So for those of you who wants to know more about the Weapons since TFS is skipping all the non-essential stuff, back in the Icicle Inn, a little town you normally visit between the events at the City of Ancients and the Northern Crater, you can find recordings of Dr. Gast and Aerith's birth mother discussing various topics. One such topics are the Weapons. The Weapons are basically the planet's antibodies - when the planet is facing a life-threatening crisis like the one it's currently facing, the Weapons awaken to completely obliterate that threat. However, because Sephiroth erected a barrier around the Northern Crater, the Weapons can't get to him, and so they're rampaging and attacking Shinra's main installations since they consume the most Mako energy.

[@ImTopin]

So the weapons are here because of the meteor which sephiroth is the cause of, and when sephiroth is killed, it'll go away, but because of the barrier, they can't. Am I on track?

[@TheKpa11]

One could make the argument that it's pointing out that humans society is killing the planet so even though there's a magical meteor coming down, these WEAPONS are robotic and are only programmed to attack what's actively causing the most harm to the planet.......THANKFULLY DUE TO PLOT (And maybe some confusion on what is actually a threat maybe) they suck at it, Sapphire really didn't capitalize that much, Emerald is just coasting underwater, Ruby is just hanging out in the desert, Ultima is just flying about and never actually fires on anything, and Diamond takes its sweet time doing a thing.

[@shadeknight6537]

@@ImTopin It's never explained in game because nobody really knows what the Weapons are or why they're rampaging, but that's the basic idea. The awoke at the end of last part, after Sephiroth summoned Meteor. But, for one reason or another, implied to be because of the barrier, the Weapons either can't sense him or are confused, hence why they're going after literally everything but him.

@@Basch152 well you almost forgot the fact that was the lifestream the force that stopped Meteor because Holy wasn't strong enough. Also, the praying Aerith smiling at the moment of everything fading black implies that she was the one who did that possible in order to save her friends, the children like Marlene and of curse the humanity.

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

As I understand it. Understand first the Planet = Organism thing, meaning the Lifestream is its blood, and that Jenova is a parasite that feeds on it, not unlike Lavos from Chrono Trigger, honestly. While we're here, Jenova isn't a lady, it's much more like The Thing. It's an indeterminate, hive-minded biomass that shapeshifts to accomplish its goals, and can assimilate and replicate organic life forms it comes across. Vaguely similar examples of this would include Halo's Flood, or Starcraft's Zerg, though clear differences between them exist. If The Thing and Lavos had a baby, I think you couldn't do better than Jenova. The "lady" is most likely some random Cetra Jenova was impersonating when it froze. Possibly a puppet it was using, possibly a sacrifice to lure Jenova's biomass into cold enough temperatures to freeze it. When Jenova first crashed to the planet, it began trying to feed on it, via the lifestream. It isn't exactly spelled out how, but the Cetra somehow managed to combat Jenova, and eliminate enough biomass, and/or contain enough in the northern crater where it froze, for Jenova to essentially go dormant. Not dead, just with no usable biomass. It did possibly still have a tap on the lifestream, but it for sure got one when Sephiroth got tossed in in Nibelheim. The Black Materia is ostensibly of Jenova's creation, being the method Jenova would employ to leave the planet in search of the next. It's possible Jenova impersonated a Cetra to see to its creation, but we really just don't know how it came to be, only that it wouldn't make sense for anyone but Jenova to make, and Jenova, having access to the lifestream, likely had the means to make it. When Shinra unearthed Jenova cells, and injected it into things, they (perhaps unknowingly, thought it's possible Hojo knew and just didn't care) allowed Jenova to acquire new biomass, and effectively reanimate, giving it agents to control again. The Reunion is Jenova recalling all these splintered bits of biomass to reunite, finish feeding on the planet, and blow this popsicle stand. Up to now, the Cetra, who could communicate with the planet, took on the role of its protectors, and then Jenova was effectively "dead", so the planet never needed to finish the job. However, now that Jenova is active again, is actively feeding unapposed, and is engaging its final plan to return to space, the planet is panicking, and sending out its own defense system, WEAPON. The planet isn't bright though, and apparantly can't direct them specifically, and beyond that, the barrier keeps the kaijus out of the northern crater, so WEAPON is just scouring the globe blindly to destroy everything harming the planet. Remember that through the planet = organism model, the lifestream is essentially blood, and mako reactors are essentially leeches. It's only natural for WEAPON to target them. They're looking for a parasite, and found one. The argument of whether Sephiroth is literally just a suit Jenova is using, or if Sephiroth is somehow influencing it, is unclear, and largely seems to fall along lines consistent with how much stock a person puts into the expanded story. Vanilla FF7 purists tend to believe Sephiroth truly died, and Jenova is the only real villain, people into Crisis Core and Advent Children tend to believe Sephiroth started overriding Jenova's will, or at least negotiating with it. Regardless of which side you're on, though, the thing you chased to the Northern Crater WASN'T Sephiroth, that was 99-100% Jenova cells. It's debatable whose will was at the helm, but it was jenova who actually killed Aerith.

The best part is, it makes sense. Recall the reason Tifa was so bitchy to begin with, with the deaths of each of her parents. Now she's getting a repeat of that with Cloud. However, now that she has a second chance, plus her own development from Ep 22, she doesn't completely revert back. Of course, her second chance isn't exactly what she hoped for so....yeah...

[@BDSquirrel]

Best part too is remember who voices Tifa here. Then remember who was one of Sarah Williams' big breaks in anime, Sayaka Miki of Madoka Magica. She herself had a pretty heartbreaking iconic line full of despair and regret, which I hope most of you know about. Either way, I got those same vibes here. Barret may say that Cloud f*cked up, but Tifa knows full well that she was the bigger f*ck up in the long run.

[@LyonEnigma]

TL;DR, You poor thing, you're doing great sweetie. This version of Tifa is just straight up my favorite character in anything, ever. She's made so many mistakes, said and done so many bad things, but deep down she is a good person, no matter how much she might claim otherwise. In Season 1 she was more a loose collection of character defects than an actual person, someone who used her past as an excuse to spread her misery as far as possible. By all conventions, she was unforgivably horrible on account of the constant threats and insults she dealt Cloud. Seasons 2 and 3 painted a picture of a woman crushed by the weight of all that had been. With Aerith, she displayed a level of compassion and understanding that even Tifa herself seemed a bit surprised by. With Yuffie, she showed genuine remorse for the kind of person she had become, but found a purpose in saving her friends from the same loneliness and grief that poisoned her mind. Right now, she's going to step up and be the friend Cloud always needed, someone who props him up rather than tear him down. Tifa's going to make things right, even if it costs her the rest of her life and I gotta say, that is true strength.
