I wonder if Tifa was tempted to make a comment to Cloud when they did the sidequest to look for Betty's cats. If you insert the Jaws theme over this, it completely changes the tone of the first half of this animation :P

Likely a bit of both? The details in the novella can be dark, frustrating, and difficult to read. So when they empathise with the character, they'll feel emotional about it. Although sometimes the expression of these emotions can be a little over the top, but that's the way it is online. We...

Knowing how difficult her struggles were in Midgar also makes the plate drop on Sector 7 hit me even harder now. Devastating enough to lose Nibelheim and everyone she'd ever known, but having to start all over again from rock bottom, building up a new life and community, only to witness the...

Oh, okay. That does make more sense than them blurting out their life stories right off the bat :lol:

Reading through some more of the translated summaries on twitter. So TOTP basically starts as Tifa and Aerith get to telling each other of their respective pasts right after they've left Midgar. The fact that Tifa's practically spilling out her feelings for Cloud to Aerith makes me feel...

From reading the various reactions to the new novel, it does seem like some members of the FF7 fandom are going through a version of the grieving process. Anyway, I guess the creators will keep on making things explicit for the rest of the remake? I'm kinda hoping that they do, so that the...

It's kind of amusing that this book really doesn't beat around the bush. In the past, so much of the story was all about subtlety, the ol' "the answers are all there if you pay attention" type of approach. But after 24 years and having to endure so many bad takes caused by either inattention or...

I think all this new info will at least wipe out a bunch of mischaracterisations, especially those about Tifa, that came out from the dodgy translations in the past. It's undeniable now that Tifa was never a childhood bully, she never ignored Cloud, and the promise between them was never about...

Indigo Gaming's been making a documentary about the cyberpunk genre, from its origins, common themes and tropes, and the developments it's undergone throughout decades of fictional works in the genre across all types of media. Planned as a four-part documentary, they've currently released the...

You know, I just remembered that during those duels, Jin's use of his ghost gadgets and abilities are limited. So, yeah, I think I get what you mean now about the game forcing you into playing fair. Odd that I didn't recall that earlier, cos I remember thinking back then that it was BS that I...

I think what Jin realised was that slavishly insisting on honour as Lord Shimura did against an overwhelming horde of enemies that didn't care about it just meant that Shimura and his smaller but more honourable army were going to die in vain. Shimura'd probably think that they died with the...

This is a great shot! Editing to avoid double posting:

I though it was pretty clear in the OG that though Cloud was real, he was mentally someone else. I definitely recall lots of Ultimania books describing him as having formed a false personality with the Jenova cells in him -- that false persona being slapped together out of the things he'd seen...

Caislean Oir (Clannad) Cofee & Roses (Thea Gilmore)

I wonder if the remake will try to depict the internal effects of Cloud's missing time later, once he's regained his true self. Like, some indications to show how fresh the loss of his mother and village still is with him. I recently saw a couple of screenshots where in the OG at the Cosmo...

Cloud wants to get close Tifa, but at the same time he doesn't know how to and/or lacks the confidence to do it. He learns from and then mimics Zack and Barret to give her the flower and the hug. I wonder if this false memory is also using the parts of Tifa's recollections of Cloud that Jenova...

Even from the original FFVII, I never ever took their childhood relationship to be one where Tifa was completely unaware of Cloud; some of the lines she'd had about Cloud gave me the impression that she had noticed him in some way and that they'd probably interacted with each other from time to...

Yeah, I'd love to know more about Tifa's time in Midgar before FF7 begins. I wonder how far back the novel would go? I wonder if it'll touch on what it was like for her to wake up in a completely different continent, finding herself lost in a huge, teeming city after having spent her entire life...

Even if we don't get a scene where one character outright says to the other, "I love you", I feel that Cloud and Tifa as depicted in COT and ACC are unmistakably in a committed, romantic relationship. Living under the same roof, sharing a room/bed, working in and supporting each other's...
