It’s head: Reeve Tuesti.įinal Fantasy : 15 Fan Theories So Crazy They Might Be True The World Regenesis Organization is a volunteer organization whose primary objective is to help restore and protect the Planet. Rufus may be World Regenesis Organization’s main benefactor. Tifa speculated Reeve stayed in Shinra and tolerating their inhumane nature because it gave him enough power to do some good by reducing some of the damage caused by Shinra. Reeve hates Scarlet, most likely because of her ruthless and inhumane personality. This sense of empathy is reflected in what little is shown about his family he is close to his parents. Unlike many of the Shinra executives, Reeve shows sincere concern for Midgar citizens, and eventually, the Planet itself. However, Cloud is unwilling to help Rufus.īut if this theory sounds familiar, it’s that it projects Reeves Tuesti’s entire character arc on Rufus. Renouncing his past cruelty, Rufus explains the near-death experience opened his eyes to the truth and he now desires to undo the chaos his company brought into the world.

Rufus wants to have the two publicly executed to help calm the panic from the looming Meteor. Unlike his father, however, Rufus uses fear to control people, playing on their suspicions of AVALANCHE and Sephiroth to manipulate them.ĪVALANCHE execution was to ironically quiet the fears of the public. Like his father, Rufus’s main goals are to control the world through the Shinra Company and increase the company’s power. Rufus seems to have no love for his father, and schemes to overthrow him on the seat of power. For most of the game, Rufus was bent on power at all cost: In fact, his main concern was keeping Shinra in operation. There’s no reason to waste money on them. A little fear will control the minds of the common people. It takes too much to do it like my old man. If a terrorist attack, the Shinra army will help you. The population thought that Shinra would protect them. I’ll let you hear my new appointment speech….Old man tried to control the world with money.
