NO Aerith is the angel, Tifa is the whore
Shouldn't those things be the same?
Also, thanked like 99% of the posts from the last three pages.
Why do you guys get it, yet there are still people opposing this?
Seriously: getting Vincent and Yuffie is optional. The scene with Terra and the kids that's on that scan? Optional.
All of those things are, nonetheless, part of the summaries of their game's stories. And so is the high affection Highwind scene.
When did Yuffie join? Before Junon. When did Vince join? When they went through Nibelheim.
Wutai? It's there before the Keystone business. Lucrecia's cave? After Cloud recovers in the Lifestream.
Fighting Humbaba and Terra rejoining the Returners? Before Shadow rejoined, who was before Relm, who was before Strago, who was before Locke, who was before Mog and Umaro, who was before Gogo, which took place prior to Sabin reuniting with Duncan, which was before Cyan rejoined [EDIT: (actually, before the Dream Stooges incident)], who was before Gau [EDIT: (actually, before Gau met his father)], which was before the Hidon incident, which was before the party met Odin and fought Deathguise -- all of which happened, in that order, prior to going to Kefka's Tower.
The summaries are pretty specific about how a great many optional things went down.
That said, when it comes to FFVII it's
not always specific -- yet when it isn't, it tells you it's not. For example, the date sequence? It outright says in the primary text that the outcome is based on the player, then relegates those specifics off to a smaller box in the margin.
Fighting the Turks in Midgar's tunnels at the end of Disc 2? Also says that's up to the player. Doesn't mention it in the main body of the text, and then relegates off to the side mention that, if the player took part in the Wutai side-quest, they have the option of not fighting the Turks when they run into them.
High affection Highwind scene? In the main body of the text:
"And when Cloud and Tifa remain behind alone, in their final hours, they disclose that their feelings for each other match."
What it has off in the margin serves only to reinforce that it was the high affection version that went down:
"2 versions of the conversation before the final battle
Prior to the final battle, the contents of the conversation between Cloud and Tifa can change depending on the degree of Tifa's affection. If the degree of affection is high, the contents of the two's conversation will involve deep subject matter and strong feelings for each other. As well, the sight of the two seen by their companions the next morning will lead to an embarrassing scene for Tifa, and she blushes greatly."
It doesn't even bother describing any other version.
Put that on top of its placement on the "Impressive Scenes" page, as well as on top of that being the only version in the Memorial Album script, and then all of that on top of the "For the One I Love" page which says nothing about that scene's outcome being dependent on the player?
There's nothing up to interpretation here.
