This section contains opinions and contributions from visitors to this site. I made this a separate section because I was sent some opinions that didn't fit into any of the other sections, so I decided to give them their own page.

If you want to comment on anything Jenova-related, please send your contributions and I'll add them to this page or to whatever area of the site they belong in. Thanks!

Hey, nice site! I gotta admit, I liked VII from the start, but the real clencher for me was seeing bad-old you-know-what basking in the pink glare inside that geodesic dome's with the steady beating of a heart clearly audible in the background amidst the "Who Are You...?" music. >gasp< Wow! That's a lot of syllables. Anyway, I have some information I'd like to contribute to your well-worthy site, and I believe you may find it quite useful...

First, I have some corrections I'd like to make. First, I believe Professor Gast didn't quit Shin-Ra entirely, yet merely opted out of the Jenova Project, hence his line when Hojo invites himself and a couple of his colleagues over to his winter home. "That's it! I'm severing all ties with the Shin-Ra!"

I also believe that, given the restrictions of trying to haul his mother around in all her huge bad-@$$-ness, Sephiroth opted to take the most important part - her head.

Second, as to the origins of all the Sephiroth-clones, I believe they are NOT rejects from Soldier, rather the victims of the Nibelheim incident. After all, in Zangan's letter to Tifa (found in the piano in her pseudo-house, second disc) mentions noticing Hojo arriving post-mortem and telling his colleagues to gather up the bodies for the "experiment." And, seeing as how all of the test subjects were already dead (well, half-dead in Cloud's case) would explain their vegetable-like state. Undead, even more so than Vincent. I'll discuss more on the dead/alive theory later...

Third, in the case of the Weapons, they weren't made in the event Jenova escaped. They were made during the time of the original crisis, as stated by Ifalna, yet were not needed because the Cetra subdued her (Jenova) by the time they (the Weapons) were complete.

Fourth, Ifalna did not escape from Icicle Inn to Midgar. She was taken to Shin-Ra's labs, where Hojo's experimentations most likely drained her to the point of death upon her escape to the Sector 7 slum. Remember Elmyra's flashback, when she said Aerith told her about how she'd escaped from a lab?

from A.L.'s second email:

Well, I suppose I've given away my theory as to the purpose of the Jenova Reunion already. But if you think about it, it DOES sort of make sense, considering synthesis technically means an amalgamation of several different materials to form one object/entity. But I WILL mention something about Jenova*DEATH. I notice that Sephiroth-clone #1 never fled the scene like he did in the previous Jenova encounters, which leads me to believe he himself became Jenova*DEATH and they decided not to show the transmogrification scene due to budget/time constraints, or just because they couldn't show something nasty like that (which probably isn't the case, given that such happens twice in the battle with Hojo).

Speaking of Hojo, I believe the Sephiroth-clone project was exactly what Jenova called for, seeing as how she has the capability of tapping into peoples minds with or without her cells being injected into them (injections only allow for her to directly communicate and/or manipulate them, otherwise it's all left to suggestion). Why did Jenova call for it? Well, though she DOES have to watch her girlish figure, a two thousand year diet is a little much. Mmm...human... Don't worry, they were already dead, anyway. Now that I think of it, I wonder if she'd planned that all along? Was the massacre of Nibelheim just more senseless violence? Or was it homicide with a purpose?

I think that the whole theory of Jenova falling from the sky, i think is true, I think that she was a Goddess that fell from the sky and landed in the northern crater without summoning meteo. Cetra had the black materia created from the mako and they summoned it upon Jenova, but with her being so godly she evaded and it caused the crater to get bigger, but as they tried to heal it she let a virus out to turn them into monsters gradually, but some didnt get effected and they sealed away Jenova in the planet. BUT the planet didnt create the weapons, Jenova used the planet to create the weapons against the Cetra when ever she was released. 2000 years later when Sephiroth did it, he was original normal Sephiroth with no jenova cells but he just had to see this thing in reactor which Jenova put a hypnotizing spell on Sephiroth thus whyhe called him mother, OR she could have been Goddess Mother that he recognised. But seeing that cloud killed sephiroth. Hojo found Jenova, Sephiroths body traveled the life stream and ended up at the nothern crater, BUT Hojo still had some of his blood and he recloned cloud and sephiroth from the jenova cells. Then when the weapons were released they went across the planet, Ultima Weapon destroyed land near junon and terrorized towns...same wiht Crystal Weapon, comming towards Midgar, this giving fact to Jenova creating and controling the weapons.

Sephiroth's appearance as the One Winged Angel would also have been a fitting point to mention, as the Sephiroth can be inerpreted, in some respects as angelic beings, or even gods. (Some believe that the Sephirot are the fragments of the True God's image which many mortals mistake for individual gods).

The word Sepherot is also related to the word Zephyr. I can't say for sure whether Zephyr came before Sepherot, or visa-versa, however I would be glad to find out if you so desire. The point here, is that Zephyr refers to a God of Wind, or of the CLOUDs.

Sephiroth and Cloud therefor share not only Jenova's cells, but a vague connection in their names. Unfortunately, I could find nothing to connect either character with the name Zak, aside from the fact that alot of Kabbalistic authors happen to have that name, or at least an element of it.

Now, as for Jenova. The fact that this word is so similar to the word Jehova (a mistranslation of the Hebrew tetragrammaton JHVH/YHVH, or Yahveh) could easily be seen as simple coincidence. In fact, I didn't even notice it until long after I made the Kaballah connection.
