I'm one of those guys who has to spell it "Lockheart"
Sorry everyone! Stupid me and the original game. I know it's wrong, and I'll try but sometimes I can't help it.
And they're all good, but this one makes me laugh. All the shit that's happened to Cloud, and he looks more annoyed here than ever.
Finally, some shameless self-promotion. Here's a fanfic I wrote about the silly conversations Tifa mentions in Caase of Tifa. They aren't great, as I wrote them quickly, but I thought I'd share.
A video game in 4th grade taught me what love is.
A very clear, very succinct article about the Cloud x Tifa relationship, based solely on the original game. I thought it was very good.
It's a bit simplified (missing some of the poignant details of the relationship), but the point it makes is wonderful. The only problem with it is that someone that never played FFVII doesn't just automatically understand the significance of Tifa taking care of coma-Cloud and the real journey through the Lifestream sequence. It's more than just helping him put himself back together. It's realizing deeper emotions and truths about each other and themselves. And he missed out on the well-known line that would send his point home: "Words aren't the only way to tell someone how you feel".
To those of you who’ve guided me through the darkest hours of my life- thanks for being my Tifa.
