Oh he totally did it, and then celebrated the W he'd just gotten fir Aerith by taking the kids out for kids meals at WacDonald's /sarcasm
Get them all a Sappy meal while he's at it.
It takes a special kind of denial to play/watch the compilation unfold and still think of The Promised Land as a physical location of any sort.
The Promised Land is a state of mind.
You have to listen to all the wrong people (Rufus, Hojo) to get that idea without listening to what Aerith herself says.
I remember pointing out that if this somehow was about Aerith, his choice of words wasn't exactly encouraging.
I remember pointing out that the goddamn fucking married man of the group didn't reference his wife, so why would we expect any of the others to reference their loved one.
Also for the lulz. They may be secondary in importance, but still vital.
Yes, do enjoy your debate/ debunking.
You can expect to be nuh-uhed if you say so to a CAltist of course. Because obviously that can't be right for... reasons? Assuming they don't just try slut shaming Tifa by implying she's bunking with Barret. I've seen it happen, it's not nice.
Ah yes, the "Anyone but Cloud" strategy. Tifa is with Barret, Johnny, Rude, Reno, Rufus, anyone but the man she formed a family with.
By ruining it for them
Har har, but no, this gacha actually gave those two characters a happy ending and also has allowed a bunch of characters to reunite (Lots of dead and missing parents in Fire Emblem.)
Daily or more at one time.
Indeed
Yep, some seemed truly proud of it. T'was nuts.
You always wonder the thought process of the ones so forthright about it.
I wish we had a smiley that's equivalent to a polite nod of gratitude and acknowledgement. Since we don't, we go all purpose
That's what it's used for most of the time anyways.
I stand by my assertion that she never knew how those words worked. It was like an opponent taking your sword and trying to use it against you only to cut their own throat. Repeatedly.
More like trying to use a weapon I casually tossed away like it was my primary armament. Like a spent flashbang she thought was my Excalibur.
This is BB's brain. This is BB's brain on Ryu. Any questions?
Why is BB? Existentially, that is.
And even Krorks, to a lesser extent.
Koroks vs 40K would be delightful and horrifying at the same time.
Did they get even worse or did things in general get a bit better? It's a bit of both, right?
Yep.
Exactly. Also requires less toxic work practices to beat crunch that way.
Ideally one does, yes. Sadly not always.
They had a nonstandard outlook for sure. Had a hint of creeper with a side of unhealthy fixation if I remember rightly.
There was a lot of shaming men for having highly sexual thoughts about Tifa, while his AV was a big titty Aerith with a materia in her cleavage.
And if you're good at something never do it for free! ...wait no.
You heard the man, become porn stars.
No, it's Attenbrough, yes. Wouldn't want to startle the animals, after all.
If you decide to satisfy that curiosity do tell.
Will do.
Sort of, he was a local reporter but not local to anywhere I ever lived
He was out of L.A. but I saw him on several national reports where they cut to a local and mistook him for national. Although at this point I guess a 90's reporter is old timey isn't he?
Fuck I'm old.
Nah, 90's isn't yet old timey. Once the 2030s come around, it might be. I think the line is somewhere in the 70s or early 80s right now.
Funny, I actually prefer a scimitar or two for berserk rampage time. To each their own if course. Axe definitely throws better if course. Just remember rule one.
Never throw away your primary weapon and never throw out a weapon you aren't fully prepared to see used against you if it comes down to it."
Are we back to weed dealer Aerith? Cause I was having the beginning of a good one for Great Gospel.
Vendel not having an off switch or settings below 10, but go ahead and give us the weed joke.
Fair point to you. Determining the origin of said lie is if course much harder. Even blatant lies aren't usually pulled wholesale out of someone's ass, but what was the basis?
Exactly. The forensics of a false belief are important to understanding how to nip it in the bud in the future. Like knowing how the fusion swords became mistakenly known as "the first tsurugi" for example.
I'm not handy enough for that kinda home improvement
Instead of knocking walls down, you have to knock them sideways. And be careful with your direction so you don't knock them up. That gets you more houses, not more house.
I forgot who it was, but I actually read that response. It's how I know of that particular nightmare of a fic in the first place
It was me.
Yeah I could see the dress itself being designed to fit Tifa since she would be missing an outfit otherwise. They need to make sure she would look good in it so I could see it as used her as a model for the dress itself. I think they all look great.
However I definitely don't think the role of Rosa itself would fit Tifa or even Yuffie as the default Rosa character. It fits Aerith the most to have that role even without the dress simply because of her connection to Loveless that was already there. She could be in the singer dress and still fit Rosa with no problem and no additions. Which is probably why Aerith is Rosa in the other scenes too. Technically speaking I would say yes she is "default Rosa". Her song is also technically "Rosa's" response to "Alphreid". And regardless of who plays Rosa this doesn't change.
But I think they were aware of that and wanted any girl to fit Rosa regardless of the dress or lore connection so the plays have choices in them where all three girls can fit in the play without an issue. This included adding things like the dialogue and spin scenes where each interaction is unique. And addition of the trophy with Tifa getting a role onstage.
Also Jessie basically having her original role be Rosa as well.
The Loveless play also being combined with the Dragon King play let's it be closer to the GC date in OG with each play being unique as well so all characters can fit seamlessly.
Yeah this I can see her as a model for the dress. However I wasn't sure because the conversation seemed to be questioning who is default Rosa and why Aerith is in other scenes hence my two cents.
I see the function of the play itself it as multipurpose basically. And yeah Cloud and Tifa in this sense would be "imposters" of the roles because they're the regular people who end up surviving and defeating Sephiroth while the "special people" die.
And Cloud finds out the mystery of Zack through meeting Aerith on Loveless Street who is dealing with his MIA. So like a bridge in the story sense. He is an "imposter Alphreid."
Ironically, because I do think the part of the play with Rosa and the dragon knight is a great big Zack and CC reference it feels better to me for Aerith not to be Rosa there. It's less cruel to her to play 'herself' against a false Zack. Plus it makes her dramatic reveal on stage more of a surprise and gives her a big bow with even more people to flank her and puts her properly in center frame. (If Tifa is Rosa it also handily gives each playable lady a moment at GS, Yuffie the center spot as the idol, Tifa gets to be Rosa, Aerith sings No Promises.)
Because he's the sort to try- or claim to try- and show a movie to grade schoolers to win an online argument.
"I can't prove my statement, but since you can't prove yours the only logical conclusion is that I'm right!"
I'd honestly argue that there is evidence he isn't wearing it anymore. Nobody else is, first off. Second off, refer back to the message that Advent Children is trying to bash you over the head with: moving on.
Oh, almost certainly.
It's best not to try make sense of Final Fantasy 8, we're all better off that way. Time travel will always create weird paradoxes one way or another.
I might just be strange but I never found FF8 confusing. Poorly explained, but not confusing.
Even excluding the obvious 'Tifa is his light who he's running away from, same as he was in Advent Children', a Clerith narrative for Kingdom Hearts two is especially ridiculous.
Do these people really think Nomura went through the effort to make such a mockery of Tifa? That she runs around Hollow Bastion looking under tables and banging on walls trying to find a guy who doesn't love her and is actively running away from her as if she's some crazy person, while he is apparently searching for his lost love (Aerith), and that Nomura was okay with this portrayal of her? I'm speechless, but tbh what's new?
Plus he's not actually looking for Aerith at all, but Sephiroth.
The real question is; is Aerith into Zack being launched out of a wrist cannon?
You know she would be. So would Zack, probably.
All too easy. Everytime. Hell, quote Aerith herself to contradict a Clerith.
That you can.
"He can wear her ribbon in Final Fantasy Tactics!" pfffft
Nevermind everyone in FF7 can wear "her" ribbon.
It doesn't really matter either way, Loveless is one big Crisis Core reference anyway, it certainly isn't Clerith-coded.
It's ZA as hell, yes.
The reason I say it is because Jenova is an alien who crash landed at one of the poles, then it shape shifts into those around you to fool you. At a base level it just sounds similar, so that's why I bring it up.
I'd say Jenova is technically a hivemind, all of the blackrobes had the same intention, to 'reunite' with each other at the 'reunion'. So there's atleast some evidence to support it.
Like I said, we don't have confirmation but it seems quite possible.
for the role it’s clear to me that it doesn’t fit Tifa. But then I also don’t think Cloud fits anyway - although he does if he takes it as Zack. Which is interesting since I feel he takes his role in the gondola as a stand-in for Zack too with Aerith.
