I don't know how but my friends in my dreams are even hotter this second go-round.
I got wind of rumors that Shinra was going to collapse the plate above Sector 7 so I went undercover to get more information.
So there's this guy who runs a casino and entertainment district in the slums. Really skeevy, occasionally takes 'wives'. He's the one with the info, so I planned to get close to him.
Aerith and Cloud decide to try to save me. So that's how we all end up on dresses competing for this man's affections and I'm actually not surprised to say Cloud won. He was too cute not to win. But I wasn't expecting them and this was technically my first time meeting Aerith and I was pretty much immediately that Brooklyn 99 'I have just met her and' meme.
Anyway we threaten the man, get the info, then end up dropped into the sewers to fight monsters. while we try to get back to sector 7 in time to stop Shinra.
Again it's really similar events but they're playing out very differently. I definitely don't remember the trainyard being like that before and those new phantom things keep showing up.
Of course, I know they succeeded in dropping the plate the last time, but this timeline is different, maybe we can save all those people...
