... Speaking of weapons! Vin's boots. Kiraya: ...are a little creepy. Very, um. Pointy. Bard Linn: We decided it must be Hojo's fault. Kiraya: But then again, isn't everything? Bard Linn: Cause that's rule 1 of Final Fantasy VII: It's Hojo's fault. Kiraya: Exactly. >D Bard Linn: I can see Hojo attempting to put together the MOST ridiculous looking thing to dress Vin in.
Actually I believe you are not that far from the mark. The boots and the claw match after all. I don't really know if it's canon, fanon or a fic interpretation of the facts, but it had to do with Hojo constant mental torture of his 'subjects'. the Claw was to make him a monster as it cannot be removed or exchanged for a more human like prosthetic thing Like the Barret one in AC. It had some Lucretia implications too. You know how Hojo likes degrading people under his scalpel.
By the way I love your fic.
