    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    It doesn't sound so romantic that "Cloud's" a virus that "Aeris" needs to fix, lmfao. No, wait, it's not even "Aeris" fixing it, it's just the magazine name. That was too funny, lol. Quite different than the majority of CT appearances referencing the promise, right? Welcome! :)

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    I've seen CAs absolutely hate the train roll, lol. I've seen them hate every single CT interaction in the Re-Trilogy and that includes Both Girls, All Ships, and self-proclaimed CTs. They even went so far as to say that they wouldn't accept the CT kiss unless Tifa was Jenova but then did a 180...

    I wonder if anyone's been desperate enough to suggest Kunsel Reference Security Officer for the Lifestream Party Event to undermine Tifa's role, lol? (Just passed that part on my re-watch of Remake.)

    Ah, that's too bad. I thought it was a cute reference to Aerithr's resolution. :(

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    I liked how they implied that all the resolutions happened in Remake; Cloud said "I can feel her calling me", most likely referring to Aerith's Not Our Aerith resolution, Barret got an "apparently, you were loitering in a rather lovely flower garden", and Tifa got to explain the reunion flower...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    I can't say for sure but I kind of doubt it, considering how prevalent foster/adoptive families are in Japanese fairy tales. I'm also not sure if the laws have changed but when it was still illegal, homosexual couples in Japan got married, so to speak, by adopting the other person into the...

    But Tifa's the unimportant side character who's just a plot device to fix Cloud in the Lifestream so he can go on pining after Aerith, lol. And don't you know, Cloud wanted to become SOLDIER to impress Sephiroth. :awesome:

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    I can imagine ZA meeting again overwhelming all else that they don't really need to resolve that? Maybe? Especially since that "she likes Cloud now (because you weren't there)" came from a four-year-old and not Aerith herself so I'm not sure how seriously they need to treat that? If that makes...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    There are always things that writers could do a bit better but I think at this point if people are confused about ZA then it's their fault, lol. Also, just saw the "anatami ai tai" discourse on twitter and I'm just. "Anatami" isn't even a word, lmao. At least make up something believable if...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    I don't think that's the case, though? Re-Trilogy already introduced the "first guy I ever loved" and made it clear it's Zack. Zack's fighting to reunite with Aerith. There was soulmate stuff like feeling each other's touch across worlds. There was the release of Crisis Core. Aerith herself says...

    This bothers me so much in fandom discourse, lol. Like, y'all, the characters aren't real.

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Just to be pedantic, I've been reading this blog that's by a screenwriter and she looks at tv shows/films/pairings from the point of view of chemistry. She wrote that fictional characters don't have chemistry because chemistry is a human phenomenon, how actors onscreen click and feed off each...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Not exactly related to the easter egg, but I was just thinking that the fandom discourse would probably be a lot better if people stopped lying about silly stuff that's easy to verify and instead just enjoyed what is there.

    Ah, okay. Well, it was still more accurate but not as funny as whatever the McDonald's account was doing. :awesome:

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Oh, it's been ages since I saw the anime version of it, lol. I think I very vaguely recall seeing Tanabata in Lovely Complex and Hatoful Boyfriend. Also, to clarify just in case: I didn't mean that Tanabata never features in Japanese media or that it can't be romantic. But mostly when manga...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    This is one of the reasons why I always find it so funny when mostly Western fandom gushes about the romanticism of Tanabata. I mean, sure, the story is about two lovers (who got separated because they didn't do their jobs properly). But as actual dates/holidays in Japan, Christmas is more for...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Considering that Aerith and Cloud are both mimicking Zack's mannerisms and gestures, I wonder if they feel a sort of wistful nostalgia around each other? Cloud more subconsciously than Aerith, I would guess. Lol, I've seen extreme CAs who were absolutely adamant that the kids were carrying...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    That's a good point. But it still feels a bit odd that no one even peripherally mentions him. Even something like "that other SOLDIER" would've been enough for me, lol. But I guess it's possible that the present kids weren't at the orphanage or were too young to remember Zack coming around? As...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Speaking of Zack, lol. After sneaking out of Aerith's house, you can talk to the housemother who, for some reason, is hanging around the Leaf House yard in the middle of the night. She says: "The kids are talking about you like they've found themselves a new hero." So if Cloud is the "new...

    No, don't jinx it! I want to see them outrageously flirting with each other. XD
