I always believe I got the right idea about the game even when I first played it at age 12.
I believe I arrived at the conclusions the developers meant for me to come to:
Cloud and Tifa were childhood friends and shared a bond. Tifa felt deeply for Cloud. A challenger appears (Aerith). Aerith...
Tidus never died. Nor did he have any competition for Yuna's affections. Also, if you don't get the perfect ending, Yuna moves on.
Cloud clearly does not follow this example.
That is remembrance, not romance.
Oh and the rest of the quote:
"When he awakes, there was his friends. There were...
The title is "For the One I Love." Not "the Two," or "the Ones."
Aerith is dead, so that leaves only one other person. Tifa.
Aerith has just been invalidated. :neo:
I've always thought this argument was pretty funny. Given just how emo this guy gets, I'm sure he would have just ended it all if he so desperately wanted to see her. 2 years after the game, he has made no effort to bring himself closer to Aerith and the Promised Land. Instead, he is living...
Yes.
No. This is just a big assumption that Aerith herself doesn't make.
This might be significant if Cloud himself actually sought out this one-on-one time.
I'm in complete agreement. Nothing alike. Rescuing Aerith did not involve cross dressing and being molested by a group of big sweaty...
I'm currently playing Tales of Xillia. I don't like the mechanics and the art style as much as the last Tales game I played (Tales of Graces), but the story and characters are still compelling.
I give you a few feet and you take a mile. Your arguments are compelling, but, as Ryushikaze just said, require a lot of assumptions. You've merely pointed out more of these grey areas to me and got me to agree that there really was potential between them despite the short period in which they...
You've gotten off track. I was disputing your claim that greed is what motivated Cloud in his rescue of Tifa. I had to call you out on it. No need to start with the romantic stuff again.
As to the rest:
It has indeed been debated before. I've read your exchanges in this thread with Ryushikaze...
No, that was not your point. You singled out Tifa as being Cloud's connection to a high ranking member of AVALANCHE and his way of getting paid, which would have been, according to you, his primary motivation for rescuing her.
Come on now, you've said this already.
I don't mean to be hurtful...
Whoa, whoa. I was nodding my head to some of your points for a while, despite being a devout CloTi. I'm capable of being objective. Yet you have clearly crossed a line with that statement.
I got the impression that Cloud was merely trying act like some badass mercenary when it came to the whole...
I love the Tales of games. I got Tales of Xillia just the other day, but I haven't had a chance to play it yet. I might start today.
You might want to look into playing Tales of Graces as well. EXCELLENT game.
I bought FF6 just as it came out on the SNES, so I didn't have a guide. I didn't know about the Moogle Charm that was right behind Mog. I got to the top of the tower the hard way...and then died from the boss casting Ultima. RAGE!
