I always appreciate reading your thoughts on the LTD bc you kind of sum up how I feel a lot of the time--just in the reverse. I don't tend to talk about it much bc... idk there's no point and very few people would appreciate the nuance I feel about these characters and ships tbh. Still, I do...

They could honestly just make it playable DLC tbh. It doesn't need to be a movie, just as long as it overwrites ACC lol

Hamaguchi said it would be a dream come true to remake it, so I'm definitely hoping it happens 😭

I don't know if I can compromise but it's not like I get a choice anyway ... 🥲 Yeah, exactly. They're finally going to cover it within the scope of the OG itself so.... can we replace ACC with something else? Maybe? Please?? Let's wipe it out of canon, besties!! Woooo lmaooo it can stay for...

You and I are on the same wavelength there, my friend. CHEERS!!

Right? It drives me nuts lol and I bet it drives Nojima nuts too. As for chronology.... I had the same thought but since the devs claim RT is the same as OG maybe it'll be more like... CC - OG - ACC - DOC ↳ - RT - ???

Absolutely and I wholeheartedly agree w/ you. The issue with OTWTAS and ACC, as many people have pointed out before me, is that it's basically a redo of Cloud's arc in condensed format w/ bad execution. While there's nothing wrong with Cloud having to re-learn that he's not alone/doesn't have...

YES TO EVERYTHING. The twitter discourse, which I was apart of bc I'll stand ten toes down on criticizing Cloud (AND BARRET) in CoT and ACC, drove me insane because everyone missed the point. I know why Cloud left. I know why he shut Tifa out. I know that he thought he was doing what was was...

Exactly! I've said it so many times but I'm sick of the fandom woobifying him. He doesn't need to be defended or protected. Yes, he has his reasons for doing certain things and acting a certain way but that doesn't mean he's justified in doing so. And the narrative never justifies it, so it's...

What a lot of people (aka Cloud stans) dont understand is that the game is showing you how flawed of a person he is. You're not supposed to be on his side when he chooses to be rude to Aerith, shut Tifa out/question her existence, callously brush Yuffie's trauma off, insult Zack, etc. Like these...

Yeah, Cloud specifically tells Sephiroth to "return" the village to him before he kills him in the reactor in CC, at least. So it doesn't seem that he's traumatized by the village or the people in it. If anything, he secretly loves his village. He's just a grumpy lil kid who didn't want to share...

Yeah, precisely. They think it's admirable and they encourage Tifa to be just like Claudia too. They have a lot of sympathy for the fact that she lost her husband on the mountain and had to raise Cloud alone. They seemed to rally around her and support her, not ostracize her. But a loooot of the...

Yes, that. And they seem to have this idea that Brian and the people of Nibelheim are prejudiced against the Strifes in general. I've heard this so much that even I just accepted it for a long time but when I actually went looking for proof.... there's none and if anything Nojima only debunked...

Reminds me that I've been having some frustrating convos with people on twitter lately about Tifa, Brian, and Nibelheim in general. There seems to be this pervasive thought of the characters and story that expands beyond actual canon. I guess it's just well accepted fanon that's existed over the...

The Dirge of Cerberus character sheet/guide also describes Zack and Aerith as Cloud's "best friends" who sacrificed their lives for him. I would assume 'best friends' is translated from the same 'Taisetsunahito' term. The chances of Aerith NOT being playable to some degree in part 3 seem very...
