I don't really see it but think alot of people draw parallels between Leslie and Evan with Cloud? Leslie = reunion flower, looking for, not giving up on, reuniting with someone you love, Tifa's quest line etc Evan = Adopting a kid with Kyrie, Cloud essentially saying his situation is the same...

1) Verbal acknowledgement from Cloud that he actually does love Tifa. It might seem a given at this point, that he does bear romantic feelings for her, but just let the player hear this once and for all, I'm tired of the goal posts being moved for Cloud/Tifa year after year. I know they'll...

Is weird cos Zidane and Tidus do the "ladies man" schtick aka flirt, hit on other women, put on Casanova act but shown to want to emotionally support / be protective of only the main love interest but no one writes essays about that shit

I don't entirely trust streamer women to be open with their relationships, because their fanbase can be...kinda deranged?

Zack is golden retriever boyfriend Cloud is "I can change him"

I think there are many ways to work around the "words are not the only way" but still have a firm acknowledgement of Cloud's feelings, that are plot relevant and true to character Some off the top of head examples: - Squall monologue when Rinoa is comatose that he's already fallen for her, but...

Dissidia is weird in that the Cloud characterisation is still the AC one where he's all emo and mopey, so don't expect too much there. And after he takes on Sephiroth to protect Tifa, he's like "I'll go take on Chaos to stop this whole cycle of war from repeating itself, so Tifa can be he...

I guess if we want to be charitable to Cloud he does help her rebuild her bar so she has some semblance of normal life. It is implied that if she's ever in trouble , he'd still rush to her rescue. If you take the expanded compilation i.e. Dissidia he'd still do stupid things like take on a God...

I've always said if Tifa was a real life girlfriend of mine at the peak of AC, I'd take her out to a nice restaurant, open a bottle of wine and be "baby girl, I know you and him have so much history, but you're beautiful and hot and strong can do so much better than this guy who clearly has...

As i got older and got over the "AC looks cool", I despised his characterization in AC. Let's not romanticise the "I want to give up and die to be with Aerith in the afterlife" but just how genuinely awful can a person be to stonewall then ghost a person who only wants to help and love you AND...

I'm hoping the extremists will be bored waiting on p3, and find something else to focus their energies on. The fake feminism, fake "women need to be independent from men, so Tifa should decenter Cloud and live her life as strong independent woman", "Aerith needs to live because its a story...

I don't want anymore baity, LTD crap in part 3. I don't want will she be dead or will she not be dead, or is he dead or is he not dead bs, will Cloud save her from death or nah, speculation. I just want them to lean into full nostalgia about handling this behemoth of a project, this labour of...

Welcome! But.... No. I don't want her back alive for the same reason I don't want Joel, or Brok, or Rost or Varl or Joshua, or Aerith, or Jessie, or Biggs or Wedge or Zack alive or other infamous video game deaths to be reversed. They served their purpose. The problem with people who want a...

@LunarTarotGirl That's interesting. What do you feel about Cloud's reciprocity/or perceived lack of reciprocity through out Rebirth? Did the scenes you get satisfy you? Didn't align to what you imagined the narrative to be? Don't mind me, but I'm so used to twitter where if Cloud blinks 3.5x in...

I didn't see it in podcasts because I don't follow gaming podcasts, but there were a slew of at least 5-10 articles from various media reviewing "best dates of FFVII rebirth" and I'm pretty sure Tifa came up tops in most of them. Even if the reviewers don't see her as "best" or that Aerith's...

NGL, Aerith's character in Rebirth is legitimately the reason why I've been putting off playing the game - I've spoiled myself on most plot points but I just find the whole writing of two women pursuing the same man but ~ we're are just soooo besties <3 <3 <3 ~ extremely unbelievable, and it's...

You don't even have to look at anime. The final fantasy series already has many childhood romances. See Clive/ Jill, Cecil/Rosa. Everything is context. And furthermore doesn't the Nojima/Nomura trope say - "The transfer student that makes a big impact/impression but leaves" and "is the childhood...

I really thought a kiss would settle it. And I thought Aerith taking herself out of the equation by "knowing where she stands" would also settle it but its clear "sexy spiritual entanglements" are still on the cards to some I'm gonna have to say the only way the hardcore Clerith prophets would...

Back in the day, we used to say "man, if only Square Enix would give Cloud and Tifa a kiss. That level of explicity would be the final nail in the coffin for sure" Good times

I dunno, I thought 70/30 was a pretty clear majority? I'm always pleasantly surprised at how far ahead Tifa is above Aerith. Not because I think someone should "win", but more "phew, i have normal media literacy and comprehension skills - similar to most" It feels like on twitter or reddit or...
