Corneo has large pets that sometimes travel around with him. One of them lives in a sewer. How does any of this work? Does he throw raw meat down the trapdoor? Did some poor underling have to tie Aps up down there? Does he care for them himself? Is Don Corneo a mirror to Rufus Shinra, training his pets as Rufus trains Dark Nation? Do many people in this world have a monster pet? Is it pokemon?
Thoughts welcome. :)

I think we know what happens to his ābridesā when heās finished with them.
I once wrote a fic with a āmonster marketā in Wall Market where people with money to burn could buy defanged, declawed, de-poisoned-sacāed or whatever pets for themselves and their kids. I was particularly imagining the wealthy plateside primary school girls having a mad pash on gighees
Very rare, very expensive, everbody else has one, Daddy, why canāt I?
Theyāre untameable. Separated from their Christophers, gighee live short miserable lives in captivity and soon die, but not before their little girl owners have lost interest in them.

Dark, I like it! (Though if they were the Donās ex-brides, I wonder how heād get access to the quantity of mako needed to transform themā¦ Well probably lots of waste sludge in Midgar. Meanwhile there Shinra are, spending mad gil to make little pods in the Nibelheim reactor, turns out you get better results if you just chuck someone down a Midgar alley)
I still canāt get over gighee being in the game at all. A frankenbowiehorse with a guitar for a tail. I have no memory of fighting it, so the first time I remember seeing it was on the wiki, with all the info in one placeā¦ That was an experience.

Ha ha no I meant he feeds Apps on his ex-brides!
(Of the many annoying things in the Remake, one that really stands out (I canāt say it is THE most annoying thing because my opinion keeps changing) is Leslieās backstory. He and his girlfriend (from the Turks sidenovel, I think her name is Marle or Marla) love each other dearly, yet for some reason she has to become Corneoās bride; this is never explained. Then she vanishes. He, Cornoās number one henchman, is completely passive through this entire event, and Corneo, the criminal mastermind of Wall Market, never thinks that maybe itās a bad idea to fuck, marry and kill the beloved woman of his right hand man. In a game that has some really stupid back stories, this oneās the stupidest. Anyway whatshername obviously doesnāt die since she reappears post Meteor. I like to think she joined the Sahagin tribe living in the sewers and became their queen)
Maybe I should make a special thread for things that annoyed me about the Remake? There are so many!!

Oh haha as misunderstandings go this is one of my faves! My brain took the long route.
I could understand that Leslie thing if it were an intentional āknow your placeā sort of move and the Don was known for mindgames, but sounds like they didnāt give it that much thoughtā¦
I was gonna say go for it; I canāt bring myself to play it. Love hearing about the stupider details second-hand, though, so will happily grab the popcorn.
Yessss
