It's statistically more likely for everyone in a given group to be straight/ in hetero relationships, just because there's a far greater population segment that's straight/ bi as opposed to gay so the chances are just higher. Even in groups that are not majority 'straight.' Also Comphet is...

Ah, people using Buzzwords willy nilly. Honestly, heteronormative and comp-het get way overused, even in vaguely correct contexts.

Was it Cali? That's one of hers, IIRC. I mean, we are talking about the people who tried to argue Tifa was "such a sweetheart" or that for her Koibito meant "one who loved" Bad Faith interpretations are the name of the game. Rival Orphanages, anyone?

I think the key word there is 'primarily' as the romance is an undercurrent for most of it, to be sure. I mean, you aren't limited to just one romantic scene per game. FF16 had several. Honestly? Nah, I don't think the AV had much of anything to do with it. The romantic moments in prior FF...

I'm not saying Cloud and Tifa are not driven by their romantic love for each other, because they obviously are from years before the game starts. What I am saying is that Cloud's romantic feelings aren't a factor to how Tifa acts and vice versa. She acts the way she does because she genuinely...

To clarify my statements, the feelings are romantic, but the sequence itself works without relying on that romance because, well, neither side is yet sure about the other's romantic feelings. Tifa isn't using Cloud's romantic feelings and desire to get her attention as a carrot because she...

The romance arises as a consequence of the sequence, not as a prerequisite for it, though there is a prerequisite of the level of trust and intimacy involved in Tifa calling out for Cloud and him instinctually pulling her in to protect her, leading to her being able to help fix him. No, the...

Hold up a minute there, other Tim. It's not codependence for Tifa to learn Cloud definitely has feelings for her while she acts as a guide for him putting himself back together. This will sound odd initially, but Tifa's emotions re: Cloud are a non factor to the primary purpose of the...

I mean the final of the Lifestream sequence is Cloud merging back with himself and he and Tifa floating together to the real world holding hands. But no, verifying Cloud's humanity with the Nibelheim incident itself doesn't work. That needs to come after Cloud has been logically and emotionally...

The 8 year old event isn't brought up explicitly, but his inner voice does bring up "back then we just got by with scraped knees" after his fall into the church. The bridge fall in the nibelheim incident involves a very different- IIRC the same bridge?- as the 8 year old event, which is not...

There's a bridge collapse in the OG as well, it just happens differently.

I wonder if the fact that he doesn't remember the star will actually prove that he's real... because he was looking away, at Tifa, when it shot down. What I mean is, knowing that it's the real Cloud is important, and knowing he was at Nibelheim, that he came when Tifa was in trouble is...

I say it's just a part because it on its own isn't enough to fully restore Cloud. It proves he's real, absolutely, but it isn't the part that helps him coalesce, even in OG. I think we're going to see the water tower promise be even more crucial to events this time around, given the narrative...

The Mt. Nibel recollection was just one part of things. The water tower is the core moment that finally cracks things wide open, and they specifically made changes to retrilogy so Cloud remembers that, remembers his promise long before Tifa brings it up. There might be some changes to the LS...

Sephiroth is the new mind of the Jenova cells. Whatever brain it might have still had in Nibelheim has decidedly been overridden by Sephiroth by the time of the events of the game. Sephiroth's desire for fragments of Jenova is decidedly more utilitarian than emotional. It's why he's willing to...

Jenova doesn't want much of anything, given it's braindead and just reacts to the will of its hosts and follows the reunion instinct. This explains twofold why your worries aren't terribly founded. In the case of Cloud's persona and untouched memories, Cloud himself wanted to create a persona...

You suspect that Sephiroth killed her as she shielded Cloud?

After ToTP and the fact that Tifa was helping Claudia in it just before Cloud's arrival- and especially that Claudia learned that Cloud had told only Tifa about his plan to join SOLDIER in the same conversation - I also am sure it was Tifa she was referring to in specific, but trying to be...

Yuffie's -also cheaty IIRC- cheek smooch is there to show that Cloud and Tifa is something more, something you discretion pan away from.

Well, yes and no. They models make contact, but they also go into each other's heads a bit, which is hidden by the usual angle the kiss is shown from. That's another way to cheat.. 3D animation is fucking fascinating and also hilarious when you peel back just a little bit. Like Mirabelle's...
