I haven't posted on TLS in years and haven't been interested in the LTD for decades AND I normally don't have the attention span for long essays, but you've written a gem here. It mirrors what I feel is wrong with Aerith's arc. I'd kinda discussed in convos with other gamer friends, but you've...

Haha, Cloud's thinking, "she goes out for one night in that damn dress and look what happens!"

Yes, these Ultimanias are so redundant. :) Spelling out the bloomin' obvious! What we want, nay, NEED is an ultimania explaining how good Tifa is as a nurse. Did she scrub Cloud down good every day? Made his little bed and fluffed up the cushions on his wheelchair? Or was she a NAUGHTY NURSE??!

Uh uh uh. No she wasn't. She "woke up in the morning, goes to work, do martial art training, shower, sleep and repeat". Very boring. And as you'll recall, very similar to my uni life with all the wrestling training! :P(without the healthcare debt)

How did I miss this before? Obviously written by someone burnt out from the AoT/SnK fandom! Lol. Haha, my thoughts too. A subtle point I'll raise is that this is Tifa thinking back and processing her feelings from her past, when she was growing up and losing her childhood securities. To me...

Thanks for pulling all that together, @Edley. Much appreciated by the lazy and Twitter-shy people (like me)! I'm glad they went with the in-game narrative instead of a stand alone dramatization of Tifa's past. In fact, I'm glad they didn't over-dramatize it. Period. I was afraid there would be...

Ahhh right. Good find. So it IS meant to fit into the main narrative, as Tifa's pov telling of her past. I was confused because the translations are all written in third person pov. Two pasts, then Cloud tells his version at Kalm and everybody goes, "wtf!"

Hi @Katrak, I definitely remember you from long ago! I used to have the username Frying Pan on various forums. I don't post much now, rather just keep an eye on the interesting things that pop up from time to time in the FF world.

You know the funniest thing, I never even gave a second thought to Tifa's looks for years after the OG. They were all just blocks to me! When I eventually started reading online stuff about FF7, there were the usual "boobs!" discussions, but again I thought her exaggerated proportions were...

Is that really a problem specific to Cloud and Tifa though? As I was saying before, their problems will probably be very familiar to anyone who has moved in with a domestic partner, who have had to learn to communicate and work through frustrations with each other! That's perhaps why Nojima was...

I never saw anything ambiguous when I originally played the game. But the internet has, over the years, opened my eyes to how wrong (oh so very wrong) I was! :O Even the domestic troubles portrayed in CoT and AC remind me of, you know.... marriage. :monster:

Interesting....that scene being a fake memory does make sense to me. I'd always wondered why young cloud chose to ignore and annoy Tifa at that point in Remake. My take on it is: The fake memory is consistent with his Soldier persona because he represses the painful memories of wanting to be...

@Kifye Thank you for your thoughtful discussion, especially since English isn't your first language. I'm not sure where you disagree with me though. From what you wrote, you seem to agree, not disagree. For example, you said: Isn't that exactly what I said? At the start of AC, their poor...

"I really need you to take this to Mordor for me"?

Completely agree. What you described above would be a contrived melodrama, completely removed from reality. I mean, I've seen and heard plenty of strange and complicated relationships in real life, but never ever as contrived as a man and a woman who care so much about each other, move in...

Hi @insanehobbit , good to see you around again. That is a big ass essay. Not sure I'll read every word, but can you just say "25,000" again with a Dr Evil sneer? :)

20 mins into the OG and Cloud could already tease Tifa about sleeping beside her. Similar in a way to the "Beautiful" remark in 7R. Funnily in the OG, Cloud got more shy/embarrassed around Tifa the more he became himself and the more their true feelings for each other surfaced, compared to the...

Hahaha. "Received orthopedic sexy red underwear" @Graymouse and @iamhorde Thanks for keeping us entertained and for catching us up on the latest news.

Sharing an oldie from Crisis Core (timestamped at 3m30s). Poor Cloud getting hauled back to town incognito by Tifa after getting hurt trying to protect her. Haven't seen this in years and still worth a chuckle. Especially in light of their interactions and banter from Remake. I mean seriously...

My humble opinion is that you're being duped into reacting to a bit of shitstirring. All in good fun though!
