I think they will because sales for this game obviously weren't as high as they had hoped, they're keeping relatively quiet on it, being even more blatant than they already were in the original would only drive away fans (Cleriths). Plus, I don't feel like Nomura would jump at the chance to remove any and all interpretations from his works, even if they are wrong, he's just like that. He has already in the past been a sort of enemy to Cloti (Meddling in what Nojima wanted portrayed in kingdom hearts, and that infamous "I don't have a clue" quote from him)
If only Advent Children was a slightly better film, one can only wish it had like 5 minutes of extra runtime to erase the anti-Cloti view it loves to give to people who aren't in the know.
I’m pretty sure Nakama is a huge friendship thing too.
Rebirth actually sold pretty well. Just not as well as Remake. But… Remake also came out during lockdown when more people were buying games in general.
That could be one reason sure, but more emphasis on Tifa already is clearly there so we can get a more natural build up towards the Lifestream event later on.
It all just comes down to the simple fact that they needed Aeriths death to hit hard at the player back then, so they made more of a spectacle of her death than Tifas "death", which we already knew that Tifa wasn't really dead to begin with. Also i'd argue Cloud did have a strong reaction to Tifa too, as he was filled with rage and went and killed Sephi.
That's too bad, and I'm sorry you feel that way. I love it though. It lets me know that the final battle of the trilogy will 100 percent be something bigger than what we got in the OG.
You were just saying you want them to do this though haha. Your doom and gloom is def confusing
I'm outdated with anime ) but my friend told me that the fact that Cloud called her a nakama means it can never move on to something romantic.
I don’t think Nakama essentially means the friendzone. I don’t think think it’s impossible.Yeah I'm thinking that too but (btw sorry didnt watch one piece
Because its like a comrade / brother / sister or close to that but never further. ( again not expert )
With the amount of time and money spent on these games, even if Rebirth sold "pretty well" it could still discourage bold decisions that drive away fans I guess. But I'd say they are still selling well enough that it hopefully won't affect it TOO much.
I see you were misunderstanding me, I was saying that I was worried it was going to end like that, not that I actually wanted it to end like that. Sorry about that.
This is the fundamental problem with Clerith, you HAVE to "debunk" Cloti for it to work, but not the other way around. It's why the Clerith narrative drags characters down with it and the Cloti narrative doesn't.
I get that, and I agree, basically "the current Cloud Strife would jump at the chance to kiss Tifa." and that makes sense. But if the game shows me Cloud is romantically interested in Aerith, and it can't really be assumed none of those feelings carry over after the real him comes back, paired with the fact I think Cloti moments will be cheapened, are the main reasons I have these worries in the first place.
it has to, since Square is still hell bent on having Cloud refer to Tifa as nakama in some spinoff, I can't remember which one. It still feels annoying Square won't just rip the band-aid off and refer to Cloud and Tifa as more than just "Childhood friends".
lad, you did this to someone else aswell, what is your problem? Calm it, I promise I'm one of the most pro-Cloti people out there, it's why I feel worried about it in the first place.
Yeah. I see what you’re saying.
Thing is, i don't believe it ever showed this. I didn't get that vibe at all from any of their moments in the game, not the chapter 12 date, not the "dream date" and none of the bonding dialogue moments throughout the game showed Cloud having that towards her, but i know people have their own intepretations about these things so i can't really prove it with my own words i guess.
See, I can't really see Cloud initiating hand holding with Aerith as anything but romantic, like, why else would he do that? To showcase a familial bond? especially not the interlocking fingers later on, that definitely has romantic connotations, especially when we know Cloud harbored some degree of liking for Aerith, atleast while he was acting out his SOLDIER persona.
Interesting. I actually think it’s pretty ambiguous. I think it does have some romantic connotations but I also think it could just be a show of comfort.
The way I see it, is if I went on a date with a girl I liked and then interlocked fingers with her for a prolonged period of time, I would 100% go home thinking I made BIG progress with her, since I've never been romantically involved with anyone, same as Cloud.
Give it a rest, I don't really know how I can prove to you I'm not a Clerith. Just trust me, I gush about Cloud, Tifa and their relationship, I love them.
I was referring to the dream date btw, not the gold saucer one, sorry for any misunderstanding.
