Poor Henry Cavill, this lunacy just keeps following him around and fucking him over. He probably figured Warhammer 40K would be safe from this shit because it is completely antithetical to everything these idiots pretend to stand for, but NOPE. That just gives them MORE incentive to fuck with it if anything. :maybe

At least Stellar Blade is genuinely set to give a massive middle finger to these idiots by doing well despite (and in fact because) of their best efforts.

Only a week left fellas. :banderas

Okay I'm not saying you're wrong on it being stupid BUT.

If you use the desk right at the start of the game and read some of the lore there, it outright brings up the "theory" that GF's can cause memory loss but stresses that it hasn't been proven. Later on you can talk to a Garden staff member who outright tells you to "ignore any rumors related to GFs because you'll be using them a lot".

So the odds are that they KNEW the risks and simply said nothing, considering the benefits that GFs give to outweigh the drawbacks. It's also one of the primary reasons Irvine doesn't use them until the events of the game.

Now the obvious problem here is that all that is completely hidden within optional dialogue and lore that you can completely miss, with the main story not highlighting it at all outside of the Orphanage plot twist.

My point was never weather it was a good twist or a bad one. Only that it ISN'T, as the video suggested, a plot hole.
It never going anywhere was always my problem with it. Not like everyone gets averse to using gf's anyways so why is it even there? Sure as hell not going to stop me from drawing 45 more ultimas and drawing shit from triple triad. Squall's memories are going to have to stay fucked and continue to get worse as far as I'm concerned :skully.

I mean TBF the fact is that they needed the power that GF's provide if they were going to have any shot at saving the world at the end. If only it was the GF's that allowed them to resist TIME COMPRESSION and therefore get to actually fight Ultimecia, as opposed to the actual reason which was love and friendship. :heston

Like I imagine they probably stopped using them afterwards but you're right that they really should have done something with that.

The biggest real consequence of the orphanage stuff is just giving another explanation for Irvine hesitating on shooting Edea and being the source of Squall's abandonment issues (even if he couldn't remember why he had them in the first place) and therefore why he was such a dick at the start of the game.
