Oh admit it, if it was Aerith and Zack's destiny, you'd be all over it :P Okay so now I Just need ones that say Aerith is irreplaceable to Cloud and that they're inseparable :awesome:

and it was the Final Fantasy Art Collection, not an Ultimania that said that.

Here's another:
#065 AERITH GAINSBOROUGH
Going to the Promised Land… The fated meeting with Cloud wavers the fate of Aerith. The Cetra language that Aerith heard from her mother when she was young. A person who nurtures the Planet. As the last of the Ancient race, she takes it as her responsibility to go to the Promised Land that she has not seen. Aerith sees traces of Zack in Cloud and her very pure heart leads her to develop a liking for Cloud.

Of course this one says fated, but I already know where it's going :monster:

Um... Aerith IS Zack's destiny. =/ I'm already all over it. They met and it was described as THE CHOSEN DAY and then later, they are said to be irreplaceable existences to one another, and that they were inseparable. Mmkay. That's different than a whole new event(s) in the entire world happening because Cloud met the last remaining Cetra.

And I was talking about a different quote than yours. =P

Yeah okay... I'm glad Ryu could spell it out for me. :monster: This isn't hard stuff... Like Ryu said, they are actually in a relationship and form one almost immediately after meeting. Cloud and Aerith NEVER date (I know they go on a date, but they aren't DATING if you know what I mean). Never are described as sincerely in love, and never are described as an official relationship.

Not sure if I really wanna get into this again. Okay I Understand context and all that, I totally do, but if you think that Aerith loved Cloud more than Zack, then these quotes are important. They're not just talking about the plot in these IMO. Especially since a lot of them seem to focus on Cloud and Aerith, although I don't know how many have been translated or how many are out there. FOr all I know there's just as many about Cloud and Tifa.

EDIT
The full list for anyone who cares
#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.


#057 The Cetra were born from the Planet, speak with the Planet, and unlock the Planet. And....... then...... The Cetra will return to the Promised Land. A land that promises supreme happiness.

The heroes are nothing but a threat to the Planet. (??) Cloud and company decided to fight Sephiroth in the North Crater. They saw the miracle of the Lifestream. Time passed, and he (Red XIII) rides on for the city that promises wealth and prosperity. The days of fighting alongside people who protected this Planet…


#064 CLOUD STRIFE
Cloud’s misery all began 5 years ago. Cloud who is very stubborn about his own past is involved in this huge battle that saves the Planet. However, dream and reality… Cloud’s journey to retrieve and overcome the barrier he set for himself becomes a journey that saves the Planet.

“But I can't remain trapped in an illusion any more...... I'm going to live my life without pretending.”
(Cloud who decides to pick himself back up.)

“Memories of Aerith, we’ve got to set her free.”
(Before he decides to go for the last battle.)


#065 AERITH GAINSBOROUGH
Going to the Promised Land… The fated meeting with Cloud wavers the fate of Aerith. The Cetra language that Aerith heard from her mother when she was young. A person who nurtures the Planet. As the last of the Ancient race, she takes it as her responsibility to go to the Promised Land that she has not seen. Aerith sees traces of Zack in Cloud and her very pure heart leads her to develop a liking for Cloud.

“Well then, let's see...... How about if I go out with you once?”
(Payment for Cloud.)

“No, Cloud... I'm searching for you...”
(First and last date.)


AMANO CARDS

#073 Drawing of Tifa in monotone has a red colour. Talks about air of beauty. Just describes the painting. No comments after description.

#074 Here is Sephiroth who looks back. He feels tortured by his sorrows. What did he gain from it? This strong thought directs the final result of the story.

#075 Vincent who stands in the middle of a dark room. This is a self-image of Vincent and at the same time draws out the inner heart and self of Vincent. From that very kind look in his eyes, you can see the thought of abstinence from a sin that he does not intend to repay.

#076 Cloud and Red XIII who rest in the wet forest. We can think of it as a primary forest that has a lot of strange mushrooms and insects never touched by people. Special colours show the international view of FFVII and Cloud’s inner heart. Cloud’s sad and cold eyes are very impressionable.

#077 (Not too sure what this card says! XD) Cloud who fights… We see a strong sense of protection in his eyes. He who fights above sacrificing himself… fights to remove sadness… Sword holds his real power…

#078 Aerith who sleeps in Cloud’s hands. Mysterious black birds that flock in the dark room seem to be trying to lure Aerith into death. The black dress that surrounds Aerith’s body gives the strong image of a burial.

#079 Birds, butterflies and unbelievable/mysterious animals are in the midst of protecting Cloud, who tries to hold the fallen Aerith up. His eyes and his hands have the feeling of a final parting. We can feel his gentleness and sadness towards Aerith.

#080 Cloud and Red XIII who run in the darkness. From the strong looks in their eyes as they face front, we can feel their resolution to use their own powers to open the future. The two of them part from the darkness and run to the future, what kind of a tomorrow do they face.

#081 In the narrow corridor of time that is constantly changing, Aerith and Sephiroth who feel the Planet’s fate. From the sad atmosphere and air that the two of them have about them, you can feel the loneliness and sadness of people that carry the fate of the future. The two of them, in order to get to the future that their fate promises, walk towards the Promised Land.

----

#082 Cloud who looks up to the ShinRa Building in the middle of Midgar. In the taken away memories lie the secret that is kept deep inside his heart. When he is betrayed by the huge dream of the past, Cloud feels a strong sense of loss and starts on a journey to find himself again.


#083 Aerith who sends off the flying jet at Junon Airport. Aerith is an Ancient, her fate and bloodline…(not too sure). The Cetra were born from the Planet, speak with the Planet, and unlock the Planet. And then the Cetra will return to the Promised Land. The blood of the Cetra will bring Aerith to the Promised Land in order to obtain the promised future.


#111 The Planet’s largest amusement park is run by Dio. Cloud and company visit this place many times in their battle. They meet Cait Sith here. A promised date that ends in a magical night. In the city of desire that floats above the sands, the light memory of the two people is asleep even now... (??!!)

“I think I must have seen him again, in you... But you're different. Things are different... No, Cloud... I'm searching for you...”


#116 Sephiroth who holds all the power to change the fate of this Planet. Aerith goes to the City of the Ancients in order to stop Meteor. When the two opposing strong thoughts and meanings clash, a sad parting hits Cloud and company. Aerith who summons Holy on the altar in the water is suddenly attacked by Sephiroth’s long sword. The life that was returned to the Planet cannot return again.

“What about my pain? My fingers are tingling. My mouth is dry. My eyes are burning!”


#117 Cloud who buries Aerith in the lake in the Forgotten City as a final parting. The summoning of Holy changed her life in the end. Aerith saves the Planet with the Lifestream. As she is the only survivor of the Ancient race, the strong mission to live the fate pushes Cloud and company along. Above that, it is in order not to lose the thing they must protect.

“The secret is just up here. At least it should be. ...I feel it. It feels like I'm being led by something. Then, I'll be going now. I'll come back when it's all over.”
(In the Sleeping Forest, Aerith who appears in Cloud’s dream.)


#124 Cloud who decides to fight in the North Crater with Jenova and Sephiroth. He feels Sephiroth calling him deep into the Planet. Cloud challenges Sephiroth to a final battle. Sephiroth, who holds powers and skills that are much better than Cloud, is defeated. The gentle light of the Lifestream surrounds Cloud.

“Aerith's memories... Our memories... We came... to tell you... our memories... Come Planet! Show us your answer!”


#125 Sephiroth calls for the battle. In the Planet’s body, Sephiroth who fights and loses to Cloud. He invites Cloud to a final battle that brings him into a world of consciousness and thoughts. The two people’s thoughts that’s totally released starts a final battle that puts at stake all of themselves. Sephiroth, who is attacked by Cloud who uses his entire power, returns to the center of the Planet in a flash of light.

“I am becoming one with the Planet. Mother..... it's almost time.... Soon..... we will become one.”
(In the Temple of the Ancients.)


#126 The answer from the Planet, the Promised Land. Cloud who decides because of the consequences with Sephiroth finds an answer in himself. What kind of answer does the Planet give? Aerith’s prayer, everyone’s prayer, becomes one with Holy and moves Cloud and company out of the North Crater. They see the Lifestream’s light that surrounds the Planet, this is the Planet’s answer.

“......I think I'm beginning to understand. An answer from the Planet... the Promised Land... I think I can meet her... there.”

I wish we had more of them...
I don't really want to use them unless I know what the others say :P

And because I know everyone loves it. The youtard quote of the day!

If the new generation would actually play FF7, you will get all the answers you need about the whole love triangle thing. Forget all the bulls*** spin-off crap that came after and tarnished the name of an amazing game that didnt need anymore help. All it did was further give anyone who already thought 7 was over-rated more gunpower. Cloud clearly fancied Aeris and Aeris said straight-up to Cloud that her and Zack were never a serious couple. And Cloud rejected Tifa at the end of the game.

Let's see. Completely ignoring the compilation. Using Aeris. Tifa rejection theory. My guess is a 30+ year old woman.

I want to make nitpicky criticisms but I cba and that text on the images is really small and hurts my eyes.

Also these cards are missing half of these translated passages. Is there supposed to be more images?

Yeah, I, for one, would like FFG to get ALL the cards, not just the ones she thinks helps her cause, and in a legible resolution, because, well, the translation are just crap from the english quote alone. 'It wavers the destiny?'

Ryu is the only one with anything smart to say about it.

I looked around on some sites (Like FF7 merchandise) just to see if I could find the total number at least of the cards, but this must be some real obscure shit, because I couldn't find anything with information about the product, just it being sold.

It'd be nice to get a translation of Tifa's card, something that isn't 'Tifa is a dumb meathead slut (her big breasts attracting many men). She lusts useless after Cloud, only for her to realize he truly loves Aerith from the bottom of his heart. Therefore her feelings turn into that of a mother who cares for her child, helping him find the one that he loves.'

my babblefish translation is a thing of beauty.

loud and Aerith NEVER date (I know they go on a date, but they aren't DATING if you know what I mean). Never are described as sincerely in love, and never are described as an official relationship.

She's still a romantic interest in game, so I don't see why that other stuff matters, other than that her destiny as a Cetra > her destiny to bang more soldiers.

Cloud and Tifa never date either, but that has nothing to do with her being a romantic interest.

Responded to you elsewhere Celes.

Win.

As for the cards, has anyone who can read the Japanese tried taking quotes from the cards and googling them seeing if they can get more information? Just an idea.

She's a romantic choice in the game, come on now. Don't deny that.

NO Q DON'T YOU SEE

THERE IS NO AERITH DATE
THAT WAS TIFA PRETENDING TO BE AERITH

As the player you get the option of having Cloud say he likes sleeping next to Tifa, that he's his girlfriend, go on dates with her, get an extended scene under the airship with her with more expliciet subtext. How is that not a romantic interest.

This is pretty much 90% of all LTD arguments in a nutshell.

Yes. With a clerith claiming it's not the ladies who are pursuing Cloud but the other way around. And you have some sort of control over what Cloud feels and that somehow you can magically make Aerith a viable contender for his affection.
 
Kitase: When I first read Nojima’s scenario, I felt strongly that his image of a heroine was fresh. The hero didn’t have a typical personality, single-minded or righteous, and Aerith lived in the slums. Those things were really fresh. And having 2 heroines, Aerith and Tifa, and having the hero waver between them, at the time that was something new. And Sephiroth too, who appears from the start and is the final enemy, and is sort of a rival. For me personally, I think those things which weren’t in past FFs might be the secret to its popularity.

Just throwing it out there.
