Yeah, that's the tricky thing. Even when we do defeat the bad guy, the writers can always bring them back, so we never know for sure. Even after the release of the og FF7, there was always a chance he'd come back.
And indeed he did. Plus y'know, he kinda died the first time before the OG even started
That would be interesting. He'd be like the Higher Power of the Corporate Ministry. That would mean there has to be a follow up title to DoC. Has there been any word if that's a possibility?
As far as I know they don't seem interested in progressing past DoC. All the people screaming about the Genesis stuff be damned.
Yeah, those doors are always open. Fictional characters are never truly gone
Some writers are better about at least pretending to shut the door than others.
Indeed, there's a lot of old jokes and references rattling around up in the old noggin. They're bound to bounce awkwardly now and then. Plus I've had multiple concussions, that's always good to excuse this sort of thing.
It definitely drives you insane.
And then we do it again.
I insist we call 18/ Bulma 8 Bul.
8 Bul for the dance, Buluzi if they use Potara.
That's why I suggested it, after all.
The Administrator would love it.
A false positive is safer than a false negative, hence the tendency towards false positives.
Too true.
Ah, yes. Had not twigged to that initially.
It happens, no worries.
Hear their unending screams of joy.
It's the kind of joyous love that Baloonicorns are born from.
Which softlocked the game IIRC.
Sonic is so bored he is breaking you game now.
HEY, REST OF THE INTERNET, LISTEN UP!
If only it were that simple, right?
In my case it feels more like I'm loosening it up so it can bounce off of itself more.
Interesting, I need to experiment with this, maybe loosen the whole biz up mid-line delivery and see what happens.
I accept full responsibility if I somehow blow my own voice out.
Always gotta treat yourself on your special day.
He deserves it, man works hard.
Yeah, this might be DQ5 levels of chill if Aerith lived to the end.
Sadly, it was not to be.
To some extent yeah, it holds for all types.
The LTD seems to bring about more dishonesty than most of course.
I feel like in the last decade or more we must have at some point, but I can't remember when.
I hope so, it's a damn good joke.
Well, we do have "Cloud says he thinks of Aerith as Nakama which proves he thinks of her as more than that because he's obviously lying" thanks to Rebirth now.
...?
How do these people sleep at night?
Heavy is from around Nibelheim.
We need to find out where Red the Red is from and make him live there, methinks. If that's around Nibelheim, score.
I can see the shack full of piss jars fitting there.
Medic... Mideel ba dum tish,
Maybe so, but we all know wherever he's from we'd find him in Hojo's lab somewhere doing something less than ethical with the specimens.
Demoman is still somehow from Scotland along with Cait Sith,
Can robo-kitty drink, I wonder?
Soldier is from the scrubland between Midgar and Kalm,
Close enough to Mid-West.
Assassin is from [REDACTED] and may former Turk.
With a single click of his disguise kit he could be an
active Turk. Hell he could be anyone. He could be you! He could even be...
Blam!
Pyro is from Icicle Inn area. Gotota keep folks warm!
Works as well as anywhere, since Pyro is even more mysterious than Spy.
But wait, you forgot the Engineer. That's a practical problem that needs solvin' so... obviously Rocket Town?
Danke.
Hey, wanna buy a "flower?" First one's only 1 gil.
It would explain the prices she got at the Honeybee Inn back in OG.
"I give up, you were right, Cloti is endgame" might make a difference for them in the long run.
I laughed until I ran out of breath twice. Mind you it's funny both because it's true and also phenomenally unlikely.
That poor kid. Luckily Tifa helps, or it'd just be a downer.
Best of a bad situation and all, yeah.
Pretty good synopsis of the plot really.
Sephiroth would be terrible at therapy.
You're right, admitting you have a problem is step one. He'd probably like the bad guy affirmation though
There's no one I'd rather be than me
They can be a handle, when you have 2 it's a little less so than with 1, but then the trend reverses.
Yeah I've got three kids and three cats, it gets a little exponential sometimes.
Just tanking dragon attacks on the town with nothing but a frying pan a pot lid and the pure intent not to let a single hair on Cloud or Tifa's head get the tiniest bit singed.
I'd play this spinoff. We can even shoehorn in an unnecessary boss fight against Sephiroth at the end.
That's be a fun sitcom for Chris to do. Donald Blake, MD. A pure comedy where he plays a Thor who's forgotten he's Thor and is trying to run a medical practice.
I'd watch it.
I think he thought of it right that second, went YOLO and pulled it right out of his ass because his wife and son were in danger dammit.
Yeah that tracks. I'm still gonna headcanon it actually working being due to him subconsciously learning Yuffie's tricks.
I suspect she had to gather power. Cloud was her first cure, but she was finally ready with a countermeasure.
Ascribe not to malice what can otherwise be explained via incompetence or misfortune.
This may be one of the kindest and most idealistic sounding things I've ever seen you say. Also yeah this basically.
Aerith's big moment resembles Great Gospel, she just had to wait for her limit gauge to fill
This is amazingly reaching and special pleading to try and reframe the scene in its opposite way.
So... just another day at the office?
For Aerith it's about romance and trying to move forward from Zack. For Cloud it's about consoling her about the loss of Zack. That's the disconnect. They're not on the same page.
Operative word.
Yeah, those are bedroom eyes. That exchange of looks is in the script and is what causes Cloud to smile.
Heh, bedroom eyes. A way to express feelings without words, one might say.
As I said just above, I think it's that Aerith is trying to talk Romance while Cloud is trying to comfort a grieving friend.
She took needed a hug. Cloud is a cool guy, even if he is a massive dork.
I mean there's the lifestream sequence! But yeah 2000 gil to be a hero for one.
I need to read this. They were right to ask, actual time in Cloud's head is so limited.
She did, but it's hilarious because he has zero clue or care about being friendzoned.
"Cloud, I like you, but as a friend."
"Cool, me too."
The healthiest friend zoning I've ever seen. Everyone who gets friend zoned should be so lucky.
