While reading a post by
amandaw about BC I got attacked by another plotbunny that has been haunting the back of my head since at least the first time I went through North Corel in the game.
Now I don't know if I've seen all the details about North Corel and how it got destroyed by Shin-Ra so I don't know how far off-base this is.
The idea is this:
Information is uncovered that reveals the reactor explosion that precipitated the retributive firebombing of North Corel was not an accident, but the deliberate doing of the old AVALANCHE.
Yes, it sounds simple but if anyone was willing to write a story about Barret it would be very interesting. I mean here's a simple coal miner who got his home town destroyed, his wife killed and a close friend apparently killed though later discovered to have gone homicidal, and his arm injured to the point where he had to have it amputated - only to join the terrorist organisation who was secretly at fault for causing the whole mess.
It'd be all the more interesting if a couple of the Old!Avalanchers - ones directly involved with the Corel explosion - were still alive, possibly trying to reserect the group because they misguidedly want to destroy the struggling Shin-Ra (which in turn would make for one hell of a moral dilemna for Barret if he hasn't put aside all of his Shin-Ra grudge).
But like I said, this'd need someone willing to write Barret and really get into his head and explore the differences between BC!Avalanche, Barret's Avalanche (as in Barret, Biggs, Wedge, Jesse and Tifa) and Cloud's Avalanche (the ones who chased, fought and defeated Sephiroth).
