is it identity fraud if you genuinely have part of that guys brain in your brain? also i'm not actually sure he did, iirc he was claiming to be cloud strife the whole time
Was it part of his brain or did he just absorb Zach's memories from the life stream as well as Zach's fashion sense?
are memories not part of the brain? certainly they're close enough for a response to a shitpost
Oh, do we want to get into the epistemology of memories? I love doing that! Are memories a part of a brain? Do they physically reshape our brains to store them better? Is memory simply data that can be placed into any brain?
I'm half joking half serious.
nodding thoughtfully. i think it isn't identity fraud if you have the other guys memories because you remember doing all that stuff and also aren't claiming to be the guy, just someone with mostly your own past who is very similar to him
Not just his memories. His sword as well.
Mmm. Yes, you've raised interesting and thought-provoking epistemological questions to critique the physicalist concept of memory connected to a simplistic positivist worldview. Very well done.
But, have you considered, PISS?
memories are stored in the balls
They are called materia
HOW DID I NEVER CONSIDER PISS!?
I was going to say that it's not really a fashion sense so much as a uniform but I don't know if all those gears, cogs, screws, and bangles and shit are standard issue
SOLDIERs seemed to have the freedom to use custom equipment the higher their rank was
It's weird because he called himself Cloud but the way he acted and dressed and fought were all copied from Zack
yeah but like, that isn't identity theft, you know? cloud is just kind of a poser and doesn't realize it
He almost fooled Aerith too
Gaslighting yourself so hard you trick the one person who should know you're lying
Haven't played the game in ages, but didn't Zack and Cloud's mako mingle? And then Aerith could sense that with her ancient powers or something? Maybe I'm hallucinating plot points
I've never played it at all. Does mako mingling mean sex?
~~Yes.~~
no, they got mad magicscience done to them and their souls got kinda mixed up
