That bad, huh? I know what you mean. Wutai lost against Shinra 'cause we didn't have the technology to combat theirs. But since all that stuff is lame and horribly emo, I'll say that at least technology has its bright sides! Like cell phones. And maybe airships, except they suck. Seriously, seriously SUCK. I feel sick just thinking about 'em.

From what I've heard, yeah. When I went out, we followed the edge of the forest for a little ways… I kinda wanna see if there's a path that leads in there. Who knows, there might be treasure! Or some hideous monster… But still, treasure! Alternatively, if you don't like the sound of that, there's a bunch of other places we could explore.
