She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

it's actually hilarious how aeristh actually is just wearing a slightly plain dress but the game treats her like she's wearing a potato sack with holes cut in it and introduces her surrounded by stray animals with the bad recorder theme

I told you that story so I could tell you this one...
Ehh, before I even saw the full scene I was like, "Oh my God, that dress is hideous." Her normal outfit isn't as bad as they keep roasting her for, though.
It's interesting that Aeris' dresses are ranked from worst to best, but Tifa's are just different flavors of... I dunno, provocative? It makes sense, but it's weird.

I mean that's how the game treats them. Tifa's dresses are just different but Madam M says she'll give you a dress equal to your accomplishments in Chapter 8.

Which makes perfect sense given it's tied to how much you pay Madam M for a "hand massage"

The hand massage doesn't affect Aerith's dress, it does factor into which dress Cloud gets though

Oh yeah, I got mixed up. I did all the sidequests in Chapter 8 and paid for the most expensive massage anyway lol

Don't tease the Octopus, kids!
The dress Cloud gets is based on whether you do Sam's quests, Madam M's quests, or no quests. How much you pay for the hand massage influences whether you get Madam M's quests or Sam's quests, but it doesn't directly affect Cloud's dress (as in, I think you can pay 3000 and still end up with Sam's quests, or you could pay 3000 and then not do any sidequests at all and get the worst dress).

Can confirm. I paid 3000 gil for the best hand massage (even though I felt like it was a really bad choice because money was relatively tight; mostly because I leaned on items because I suck at action RPGs), and I still got Sam's set of quests.

Got the coin flip wrong (I figured it was rigged but for some reason I thought it was double tails :downs:) and interacted with Johnny, though, which was my ultimate downfall. Curse Johnny for being so cool...!

I did all the sidequests in Ch8, Chose "heads" on the coin toss, paid 3000 gil to Madam M and then was given her sidequests. After doing those I got the best dress for Cloud and the best dress for Aerith.

How do you ensure you do Sam's sidequests? Just pay for the cheapest massage?

Calling the coin toss, getting the cheapest massage, and following and agreeing with Johnny outside the Honeybee Inn are points towards Sam. Refusing to call the toss, getting the most expensive massage, and ignoring or disagreeing with Johnny are points towards Madam M. Not sure about the middle massage option.

There’s no correct answer. Sam’s coin has a full chocobo on each side with both a head and a tail.

I could've sworn that it was double heads, per the key item menu. Is there a dialogue choice I'm forgetting? :psyduck:

It has the same thing on both sides, and he'll say it's heads or tails - whatever the opposite of what you pick is.

So it doesn't actually matter that it has the same thing on both sides, just that the rules aren't defined beforehand. Which is why refusing to participate makes him like you more.

So here's a question for the thread I still don't have an answer for myself after playing through a second time.

Why is President ShinRa hanging off a ledge at the end? Who knocked him out the window but didn't kill him and why?

It's easily missable but if you look to the side of his desk there's a big hole in the window, chances are when Sephiroth initially attacked Shinra HQ he was blown through the window and over the ledge.

He has heck of upper body strength to have been hanging there the whole three rear end hours we spent in the Drum.

Like, I saw that but looks the next guy says, how long was he hanging there? Why was he knocked off the ledge and left to hang?

The whole sequence would have been improved by him just being dead I think.

At first I thought Johnny was kind of funny, until suddenly I became extremely, irreversibly sick of his poo poo, but then his storyline immediately ended, so I feel like the writers understood his role well

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

His last scene with Tifa was pretty great.

Johnny: We can run away forever and it'll be all romantic and stuff!

Tifa: Polite but hard pass.

Johnny: Kay

Johnny shows up in Costa del Sol in the original.

Although in that one Tifa is like "Oh I want to catch up with Johnny, Cloud just come back later" which doesn't seem likely this time around lol
