here's the first 10 pages or so about a story I've been writing that asks the quesiton: What if Aerith and Tifa had met during the events of TOTP when they were both living in Midgar? Just some general feedback is appreciated. Here's the link: Google Docs wird geladen

There's a recent video by the Youtube creator SubTXT about Rebirth's ending, which I think is brilliant. It lays out all the central questions, apprehensions, and possibilities of the Remake trilogy. I agree with the main idea. The characters have talked too much about "changing Fate" for it...

@Ryushikaze So when Zack and Aerith fade away at the end like the Fayth of Zanarkand, how do you think people will react? Personally, I would feel a bit disappointed that this was hyped up only to turn into FFX 2.0.

@Maidenofwar We have to wait till part 3 to see where the alternate world plotline is going. IF it turns out Zack has been dead all this time and that Aerith is as well it will make it seem like SE provoked a lot of speculation as you describe, only to render it completely meaningless in the...

I agree with this assessment, but the problem with most theory-crafters is they think there is some intention of consistency on the part of the developers. You are looking at things from the writer's perspective, which I think is more valid. I'm not one of these fans who expects the writers to...

I've seen some posts suggesting that the reason Elmyra and Marlene show up in the alternate world is that they are dreaming in the real world. Though there is no evidence to back this up. There's too many inconsistencies like this to devise any consistent theory, which is why I am reluctant...

I play in English, so that difference may be a result of the localization.

Sephiroth's explanation and the description from the woman in Cosmo Canyon are at odds. Sephiroth states that "When the rules of Fate are breached, new worlds are born." This makes it look like a Marvel-style multiverse is going on. The woman in Cosmo Canyon talks about her loved one's spirit...

It would be cool if Zack and Cloud realize how Zack died at the same time. I've entertained the idea of parallel life stream scenes for Zack and Cloud. But that would probably complicate things. We don't know how SE is going to incorporate the alternate worlds into the various reveals...

Cloud acknowledges that he has to leave Aerith behind at the end of Rebirth, so I don't think she'll be showing up as a ghost.

I feel like we should always take what any devs say about their own projects with a grain of salt. What stands out to me is this claim of 'equal screen time' between the heroines in the Remake series. I'm curious why they felt they needed to say this, what sort of question was asked. Also...

Part of this has to do with the fact that part 3 of the Remake isn't even out yet. I suspect a lot of opinions will change once that happens. It's hard not to think of a story as a static after you know how it ends.

It think it's projection because the word rebound best applies to the CA relationship anyway, from the way Aerith brings up Zack all the time.

It's interesting that a lot of shippers tend to point out the supposed "rebound" nature of Cloud and Tifa's date, yet they never talk about how Aerith references Zack in a lot of her conversations with Cloud. In their date, Aerith straight up compares Cloud to Zack and talks about their...

It's interesting how much missable stuff became important later. A lot of the Zack scenes were completely missable and later on were expanded in Crisis Core. But now with the Remake, it's not as if they are making the missable events mandatory. They are instead changing all the scenes while...

Even if a particular moment is optional, it's still more canon than if it didn't exist at all.

I agree that Aerith's date is no longer the most narratively important. The Gongaga scene with Cloud and Tifa already introduce's Cloud's identity crisis, and that's non-optional.

Yeah, the original idea of canon was groups of monks making arbitrary decisions about what books of the Bible mattered, mainly for political reasons.

Authors usually don't have the same idea of canonicity or cohesion of story that fan communities do. If they did, we wouldn't have so many non-canon crossover events and games like KH, Dissidia, and EC. Canonicity is a way for fan communities to create a hierarchy of importance in the vain...

Chance and Fate often play off each other in fiction. The best stories that involve prophecies always leave the mystery open as to how it will happen. The 'how' is where chance comes in. If I told a new player that Cloud and Tifa are endgame in the OG (something I would never do), that...
