Hey, what weird, odd stuff have you encountered during your FF7 experience? I'll start... It's sometimes weird how when certain monsters (e.g. Beach Plug) have Enemy Skills or certain attacks that they don't really use at all. In this example, it has "Big Guard" but never casts it for their defense.  :-o
 
This looks promising but has been done many times.

Lemme think...

I find it strange that there are some areas of the game that seem to lead somewhere but do not (such as the area after the ancient forest with an unseen and inaccessible cave)

I also find it strange that the game can run all of the story with just one disc (though the fmv's will be out of order)

I also find it strange that the curse ring accessory was so hard to find (who the hell checks a random plank for a key and then tries it on a random door?)

What else....

Oh, I find it strange that the items "handkerchief" and "masamune" are awarded but are completely unusable...
 
Oh yeah, and there was something about the sweeper machine parts or something.

And the hidden materia. man do i wish they added holy, aero, and water
 
If some guy told me how to "Save on the world map", I'd be very afraid.  But this is a video game, so it's okay.

http://www.ff7-universe.com/ - Click on "Strange + Unusual".  A load of things are mentioned there, though it appears that Emperor Steele lost interest in keeping track of things after Corel Prison.
 
I also like how it mentions Texas at Tifa's bar... like on the signs and stuff. xD.
Where is Texas in the world of FF7...?
And Barret throws the money to Cloud for the reactor job with his gun arm... That TAKES skills. xD.

On ff7 universe, the fourth point under Costa del Sol... anyone know what Emperor Steele is implying there?

One thing I'd like to mention: When Sephiroth burns down Nibelheim and goes to the reactor to "meet his mother", he's basically like "I've finally found you.  You were superior to the humans, but they took the Promised Land from you... but do not worry, because I'm here with you now.  We will go together to the Promised Land and take revenge on the Planet!"

But then he just slices off her head?  What is his problem!?

Im pretty sure that thing he pulled off was not her head. but some part of the machinery. I think she was in the tank behind the thing he pulled off
 
No no, it was definitely her head.  It's more visible in Crisis Core and in last order, and you can see that it's a head if you view it in Kimera.  Also, Jenova's headless next time the party encounters her, so it makes sense... from that perspective.

Jenova SYNTHESIS is supposed to be Jenova's head morphed into something more monstrous.

Proof (at 2:30).
 
I can explain the whole head being chopped off deal:

He DID pull off this machanichal angel thing in front of jenova's tube because it was in the way. But more to the point:

Sephiroth was going to simply free jenova but he was injured by cloud when he stabbed him from behind in a fit of rage (refer to the mideel lifestream part of the game)

Because of his injury he couldn't drag jenova's mostly lifeless body (she had been "dead" for a long time) so he simply cut off her head and took her with him knowing that her body would eventually follow him anyway.

He was probably going to take her entire body with him but as he was injured and limping away, he couldn't

And FYI: the body was at shinra because hojo expected the reunion to happen wherever jenova was, which it didn't.
 
Xelane is right. Hojo himself said (I think it was at the Northern Crater (beginning of Disc 2) that the Reunion was a mere hypothesis that was to be taken place at the Shinra Building because of Jenova's corpse, but eventually didn't happen because Sephiroth brought the head back to the Shinra Building and Jenova went loose and wreaked havoc all over the place.
 
Well the shinra massacre was done by jenova DEATH masquarading as sephiroth (possibly acting like a surrogate body) and I think jenova's head was at the crater due to the fact that sephiroth "died" with it in his possession.

And yeah Hojo did say that early into disc 2 before Weapon were released.

(I have played this game too many times, I can remember beating it at least 50 times literally)

A new mystery to me: why did they make sephiroth's sword ridiculously long? and while on the subject: how did he enter buildings with it and where was it when he wasn't holding it?
 
@Xelane: Concerning your second-to-last post, I had thought of that, except... Sephiroth, at that point, believed Jenova to be an Ancient.  Did he have any idea about the Jenova Reunion Theory?  He knew about the "calamity from the skies" that had killed all of the Ancients, but he didn't know that the calamity was Jenova.

Concerning your last post: At one point in Dissidia, Sephiroth is seen pulling his sword out of nowhere*.  He can probably make it vanish into thin air as well.  Though that's in Dissidia and not in the original FF7.  Still, there's no other explanation.  And I think they made the sword so long to make him more intimidating and unique in his own way.  And it did really work to help make Sephiroth the iconic figure that he now is.

*Here. <---(And in regards to that vid, at first I thought Cloud said "What I want most... is to find myself!" o_O  (That bit's at the end.))


I'll follow up on your point, though.  Sephiroth uses his sword very irresponsibly.  He just leaves it in Tifa's father's body after he kills him.  What if Zack were the one to pick it up and not Tifa?  The risks this guy takes... He also leaves it in President Shinra, but is seen with it later.  (He probably encountered the Midgar Zolom in the marshes and thought "Crap, where's my sword?" and had to go back to get it :lol:)

Finally, in FFVIIAC (and in ACC), after Cloud defeats Kadaj, Kadaj's blade is seen falling down the side of a building.  Yet he mysteriously gets it back when Sephiroth dissipates.
 
HO-LY Moses!! :-o :-o  If you can wield that thing, you're strong enough to "take revenge on the Planet" for sure!!

So what did they use that for?  Reaping the fields during harvesting season in ten seconds?
 
I think that most of the mysteries ITT can be explained by saying that the world of FF7 doesn't have the same laws of physics as our own :-P (and it doesn't; magic can be used, after all)

Maybe Sephiroth's sword is magic? Maybe he carries it in his bag in infinite holding (something that almost all video games have; where else would the characters hold all of their equipment? :-D).
 
That's something I tend not to think about, but you're right.  There seems to be an invisible and massive stash that the characters can individually dig into, pulling stuff out of air whenever they want.  If those 99 Potions, Hi-Potions, Ethers, Hero Drinks, Phoenix Downs, and all that other stuff were being physically carried around, surely their journey around the world would take a heck of a lot longer :|  And then they wouldn't have been able to stop Meteor in time.
 
If I remember correctly Odadchis where used by footmen against cavalry. They would cut through the man and the horse.
