In the above instance, the issue is the name Johnny is accidentally missing from the text... so you naturally assume it must be another character. Still, the clue should have been there in the way he talks.
There is one part there where he talks about he and cloud having had some history in the past... but i cant understand that, they didnt meet properly really, he just knows him as Tifa's childhood friend. Unless some deleted dialogue from District 7 explains this (although one explanation is that it's just a joke for the gamer.. cloud does say "who the hell are you?" So that would make sense). In any case, this is as good as we could do:
Johnny
“That's right…
Long time no see.
You don't remember me?”{NEW}
“That's cool,I don't wan'
anythin' to do with ya.
I've started a new life here.”{NEW}
“Look,there's a bit of history
between us. No,forget it,
I don't wanna talk about it!”{NEW}
“Man,I wish I could just
change my feelin's on a
whim like you guys!”
and
Johnny
“Fine!”{NEW}
“But yer not gonna like it!
No,forget it,I don't wanna
talk 'bout it!”{NEW}
“Let's just let bygones be
bygones.”
The originals were:
Johnny
“That's right. Long time no see.
Do you remember me?”{NEW}
“That's okay.
We'll just pretend like
we don't know each other.”{NEW}
“I started a new life in this town.”{NEW}
“A lot of things happened to us.
Heh, I better stop my complaining!
I sure envy you all living
out under the stars.”
Johnny
“You think you're good enough to
brag about how big you are?”{NEW}
“I don't wanna hear it!
Heh, no more complaining from me!”{NEW}
“From now on, I'm turning over a new leaf!”
