Advent Children was a product of it's time, but also of it's medium. People try to gleam so much, too much, from a 100 minute movie that had to first and foremost introduce a brand new plot for a long established story - and somehow make it credible - and, secondly, have enough action scenes to...

Actually, the social media intern who did that blog did a similar one in 2019 and had Zack/Aerith listed, but ended up getting serious harassment on Twitter from Cleriths which no doubt led to Final Fantasy VII being left out entirely on the most recent one you linked. Somewhat tangentially...

It's Purim today, I'm drunk, got lots on my mind and feeling like typing it out here so please indulge me. So to start, I have to ask, why is Crisis Core Reunion a thing? Oh one can definitely say it's a cash grab, the original game was beloved and remains a massive nostalgia trap for many...

Nevertheless, in Rebirth, Aerith tells Cloud straight up she still loves Zack. No ambiguity or beating around the bush, a straight "Do you still love Zack?" - "Yes." One cannot suggest otherwise, even if one wants to say she has feelings for Cloud, because she was not separated from Zack by...

I mean, it's about the quality over the quantity. Max is a FGC guy at heart and Final Fantasy fan second, who has built a massive core of people who would listen to him read a phone book. Joe Gamer will tune in, watch him stream and see the obvious, yeah Cloud loves Tifa, doesn't get more overt...

The Sector 5 date is strange and depressing by design. One can't ignore the sequence is painted on the easel of Aerith and Zack's date. Aerith has been trying to recreate that romance with Cloud from the beginning, there's parallels in almost every scene they share and she's doggedly stuck by...

The same side who can watch all the Gold Saucer dates and enjoy the entirety of the game until now. It just blows my mind that there is a group of people who unironically admit to ignoring large swathes of the games because they run counter to what they want to believe, yet these same people...

Obviously takes like these are exceedingly unhinged and betray a deeper, fundamental problem with Cleriths, vis, they are willing to throw anyone or anything - the characters, the narrative, the devs and more - under a bus to protect their ship. But wow, I'd love to focus on this last little...

I think a lot of it comes down to what love in the Witcher is, I genuinely don't think it can be equated to other media lol. And, yeah, the perfect example is Geralt telling Fringilla he "kinda" loves her. What does that even mean in this world though? Yen does it too as at one point she's...

That and, you know, Geralt sleeps with basically everyone and confesses he loves other women in the novels too. As a character, he - and Yen too for that matter - have been shown to be pretty loose, to put it lightly. I'm not excusing CDPR creating the Triss thing, she's different enough (and I...

I'm preaching to the choir a bit, I realise, but I just have to weigh in on the latest LTD deception doing the rounds: "all dates are equal, no romance is canon, you can pick who you like and it's part of the story and by design" I can't stress enough how this talking point is actually a...

Well that guy was right about one thing, at least; They sure do.

Yo this is actually wild, but I can believe it because it fits right on in with the modus operandi of some Cleriths who eschew actual source material in favour of "that looks nice so it must be true". Pairing Zack and Tifa is particularly egrigous because firstly it's a not-so-subtle attempt to...

I don't get it, why aren't more people talking about this? Like, anywhere? Aerith still loves Zack, straight from the horse's mouth and it's canon. This whole scene is such a game changer in the LTD that I don't even know where to begin. The kiss is, rightfully, seen as the most defining and...

Hi and welcome! I'm not the biggest Tifa fan - or a CT fan per se - but I think, like many here, I can appreciate the game for what it is and Tifa, for what she is, within that. Tifa, I can't stress this enough, is the central protagonist's love interest, that's her role in the narrative. She's...

It's particularly egregious because they insist that Aerith can and should move on from Zack, gotta look forward and not back, he's the past now, etc etc. so like, why can't Cloud - a 21 year old guy who has undeniably been shown to be attracted to Tifa - not move on, look forward and not back...

If she only cared about getting with Cloud then the game would be vastly different. She wouldn't outright tell him she still loves Zack, she wouldn't question her feelings so openly before the end and, ultimately, it would all be an open betrayal of her friendship with Tifa who she knows has...

I mean, let's not dance around the heart of the matter: CA is an assassination on the characters, plot and ultimately vision of the creators of Final Fantasy VII. Shipping is absolutely harmless, don't get me wrong, but this ship itself is particularly egregious because it destroys so many...

Hear, hear! Croix and Mir are the gold standard of gaming romances IMO, the build up, the ups and downs, then the final payoff. So unbelievably beautiful and I can't not cry at the song. Perfection. So nice to see someone else who appreciates these games and characters, cause I feel like we're...

Zack is just a great guy, entirely wholesome and a real, legitimate hero in every sense of the word. I've always thought he must be one of the most hardest to dislike people in the franchise, but wow lately I've been shocked by some of the rhetoric coming out of CA circles. Saying they hate him...
