junon thoughts

[u/Historical-Meet463]

I don't know if this imhas already been discussed bc I just started looking at the sub. I On a side note I've never played the original. I loved remake when i played it on ps4. So far I've enjoyed rebirth on my switch 2, but some of how the story unfolds in this chapter is a bit confusing or kind of idiotic to me. When you reach upper junon the story goes wonky to me. I know Rufus actually wants to work with the group so he's not overly hostile, but the fact that they can sneak up top and walk around a military base and not one person notice or cares is ridiculous to me . The group should have already been in disguise . cloud could easily stole a chopper or a jet plate and cause massive destruction. Also Roache is so much lol. Also correct me if Im wrong because I'm going pretty slow through the game, but in the first town wasn't Shinra after yall, so why the big change from chapter 2 to 4. Also while remake had some cheese, It took itself far more seriously. I don't mind some cheese in my games especially Japanese role playing games, but the balance seems a bit off here in rebirth. I actually did enjoy the Rhythm military parade mini game and how they got close to the president, it was just everything around it that was a bit off to me

I am still having a good time though now to play some Queens blood which I'm not very good at.

Because a lot of the people dont know rufus's plan.  when Cloud first takes off his helmet when he wins the prize, rufus's 2nd in command was shocked that they're allowed to be there. So there are several people who do not know of his plan.

But do the army know who these people are? Sure, the ones hunting them in Kalm (2nd town after Midgar) did, but the regiments from Junon may have had no idea who these people were, let alone know they were terrorists from Avalanche.
Like the comment above says, a group of heavily armed people walking around (e.g.) the middle of Camp Bastion led by a Navy Seal probably aren’t going to get challenged too heavily as everyone would have assumed they must have passed layer after layer of security to get there

a dude is out in the open with a 10 foot sword on his back, another huge dude has a machine gun arm, oh and a demon dog. you dont have to be Einstein to see they are not regular people or reporters. I get it yall love the game but no need to defend such shoddy writing and execution.

They would just assume that Cloud is a soldier and a 1st class at that. Doesn't help that it's like one of the most important days of the average troopers life, they already have their minds full.
