I don't know. Why don't you go ask the person who compares C/T passed out in the church with dead bodies from a Civil War battlefield.

Well she's right, neither are romantic :monster:

But yeah that was a little... excessive on her part.

EDIT
there even said so there so no one thinks I'm hiding it from them or anything.

Don't worry Q. You fulfill your role as token Cloti over there very well.

And I don't remember anyone saying the scene was romantic. It's not exactly the right mood for that. But if anyone here denies the scene was meant to show a deep connection between C/T I will eat their face.

Eat it right off.

The one thing that always confused me about that image of Cloud and Tifa unconscious is why they used it for the "Cloud and Tifa" entry in the Crisis Core keyword Collection. I mean there HAD to be a better picture to use than one where they're both unconscious after one had passed out due to being beaten and the other due to a fatal disease.

Fuck ya'll. I think that scene is romantic. >=(
Kind of in the same way this scene is romantic:



Trish is unconscious, does that mean she doesn't love Dante? :loopy:

FHS, that cloti bitch
stopped reading right there

No, you didn't. :awesome:

My point here isn't that you guys can't/shouldn't talk about the same shit over and over again. I frequent this thread a lot, I've repeated myself and recycled old as fuck LTD conversations on more than one occasion. It's the fucking internet, we're all entitled to doing whatever the fuck we want to.

My point is that circlejerking over how awesome cloti is and how right you are doesn't really constitute as any sort of discussion, nor is it really that entertaining. Shit, I don't care if you do it. But don't think you're any better than the clerises, and don't think you're somehow changing their minds or proving them wrong. They seriously are not listening.

Zee's point about the Youtube thing is that we have established NUMEROUS times on this forum alone that Youtube comments are always fucking retarded. If you seriously consider "retarded youtube comments" good/new/interesting discussion in here that's kind of sad.

Which is actually a fantastic point. Agreed with 100%. And since I haven't really been active in the thread for a bit, I must have missed the circlejerk Too bad, it would have been fun. Anyway, your above quote makes a good point. The initial "you guys are pathetic" shit was lame, regardless of whether or not it was 'intended' as an example of the aforementioned 'good quote'. Probably looked good in design, but it failed on execution. This is much better.

And I'm at the end of my 'free days', so I'll probably miss the next Circlejerk, too. **waves** Catch up when I can. ((hugs thread))

I thought it was to! Not like in the outright in your face anime-blushy type scenario. Just romantic if you look at the scene in the point of view of the compilation. They are talking about the promise, The Nibelhiem song plays in the background, and it proves Clouds guilt, is not JUST Zack and Aerith, its his responsibility to protect those alive as well, and keep his promise. I always thought it showed alot of Clouds true emotional feelings for Tifa in that scene.

So its romantic in that point.

Trish is unconscious, does that mean she doesn't love Dante? :loopy:
Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! /Whiny dante.
:awesome: I dunno about that, but well, that moment forever sold it to me that Dante will always love Trish, unconscious or not.

Okay, okay. I just wanted an excuse to post it. :awesome:

But no srsly, I think that scene is romantic. x'D Basically everything Shu said. Why in the hell would they bother adding that kind of music, while having the camera pan over Cloud and Tifa in such a way? The fact that Cloud comes rushing to her and even holds her at all means something. I can't believe some think that Cloud looks like he doesn't care in this scene. :eye rolling goes here:. This scene is all about caring for Tifa!

If they just wanted to show two people beaten up, they wouldn't have bothered with the music, and the lingering Cloud/Tifa shot. Mmm durrr.

I completely agree. I'm not sure if its just real bad timing, or if the Geostigma thing has abit of a link to Clouds guilt (Can't remember, plausible figuring the whole Sephiroth-Jenova theme of the illness) but I always took that part where his arm went crazy on him and started melting as a bit of a look at HOW important it is to Cloud that he fucks up and can't rescue Tifa like he'd like to.

That and the wolf that symbolizes Clouds guilt kind of reinforces his will to protect Tifa and failing had something to do with his panic attack. Thats romantic to me, just in a more subtle way. The emotion behind the scene is romantic D:

I know the argument Cloud also holds Kadaj gets brought up (are you serious? Really?) But Cloud hasn't shared mutual feelings of desire with Kadaj.(To my knowledge. :awesome: ) That and Tifa and Cloud weren't just trying to kill eachother.

I really hate when this gets brought up too: "If Cloud were holding Barret the same way, it wouldn't be romantic". Of COURSE it wouldn't. They haven't exchanged feelings either, lol. Though if Barret and Cloud were laying in the same way with that sort of music playing, I would be a little concerned... xD And of course, replace Tifa in this scene with Aerith and it will instantly become a romance. MAN I am rolling my eyes a lot! :lol:

Speaking of destiny... okay we weren't but... the important of that "destined encounter" quote with Zack has come up before.

#056 Stealing the Planet from Mother…
Calamity from the skies… Aerith who sells flowers in Midgar saw the commotion and felt uneasy. (something about Avalanche against ShinRa) At the same time, Cloud joins Avalanche in their bombing activities. Aerith meets Cloud and their destinies collide. They start a journey to the Promised Land. A battle that puts the Planet’s future at stake takes place.

From the Final Fantasy Art collection... any thoughts?

I don't look at things without the original text because I'm an ~elitist snob~ who likes to see things for myself :sadpanda:

Then again there were other 'destiny' quotes for Cloud and Aerith (stuff in the 10th Anniversary Ultimania, mostly).

The one thing that always confused me about that image of Cloud and Tifa unconscious is why they used it for the "Cloud and Tifa" entry in the Crisis Core keyword Collection. I mean there HAD to be a better picture to use than one where they're both unconscious after one had passed out due to being beaten and the other due to a fatal disease.
That's not the picture they originally used in the book, which was a screenshot from the Highwind scene from the original game (specifically the 'words aren't the only way...' line) and a shot from AC (when it's night after Tifa wakes up in Seventh Heaven).

Mako adds the images, and more than the book originally had, and I think he does try to replicate the same images used originally. Like for the Dissidia stuff, he went and found out images of the same scenes from the English versions of the games to use. Maybe not as rigidly with the CC stuff. I guess he didn't think it would matter as much as with the Dissidia ones there it was usually a very exact reference, whereas the CC images are just. Images, mostly :monster:

Not to belittle anyone's discussions on the romanticness of the other scene :awesome:

OMG CANON!!! :awesome:

It means exactly what you think it means Q. That the Zack destiny line is just as romantic as this one. Which is, nothing worth looking at twice in terms of romance.

What is that saying beyond "their roads will meet on their quest to save the planet"?
Note the paragraph listing a chain of events that lead two major players to the final battle

Okay but some have said the word destiny is very important when it comes to Aerith and Zack so I want to hear their thoughts on it this time.

It's none of them :awesome:

Great so... do any of them say anything about the Gold Saucer date?

Semantic and possible pedantic observation re: destiny

Destinies colliding generally implies comradery, whereas it intertwining typically implies intimacy.

Converging is also generally in the comrade sense as well.

A destined encounter- one its own- means technically little. However, using the phrase to refer to people IN A RELATIONSHIP is actually pretty heavy shit.

Especially if you even remotely believe in red string romance.

To sum up, not all destiny is the same destiny. A destined encounter is different from a shared or colliding destiny is different from an intertwining one.


ON THE CARDS
None of them mention the saucer date as far as I can see.

How about the ladies who want to use these as proof pony up the scans.

LIKE I ASKED ONE OF THEM TO DO PERSONALLY.

Aerith and Cloud's destinies do COLLIDE. I don't get how it's romantic? Lol. Obviously... the wheel of destiny starts turning according to whatever the fuck Ultimania said it. It's called... THE PLOT LINE!
