We've been over this about a hundred times now.I've given you plently of examples you just refuse to believe it, and keep repeating yourself because you're to stubborn to concede when you have no argument left.
The bottom line is, the spell is optional, yes theres a description of it IF the spell is gained, but nothing suggests the optional spell is actually gained in the canon plot storyline, just as nothing suggests Cloud and party gained KOTR or Master Materia in the actual plot storyline.
Because he is leagues above him, he's just as above Cloud as Ganon is above Link, probably even more.
So he just let Raziel rip his heart out? If he had these so called spells he should've been able to neutralize him if he didn't want to kill him.
Well you just said the current Kain (who has all the spell supposedly) has lived through BO2, so why didn't he use any of the spells while he was in BO2? Or any of his appearances in SR? And give me the evidence that he actually re-acquired all of the spells, and not just regained the memory of the events.
Nor did i say the players decisions influenced it, i said if the player has a decision in the story, then in the story kain has a decision as well, which is true.
If something is optional for the player, it means its possible as well for Kain to not have gotten the spell.
For example, a mandatory materia in the storyline of FF7 is Fire, he needed it to ignite a mako reactor, that means in the story Cloud actually gets Fire materia, its a canon materia to the story, however optional materia like KOTR is a big "maybe" that he gets it in the story, yes its optional for the player, and its a "maybe" for Cloud.
Same thing with BO, Kain needed energy bolt to reach the switch in the story, but optional spells like spirit death is a "maybe" as well, its optional, and nothing suggests that he actually got it in the canon story.
Yes it is dialogue, BT you're really just picking at straws now rofl.
Its just as "in gameplay" as Raziel moving blocks, then you using that as "Kains skin can stand TONS OF WEIGHT!" lol, its no different from Cloud being run over from a 60 ton bolder.
Dude, to you BT, Kain can beat anyone so you saying that means basically nothing.
Why would Sephiroth take an hour to cast spells? Rofl.
Magic from the NL works basically instant, Sephiroth is about 30x faster then Kain, has instant teleport, has 30x more powerful TK, Kain is nothing. Sorry BT but its the truth.He blitz'd him? Rofl, more like Raziel just stood there and let Kain slash at him then stab him. And he did lose momentum why do you think he "stopped" ? Not losing momentum is Cloud shooting upwards and cutting up building pieces while keeping his momentum speed upwards, until Sephiroth hit him.
Sephiroth just toying around is about 50x more impressive then featless Kain.
But Kain doesn't say that in the actual STORYLINE, only if the spell is OBTAINED, which it isn't <-- try to cram that into your head please.
Haha what a good answer, I should start saying Cloud can bust planets, then just say "Why should he have to? He's got Omnislash"
Uhh after Raziel slashed him, he just stood there for like 5 seconds doing nothing, that should be plenty of time to bust out his uber spells.
He gains back his memory of the events, but i'm waiting on evidence on if he actually acquires his spells again. [/B]
What are you calling storyline again? since its all part of the story, he speaks as if it was part of the universe/story, so yeh it is, the optional part is gameplay which is not taken into canon, here ill help you understand by boldening the parts of your point here that is gamepaly. And the fact its not a description of what the spell doesin gameplay but in the universe its in makes it canon.
Unfortunaley hes not an American, he doesnt shoot first and ask questions later, he doesnt blast Raziel with a brain destroying bolt or freeze him in time to w8 around reading a magazine while Raziel unfreezes hoping Raziel is going to be civil afterwards, he was coming to him as a friend but the Hylden evil was pushing him into kiling Kain while Kain wasnt even prone to anything of the sort.
heavens above it seems ime just confusing you, heres how it is:
Kains real history is in Blood omen one, the first game right?
now...due to events in Soul reaver, a new timeline was created seperate from the mainstream that was Blood omen 2 which is where Kain lost his powers, however, the only kain to lose the powers was the BO 2 kain because the Kain in the present has actually excisted in BO 1 timeline but gained the BO2 as memories, so he has both the memoeries of BO 1 and BO 2, meaning he has the memory and powers of his former spells.
Thus in conclusion Kain has not lost any spells presently, only the BO 2 kain did, the events of BO 2 however only came to the present Elder Kain as memories. therefore Defiance is the only time we see Kain where he doesnt use spells, only ONE sequel.
yes you are, your claiming that the Players option which is all the players option is also Kains when Kains story is already written for him, he doesnt atually have a choice since the developers have already written out the events for him that will take place.
But things being mandatory for the playe mean nothing unless theres actualyl storyline behind the objects, if you needed a spell or object to access somewhere, that doesnt mean anything unless its stated somewhere in the story, otherwise its just gameplay. Its the descriptions that are important and what beings in the unviersrse say out of gameplay.
yeh its dialogue, just nothing much about the Master materia, I think your the one whos dieing argument leaves you picking at straws but mostly just gamepaly.
It is diffrent because no gameplay/balance calculation is made for Raziel pulling blocks about, their simply puzzle items, their volume and weight is static, the player has nothing to do with that and theres no balance to stop the player from being curb stomped like in the gamepaly with Cloud, the rocks one hitting him would be balance calcualted for damage.
Sephiroth is a joke, and it does mean something coming from me since a handfull of people agree but thats irrelvent, what is, is the fact that Sephiroth hasnt cast any spells from the Negative lifestream and the only powers that have been cast from it have been weak shadow dogs...his teleport is sluggish at best unless you have a new video to show. His TK has never even shown the ability to hold people down completly without their arms flaling about.
He stops when he has already got face to face with Raziel, under his own speed, he doesnt lose momentum after hitting the rock.
lol wut? yeh in your crazy little FF world...Sephiroth does nothing...nothing imrpessive at all, nice little dodge of my question though.
Kain tells us he obtained the spell lmao..what are you talking about it "isnzt zomg why arnt you listening to my logicless points!!" ., kain has already told us he gained the spell, the optional part is just that a gameplay option....GAAAMMMEEEPLAAYY say it with me...g-a-m-e-p-l-a-y.
err what points to Cloud even logically or in any way part of the gameplay, or universe be anything to do with busting planets, thats not even within the capabilities of FF universe...certainly not FF7
Thats like saying why a guy with a gun cant shoot back after being shot 20 times...he just cant, their badly damaged/weakened.
lol once again, ill explain, he doesnt lose his spells, only BO2 kain does, the present Kain gains MEMORIES from BO2 due to a time anomoly, he doesnt forget anything BO2, he gains BO2 itself as a memory of events after changing time, he has lived BO1 and BO2 timelines.
