I knew it was coming. Her weapons were literally becoming too good to just give to a player compared to everyone else's gear, so I knew to expect a rug pull. It also wasn't the first time I'd had an RPG kill off the sisterly cleric-y type character. Hell, I'd had to kill one myself in Breath of Fire. I was mad about it, but it didn't shock me or make me cry.
). Anyway I didn’t like her from the get go. But the thing is, I didn’t like Cloud either lmao. I thought he was an arsehole. So while I liked Tifa, I didn’t ship CT until the LS, even kept telling Tifa she could do so much better since I felt the game was pushing CA.
Was this the Steam rerelease? Or the original PC version? I’ve always been curious about the latter. How well did it hold up? Were the keyboard controls bad? Did game pads work? Were there any weird bugs exclusive to it?
Which one was this? I immediately thought BOF4 but I'm not sure it was the one you meant.
I played the original PC version (disk and all, borrowed from my brother). I don't remember any problems with it aside from the chocobo races in the Gold Saucer, I think. I had to download a patch for that. I think I still have it saved somewhere. Admittedly, my memories are also very faint of that first experience, lol.
How were the controls? And what was the problem with the races? That PC release is probably rare nowadays.
It was the original PC version I played when it was released I think lol. Which is why I lost materia when Aerith died
Honestly, I don't remember any problems with the controls? But I still play original Tomb Raiders without any problems whereas my brothers tried the first one a couple of years ago and was like, "the controls were terrible", lol. I was just ??? what are you talking about??? the controls are fine??? Of course they need a bit of getting used to since they're different from the WSDA + mouse combination.
Oh, I vaguely recall doing TERRIBLY at it, maybe that's why lmao.It was the original PC version I played when it was released I think lol. Which is why I lost materia when Aerith died
The controls were shit and I didn’t have any pad to play. There was an exclusive bug that came with it IIRC, the Junon parade had a bug that made it impossible to get a good score and I concur it was SHIT lmao I hated it.
I actually do pretty bad on the Junon march even now. But I don’t have trouble with the Rufus send-off.
This is exactly my problem with the LTD and the reason I used to despise Aerith (to my own detriment). If you're in the camp of "it's player choice", the game is still not really taking it into account and then at least one character is going to come off terrible, which there's no way is how the developers intended us to view them. But having a character constantly push for intimacy/flirting when the other has given nothing but "no thanks"/"I don't know what you're talking about" answers just makes players dislike the other side. Note that this applies to all three characters in the original depending on which lens you see them through. "Wavering between two heroines" paints all three of them as terrible friends.
There were plenty of bugs exclusive to it. The any% FF7 speedrun is a split category because of the Yuffie time travel glitch.
The original one. Near the end of the game you have to fight your sister Sara when her body is being manipulated, and it's the perfect time to uncork the bottled Dragon hurt.
Oh, of course. I think the "cleric-y type character" confused me, lol.
I can see why you defaulted to BOF4 as well, BTW, it just came out after FF7. Damn good game.
The water tower scene was an interesting choice to have that dialogue seeing how iconic it is to CT.
They were actually responding to a tweet Nojima made about researching the differences between 「総受け」(total acceptance) and 「愛され」(loved), so the big CT account asked whether or not it's true that "Ai" /「愛 」(love) is not commonly used which led to that exchange you posted. (: Just for some additional context
Thanks, I didn’t have the context since I don’t have twitter right now xD
I think people would argue it’s a general statement and not directed at Tifa (even though it is).
Isn't there also some Zerith overlap there though? Isn't that also when it cuts to Zack's interlude with him looking back at the sky (with withered flower petals in the wind), essentially mirroring what Aerith is doing? It feels very soul-matey, especially with other moments where Aerith senses Zack (Cosmo Canyon).
Well, Nojima did recently like a tweet that said Tifa was a devoted, great wife, or something along those lines.
Seeing ToTP destroying 20+ tears of bad Tifa takes and Remake + Rebirth? He’s 100% keeping notes lol. Don’t forget he said he wrote ZA to protect Aerith from bad takes, so I am sure he does the same with Tifa.
Though Aerith was wondering about her mom, the Corel scene seemed to also have a ZA undertone to it. In the scene prior, its in Zack's world and as he looks to the broken sky, wilted yellow flower petals are carried away in the breeze. Then it cuts to Aerith looking at a "fair" sky. The fair sky is often associated to Zack whereas yellow flower petals (or reunion flower) are associated to Aerith.
Interesting. I never noticed that. Wonder if it was intentional.
