🎵 I am so, so bored 🎶
Honestly, this is why I like how they are in CoT and AC. Obligatory I have my complaints, but it just feels more mature and real to me. It adds a lot of depth to the aftermath and their relationship in a realistic way.Makes sense to me.
If you step back and think about it, it’s an odd situation Cloud and Tifa are in. They’re starting a relationship and cohabitation, but they’re also closely tied to Barret and Marlene ( Tifa always struck me as like this aunt to Marlene who takes care of her like a mother would. If you know someone with siblings with large age gaps, it feels familiar ).
Cloud, who comes from a single parent household, may not be used to that type of family structure but he’s willing to try because Tifa. Future passages back that up because Cloud, outside of depression, guilt, and a terminal disease, tries his best to function in that setting. He stumbles and bumbles his way through, but he still goes for it.
While I’d really like to see a glimpse into the future where they’ve got it all figured out, I do appreciate the story trying to put on display how hard it would be to go back to a normal life after the world nearly gets cracked in half.
But I have no problem begging for something more light hearted like you said, where they have it all figured out. I think we have enough material showing us their guilt, trauma, moving on, etc…
