Because that ' s how they test for rabies and how you need to send samples to the lab , apparently . <| sep |> Cool ! Good alternative to the classic pomodoro kitchen <| sep |> Dang you beat me to it <| sep |> Is that polish jesus ? <| sep |> Yeah , it ' s down for me as well <| sep |> Tokyo is pretty damn clean for a city its size <| sep |> I had no intention of ignoring any of what you said , nor did I ever explicitly state that it is required to play rebirth 3 to follow VII ' s story at all . What I ' m getting at is that there are , as you and uCaohs mentioned , s Croire and Big Neptune that tie into two games . As such , moments when they occasionally come up , there is , not always , some plot point related to them and rebirth 3 that will be lost . That ' s it . That ' s inevitable . And everything else you mentioned , I agree with , but that was not what I was remotely even referring to . Don ' t put words in my mouth . And don ' t try and make my statement part of some binary yes or no answer to OP ' s question . I was elaborating on what rebirth 3 is in relation to VII . Nothing more .
