-dabeldu.

• T-shirt: Jenova's Witness
• Ye Thuza: The ignorance of some people is just mind-boggling.
• David: You'd think nobody would be talking about anything else!
