I remember feeling the exact same way when I played that part of the game. I couldn't believe no one went after Aerith when they knew she was gone. But didn't she leave without telling anyone? I can't remember now; it's been so long since I've played the game.

My word. This thread has practically exploded since I've been away on spring break. :\ I've caught up on the last several pages of discussion, and I feel that a lot of points have already been well addressed by Que and everyone else, but I will weigh in on Tifa's "Do you love me?" question to...

I don't know much about the Phantom of the Opera, but to me it seems like the romantic elements are much more in the forefront than in FF7. I find it more understandable that the fans would constantly argue whether the heroine lives happily ever after with her boyfriend, or spend the rest of her...

That's an excellent point, Sikozu. I've thought about the changes made to that scene from AC to ACC myself, and I truly believe that moving Zack to the end was done so in order to bridge his conversation with Cloud. I don't think the changes necessarily show anything about Cloud's cherishing one...

Oh, you know it, Que! This debate has become an actual mystery tour; no one knows where it’s headed next. We might as well just enjoy the ride!:excited: I really need to reread Case of Tifa, as well; because the last time I thought about the whole bedside conversation, I tried to...

^ This. Without question. Ironically enough, I’ve actually come across the very same thing in another fandom. I can’t say how many facepalm moments I’ve had, from all of the lunacy that sadly goes hand and hand with The Phantom of the Opera. Generally a lot of fans will only...

I agree with Tres about Tifa and the empress thing. I wouldn't put it past SE, in thinking about character designs. Tifa has long been associated with a miniskirt, just as Aerith has been with a long dress. It actually makes sense, stylistically, for Aerith to be the empress and Tifa the...

I agree with Splintered’s analysis of Cloud and Tifa’s relationship within the Compilation, as well as relationships in general. The concept of their relationship being that of an imperfect one, where Cloud and Tifa fail to run, hand in hand, through a field full of sunshine and...

Florence + The Machine [No Light, No Light] I'm actually somewhat tempted to purchase a copy of Ceremonials, if only for this one song. A lovely composition. Just stunning.

I totally agree. Clephiroth is just a drop in a comprehensive ocean of questionable yaoi/slash pairings. It’s sad, but the same thing has happened in the Phantom of the Opera fandom. There are a number of “Phans” who pair Erik (The Phantom) and Raoul together, in spite of them being rivals and...

I can understand your irritation. A similar thing happened to me, back in high school. Some of the guys in my sophomore art class decided to put Johnny Cash's [Ring of Fire] on repeat. For. An. Hour. That song stayed in my head, for I don't know how long after. :\ Suffice it to say that, when I...

For me, pretty much anything sung by Robert Palmer. David Bowie's latest [The Stars] (Are Out Tonight) nearly got into my head yesterday. I was so glad his [Thursday's Child] took over before it could, though. :)

Florence + and the Machine [Blinding] to this beautifully done fanvid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuCoPqHV-eg I simply love how the person who made it matched some of the scenes from the film to the lyrics. I doubt I shall ever look at this song the same way again.

I will agree that romantic elements can, possibly, be argued for Cloud and Aerith on the first disc, even though it’s noted in the 10th Anniversary Ultimania that Cloud is unaware of both Aerith and Tifa’s interest in him during the date at the Gold Saucer. He is sadly that...

^ This without question, since we cannot deny the flower imagery between Firion and Cloud in Dissidia. And, according to the language of flowers in the FF universe, that certainly implies romance between Cloud and Firion. We've certainly reached a higher definition of canon here. :monster:

I agree on the Wiki issue: we already have official sources stating the canonicity of the HAHW scene, so I think we already have a solid answer there. I also believe it’s really for the best if it’s left out of Wikipedia, simply to prevent unnecessary shipping wars on that site. I’ve seen so...

Oh, yes, those fight scenes were definitely impressive, I agree. I especially loved what happened, close to the end, between Vincent and Hojo. Truly epic fight, right there. I'm so glad she decided to finish it, in spite of the Compilation. I also like how she portrayed Rufus, especially at the...

I remember coming across "A Long, Hard Road" years ago. I never really got into it, but one story I did get into was "I Know What's Beneath the Snowfields." God, that story was epic; it kept me up all night, and I still wasn't even halfway finished with it. I remember that Cloud/Tifa were...

I remember those envy.nu sites, as well as some of the others. Oh, the nostalgia, of those bygone days when people made webpages devoted to why they hated a fictional character so badly. Even the great Sephiroth wasn't spared. :sephball: Poor, misunderstood Sephy. Oddly enough, though, a...

Thanks for the advice! I've considered that, too, because it always makes me a tad bit nervous whenever I order from overseas. :scared: My current game plan is to order Rufus through Amazon. I've always had excellent customer service when purchasing anything SE-related from there. So, if that...
