I've been replaying the Mass Effect games over the past couple of weeks. Finished ME1 last week, and I've just finished ME2 last night. And now it's ME3's turn. Sucks that I can't play all the story-driven DLCs for ME2 & 3, though. I don't have enough points to unlock the ones I want via...

I remember that the quote saying that the only time Cloud smiled/laughed in the game was when he was talking to Aerith in the slums was what triggered the whole obsession with Cloud's smile and who he smiles at. (IIRC, wasn't his smile to her one of those points on that old love scoresheet that...

I think what eleamaya meant was that if Cloud did not tell Aerith the truth about Zack's disappearance (thus leaving her to think that Zack had abandoned her for another woman) just so he can hook up with her, then that would make him a douchebag.

OT, but... I would thank your post a hundred times if I could, just for this. I really sometimes find myself perplexed by the persistent confusion between 'lightning' and 'lightening'.

Or both of them without Cloud. I'd still see Cloud feeling majorly guilty over his inability to help Zack in his final moments. And Tifa would still be dealing with her guilt over the deaths caused by her actions in AVALANCH.

Perhaps it was the strengths of his delusions that have allowed him to continue as if nothing was wrong. I mean, as far as Cloud was concerned, his back story made sense. It may even be that he wasn't aware that he was having the whiteouts, or if he was, he might have reasoned some of it away as...

I think Cloud's guilt is what he was mainly referring to. Take away Sephiroth and Geostigma, and we'd still see Cloud having to deal with his helplessness in preventing Aerith's and Zack's deaths, the roles he might have played in both their demises, and his weakness of spirit that allowed...

I thought Cloud had been staying with Tifa for, like, a couple of months before the game had even started.

Must be due to all the pants-wearing she does in their relationship.

Wow, that certainly was comprehensive. I tip my hat to you, Tres, and all who had contributed to the analysis. I can't believe I read the whole thing. Well, most of it; I started skipping forward when it got down to listing and displaying each and every handhold in the series. I noted some...

Nothing very elaborate. It was just someone on gamefaqs claiming that Tifa, a martial artist, was too much of a thug for Cloud to ever deign to fall in love with, especially when compared to Aerith, a magic-user.

Everything goes around in cycles. We're bound to find old arguments being rerun. Myself, I keep waiting for the day when 'thuggish Tifa' makes a reappearance.

At least this current discussion has gotten me to look back on the FF7 game script. From what I've seen in the game dialogues, the de-douching of Cloud's behaviour began even before he falls into the church. We even have Wedge remarking on how he's starting to see Cloud differently from as...

So after everything that's happened in the Compilation, the storylines, and the character development -- most particularly Tifa's and Cloud's -- what you actually came away with is that Tifa is a selfish person who repeatedly inserts herself in Cloud's business, unwanted? What does that make...

I watched it yesterday. Fun movie, predictable, and not very taxing on the brain. Great action sequences, and the jaeger designs are really neat. Run of the mill characters and character arcs. I was disappointed that there wasn't much on the jaeger teams from anywhere other than the US. I...

I signed up earlier this week during their NoDRM sale and automatically got 11 free games :D

I'd also thought that this might be similar to how Tifa, Marlene, and Kadaj have been able to sense Aerith in ACC.

If I understand the spirit (hah!) of the argument correctly, Clerith can never be in the past because Aerith, despite being dead, lives on in Cloud.
