I’m not either, but it didn’t take too much digging before I just went “ah, so that’s why the LS sequence goes the way it does. Neat.” Basically breaks the idea of “the self” into 4 pieces and how you need to find balance and accept these pieces to become a fully functional self. Accepting...

I’m starting to believe that Nojima sending people down the rabbit hole of Carl Jung was a clever troll on his part because I can tell some people are getting way too tangled in it.

Just reminds me of the brilliantly subtle way FF7’s story lies by omission. You’re made to think Cloud is just like the little kids you see throughout the early game, dreaming of being SOLDIER and heroes for the sake of being heroes. The LS scene is where you learn that Cloud wanted be a hero to...

Yeah, that’s a strange parallel to make considering the details. Also, it’s not like Seifer was actively fighting to get back to Rinoa and died doing so about… a couple days ago? Before Squall meets Rinoa? It breaks down pretty easy to mild scrutiny. Cloud remembering Zack is crucial because it...

That’s what I get for rewriting something and not proofreading it lol how embarrassing Her being Aerith. Doesn’t make much sense for Aerith to say that line potentially twice, but I do find it interesting that she says it at the close of, what I’ve come to understand, her own LS sequence, in...

Kinda throwaway, but that actually says the opposite imo. Why say it twice in two scenes that are so similar? If anything, it indicates the end of her LS scene, not Cloud’s.

People arguing over Cloud’s mental state and I’m wondering if some people forget that Jenova itself removes this from a discussion about basic psychology. It’s Final Fantasy where real world issues don’t exactly translate 1:1. So yes, the fact that part of Zack is in some way, shape, or form...

It’s definitely a standout, and I’ve seen people calling out oddities with Tifa and Yuffie’s trials ( for different reasons obviously but both have implications ) I think Aerith’s dream date may hint that places that hold strong, cherished memories between two people may act as a nexus point...

And this is perhaps the better way to look at all this. None of them will change the course of the story or offer crucial new insight. The MSQ is where eyes should focus. What changes, what doesn’t, etc…

It’s a phrase that’s certainly a sweet thing to say to someone, so I’d hope CA fans would enjoy it. It’s typically used as a reason why someone may have feelings for the other person, but like most things concerning Cloud, his mental state should be considered. I certainly don’t think he means...

He’s such kitbashed personality, it’s no wonder Cloud’s so creepy when he’s under mind control, or when he almost reverts to someone way more childlike. Feels like you see layers of it peeled back.

Well, it’s not just Zack in his head, we know that, and if Jenova is ultimately marching to Sephiroth’s tune, perhaps Sephiroth had Jenova filter the memories of the Genesis conversation? The Kalm flashback is an interesting oddity with this new approach, because you can see Cloud’s mind...

Fingers crossed they stick the landing. I can already smell the terrible takes on him, but hopefully a majority see through it. As for SOLDIERCloud being a different person… I’m curious how far they’ll take that idea in part 3. Will it be a simple personality and memory correction, or will they...

I said it on a thread discussing her use of the word, but at the end of the day these are characters in a story and characters in a story people claim is a good story. You know what good stories have? Conflict, tension, some sort of hurdle to overcome. That’s what gives it meaning, a chance to...

PR Talk and not spoiling the work in question since that subject is woven into the bigger reveals of the story. Even if I don’t agree with the choice, it’s also why Cloud is depicted the way he is outside of FF7. His true self is a dead giveaway that something is seriously wrong at the...

Only thing I’ll add is that while dev comments and VA thoughts are good to know, the work itself stands on its own. If it doesn’t, then the problem is that the work isn’t well made in the first place and that’s the core issue. Cloud’s wavering only occurs during the part of the game where you...

Nothing can really be said to diminish any cynicism about how the LS scene will be treated. At this point, it just boils down to how much you trust SE, or if you like the idea of shoving Aerith’s death into a sequence with a different tone and goal in mind. Certainly something they could do...

Tbf I could see them moving Zack’s death reveal somewhere else, only because it was an optional thing in Nibelheim with no real reason to go back there. Unless they give us a reason to go back. I could see them moving it around the return to Midgar, after you confront Diamond Weapon since it...

I absolutely believe the LS scene will get expanded because half of the equation got expansions: Zack and Tifa. ToTP basically gives Tifa’s perspective on their childhood years, expanding on more of her internal perspective during the time covered in the LS scene from Cloud’s internal pov. The...

All the discourse around the LS scene got me thinking until something hit me right between the eyes: we never see how Cloud’s mom dies. In Remake, Sephiroth describes stabbing her, but all we see is Cloud’s house burning behind him. He quotes her dying words, which seemed odd in the moment but...
