Its basically about Cid, okay. Now listen carefully because this could get a bit confusing…he was born 32 years ago, from when they story starts, right? Well, skipping to a completely different part now, when Elmyra takes Aeris from Ifalna, she looks about 4 or 5 years old right, and I swear somewhere in the game it says that she was 4 or 5, but I may have imagined it.
Anyway, so when Aeris was 4 or 5, it was 16/17 years ago, because Aeris is 22 at the beginning of the game. And as mentioned by someone in the game, this was when Shinra’s space program was launched. (I cannot remember who said this, but someone did!).
Cid was the lucky and became the pilot of the Shinra No.26, the rocket that he was going to fly to space. That would mean he would be 15/16 roughly when he was going to pilot the plane.
The war ended between Shinra and Wutai just as the space shuttle was to be launched. And I assume that Yuffie was born after the war finished. And by consulting the game manual, I can see that Yuffie’s birthday is November 20th. And Cid’s is February 22nd. That means that the war ended in November some time, I think, and Cid would have probably been 15 until Feb 22nd, when he would have been 16 (again, this is all relying on some guess work, here). Don’t you think that is a bit young to fly a space shuttle???
My next point: Vincent was born 57 years ago, he is 57, yes, not 27 as it states in the manual. You see as most people will know, Vincent locked himself in his coffin for 30 years and how would he do that if he was only 27. He would be -3!!! Anyway, when Cid was born, Vincent would have been 25. He would have probably been with the Turks then as I assume he locked himself up when he quit the Turks.
If the Turks visited Rocket Town when Cid was ABOUT to fly the rocket, which they probably would have done, Vincent might, just might… have already met Cid!
Yeah, I know its not that great, but its quite interesting… =)

Well, this is certainly interesting. I might check this out once. Now I’m pretty curious ^_^
Was that peice of information needed at all? It just didn’t feel like it went right there, or something.
This doesn’t make sense, either. 🙁

Vincent is 57 in terms of how long he has lived. He is 27 in terms of physical appearance due to the fact that he stopped ageing after Hojo experimented on him.
Yes, he stopped aging, but he’s still getting older….. Nobody can stop that! 😉
Well how can I do that? If I don’t read it, I don’t know if I don’t like it or not so basically I didn’t read it for no reason at all and if I read it and then don’t like it I’m screwed.
Hojo infected him with Jenova cells. His Limit breaks represent the results of the Jenova treatment. Under stress, Vincent turns into all kinds of monsters, this is the effect of Jenova cells on him. And Jenova cells probably enable Vincent to remain young and strong. He’s actualy 57, as Xaos said.
Good point. And if you think about it, Vincent would have nearly been Sephiroth’s father if he had continued with Lucrecia and not Hojo.
My theory would be that sephiroth was indeed born five years ago but due to an overwhelming amount of Jenova cells into his body not only made him supernaturally strong but also rapidly inscreased his aging gene.
Another point I thought worth mentioning is that Sephiroth was meant to have died i believe it was four years ago, so that would mean that he would have been one year old, this is why I believe that the game was undeed unfinished as a recent thread states (can’t remember exactly which one) because if look into the story too much then you see as sorts of inconsistency’s in the storyline.
Finally as you stated SB that Vincent was nearly Sephiroth’s father, if he was then he wouldn’t have been experimented and as such he most probably wouldn’t have lost it in Nibelheim in the flashback and then there wouldn’t be a final fantasy VII at all.

Some very good points…
