Either way, though, I think Barret is right about everything he says. Fuck the Shinra Corporation.
Tattoo this on my forehead.
...although I am NOT looking forward to the inevitable point where the narrative drops a big old THIS MAN IS WRONG AND HE DID A BAD anvil on Barret, as much as I love them shining a big ol' spotlight on Tifa's discomfort. On the other hand, none of the good guys know yet that the real cause of the Big Boom was Shinra, maybe that will be a future revelation that will actually bolster Barret's side of the argument?
(also also, Not-Barret Avalanche (above-Plate Avalanche?) is quite clearly an armed, well-trained paramilitary organization, or at least has a paramilitary branch. And I think it's canon that they're being supplied by Wutai, though I've been avoiding Chapter Yuffie spoilers. So what on earth are they doing that ISN'T bombing reactors? What do they need an army FOR if not to do things that are completely comparable to reactor-bombing? Do they just have very weird ideas about what is and is not acceptable terrorism that Barret didn't agree with? ...or, uncomfortable thought, was it just the Wutai connection? Barret does vehemently deny being connected to Wutai before the Airbuster fight in the Remake. Are we in for a revelation that Barret's just racist against Wutai and that's what the schism was really about? I really, really hope not. Please Squenix gods do not make Barret the new Wakka.)
