Do you think Elena is still gonna show up at Icicle Inn and punch Cloud? What if it gets cut? 😭
I don't know really. There's the fact that her motive to personally chase him is gone & we kinda already got the punch/roll down the cliff as a her boss battle mechanic. And Cloud is now completely unhinged too. Him letting her punch him wouldn't make sense knowing Sephiroth's influence is so strong that he almost offed her in the temple.
My hopes tho is that they'll change this & make her the Turks (and maybe Rude & Reno as well) who accompany Rufus in the Northern Cave.
They set her up as someone curious, someone who was actually excited at the idea of finding the promised land, who might ultimately wants answers about what's going on behind-the scenes but also the fact she's worried about Rufus stunts. There's also the fact she's the last Turks you see in Rebirth before you switch to Rufus.
Her deciding to "redeem" herself by personnally following Rufus to the Northern Cave might work better in the context of part 3.
And tbh, I don't care much if it gets cut (it's not important to her & just undercut her character) & if it is replaced by something that doesn't make more disservice to her character but enhanced it instead.
