Well, at this point I think we're talking about personal taste and individual interpretation. I can't possibly say that you are wrong, but I received a different impression, that's all. (Obviously Jessie is a very good-looking woman. However, she wasn't a very successful actress; it took her...

They brought it up because we're following Evan's stream of consciosness and Evan is a typical cishet boy in his late teens who is a bit socially awkward, especially with girls, and always notices certain things about women immediately. It's characterisation. He's very self-conscious about his...

Well, Jessie, Aerith and Tifa have many differences as well as similarities. For one thing, Jessie is older than Tifa. We meet her when she is already almost an adult, or actually an adult. She's street-smart and has a network of friends looking out for her. She's also learnt to play the game...

I suppose it depends on what story you're trying to tell. Given that Nojima is telling the story of a teenage girl's struggle to survive in the dog-eat-dog world of the slums, where her looks are the only thing that give her value in most other people's eyes, it's not surprising to me that he...

For what it's worth, Tifa in TOTP is presented as a teenage girl (only 15 at the start of her ordeal! A child!) from the sticks burdened with a terrible debt as well as the grief and guilt of what happened at Nibelheim, trying to make her way forward in the incredibly predatory world of the...

I respect SE for creating a female character like that and then giving her a whole incredibly well-developed identity and personality beyond her tits. If some fans can't see beyond her curves, that's on them.

So... her fans are guilty of the same attitude as the people of Midgar? It's a bit hard on large-breasted women if they must always be defined by their tits and can never be fully-rounded human beings with hopes and dreams, values and beliefs, griefs and sorrows and adventures. If creators of...

For me I have to say it comes across as the former. After all, we already all know what she looks like.

I made that comment about Aerith having a fight with Tifa to point out how absurd it is to picture Tifa having a big fight with anyone. (In the OG, Aerith handles Barret's grief-stricken depresssion over Corel in a very harsh way. Tifa has her misgivings about Aerith's method, but Aerith quickly...

Maybe Tifa and Aerith will also have a big off-screen fight about the best way to handle Cloud and his identity issues.

I used to be puzzled by that statement of Tifa's - "I feel trapped". Trapped by what, I wondered? If she didn't like what Avalanche was up to, why didn't she just hit the bricks? But TOTP makes it clear (to me anyway) that she feels trapped between her loyalty to her friends (her only...

You guys are reading way more drama into the difference of opinion between Tifa and Jessie than I am. Tifa doesn't seem bothered that Jessie shared it with Cloud: Cloud: I heard you're having second thoughts. Tifa: I know we have to think big if we're going to make a difference. But not like...

Maybe Marle was a Honeybee?? TBH I thought TOTP does a very good job of portraying the constant low-level harassment Tifa has to live with. Maybe we can't even call it harassment, but how she is hardly ever allowed to forget about her body and appearance and the effect it has on other people...

If we get tired of being told how hot every new person thinks Tifa is, imagine how she must feel!

That makes sense to me. :cloudball: I also wonder if the dynamics between Hojo, Lucrecia and Vincent are of greater interest to older, more mature, more experienced writers?

I will read this at the weekend. I'm looking forward to it. It's been furiously busy at work, Parent-Teacher today and tomorrow. One interesting thing I've noticed - writers who focus on Hojo, Lucrecia, Vincent and their relationships are often of a very high calibre. I wonder why? Ah, who knows?

I hope so because I absolutely love Rufus.

You got a ready-made audience right here.

Because they're brothers, of course! All blond blue-eyed men are related, everybody knows that. :nope:

Oh I hope so. For me it would be a dream come true if the Turks and Rufus were at different points temporary playable characters - or even just non-playable guests in the fight, like Red XIII in Part 1. I am so looking forward to the Corneo/Rapps battle on Da Chao. Nojima seems to be a good...
