There is a dog in the scene, but I think you might be conflating it with the scene with the dog right before she finds Cloud in Mideel.

no no! It was this one :tearsofjoy: the other one is gray as far as I remember ( my main goal is to remember all the cats and dogs in games /and forget about everything else it seems so ; -- ;

Thanks for finding the scene! I barely remember it at all. So I guess it does settle that Cloud's persona kinda snaps into action when he sees Tifa for the first time.

An Ultimania confirms it too:

"Immediately prior to the start of the game, when Cloud’s mind was shattered, he ran into Tifa and seemed to immediately return to “normal” (–>P.13); this was because the mimic abilities of the Jenova cells inside Cloud read her mind, seeing her memories of him, which were then combined with his own ideal vision of himself, fashioning a new personality for him." -FF7 Ultimania Omega

I have what is probably a disconcertingly accurate memory when it comes to FF7, so if you need to find another scene, well, you know who to ask lol.

Cloud's reunion with Tifa here is what completes his "SOLDIER" persona. Her memories of him and the Nibelhiem incident are transfered to his subconscious because of the Jenova cells. She quite literally completes him, in that sense. I wonder if the remake will lean in harder on how off and sickly he was acting when he first meets Tifa; I always thought she was so watchful of him in part because his behavior was worrying her.

man the Ultimania explanations to things are so dumb sometimes.

I read this and Derek Zoolander's voice asked in my head, "Jenova reads minds!?"

I mean, so can Sephiroth. :monster:

Jenova and by extension Sephiroth, can read a person's minds, memories and emotions to fool them, trick them and pour on the mental sadism.

How else would poor Jenova be able to shapeshift into deceased loved ones, trick the stupid Cetra and eat or infect them, if it couldn't tell it's victims their favorite color or tv show?

Cloud drags himself from Zack's final resting place to Midgar and rides a train to Sector Seven station. Blind luck or Deus Ex Jenova?

Would be interesting if alive!Zack gets involved in that part going forward. I could see Zack trying to get to Aerith with Cloud in tow, but they get separated on the train or something. Make him get painfully closer to reuniting with Aerith, but it doesn't happen to twist the knife a bit.

I always just figured it had more to do with having parasitic access to the memories in The Lifestream, and more hivemind-like stuff that comes with the cloning process.

I guess it's just a roundabout way of saying the same thing really. It at least saves me from pondering Jenova being literally bulimic:monster:

smh tho maybe remake will contain a scene where Sephiroth taunts a memory (ala End of Eva) involving Cloud and a pair or orthopedic underwear.

First stop Kalm, and a lot of questions.

"Cloud did you go to my house?"
"Cloud did you go into my room?"
"Cloud did you play my piano?"

"Cloud did you look in my panties drawer?"

Lots of questions, that need answering.

No, please continue. I need more material for my adult fanfiction.
If you use that drivel for your adult fanfiction, your erotica is going to be arousing like the idea of a dry handjob, just saying. :mon:

How long has Cloud been wearing the same underwear?
Bold of you to assume Cloud uses underwear.

"Cloud did you go to my house?"
"Cloud did you go into my room?"
"Cloud did you play my piano?"

"Cloud did you read the letters on my desk like a deranged stalker?"
"Cloud did you read my diary like a creep?"

"Cloud did you look in my panties drawer?"

He didn't because he went straight to the laundry bag. He went after her used panties, that's Hentai 101.

Cloud "borrowing" Tifa's underwear is such a 90s thing to do! Why did people then think this was normal behavior? LMAO Who greenlit this thing again? Was it Toriyama? Bless that guy and his tainted heart.

As far as I know, it is a somewhat normal occurrence in Japan. Hanging laundry simply disappear, guys stealing underwear is still a thing. Nobody does anything because it's ridiculous, so women are instructed to just shrug it off. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cloud took it a step further then because Tifa's underwear wasn't even hanging. lol
