i seem to have run into margot who was trying to tell me NPTK is a love song only for Cloud
only to then show them the many interviews we now have disproving it. They even made a cute little video cutting out certain parts

It's not pleasant work, no.Fascinating in the same way as a biologist studying scat to inform themselves on unusual animal diets. It's genuinely fascinating, but still requires digging through miles of shit.
Not that they're listening. He said it NPTK was about everyone in her life, they ignored that.Good, he already wrote this shit once, now he can write into a hammer to bring down on the fingers of poor dangling off a ledge CAltists.
Avoid echo chambers and huboxes, to go with that.Failure to heed this advice has some nasty consequences folks. Be wary.
At least you've traded it for a less intense irritant, I suppose.Different sensory scramble from mine, otherwise I know well the feeling you speak of. I partially lose color vision and have my hearing go nuts for the really crippling migraines. So yeah, retroactive sympathy back man.
I get plenty from my real life, don't you worry.See that you do, a tiny bit of healthy reinforcement to balance the tons of vitriol you've suffered in LTD discussions won't hurt much.
"Apologies for the noise!"Could work. I imagine them apologizing for how loud their scattergun is even as they pile up corpses.
Maybe a graffiti'd Cosmo Canyon wall? Something at Costa Del Sol or Gongaga to round things out? Maybe a level cleaning up Shinra Manor?Chocobo Race Track gets my vote.
Maybe she does but it's like a second persona she's not aware of. Ms Pauling is, though, and has to manage both of them.They definitely both have comedic value. Choosing is hard.
Basically every time he tries, then?It's always fun when he tries to do the real human life thing and falls off the wagon into hero stuff same day.
Oh, it's always with him, he just usually tries to be better than those angry impulses.That angry nerd has never truly left him, even at the best of times. He will forever inform a part of what Peter is and can be... barring editorial going too far the other way I guess.
It was mostly a matter of when it happened that made it a problem, IIRC.Agreed. Problematic as it truly is, by comparison it's nothing at all.
This holds true for basically all of their interactions, though.Mikhail's reaction to Zero solving the dairy problem will never not be gold.
People would just keep saying complete bullshit, fail to respond when numerous flaws were brought up, and then respond to other much more trivial portions of responses.There were times you ended at least ten posts in a row that way. It rarely got addressed by anyone on the opposing side.
A lot of those were more accurately "anti-Cloti" proofs, because Anastar spent a lot of her time trying to tear down CT believing that CA would rise by default as a result.Even when, for it to be true, it would need to disprove three other "Clerith proofs" at once.
So too will a lot of recent desperate shippers, going by what they are saying on Twitter and reddit, like the many many arguments trying to tear down the Gondola KIss.Hook, line, sinker. Anastar would swallow the whole tackle box if it was pink.
It's interesting, that for as involved in Fandom as I am, I don't think I've ever encountered a Clerith in person. OT3 shippers several times, but never just a Clerith.I believe you, I've witnessed it myself. In person, once, had a coworker in TX call a friend over to reinforce their worldview regarding Clerith.
One can only hope the Witness escaped the cult in the end.It's a good feeling. It reminds me of an occasion where Jehovah's Witnesses came a knocking at my house. One thing led to another and suddenly one Witness is all but physically dragging the other back to the car... because a certain Devil had nearly converted them to paganism for shuts and giggles
We're well past the statute of limitations on resurrections, though.Never let the CAltists get the Dragon balls.
Better yet, a painting on her own house, that she herself painted, maybe even days before the start of the game.Can I just get some slum graffiti in sector 5 that says "Aerith + Zack Forever" already? Let the writing be literally on the wall.
It was intriguing to see on their reddit a celebration of people who shipped the pairing despite not playing the game. I don't think that reveals what they want it to about the pairing.Unfortunately CT too stronk. It dulls the shredder blades and blows out the fire. No matter how much they're mangled to misinform noobs and neutrals, once you know the real quoted you can only be deceived willingly.
it's very hard for people to change horses mid stream and all that.It's like a...

Yeah, I've butted heads with Margot a couple times, simultaneously miserable to speak to and a huge liar: "Cloud and Tifa can't have been in a relationship because Cloud never opened his heart to her"Oh, so that's the Margot I've seen mentioned a few times.
I guess "the lore" doesn't include the writer's own words on the subject?

For some it was a clear avoidance strategy. For others I am convinced they could not follow an argument beyond a single reply. They completely forgot their own arguments between posts.

And I've sparked debates about which of the three Lords in Fire Emblem Three Houses/ Hopes is best for Fodlan (It's Edelgard. For anyone wanting to discuss that or object to it we can make a thread)

Seriously though they hate us because, ironically, we provided translations. Accurate ones. That spoiled the game. It's the same reason ShinRa Archeology Dept are getting hate now.

They had quite a visceral reaction to a thread Shady made recently, so not too far off.Whenever y'all mention this Margot person I get a mixed image of Live Action Harley Quinn and the girl from The Shadow in my head. So, deranged and screaming. Sound accurate at all?
Yeah, I figured that Zack references end in 8 and Cloud references start in 9. Though, there are lines that are curious, mainly 2 and 3.To add on to Aerith searching for Zack in Cloud, and that she is not over him before or during the events of ff7:
I saw it on Shady's thread and I was reminded of it's existenceView attachment 17008
In what world is this about Cloud? Sure, the last 4 probably are, but she's not speaking of him in the way she is about her feelings for Zack.
Where did you even find this, haha?View attachment 17007
damm they really don't like us here huh XD
I think I blocked her after the 2nd Tweet or so that made it in my TL... But yeah, the day the interview was released and the developers confirmed that NPTK was about multiple people, parts of the fandom had a bit of a mental breakdown. It was kind of block fest to me.i seem to have run into margot who was trying to tell me NPTK is a love song only for Cloud

Not to mention that most of these takes don't fit so well with the interviews or Ultimania. But hey, what do the devs know?Yeah, I've butted heads with Margot a couple times, simultaneously miserable to speak to and a huge liar: "Cloud and Tifa can't have been in a relationship because Cloud never opened his heart to her"
Buddy, not only is there a quote addressing this exact thing, it also says that she's the only person he's opened his heart to.
I think she's the first person to spread the idea that "it's a jealous kiss", or one of the first. I remember I tried to take her up on it since it was basically my first time interacting with the "fandom".
Anyway, basically I said it was crazy to assume it was a jealous kiss, a completely unreasonable interpretation, simply put, the reply I got was "Real Cloud would never do this, you're an idiot if you think so, just because I said it's a jealous kiss doesn't mean I said it's within his character", I reply with: "If Cloud's actions during his SOLDIER persona don't represent his character, then what does that say for his moments with Aerith?"
...never got a reply, lmao.
Also the entire date in chapter 14 is a whole Zack reference.Yeah, I figured that Zack references end in 8 and Cloud references start in 9. Though, there are lines that are curious, mainly 2 and 3.
Also, considering how most people seem to straight-up ignore Zack's presence in Re-Trilogy in favour of, well, sort of hyperfocusing on CA moments, CA does kind of feel like a giant red herring. I mean, Aerith's ex-boyfriend is there, lol. He basically defied death and fate and is currently fighting to get back to her. The ex-boyfriend she kept seeing in her "new flame".
That's what the comment is a post on a repost I made. I just sent them a picture of Cloud saying you have been weird all day and they haven't replied but sure are subtweeting about the thread being shady claiming to be a lore master. When he said take this with a grain of salt XDThey had quite a visceral reaction to a thread Shady made recently, so not too far off.

Something else I'd like to mention is that in a recent interview with Cody Christian, he describes Cloud as "loveable" and "loyal".
So, if this is supposedly a jealous kiss, wouldn't that make Cloud simultaneously unloveable and disloyal? And the guy who's being paid to act the character is just lying? A real head-scratcher, I think.
To me, Cody saying that Cloud is loveable and loyal puts a metric ton of Clerith "arguments" six feet under: No, "I think I can meet her there" is not romantic in nature. No, Cloud does not lead Tifa on during the events of OTWTAS and Advent Children in favour of yearning for Aerith.
To still argue these points would be to argue that Cody is straight up lying.
Oh! And something else about Margot, if I remember correctly, she gave out to Cody after he posted something that Cleriths perceived as "pro-Cloti" from him...it was a meme about the "TIFAAAA!!" moment in Gongaga.

Yes, it was. I don't think what he said was in reply to them directly, though.If I remember correctly, it was they who unleashed Cody's legendary TedTalk.
What's new? They never have.Not to mention that most of these takes don't fit so well with the interviews or Ultimania. But hey, what do the devs know?
Like I've always said: Zack is doing for Aerith right now what Cleriths have been begging Cloud to do for nearly 3 decades at this point.Also, considering how most people seem to straight-up ignore Zack's presence in Re-Trilogy in favour of, well, sort of hyperfocusing on CA moments, CA does kind of feel like a giant red herring. I mean, Aerith's ex-boyfriend is there, lol. He basically defied death and fate and is currently fighting to get back to her. The ex-boyfriend she kept seeing in her "new flame".
Yup, that was Margot. It's possible that this was also the tweet that lead me to block that account. To even bother a VA with this disrespect was too much. I'm glad that Cody spoke up against this kind of behavior.If I remember correctly, it was they who unleashed Cody's legendary TedTalk.
Imagine being so delulu and unbearable that you get the official voice actor to confess without too much ambiguity that your ship has never been to sea...
It should have been the trigger to return to reality. But looking at your screen, it apparently wasn't enough. Rather telling about the initial intention of this kind of person.
Clout reaching and spreading nonsense like any other conspiracy theorist -> In the block list you go.
Bugging VAs about shipping stuff will always get an oof from me, regardless the ship or if it’s canon or not.Yup, that was Margot. It's possible that this was also the tweet that lead me to block that account. To even bother a VA with this disrespect was too much. I'm glad that Cody spoke up against this kind of behavior.
hmmm, now that I think about it I might have been confused on whether or not it said "his important person" or "those important to him", probably the latter.How can he protect Zack and Aerith, they're already dead. Of course Nojima is referring to Tifa and the kids there.
@Ryushikaze, there's a certain translation that I'm curious about, and I would be thankful if you could help clear up my confusion here:
View attachment 17012
So, is this translation correct? I see it circulate twitter a lot, but I've seen two different versions of it, one is the one I've posted here, which is seemingly referring to Tifa, or atleast used to refer to her.
But I've also seen translations that refer to Aerith/Zack here, or at least I think I have.
So, I'm just wondering what this actually says, thanks.
double checked my understanding of “candid personality” and it’s basically the opposite of Cloud, especially when he’s curled inwardly during an emotionally charged situation such as depression.If you want to share it for people to translate :
クラウドはもともと決してカラ
ッとした性格でもないし、ティファと 暮らし始めて仕事も始めたんだ けど、今まで体験したことのない平 和な暮らしを手に入れて、逆に不安 になったんです。そんな中で自分も 星痕症候群 にかかってしまい、大 事な人を守るどころか、自分が死に 直面しなければならなくなり、逃げ 出したと。
Romaji: kura udo wa motomoto kesshite kara tu to shita seikaku de mo naishi, tifa to kurashihajimete shigoto mo hajimeta ndakedo, ima made taiken shita koto no nai hira wana kurashi o te ni irete, gyaku ni fuan ni natta ndesu. sonna naka de jibun mo hoshikon shōkōgun " ni kakatteshimai, dai kotona hito o mamorudokoroka, jibun ga shini chokumen shinakerebanaranaku nari, nigedashita to.
The english translation seems faithful. Cloud never had a bright personality, he started to live with Tifa and work. It was a peaceful life, something he never really experienced and started to feel anxious. Then he contracted geostigma. He had to face death and chose to run away instead of protecting the people he cared about (They're not named, but it's obviously Denzel/Marlene/Tifa as told in ACC. He wanted to protect and cure Denzel, but he ran away when he got sick too)
What frustrates me though… is that Cloud doesn’t behave like that in the original game after he’s put back together again. He’s clumsy with his expressions, but he does express himself. Enlightened Cloud, I like to call him.
I double checked my understanding of “candid personality” and it’s basically the opposite of Cloud, especially when he’s curled inwardly during an emotionally charged situation such as depression.
Which I like if you pair it with Elmyra’s words to him about SOLDIERs giving up a normal life in exchange for power.I think the idea is rather something “colorful”, which is why I used “bright” in my quick translation. He's not extroverted, nor optimistic by nature. Having a happy, peaceful life is therefore new to him, and he feels anxious. “Too good to be true” is his state of mind. I think that's what Nojima is telling.
I wonder if they knew Turks are her real bodyguard. Do they read TOTP? Do they play Ever Crisis?Even if that’s the case, Aerith is inherently insulated from it because the Turks act as her security detail. Far enough away to be ignored, but close enough to swat danger away from her.
I think she even refers to it as a cage herself, just big enough she can ignore it if she tries, but it is still there.
They just ship Aerith with blonde Zack lol. This is why I dont always mock Cali's crazy prediction because it can be turned to Zerith.Like I've always said: Zack is doing for Aerith right now what Cleriths have been begging Cloud to do for nearly 3 decades at this point.
