Yeah, drop the story of DoC, let me fight the bosses with the whole party, and toss in Omega as an optional boss and call it a day.

Yeah, it just opens up for bad takes, and I’m not entirely sure it was necessary to do so… unless the goal really is to show that Cloud’s more aloof personality just doesn’t match to what Aerith is really looking for. Even then, ehh maybe I’ll appreciate it more in retrospect. Just let my man...

Maybe the ending changes. I’ve always found the line between the planet doing what it wants and Aerith doing her thing to be blurry. One does not tell the planet what to do, you petition it, which is the main power of a Cetra from my understanding. If the white materia can only be activated by...

Well, you’d have to make a decision, does the scene of Tifa finding Cloud count since it chronologically happens first, or do you figure out a different reason for Cloud to… oh wait… he’d be a vegetable still. Hmm

I mean, in terms of Cloud’s character arc, Aerith doesn’t really apply that much… which is because Tifa exists… because she was made to be the heroine that stays by his side until the end. I feel like I’m looking at 4-piece jigsaw puzzle here

You know what, screw it. Someone do the edit lol I gotta see it, because it’d still be weird just how much Aerith brings up Tifa when it’s just her and Cloud if you don’t show Cloud and Tifa scenes.

Thank you! Now I remember. They can also kick your ass if you’re not careful, so save often lol Looping it to Remake, you can encounter 3rd class SOLDIERs in the parking garage of the Shinra Building, and it’s a great place to farm levels. This also backs up what Cloud says to Barret that if...

So that’s why Cid stopped smoking. Wouldn’t want to ignite the room between flights. If you have to break out the measuring tools, then that’s your first sign that you’re willfully denying the easiest and simplest answer to a question that’s been answered for nearly 30 years. Cloud’s feelings...

I think you can run into them rarely in the Shinra building as well? I’m trying to remember where you can steal a sword for Cloud during that segment. As for your Twitter thread… May fortune be in your favor

Anime/manga brainrot. I’m a fan of the stuff, but I also have the maturity to acknowledge it gives me the most surface level of surface level of insight into Japanese culture. I always took it as a joke for just how slooooow romance can progress in manga, but some people may take it beyond meme...

If they don’t lace fingers, then it’s not true love… Let’s be honest though, I’m a simple man. A hug and a kiss and I’m grinning until it hurts.

Considering how many people either overtly or subtly operate under the impression that Tifa is Cloud’s second choice ( despite all the narrative evidence and logic dictating that to be ridiculous ), I’m not hopeful that people will understand that “it was Zack all along” I’m also not sure how I...

I’m just not sure how much time ZA will get is my fear. SE loves the drama of the pursuit but seems to struggle with the pay off imo Cloud has so much screen time with Aerith that I wouldn’t blame someone for not being sold on ZA if all they get is being told they’re right for eachother vs...

Eh I do kinda see where @abzy1200 is coming from though. Even a casual player immediately associates Aerith, Tifa, and Cloud as the romantic subplot which is why Zack is so often forgotten about or downplayed because he’s barely shown in the original game. That’s very different now of course...

Yeah, looking back at her resolution scene, I can see it as a setup for her conflict in Rebirth, especially since they took away any foreknowledge she had leaving Midgar. Makes me suspect the planet may have revoked her memories to keep her on track so she’ll “stick to the plan” but she gets...

Dio and Andrea just won’t let Cloud rest me thinks. Considering how weird his dreams are, I don’t blame Cloud for burning the midnight oil to keep the Loveless ticket sales flowing.

“All the dates are optional but the one I ship is real because reasons” is a comical way to think. Also, I genuinely think some people believe a story can only have one hero, one heroine, and an antagonist is the same as a villain. These words, they keep using them. I don’t think they mean what...

The weird endings to Remake and Rebirth absolutely play a role in making it hard to distinguish reality from spiritual/dream spaces and I do think it’s deliberate for design reasons and story reasons. I think they knew that they had a tough choice to make with the weirder aspects of FF7’s...

My only stance on it is that if you’re going to make me sit through a long goodbye sequence… please don’t immediately go back on it. Otherwise I think the work suffers as a complete story because you have this middle section that goes on two scenes too long in that case. Something about that...

And it’d be such a weird fumble to make because I assumed all three games are supposed to work as one story when held up together. If it’s not goodbye, then why burn that much time on it when you could’ve avoided all the drama by just sticking as close to a 1:1 retelling of her death without...
