I know it's minor all things considered but the insistence on callinh her Aeris is so funny to me. If you can't even accept that was a mistranslation of course you're not gonna be able to accept the story doesn't fit your initial perception of it

So it seems like Nomura confirmed that the original version of Aerith not only looked like Tifa but actually had a personality more like Tifa's as well. That surprised even me but also leaves even less room for doubt as to who the intended main love interest was.

It's weird because we have things we already know Tifa is an unreliable narrator about, and it's her perception of Cloud as this cool guy that's content to be on his own. They have already adressed this in Rebirth. What she's not unreliable about is her feelings for Cloud, what caused them, and...

Perfectly said. I'm not too well-versed in anime myself, but even with western tropes Clerith is set up hard in disc 1. When I played that I didn't care for the romance, or Cloud as a character for that matter, at all but I still was very convinced the game was setting him up with Aerith. The...

They also seem to be claiming Cloud and Tifa's old water tower represents only the past, while Cloud and Aerith's Shiny new water tower represents the future. You know the one built by Shinra that in-game is called fake instead of new. And where Cloud refuses to sit wherevAerith asks him to...

How we feeling about the anniversary EC wallpaper boys? ngl, I got half a mind to have a look at the cope on the other side

Apologies for being late on the response here. I just don't feel like avoiding scenes between two major characters that do in canon mean a lot to each other should be avoided just because they could be interpreted as romantic. If they stick to their guns and make clear CT and ZA are endgame I...

Hate to be a stick in the mud here, but having some level of ambiguity about a character's feelings about another character at the time of her death isn't inherently a bad thing. Having things left up for viewers interpretation that can be discussed even after a story is over without a definite...

This is a favorite of mine to go back to whenever the fans get too much: Vi's Place Everyone's gonna have a preference but pitting the girls against each other to such a vile extent just goes against everything the games tried to do with them

Amazing how shipping Aerith with one of her actual canon love interests isn't a viable ceasefire option but shipping Tifa with a guy 15 years her senior that she met when she was a minor is. I for one would love for us to stop fighting and just enjoy the existing ships but alas.

I think at this point it's safe to call Cloud Zack Tifa and Aerith the main 4. Wonder if they'll fully commit to the bit and make Zack the "hero that saves the heroine" in part 3 in some way

pre-highwind scene date night I'm speaking it into existence

I could see her keeping it fairly long-term especially if they plan on doing AC stuff. Didn't the movie kind of imply she had something going on already? If they do plan on making that a dlc or game as well, Marlene having some future knowledge could be the thing they use to spice things up.

I see a lot of them still absolutely convinced Aerith will be fine so I think they're still holding out hope for that complete rewrite the devs clearly have no intention of doing

I strongly reccomend watching Yuffie and Cloud's responses to Sonon and Zack back to back. The paralels are strong there.

The Cloud that Aerith meets in Midgar is not yet the Cloud that has made close friends from later in the story. He's on his way there, at least in Remake, but at that point he is still a pretty lonely guy that just won't admit that to himself. And why wouldn't she feel empathy? A similar feeling...

He pretty much spells out in Nibelheim he didn't actually enjoy being alone though. Speaking as an introvert myself there is a big difference between not wanting a lot of friends and not wanting any at all. His isolation was largely his own doing, and he did feel superior to the other boys but...

Oh, I have. Marisha is the main reason it's not surpising hahaha. Of course her husband is a Tifa lover look at her!

Oooh I hadn't seen that! I'm a late arrival and all I saw when I went online was stuff like "see? Aerith is gonna live in part 3 for sure", "wow I can't bekieve they're fucking up their own plot this badly" or "I can't believe squeenix can't even commit to whether or not they want to kill...

The stuff about them insisting Marlene being Barret's daughter takes away from her place in Cloud and Tifa's family is especially funny when you consider how ff7r has been portraying that dynamic. Tifa has almost as much screentime with Marlene as Barret does, Marlene is shown to be one of her...
