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

    I mean you say "with a protagonist where memory, identity and past connection to the heroine is at the forefront" but that IS FF7. FF7 is a game about Cloud's identity, his screwed up memories, and his connection to Tifa is the key to all that. As for giving a CA style romance it's own game, in...

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

    They have made Cloud's feelings for Tifa much clearer and easier to see much earlier. Remember that FF7 is partly a mystery for the new players, and we are not yet to the point of the reveal. You're keeping an eye on the shell game to find the pretty lady right now while FF7 has been...

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

    I would take the word of the man who wrote the lyrics over the singer, no offense to Loren. But it absolutely doesn't change anything. We are winding up with the same post-FF7 world as we always were, the stops along the way there might be in a different order or with different emphasis, but...

    Tifa character design seems to be inspired by Misao Aoyama from a famous visual novel of the early 90s

    If the other heroes and quests of SaGa mapped to FF stories much at all, you might have something, but honestly, it's probably just a coincidence, given the other quests reference spy movies, cop drama, tokusatsu heroes, Utena, etc.

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

    I think it's more a matter of "Cloud, be open with your feelings and honest with Tifa" I think Aerith can see Cloud has feelings for Tifa, Tifa has feelings for Cloud, and neither of them realize the other's feelings yet. For her own partknowing this and still doing what she does, she's...

    Yeah, the JP line comes across as Aerith upset on Tifa's behalf for Cloud not giving the gift with enough thoughfulness behind it.

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

    I don't think it's about him missing the mark on being a cool guy, but that he has a part of himself that's excited just about getting to be there for Tifa that gets too excited and he forgets himself. He's not a jackass, he's just incredibly awkward around his crush while trying to be there for...

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

    Yeah, the "like a one night stand" is about Cloud getting way too excited about this and squeezing too hard in said excitement. IIRC the Japanese phrase is "midnight mistake" and it's about letting your feelings get out of control and you do something you aren't ready for yet, but don't exactly...

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

    Tifa should be Rinoa. Aerith works very well as either Quisitis or Edea. Missing the obvious trick that Aerith is Lightning, Cloud is Snow, Tifa is Serah. Yuffie can be Hope because boomerang.

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

    Yep. You still watch her die, but since the event flag that removes her from the party isn't tripped, you can bring Aerith to watch herself die. Honestly it would make for a pretty surreal fanfic. "FF7 but it's being speedrun but the characters are aware it's being speedrun." I'm curious how...

    FFVII: Ever Crisis Announced

    So this will never happen because FF2 is forever the unloved child of the series, but if they did an FF2 collab, this is how I think it should go. Cloud- Firion Tifa - Maria Barret - Guy Aerith- Minwu the white mage. Yes, Minwu's a dude, but he's the first named white mage in the series, he's...

    FFVII: Ever Crisis Announced

    I can't say they won't do it, but they'd be dumbasses to do that, especially given how similar the motion capture artist made their movements. I can confirm, there are plenty of dumbasses saying/ begging that Aerith replace Tifa in the Lifestream and under the highwind. I mean, we do have a...

    FFVII: Ever Crisis Announced

    Oh, yeah, some are definitely more protags than others, but as you've pointed out, there's five characters who get significant focus and each of them has a turn at being the POV playable character for a stretch of the story, and that was the design philosophy of 6, as opposed to 7. I mean...

    FFVII: Ever Crisis Announced

    Not... Cid? But yes, the Highwind boys matching is the more obvious answer. If they give Tifa an FFIV monk inspired fit, give her his daughter Ursula. Her look would be amazing on Tifa. Or a design that combines the two thematically, somehow. One side dark one side light. As an aside, that...

    FFVII: Ever Crisis Announced

    So, if they do an FFIV collab, that's where there's a perfect place to give Tifa a heroine collab outfit. Aerith and Rydia are built from the same mold, essentially, as both are last of their kind daughters of a race of people that speak to the creatures that live deep within the planet itself/...

    I have zero expectation that any of my suggestions would be implemented, I just know they're good ones.

    I say he should have been Kefka, but they're using Kefka in the event. Cloud works for Celes in terms of role more than Locke, but in terms of attitude, he's Shadow. I think they phoned the outfit in, personally. It's extremely basic and lacks a lot of his additional touches. More love for...

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

    It's not the idea that someone might misunderstand that on first viewing. It's the pigheaded obstinance to continue insisting on it in spite of the evidence that I'm talking about. The fandom made a mistake and they're refusing to admit it. That's not on SE at this point.

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

    It is not on SE that some people are fucking stupid. I encountered someone- today- who thinks Cloud and Tifa run an orphanage in Advent Children because he didn't understand that when Rufus talks about Cloud taking care of orphans, he means Denzel and Marlene. This fandom is full of people who...

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

    In the case of Itadaki Street, the claims that the game "canonized" CA were literally based entirely on the fact that the two walk together in the opening sequence. The in game banter between the two mostly revolves around Tifa. Aerith gets flirty with a DQ8 character instead. But yeah, a lot...
