Yep, so again, its a personal opinion on what is "very romantic" that colors what people see about Aerith / Zack and Cloud Perhaps you might think that when Zack died, he feels he can't take care of Aerith anymore and he'd want her to have someone in her life - and as Cloud's bro, he'd want him...

I dunno if the devs gave it that much thought through lol. In FFIX the Black Mage factory (supplying the whole of Alexandria manufactured super-soldiers) was just lying casually under a windmill with a small chocobo ranch lol

Yep - it's probably why some Clerith cannot see Cloud with Tifa because the feeling of contempt for her as a "fan service with just boobs and no character" is so strong. And why some Clotis can't see Clerith because the squick factor of getting with your bestfriend's (who died to save you) girl...

I've said it in Faith, but essentially shipping is just someone's value system (about love and relationships) becoming the main interpretive lens through which they view two characters. And "shipping' is to experience your own value system, vicariously. If you strongly believe that "love"...

@Strangelove - That's excellent and more than I could ever ask for. What we have earlier in the thread is something like this: I think it's great @aitaikimochi on twitter tried to take a stab at it, but she was definitely on the "push it out as fast as humanly possible" mode which was janky...

So far what I've seen is snippets until page 40, but in barrage of dot points. One self proclaimed Clerith guy is starting from Aerith's chapter. But he's only gotten as far as 2 pages because he's doing it word for word. https://twitter.com/istanleyff7 It seems that one part of the book...

I honestly think the ending scene (that we see in like 20 years from now) is going to flip back to be as per the original concepts - That Cloud says to Tifa they'll go and see what's on "The other side of the mountain" They might add some added text as homage to the people who died, definitely...

I was thinking that people would be happy with Tifa's characterization in the book because for years people have been calling her "NPC" cos she doesn't have a magic-girl-save-the-world role. I was so pleased her background now has a surprisingly modern (by Japanese standards) take on it...and...

Perhaps someone can translate this Japanese fan's take here: https://fusetter.com/tw/Ddqbvzu8 And piecing it together from here: https://twitter.com/MAIScnhyo Marle met Tifa when Marle needed surgery and the doctors from sector 8 showed her Tifa's chest photo during Tifa's surgery. It made...

Yes, but in retrospect, for Tifa's story - there's nothing totally new in terms of content. I'm guessing all of these were already written, and roughly laid out at the concept development stage. To be used as content building up towards the lifestream event. Then after going through editorial...

I don't think so - I think its a fan writing set Post AC, but contains spoilers from ToTP. Spoilers making reference to the letters one of the boys sends Tifa. I think Japanese people are super cautious about infringing copyright laws and won't put up raw pages like that as well. As much as it...

And, I'm totally okay with that, actually. It's actually consistent with the game that he'd started to develop a crush on her, but she died before it could go anywhere. I kinda feel I still would like some of the incredibly whack character bastardizations to be corrected once and for all. Not...

Glad to see some of the old people back! I too had to reset my password lol Where is @JT77fp ! I think this is pretty much why I'm so happy to have these short stories. After so many years of following this story since childhood, with mistranslations / misinterpretations / differing opinions...

or...can this be framed as fans were actually right in their reading of events and characterizations, in line with what the creators wanted? ;)

Reading the link @Eerie posted I was just saying how I was kind of meh meh how the compilation likes to talk about Tifa being pretty for the sake of being pretty, but...she has self awareness about it? And tries to avoid a situation where she's a trophy wife/gf and strives to be...

This was pretty cute :}

Mixed feels about the novel, because usually what they put in the novels are things that don't make it main pieces of media i.e. the game/dlc. For Aerith: Too high hopes, but I like to see how she describes the world / the people around her i.e. the Turks, her friendship with Kyrie, her...

LOL In the OG all I had was their character description for context i.e. Aerith was described as "Beautiful and mysterious" and Tifa was "don't let her looks fool you". But, no one even had a nose in the field models, and Aerith and Sephiroth's praying-mantis-arm-bangs, as well as "boobs!"...

I don't get the logic of this. Why not just have one Aerith outcome, if they wanted to depict canon? Why convolute the narrative by throwing in 2 other scenes, just for "fans". Why not just have Cloud outright imply he's falling for Aerith, and have her be happy that he's coming after her. End...
