I know he vanishes pretty close to the end of the book (And I suspect it coincides with when he learns he has the stigma too). I mean during the middle, the part where things are rolling along smoothly for them for some time after Denzel shows up. Sorry if there was confusion there.
And I was just listening to the track most associated with Kana (Next to You) while writing a fic today. What a coincidence
Oh, yes, the entire story is predicated on their having a relationship during which Cloud and Tifa's anxieties get the better of them. I just want a more coherent timeline.
There will always be crazies. Like the people still trying to insist that there's no canon version of the highwind scene and anyways nothing happened anyways but also they want to give it to Aerith instead.
At this point, leave them to the delusion. If part 3 is a satisfying conclusion to all the plot threads woven so far, I’ll just happily play and play and play while they make webs of conspiracy boards to explain it all away.
People out here really believe Cloud regrets hugging and comforting Tifa in Remake, that it was a "mistake"
Let me guess, because she’s dead they had to make up a brand new character to live with Cloud and Aerith’s kids. Boom, Tifa.
im about to link you a post thats just using AI as translations WILD
Honestly, what matters most is that Aerith had about 5 heart felt goodbyes. Those aren't just to Cloud, they're to the player. If after that she's not gone then......they suck at storytelling.
HAHAHAHAHAHA, oh wow.
Ooooh so this is why Cloud goes to the church in AC. He wants Aerith to shoot him so they can be together.
The goodbye at the very end felt veeeery much aimed at the audience even though she wasn’t looking into the camera.
Which is why I’m confused some people are so convinced they’re going to shove her death scene in our face upwards of 3 more times in part 3.
I saw that. I have no fucking clue what this magazine is, and aside from "it tells them exactly what they want to hear" there's no reason to think of it as more authoritative then Nojima saying the first thing he decided about the film, while it was still a short film, was that Cloud and Tifa would be together.
I stand by the idea that Cloud isn't there to die, he's there to ask Aerith for a miracle for Denzel, and for forgiveness for his sin of failure. He doesn't tell Tifa this because she doesn't like that he's turned their good friend and her best friend into a symbol of failure.Ooooh so this is why Cloud goes to the church in AC. He wants Aerith to shoot him so they can be together.
BUT SERIOUSLY. It literally undoes all the progress Cloud made in the games lmao. In CoT he does A LOT to comfort Tifa and encourage her to move on. He holds her when she cries, tells her to give the bar a try, etc etc. So it’s not like Cloud couldn’t be there for her.
It’s hard for me to believe that Cloud thought the best thing he could do was go die alone and leave Tifa and the kids. If he could, for the most part, bounce back from seeing Aerith die in his face, he can’t at least be there while Denzel is suffering too?
I want sort of the opposite, but also in the pursuit of laying AC bullshit to rest. I want it fully redone, with explicit motivations discussed. Staring at camera if need be.
Oh, now I'm curious. Mind telling me which part? XDAnd I was just listening to the track most associated with Kana (Next to You) while writing a fic today. What a coincidence
But as someone who had at least seen that anime, they do have similarities, yeah.
There's one more possible similarity that will come up later x3
I think it was made to flaunt how much they could do after the merge.
The story of it’s conception always struck me as AC being the product of needing to justify it being a movie vs a short so they piled on all these internal and external conflicts and it ballooned out of control vs this is the story we’ve been eager to tell.
