It’s also kinda odd. I can see her viewing Cloud as a symbol of all her precious friends. He’s kinda the first one she made, so I can see that being special… but calling him beloved when he’s in a committed relationship in the living world? Just doesn’t read well.

Btw this is why I think the HW scene is shot the way it is, with Tifa facing towards the camera so Cloud can’t see her face. I always took it as her having this knowing look on her face, well aware what Cloud wants to say but still wants him to express it.

Which is why it’s a deliberate choice that Zack's final words to Cloud have yet to be said. I’m thinking it’s the missing piece to that side of things, Cloud taking on his hopes, dreams, and being his living legacy.

It’s annoying because it’s not JUST Cloud’s moment, it’s Tifa’s too. They’ve protected other character’s moments so far ( Aerith’s Death is debatable I guess, but it still hasn’t totally panned out so the jury’s out imo ) so why would they muddy up an important one for the main character and the...

You battle and battle and battle until finally, you realize: I have no enemies And then you watch Cloud kiss Tifa again. I’m staying far away from Twitter because I know it can get wild on there. I’m finding myself less interested in theory/analysis vids because unlike Remake, LT talk is hard...

Context, the most annoying word besides Tifa, Zack, and Nakama

Cloud is no stranger to being hit on and pursued, but he handles those pretty harshly because he usually doesn’t care about the other person, but here you see him handle it when he DOES care about that person, just in a different way. Tifa wouldn’t get this cagey reaction. That’s the face of a...

Any “wrongness” I get from scenes like the dream date and any of Zack’s interludes is likely from the setting vs what actually happens in them. They feel like they shouldn’t exist, and that seems deliberate. How they manage to do that? I have difficulty articulating and that fascinates me.

Gonna echo the same sentiment and add my own perspective. Any negative interpretation of Aerith I may put forward isn’t grounded in me believing she’s intended to be a bad person in the story. If anything, I aim that at the writers and want it to be taken as confusion on how I’m supposed to...

Yeah, but the me that tries to see narrative significance in what reads as weird shipping stuff, I wonder if that’s further commentary on CA being the illusion vs CT being the reality, similar to how CA things were shown to be ZA in truth?

Hmm actually hadn’t thought about it that way. While I do primarily associate star imagery with CT, I wonder if some room had to be made to better massage CC into FF7

Sounds plausible, so I wouldn’t mind it either. I do wonder if they’ll make it clear she’s protecting Tifa or if they’ll add some ambiguity that could also just be the planet keeping an eye out for them in general.

KH as evidence confused me so much for the longest time but because KH2 is about as blatant as it gets, even more so with dev commentary turned on. That and it cracks me up that Tifa looks for Cloud the same way you look for a lost cat.

Unfortunately, yes. I’m curious how many people even care about the LT in general and would’ve preferred it not “return” at all. That’s what I liked about Remake, felt like it hinted at it not being part of the story at all.

I mean she doesn’t know the circumstances, sorry wasn’t clear on that. She may have felt him die, but she doesn't know he died right outside of Midgar on his way to see her. Though I wonder if she felt him after Remake too.

For sure. Though now I’m of the mind that it’ll either be at the very beginning or at the very end. Something tells me it’ll either be a high point immediately followed by a kick to the shin, or something we’ll need to fight for all throughout.

Tbf to Aerith, I don’t think any version of her we see in game is aware of Zack’s fate, what he’s going through, or why. I’m also not sure if she means that purely as a romantic declaration. I think her method of “looking for the real Cloud” is to say something or put him in situations where...

Cloud’s been hit on so much since he showed up in Midgar, I find it hard to believe he has no idea about Aerith to some degree, but his concern for her stress about Zack and guilt over forgetting him/insulting his friend is overriding it. But there’s also her change in personality from Remake...

That’s the main sign, at least in my eyes, that even if there’s something romantic between them, it’s too mixed up in other things. That’s like the third time someone has stumbled into kissing distance of Cloud? His reactions are different every time, but only one character has a unique reaction.

Well, I think they only included it in Rebirth because of the original, but the section part 3 covers doesn’t have that mechanic, so hopefully they just don’t bother and do character quest chains instead for the ultimate weapons and final limits. Or, better yet, weave the rich character moments...
