I do ultimately think it's an overall failure of media literacy to read things this way (viewing Tifa as the 2nd choice or not his true love or however you want to phrase it), and I don't know if this is the case in general, but I can at least understand coming away from AC, especially...

I rewatched the OG Lifestream sequence last night and it made me cry it's so good!! Honestly if I shipped a couple and then saw one half of the ship go through a mind-meld-esque sequence where another woman helps him rediscover his true self and assures him that he was the hero she always saw...

I think one of the things I'm most interested to see how they play out is the fact that compared while Cloud's primary issue in the OG heading into where we are now was one of self-identity and doubting if he was real vs. a created Sephiroth clone, now we have, seemingly, two separate issues to...

I used to be a Seiftis shipper :huh::D Rinoa was never my favorite of the FF8 gang, though I agree I think she grows on you. Both of these are incredible ship names...I'm partial to Dude :D

This is why Rude and Dio is the most romantic couple in this game :)

Yeah, it doesn't seem like there's a lot of Squinoa/Clerith crossover is there? You'd think there would be. (I'm not really involved in FF8 fandom lol).

When I say Omni!Aerith, what I mean is "an Aerith who has the full White Materia, which contains her memories, or knowledge, of the events that transpired in the original game and potentially ACC, as well as confers upon her some degree of Lifestream manipulation/Cetra powers/whatever." This is...

To be clear, I still think every other narrative indication, as well as developer statements and et. al, are leading to a pretty clean Zerith reunion, I just find this specific aspect and lack of communication on her part kind of strange. I'm pretty similar, though I honestly consider to be...

First, Hix, great post. Still, there is one thing about Rebirth that still bothers me and I think it relates to this idea and Omni-Aerith's (that's what I'mm calling the Aerith that has the WM memories) behavior in general...

I think this will still happen, and I want it to happen too (well, I want to see it, I don't want to see Tifa devastated lol) but I do think Tifa will probably actively seek out Dr. Sheiran...after he tells her that there isn't really anything he can do she'll choose to stay, though. It's a...

I think this specific dichotomy sort of makes sense, especially depending on which specific canon materials you consume...my partner has never played the OG and only watched AC, so they really didn't like Cloud. Also, this is obviously part of the rug-pull, but I can understand being more...

I have some sympathy for fans of a ship who perceived the work to fully support the canonicity of their ship, but then had that taken away. That doesn't excuse poor behavior, of course, but it's generally easier to be a fan of something that has textual and/or popular support. Ideally you can...

Thanks for the correction, I'm not too good with the actual numbers. Yeah, I guess I personally have a tough time perceiving the passage of time (in Rebirth and also the OG specifically) in the games, I know there is an actual timeline for it though. Like in the actual experience of playing...

Yeah...I'm kind of trying to find the angle that justifies it the best. I think in the other languages it just comes off pretty harsh where maybe they intended for it to be more of her gently teasing at Cloud. Regardless, I think it was a scene where that dialogue option just misses the mark of...

Zack says クラウド、エアリスを-- he gets cut off, basically, but he's basically in the middle of asking Cloud to do [something] for Aerith, though the verb in his sentence gets cut off (that's what the を signifies). It's pretty clear I think that he's asking Cloud to save or take care of Aerith though...

My true actual shipping take is that all three should dispense of their comphet delusions and become a cottagecore lesbian throuple in Gongaga. One of the weird things about the ending sequence... IDK what tagging policy is on Rebirth spoilers, sorry. Also sorry for double post but I...

I'm necroing old replies again because I'm slow :'( I think overall her tone in the JP is a little softer and more teasing? It goes more like this: Aerith: I saw that flower at Seventh Heaven. Though, I'm sure it was Tifa who put it there. Cloud: Hmm. I don't remember / I'm not sure who did...

I'm not sure if this is selling me on playing Ever Crisis or not, LOL. That's a sweet moment, though. Maybe I'll be able to find it on Youtube.
