I'd lovvve it if they got coats. I love winter clothes. Even Cait Sith, I want to have a completely pointless coat.Or maybe everyone can buy coats!-

Actually, I'd love outfit changes throughout the game to fit the environment. Like - I don't care if everyone is in swim wear in Costa Del Sol (I'm from Arizona - and I can say that women here wear as little clothing as possible when we can get away with it - at U of A it was common to see shirtless men and women in just sports bras or in swim wear - it's really freaking hot guys).
So like everyone can bundle up in the snow and wear less at the beach. I mean - the party is a bunch of wanter terrorists so why not wear whatever helps you blend in.
And more outfits to cosplay!
Re - Kuja - I wonder why everyone got up in arms about Mevius when his outfit wasn't any worse than Kuja. That said - I think Mevius was hot and what bothered me was they redesigned Mevius at the same time they were brushing off complaints about Cindy (whose design is equally stupid - equally for a mechanic but that's another topic).
But in general I agree. I'm fine with fan service, but I'd like it to be spread out. Sexy men, sexy women, conservative men, conservative women - all body types and fan service for all interests. So long as it's not constant fan service and only fan service geared towards men.
They should get some warm clothing from the guy at Gaia Cliff after they pass out. I think it cuts to them in Junon after that whole black materia thing, so they wouldnt be in alt outfits for long.
They could just buy new clothes in Icicle Lodge.They should get some warm clothing from the guy at Gaia Cliff after they pass out. I think it cuts to them in Junon after that whole black materia thing, so they wouldnt be in alt outfits for long.

They could just put clothing stores all over the place. It could be a purely vanity thing, where you don't have to change their outfits if you don't want to, but if you wanna put them in reasonable clothing for story reasons, you have that option.
Then other stuff like, you can win a moogle costume from mog's house and dress people up like moogles.![]()
Maybe I described this poorly. It felt more manufactured to me in VII. I couldn't understand why Tifa would care so much about this asshole, that her entire world and existence becomes about taking care of him.

lol Okay. That's unfortunate. But oh well, your loss I guess.![]()
She cares about him, he's one of the last survivors of her hometown besides herself, she also knows AVALANCHE needs his expertise. And then over the course of the game she falls in love with him. You perception that Cloud is and asshole and nothing beyond that is what's skewed here, not Tifa's characterisation.
Also, Cait Sith outfit for Cait Sith.Eh, I played X-2 already. lol
I like the idea of changing outfits - or at the very least alterations to their iconic outfits depending on the climate.
I'm not gonna like it too much though because they're not gonna do it.![]()
I actually think that everyone dressing the way that they do on the Gaea cliffs is gonna look far, far more ridiculous and silly in HD than turn-based gameplay. I'd be surprised if they didn't do different outfits for at least the Gaea Cliffs and Costa Del Sol.I like the idea of changing outfits - or at the very least alterations to their iconic outfits depending on the climate.

You can not talk me out of feeling the way I feel about Cloud.
I always saw him as childish, annoying, detached, and utterly devoid of any redeeming qualities. When you find out he's been floating in a test tube for 5 years, so he's basically a 16 year old, it makes a lot of sense.
Cloud is a teenager who has an incredibly difficult time understanding how to interact with other people. He doesn't have a bad heart, he's just a big idiot.
I think the fact that he's so incredibly human ain't too bad of a quality for a game's "hero" to have. The fact that he stumbles and struggles and is full of fear and self doubt, but still is the guiding force in the party destroying Sephiroth, I think that makes for a good story.
I just, never really could understand why Tifa could possibly care about him. It comes off as this incredibly one-sided thing. Dialogue options allow you to be super mean to Tifa and no matter what, they're always gonna end up together whether Cloud is into her or not, because she's into him.
That is not a recipe for a healthy relationship. There should be more balance. Relationships aren't about one person taking care of the other person like they are their child, reciprocation is important. We don't know if Cloud loves Tifa or not, or else LTD wouldn't exist.
As someone with a bad habit of caring more about the happiness and well-being of romantic partners than my own happiness, I have conflicting feelings about it. On the one hand, I admire people that are even better than I am at being selfless and caring and full of unconditional love. I admire Tifa. But on the other hand, I worry about narratives depicting that. It's always horribly gendered, there's no getting around that. Men are allowed to be flawed and confused and struggle and women are supposed to be there for them and be patient with them. Unconditionally. No matter how they're treated in return. It's like every dumb sitcom with the bumbling husband and beautiful wife trope. I couldn't understand why Tifa would be willing to disregard her desires and her identity and worry solely about the well-being of this guy with no redeeming qualities who has never done a thing for her, and I assumed it was because, that's the male fantasy ain't it? Hot girl loves you no matter how dumb and flawed you are.
That being said, I will stand by her gaining depth later that justifies her self-sacrificing nature as something central to her character, rather than manufactured and incomprehensible. I have a lot more sympathy for her than I used to. I admire her patience and her kindness. Still think it's an imbalanced relationship, but I think they addressed that complex nature of it in On the Way to a Smile.
Also I'm sick of hearing about how Cloud is all Tifa has left of Nibelheim. I am well aware of that narrative justification, but no matter how many times I hear it it is not going to feel like anything other than a contrived excuse. It's equally as absurd to me as the whole "Rufus didn't know anything about deepground because he was sworn in too fast to be briefed on the project." It's an excuse, but I ain't buyin' it.
I get that Cloud has a trajectory and there comes a point in the game when he realizes he was being a big dick to everyone and apologizes for it. But he never stops being cold and distant. That's kinda his whole thing in AC/Case of Tifa.
Also, he does not admit to having feelings for Tifa in the lifestream, he admits to having had feelings for her when he was a child. That's not the same thing. Do not try to tell me you have the key to putting LTD to rest. Whether Cloud has feelings for Tifa is vague and undefined and left up to interpretation. And player choice.

I didn't intend to. I just thought it was silly that someone was trying to convince me Cloud's not an asshole when there are a lot of moments in the game where he's being just hilariously, inexcusably rude to people, and it's totally uncalled for. I remember one time realizing that because of dialogue options for the whole date mechanic, right after you leave Midgar for the first time, it give you 3 separate opportunities to be a dick to Aeris, Tifa, and Barret. How about that time he ditches Aeris in the seediest area of Wall Market so he can go get it on with Honeybee Inn ladies?First off, you can't use a screencap from the first 15 minutes of the game when Cloud is clearly putting on a front as evidence for his whole character.
