It depends on the context. When hardcore CA shippers say the CT kiss is fan service, they are insinuating that the devs created the scene for the sole purpose of placating shippers. It's lowkey an insult to the devs and the characters involved. Good writing is part of a cohesive vision, no...

Didn't Hojo enter the mako Internet after he died?

I think it's a little bit of both. SE isn't dastardly, more like careless. And I don't think anything can be done to prevent the hardcore shippers from feeling baited in the end. At this point, FFVII lore is like the Bible. There's enough material there, distributed over multiple decades and...

This is the sort of thing I'm talking about. It's likely someone told Loren Alred the song was about the CA relationship, which is why she said this in interviews. Similar with Uematsu. But then Nojima gets on Twitter months later and says the song is about everyone. This makes it look like...

You don't need to be a shipper to see that those initial english titles were horribly translated. When CA shippers claim SE "back-pedals" it's like they want the obvious mistake to be declared canon.

@Eerie, we've had this conversation before. Perception is what matters. Most people, even neutral shippers look at these songs as CA songs. If the writer of the song has to intervene to tell people what the song is actually about, and CA shippers respond by saying he's "back-pedalling", well...

This is what worries me about how part 3 handles the ending. If it goes the way of the OG, I don't know how people are going to react. A lot of the hardcore CA shippers are going to feel like they were baited/burned, and to a degree, I think they would be correct. The theme songs to Remake...

So, to get back on topic of the LTD, how about that "Childhood pal" fiasco? :monster:

It's funny how a lot of people don't know this. Just that the handling is inconsistent.

What's even weirder is that when Zack is running over to rescue Aerith at the beginning, the Shinra security officers say they're looking for a "soldier with a buster sword", which means there was already a version of Cloud present before Zack and this Cloud got there. So, did another Zack drag...

I think you're reading too much into Sephiroth's comment. At the beginning of Rebirth, we see Zack rescue Aerith from the helicopter crash and the white materia falls out of her hair. The directing of the cutscene focuses on the materia, indicating its importance. Zack takes both Cloud and...

How do you know this?

So here's a question that has nothing to do with the LTD. I understand that the ultimate purpose of the dream date is for Aerith to give the white materia to Cloud. But the world they wake up in is the Chihuahua-verse. At the beginning of Rebirth, when Zack rescues Aerith from the...

What made that scene particularly emotional for me was just how oblivious Cloud is. This Aerith has already died/knows she will die. Cloud doesn't suspect a thing. So when Aerith says, "I really like you" I always get chills. The delivery of that line is phenomenal. But juxtaposed with...

First of all, I liked your entire post. However, I do think it's the writer's intention for the player to wonder exactly what Cloud means to Aerith in this moment. Otherwise, they wouldn't have had Aerith say the "Liking or liking" line. The player's going to wonder if her feelings are...

This is pretty much what I'm talking about. But, referring to my previous post, we need to learn Beagle-Aerith's feelings before the end. The Aerith in the dream date was from the future(maybe), therefore we don't know our Aerith's feelings. That's why the dream date is kind of a fake-out (at...

Given that Cloud thinks Aerith is still alive, I think the real closure is coming in part 3. There's still things unresolved between them. Makes you wonder what the point of the dream date is.

100% The idea of multiple Aeriths casts a shadow over the entire CA relationship. The two versions we see act different. Cloud even points this out, "Why are you acting so weird? This isn't you." They might as well be different people. So when Dream Aerith confesses her feelings, it isn't...

I might be repeating myself, but I don't think they should have had the dream date to begin with. If Cloud and Aerith need to bond, they should bond over learning the Cetra history, or what the White materia is (We still have no extended backstory on that). Instead they focus on a stillborn...

Maybe a hot take, but I don't think Cloud and Aerith needed closure. Aerith's death is meant to be incredibly sudden and tragic. Foreshadowing it with all these ominous dream-like moments just drags it out and lessens the impact. In the OG, Aerith dying without closure and in a way that...
