I feel like as every day goes by the arguments in the LTD just get crazier and crazier…
It comes in waves, honestly. But it's always especially bad right after new information drops because the crazy hasn't had time to settle into an official "party approved" form of bullshit so you get all sorts of crazy, like the hand holding being the sign of lovers over kissing (For the record, I can find zero reference to hand holding being referred to as Koibito Tsunagi, the literal translation of which is 'becoming lovers)
To be honest, it's always the same takes. They just run their arguments over and over again.
Tomorrow it will be somthing about :
- Tifa being a bully
- Tifa and Cloud not being close
- They're not a couple in AC
- Tifa is just a character to please western players
- Tifa is not useful for the LS scene
- Game setting up insane plot twist because Aerith and Cloud is the endgame
- Next game is Mass Effect. Choose your ending
- Aerith broke up with Zack so the only ending possible is Clerith
Don't forget such gems as "Aerith sent Denzel to Cloud so he's their child, not Cloud and Tifa's", "Barret/ the family of friends prove Cloud and Tifa aren't together" and one of my perennial favorites " the summer and winter monkeys in the FFX monkey matching minigame are evidence of Cloud and Aerith belonging together.
What kind of geezer posts the same shit for 20 years. glances around furtively
Come to think of it, we got bored and raided GameFAQs one day. I think we brought you back with us afterward at some point.
Yep, that's how you yanked me onto ACF. Now you're making me remember the other forum I belonged to at the time, Eyes on Final Fantasy and this one poster's crackpot FF8 theory about "well organized time compression" and how all the playable characters were actually related to each other as parent and child and grandchild. It made R=U and Squall is Dead look practically sane.
Ah, memories

@Isabella wherever you are, you'll get a kick out of it. (Just don't log in and blame me for falling off the LTD-free wagon.)
Oh Daflock. Change. Seriously. do it yesterday. He and Drake Clawfang are still hanging around on the FF7 boards over there.
Oh and this is a must-read for any LTD junkie who'd like to be
DESTROYED with FACTS and LOGIC
I think being mad at shit being said on ACF was responsible for at least a few of those counterarguments going up there.
It's been raging for 27 years. This is why I hope Part 3 has a definitive conclusion. It's gone on long enough.
Also, damn... I was twelve in 2007. I'm getting old, man.
I was 23.
On the topic of old forum members, I'm guessing the name "Vendel" will ring a bell with some people here.
They're still active on twitter to this day, for anyone curious.
Still full of piss and vinegar with no off switch?
How hard did you try not to touch the poop? Did you strain until you broke or just say fuck it let's mosey?
I held out for awhile, but I intervened out of worry someone else might swallow the bullshit.
Ooo that's a new one for me. So the interview was "real" and the setting a joke? That's a cute little blatant lie.
Of course it is. But they need to protect their 'sources' even if they're hilariously fake and wrong.
[quotee]Might as well just say "This is a CxA echo chamber talk about CxA or GTFO."[/quote]
That's basically what the mod who locked the thread said.
That's a helluva ratio, something to keep in mind when someone makes a bullshit appeal to popularity.
It's not even a percentage point of the other subreddit's numbers.
I've heard, if and when it becomes plausible I'll definitely take it under advisement.
I'd start with LTTP rando before moving on to crazier stuff.
The world shudders from fear at the prospect of those two ever meeting.
People would spontaneously start dying before they even did anything.
Ahhh right. Now I can enjoy both, so that's nice.
Welk.
To be fair, I might just have pretty intense radiation sickness and be hallucinating
Have you been cuddling the uranium at night again?
Sounds about right. I'd like to suggest Yuffie was this close to finishing once.
But even with her ninja clones she couldn't quite manage.
I like Aerith/Heavy, I think I'd make Cait play Sniper just for the sight of the kitty with a huge rifle. The Moogle makes a decent sniper nest.
You hear that fan artists? Get to drawin'.
Scout is never outclassed in his own mind. Or when there's a really good Scout-main at the controls, for that matter, but that's beside the point.
His mind is where most of the problem lies, however.
I imagine Cloud going over his sword with a whetstone, Barret swabbing the barrels on his gun, Tifa working the heavy bag, etc when he comes over to meet the gang. Just wordless expressions of capability and potential intent to sweat the poor kid.
Even Marlene trying to be menacing.
We get enough deliberate dumb in the LTD, methinks.
It's an entirely different kind of dumb, however.
Both groups seem to have some difficulty with reality for one.
That's an understatement.
It's true as fuck of being a dad.
You're the expert here.
Is AC worth watching ? The current consensus is it's kind of a shitty movie.
It's not great, but ACC is a good fun spectacle. Read the backstory stuff and play Crisis Core.
Advent Children basic should only be watched with the parody subs I wrote in college.
Which Sephiroth is which. Since he seems to be doing a lot more wihtout a physical body than you would assume. And the black materia oh dear god so ones a key to the real one that we give to Sephiroth and then he somehow finds the real one and gives it to Cloud. Yet why does he need Cloud at that point if he can travel through the lifestream. HELP XD
There is a visual difference in the static between the two.
As for needing the black Materia, I think the temple still is the real black materia and Sephiroth still needs it so his Retrilogy self can cast meteor and begin apotheosing. This might be a requite for his world travel BS.
