She does seem pretty thrilled that Cloud 'came'.

ikr

How come no one ever ships Cloud and Jessie, anyway?

i ship clessie, beetch

 

[null]

No, Null. No one confuses Cloud and Zack. Ever. It's unheard of.

And the ones who claim to see the difference are by far the most confused.

 

[looneymoon]

though I still dunno why he called Cloud a murderer. Was he only mad at him for the bombings or wat.

Because Cloud is really Paul Allen Patrick Bateman. Everyone just keeps getting his name and face confused.

...you like Huey Lewis and the News?

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

In '87, Huey released Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.

Hey Tabitha...

TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA NOW YOU FUCKING STUPID BASTARD! YOU, FUCKING BASTARD!

The really scary part is, that sounds exactly how looney would write a review about Huey Lewis. I didn't get it until the very end.

 

[Ryushikaze]

And they said you don't have a sense of humor

I know. Just like they said I don't have pants or parents.
Not shitting you on those, actually. Both things have been said about me. On several occasions. It was quite amusing when a former roommate of mine finally met my mother.

She does seem pretty thrilled that Cloud 'came'.

I'm reminded of AngelAlex's fic, right now.

How come no one ever ships Cloud and Jessie, anyway?

It happens, oddly enough, but not commonly.
I have seen C/A shippers who were also tangentially C/J shippers. Something about the Martyr angle, maybe.

'Cause Jessie's dead. Oh wait...

It's because she's dead and not Materia Jesus. Post Mortem C/A shippers tend to fall into the Materia Jesus camp.

And the ones who claim to see the difference are by far the most confused.

Difference, what difference? It's like the Doctor, isn't it? Cloud had Black hair, then he died and became Cloud with Blond hair, right?

 

[DrakeClawfang]

Because there's another dead brunette chick he couldn't save that's a lot hotter than her.

 

[Ryushikaze]

... Wedge?

Addendum: I've just remembered another glorious nonsense theory for FFVII- Zangan is Bugenhagen. All based on the comment from his letter to Tifa about not jumping so well anymore.

I really want a side story or Novella or something where Tifa heads off alone to meet with him one last time.

 

[Tifabelle]

Just like they said I don't have pants

ey?

That'd be cool. I'd like to see what she did between the Nibelheim incident & finding Cloud. I thought there would be a bit in CoT but it wasn't.

 

[ForceStealer]

Do we know what's happened to Zangan? There's nothing in particular that said he's died is there?

 

[Obsidian Fire]

Do we know what's happened to Zangan? There's nothing in particular that said he's died is there?

Now that is a good question. He's been around since the OG hasn't he?

 

[Tifabelle]

Unless there's something written in the Ultimania somewhere, I think he's still alive somewhere. He was only ever mentioned in the OG in flashbacks (and in LO). And that letter he wrote Tifa. But never seen or heard from again. Perhaps he's with Palmer.

 

[Sigbru]

I think most of Johnny's lines are just mistranslated beyond recognition. But I don't remember he ever saying he's from Nibelheim, it's just assumed since he's Cloud and Tifa's childhood friend. He has some scenes in Case of Denzel too, but I don't remember much about that

Zagan's letter:

"Tifa, what's happened to our town? Was it all an illusion, or just a dream? No, it was neither. I remember trying to get people out of the flames, but not having the strength... Burning with anger, I went to the reactor to kill Sephiroth."
"But he was nowhere to be found. Instead, I found you, collapsed inside. I felt saving you was far more important than going after Sephiroth. There were several others that were still alive inside, but I was only able to save you."
"As I was coming out of the reactor, Shinra troops were just arriving. I recall a scientist named Hojo was in charge. He ordered the troops to gather up everyone still alive for the experiment. I didn't know what type of experiment he was talking about, but I wasn't about to let them have my dearest student."
"Putting you on my back, I headed down the mountain to the village. I used the Cure spell on you many times."
"And started to head for Midgar to look for a doctor for you. I don't like that city, but my Cure spells weren't helping."
"I decided to go to Midgar to find a doctor I could trust. I'm worried about you, but I can't settle down in one place for very long. Have you recovered fully? Are you well?"
"I wonder how many years have passed since then? I just got into town again, but I can't believe it... The whole town is back to normal, except for the strange beings with black clothes all around..."
"The town reeks of Shinra, but I won't go after them. You may think I'm running from them, but it's just that I don't want anything to do with Shinra anymore. Feels like time is running out."
"I'm sure you'll find this letter. And this gift for you. It should come in handy. I can't even jump anymore. But I hope you continue to sharpen your skills and remember what I taught you."
"To my most precious student, From Zangan"

Seems he's probably being a hermit somewhere

Tifa needs her own story in the worst way. Case of Cloud As Seen Through the Bemused Eyes of Tifa doesn't count.

 

[Dashell]

How come no one ever ships Cloud and Jessie, anyway?

I do, also Tifa and Wedge

I'm reminded of AngelAlex's fic, right now.

Something someone said reminded you of something a Clerith once did? NO WAI

 

[Splintered]

I actually liked CoT a lot, although Cloud did some major hijacking in the second half. But for the most part it played out her story very well.

EDIT:
But I agree with the major sentiment.

Moar Tifa.

 

[Celes Chere]

Tifa and Wedge

Also, I always thought Cloud and Jessy were soooo cute together. I would have shipped them so hard if she had lived, I just know it. T^T I was so sad when she died, too.

 

[Winter]

It took me a long time to like Tifa, and I think it's because there's so little of FFVII's story that's hers and hers only. She's so tightly connected to Cloud you have to really dig to find details about just her.

shit sucks

also dude jessie had like, what. 2 minutes of screen time? why does anyone care

 

[null]

Something primarily covering Tifa's lost years would be awesome. Ideally I'd like to see her get her own game, or maybe share one with Barret. Realistically SE would just Dirge it up so instead, maybe an OVA?

 

[Splintered]

I've been an over obsessive fan of hers since I was eleven (not that you can tell from my subtle avatar and sig). She was one of the first female game characters that I thought was awesome.

Eh, I'm not sure how a game would play, but an OVA or another novella.

In fact, I would love to see an OVA covering other AVALANCHE members. I'd like to see Barret going into Avalanche, or Reeve's struggle in Shinra (Barret and Reeve<3)

The only way I could see a game for Tifa is if it took place during the AVALANCHE years, which would also cover Barret. Anything in the timeline after DoC would be hard to exclude Cloud. Not that it would matter, but it would be equal parts Cloud/Tifa.

I would take an OVA or Novella instead

There was a thread about this exact issue if anyone cares.

I liked that thread but it died

 

[minimosey]

I think I killed it. Oops.
