MadDogMike posted:"Cult leader" strikes me as a little strong, Barret may be leading them where he wants them to go but I don't really feel like he's manipulating them per se. He definitely fanatically believes enough in his cause to do violence on its behalf of course, and the game definitely doesn't shy away from pointing out the stress and risk being guerillas/terrorists inflicts on them even if it's pretty obvious that yes, Shinra is bad and needs to be stopped. Nah, I think it's a pretty fair comparison. He uses the destruction to get them to commit to the mission, sets up the struggle in abstract terms that indicate that it's much more important than any amount of damage they may have caused, suggests that anything they might do is justified because it's in retaliation against Shinra who hurt the planet first, and sets himself up as the moral center and source of absolution. That's pretty textbook "bind people to the cause" 101. Let's put it this way: if we hadn't seen Shinra blow up the reactor (and if I hadn't played the original), I'd be theorizing that Barrett gave Jesse plans for an overly powerful bomb specifically to create and then exploit this despair to further indocrinate her.  "There ain't no getting off this train we on."

Harrow posted:Yeah I don't think there's ever any more detail than: mako gets sucked up from the planet into a reactor -> the reactor does a thing with the mako -> electricity happens But if that's the case, then what's going on with the leaking pipe that Aeris is staring at in the intro? I mean, that is Mako leaking out of the pipe? But if the electricity is being generated in the reactor, then why is Mako getting pumped around the city? My assumption was that it was kinda equivalent to natural gas. Yeah, you can burn it in a power plant to make electricity, but you'll also be pumping it into homes so it can be burned for heating or whatever, since that's more efficient than using the electricity directly.
