I haven't seen all of Zack's scenes (I want to save something to actually experience in my playthrough), but the ones I happened to see involved Aerith one way or another. Even when I absolutely do not believe for a second that they're doing all this build-up with him just to let him down at...

You're absolutely correct! Teasing is a much better way to explain it. It's just Aerith doing what she likes to do the most, lol. Yeah, I do agree that is definitely less conclusive in Japanese. But I do wonder why they decided to translate it that way, not that I don't trust your translation...

Personally, I always interpret these moments as cute banter between them. 😅 Aerith is just obnoxiously flirtatious at times, it's part of her character. She even calls her and Tifa's quest a 'date,' so it's pretty much her just being herself. Honestly, that makes the Sector 5 dream date even...

I always find these songs sooo hard to interpret and connect with the actual story :sweatsmile: People extensively discussed "Hollow" in the past, debating whether it was about Zack, Aerith, or Cloud losing himself, only for it to be connected to Zack in Rebirth (whihc, imo, doesn't disprove...

Make @Axiom my words because true, lol. Tbh, this is also something that has changed with Remake/Rebirth. OG Cloud!Soldier persona was somewhat more collected and cold, keeping more his distance. Probably, much of this was due to technological constraints at that time. Remake's Soldier!Cloud...

I read on twitter/X that if this happens you get CloudxCid/Cait/Vincent date :tearsofjoy: Not sure if it's true, but if it is you in for a ride because their date is hilarius

Amazing post @AncientGrimoire! Couldn't agree more! This reminded me of an answer Cloud's VA gave about this very same topic due to shipwars in his post lol

I do agree it will never truly die for the shippers, both sides included. However, I'm speaking more about making things clearer for the wider audience that still sees FFVII romance as open to interpretation since they aren't aware of even half of the information we got with the compilation...

Come to think of it, this dream sequence is much more LTD-killing than the . We never had a similar scene in the OG, so when Aerith died, we didn't know where her feelings stood or how Cloud felt about her before the Lifestream scene happened. It was left for interpretation, which resulted in...

Pretty much this! Cloud is clueless as ever there. This isn't him confessing or friendzoning Aerith at all, but rather him being completely oblivious to what Aerith was trying to do there and acting/responding to her flirtatious nature like he always did. But the point is exactly this: he is...

But I agreed with you that it is less direct than in JP :sweatsmile:, however, the result remains the same in the end i.e. Aerith reaches the same conclusion, and Cloud is clueless as ever. I would even add that, if you interpret it within the context of the other cutscenes, and now that we...

I don't think it does, tbh. Even though the EN version differs from the JP line and is less direct as a result, and let's say you also add the dialogue change between HA/LA into the mix, it ultimately doesn't affect the conclusion that Aerith reaches in the end, as @Hix explained very well in...

Don't pay too much attention to what these people are saying. At the end of the day, they just don't like Aerith and will look for anything to make her look bad. Yeah, Aerith has flaws, but so do Tifa, Cloud, and the rest of the team. It doesn't make them terrible, it makes them interesting and...

I disagree a little bit with what you said about the 'nakama' line here :sweatsmile:: Anyways, I don't like analysing things before I have the full picture. Doing that by cutscenes alone doesn't feel right. I can't wait to have my copy delivered already!!! :excited:

You hit the nail on the head here. Catering to both sides, even to a minimal extent, isn't necessarily a problem and occurs in almost every LT in fiction. The issue arises when it's applied within the context of FFVII and its fandom because of its long history with this LTD. It becomes...

Yeah, I do agree with you and with what you said earlier as well, but, as I mentioned, it's just a pet peeve of mine when SE does this. I guess it's because of my long history with the LTD debate (8+ years on this forum alone), and knowing very well where this scene will lead in terms of...

Yeah, I'm not bothered per se with this scene, and it's visually a very beautiful one. But things like this, I guess, just bring to the surface my worst fear i.e SE choosing to be ambiguous and cater to all sides in the end. And this is something I can't stand anymore :sweatsmile: Even tho I...
