Re: Love Triangle Discussion
That's the one I was thinking of
Since ACF is dead, I can't just copy-paste what I thought was wrong with that. So I'll start anew. I had a cleaner version of that, since that one isn't very smooth, but I can't seem to find it.
For my, and anyone else's, reference, the original:

'Delicate' is a definition of the word (kiwadoi). But denying others exist is just stupid. Here's 4 dictionaries, two Japanese-English and two Japanese-Japanese, saying it means 'risqué, suggestive' as well.
If you think about the larger context and what they mention afterwards, 'suggestive' seems to make more sense.
They didn't call it a problem or problematic. They call it 'an important, vital thing' (juuyou na koto).
The fact that you have to take a translation of an interview and then decypher what it really says seems wrong to me. These are interviews about a piece of entertainment, not the Dead Sea Scrolls. They shouldn't need going over to explain what they are actually trying to say.
Also, thanks to Google, here's my version (with some extra touching up added just now) Bask in its readable English:
Another problem with this scene in the finished game is the English script. The ellipsis of rejection. In English, it's:
Tifa: "words feelings"
Cloud: "......."
Which people have taken as meaning he's turning her down or was being cold to her (along with many examples from other scenes/games showing how ....... = do not want). But it's meant to be:
Tifa: "words feelings"
Cloud: "Tifa......"
On my searchings, I managed to find a version I did on a Clerith site, complete with dissecting the meanings of 'risqué/suggestive' and how implying 'lewd, improper sex' doesn't mean love. But again, this is fiction. People having sex, in fiction, usually means something important about their relationship.

They liked to insist that 'risqué' wasn't a meaning of the word used here, last I saw.

Makes no sense, as the dialogue in question was used in the game already.

) But ever since the compliation i like the CloudxTifa and AerithxZack pairings better as those pairing seem to have more development around them.
