    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    So, against my better judgement I went dumpster-diving on twitter the other day, and saw someone point out that in Rebirth Aerith's "everyone is waiting" is the same thing Tifa says in the original LS scene. Now, this person was using it as evidence that the line belongs to Aerith now and they...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    That's what most of the shipping war comes down to for me at this point. I'm not gonna say I'm not shipper-brained with a personal investment in CT and ZA, but the main reason I feel so strongly about them being endgame is just because pivoting away from it last-second would be an incredibly...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    I totally get that and I hope I didn't come off as too dismissive of that feeling. I do recognize that I'm in a very different position here not having had to deal with that bullshit for years. It's much easier for me to want them to just focus on telling a good story when I've only been here a...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    I'd prefer ambiguous in this particular situation not because I don't want Clerith to win, but because at this point there is so much set up for ZA and CT that brushing them both off would almost have to be poorly written. Much as I want this part of the ship war to end, good storytelling should...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    I haven't gotten the Aerith and Yuffie dates yet since I'm still catching up and they're underpowered atm, but I was kinda surprised at how hard the Tifa one went. It's hard to do anything more than we already got in Rebirth but Cloud being the one to almost confess but lose his nerve really is...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    One of the most vital aspects of her character and her role in the story is that she's the key to finding Real!Cloud. Through the Lifestream in the OG, but also in the little moments she's brought him out in the remakes as Null said. To say she's only into Soldier!Cloud is just a willful...

    Oh yeah Im gonna need lots of stuff witht the same energy as him freaking out about steering a submarine, giving Yuffie pointers about dealing with motion sickness and deciding how cool he should try to sound when talking to Tifa. I need the concept of emo boy Cloud erased from the public...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    I feel like it'll be the former. In the OG I didn't get the impression he felt too disconnected from the time he spent with Avalanche, and now that it's a trilogy it's hard to picture him having that view of two entire games, especially with the focus on bonding time and how much more his real...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Obsessed with the implication that the first 15% of development is somehow so important that any character and relationship added after that is irrelevant to the story. Also I'm genuinely surprised at how many people are arguing real!Cloud isn't a different person. Isn't that like a really...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    I think at a certain point you also have to acknowledge that ACC is a pretty basic action movie functioning as a sequel to a popular videogame. The main hero having some kind of flaw that negatively impacts his relationship with his love interest and/or family leaving him at a low point before...

    Well, I never said he didn't screw up majorly. It's totally fair if you can't find yourself liking him or the relationship after that. It's just that I personally am not one to dismiss an entire relationship by actions taken at it's lowest point, but everyone has different standards there. I...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    That's very true!! It definitely feels intentional that one of those quests leads into the other. Cloud obviously cares about Aerith but he's clearly more comfortable in his interactions with Tifa, as well as more willing to take the initiative.

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Toxic feels like a bit too strong a word to describe it to me. I'm not denying that they habe their problem but for two heavily traumatized people in their early 20's under a lot of pressure I think they actually do pretty okay. FF7 is more interested in exploring real stuff over fairytales...

    Zerith is the main couple of a whole game and arguably the B couple of the remake trilogy. Sure there's always gonna be some Cloti shippers that only support it because it removes Aerith as competition, but it's weird to assume that's the onl or even main reason why it's loved. It's not really...

    It's absolutely valid to feel some level of cynicism going forward, especially if you find yourself unhappy with developments so far, but I'm not sure how productive that is when it comes to theorizing. Just speaking for myself personally if I didn't trust SE to deliver on what they set up, and...

    We went from complaining about how having to pretend the love triangle is up in the air keeps you from being able to properly speculating about the rest of the story to just speculating about the rest of the story it seems. Yeah, my lack of experience with those types of games probably was a...

    They could always just merge the two and place the submarine at Fort Condor or somewhere else entirely. no reason it has to be in Junon specifically. If they can come up with a totally seperate introduction for Cid and the Tiny Bronco then doing something different for just a vehicle doesn't...

    Oh yeah, I'm definitely in favor of including Corel still. I think every character should have a place where the chapter can focus on them in fact. I just had to mention it because in the original it wasn't really utilized in that way, it was just another stop.
