My most vivid memory from my first playthrough was Aeris's Death - because my mother completely ruined it for me. Like a lot of parents she was always tolerant of mine and my little sister's geekery, but never really shared in it; we were obsessed with this game, so she knew all of the...

...but imagine how fucking creepy they could make the parts where Sephiroth's controlling Cloud. I MEAN. If they cared. I would almost suffer the retcons if they did a good job of that. It's HAD endings, though. FFVII, though open to interpretation, has a definite ending. Advent Children also...

Man, now I wanna go dig up Frank Verderosa's Internet Series again. ...it never really struck me BACK IN THE DAY how strange it was to refer to any fic as "THE internet series," as though it were the sole option for sequel headcanon. 懐かしい～ (...he shipped...

Thirding hito and Tres. I've only ever seen デート used to refer to an actual date.

That's one thing I think the Compilation consistently fails at, is sound choices. The original game is so thoughtful with music - and lack thereof. I can think of tons of places where the sounds in the original game made a big impact on me (Aeris's death is the most obvious but there are so many...

Ugh I had almost forgotten that. I actually enjoyed Crisis Core quite a bit, Genesis notwithstanding, and the end of it, the way they work the game mechanics into it, it's so well-done and it's fucking heartbreaking and I was bawling like a little bitch and then that fucking song started. I...

I don't think it's Square's remake capabilities people are doubting so much as their ability to remake FFVII, mostly because the Compilation has shown that the people currently in charge of the canon...well, they treat it like a Rubik's cube, but instead of solving the Rubik's cube, they just...

Fair 'nough. And bing itself is always worth picking on.

Okay so, I've never played the game. I would really welcome the chance for more translation practice, though, so I'm willing to take a chunk of pages, with the same disclaimer hito gave - I don't know the canon. ...buuuut I do actually have a used copy sitting on my shelf here. So that could...

Not to be a killjoy, but isn't making fun of the Bing screenshot thing kind of...unnecessary, since it's clearly something a few people are just amused by and not being trotted out as actual evidence? ...if it is actually being given as "evidence" somewhere I retract this comment, carry on.

Y’know? I think more than anything else, it’s arguments like this that really bug me in the LTD. If you remove romance from FFVII's plot, you know what's still true? Aeris is still the last of the Ancients. Aeris still summons Holy. Aeris still dies at Sephiroth's hands trying to save the world...

Post it to tumblr! LET THE WAR BEGIN ANEW, haha... If you want to use my translation you can, or if you or anyone else would like to re-translate that is also fine. If you want to use mine tho, I'd like to polish it just a little bit if that's okay. I think so, though with what hito said in the...

I was all like "Imma go to bed, lemme just peek at TLS one more time" and...well, here is my very quick attempt - please pick apart at will! :joy: The Gold Saucer, the world’s largest amusement park, run by its macho director, Dio. Cloud’s group visited this place many times between...

I don't see why Cloud saying "Let's hope so" doesn't qualify. Why would he hope so if he had no intent on pursuing? (I have more thoughts on this but they are long and rambling and I need to sort them into coherent order first.)

Ryu, I don't think it weakens the CloTi argument to acknowledge that Cloud might've had feelings for Aeris. I mean - we have the creators' statement that he was oblivious to the ladies' feelings for him. It would've been very easy for them to also point out that he DIDN'T have feelings for...

^How I read canon anyway, although I'm not really seeing why the four-year-old's point of view somehow lends more credence to Clerith's existence.

This is why I can't join forums anymore; I can't even keep up with one thread SIGH...

Heheh. I was hoping somebody would ask. :) From what I read in the earlier pages I'm gonna get some shit for this, because it doesn't look like Tres and hito agree with me on this one but AHWELL. I didn't take 幼い to be a reference to Cloud's youth, but rather to the immaturity of...

Ahhhhh yup. I should've known that. Thank you for the explanation. :D I'm fully expecting to be jumped on for the non-literal stuff. Debating whether it is worth the shitstorm to go and post this, er, elsewhere.

:salute: "Young Cloud's isolation from his peers caused him to set himself apart from them even in his mind. He was a rebellious child. The only one who was important to him was Tifa - faint stirrings of love are revealed in the Lifestream." Questions/comments/crit welcome. I tried to do...
