The Greatest Mystery of Final Fantasy VII

[Max Payne]

What the fuck was with this scene? Exactly what was SE trying to imply here? Because I'm pretty sure everyone here got the impression of gay buttsex when they watched this scene.

Has anyone ever even bothered to question SE about this scene in an interview? Seriously what the fuck was going on in those offices to produce...this.

 

[Tennyo]

lol I know! I actually think this scene is one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen. Pitty none of the Ultimanias mention poor Mukki.

 

[Isabella]

I have mixed feelings about that scene. It's obviously supposed to be a double entendre for comedy's sake, but implied rape isn't exactly funny. :-\

 

[Max Payne]

I thought it was one of the most disturbing scenes I've ever seen in a video game and I have yet to see anything to rival it tbh.

 

[Mariketsu]

Oh I remember seeing this on youtube. That WAS an odd scene O.o very odd. I thought it was funny but something about it came off not-so-funny. I have yet to see anything rival it as well Dacon. I had to watch it several times over to figure out WHY and WHAT was happening. I still dont get it.

I always figured that what hurts is the tub being too crowded and Cloud is being pushed against the wall. ...In a non-sexual fashion.

Strangely enough, I never associated this scene with anything dirty. A bit difficult to see it as indecent even now.

What I consider the most traumatic moment is every time that Don Corneo does his humping motion.

 

[Mariketsu]

omg Shademp you put a HORRIBLE image of Don Corneo in my head nuuuuu!!!! My eyes, they bleed!!! And I have to agree that is very traumatic ._. blergh. Idk, that whole scene in the hottub was odd but it didnt seem to make sense to me.

The dialogue and sound effects are what made it out to be......well you know.

 

[Tennyo]

I think it was supposed to sound dirty but technically I don't think it really was. Weren't they all supposed to be washing each others' backs or something? Nothing overtly sexual, even though it was kind of pervy.

 

[ForceStealer]

Yeah, color me naive, but I always thought it hurt because it was simply too crowded.

 

[Ryushikaze]

I think the humor is supposed to be taking a non sexual (or rather, there being no actual sex) situation as more sexual than it really is.

Sort of like the "It's so big" fakeout.

It's a juvenile sex joke, yes, but I don't think we're supposed to think Cloud actually got it up the butt there.

 

[Max Payne]

I think the scene was badly handled imo. It seriously give off bad vibes.

 

[Isabella]

It's a juvenile sex joke, yes, but I don't think we're supposed to think Cloud actually got it up the butt there.

I agree that we're not supposed to take it as a literal sex scene but as a joke. The part where it gets a little fuzzy for me is that the sex joke is in conjunction with Cloud being unwilling, and even "hurting" and "feeling sick." Call me uptight, but even joking around with hints of rape is in really bad taste, IMO.

 

[Channy]

I think somebody squished Cloud's peepee, either purposefully or accidentally.

...Seriously, I think his peepee got squished.

 

[Arianna]

Honestly, when it comes to Final Fantasy VII, I think it was always meant to be much more 'adult' and much more dark then anyone expected. When the creators of AC(C) were saying that it was a dark story, I was thinking this very same thing. Makes you wonder...

 

[Joker]

Roffle.

I played this at the age of...*thinks*...12? And even then I took it as being a double entendre that was obviously based around the gay sex angle. It IS a brothel after all. Haha, the Honey Bees

But yus, Don Corneo was for more scarring for me.

*gyrates*

 

[namakemono]

Oh My God.

This scene has been impaled in my brain..since I was like, 7. My cousin was playing, and I just didn't get the whole thing. I was like "Ooh, are they in the pool?". Then I watche more..and I just really couldn't get it. "What hurt? Why would it hurt?" in my poor little mind I thought, he meant, if the tub water was too hot or something. And then I noticed everyone laughing.

Almost 7 years later, I try to play FFVII again...and it was only then that I realized, the..erm...undertones. That scene was freaky, and it took me 7 years of wondering, and know I'm laughing my ass off everytime I get reminded of it. Damn.

 

[Neo Bahamut]

I thought it was the overcrowding, too.

Alternatively, it could be the hot water.

But remember this: FFVII. Was. Full. Of. Sex. Jokes. Not all of them were done well.

In the Honeybee Inn, a lot of scenes with those guys are implied to have involved gay sex. But they didn't come across as buttraping characters.

 

[I Am Not Me]

I thought it was the overcrowding, too.

This too.

And I thought they were giving him a massage too. Gay buttsex only came into my mind after the whole scene... way, way, way after, when Cloud is battling shirtless Sephiroth.

OMFG. Just how much of this did I miss?!

Unless they were scrubbing him with a very hard pumice stone or something, I doubt massaging someone's back would hurt.

I just thought that it was overcrowded, like Shady said. I mean, really LOOK at how many men are in that little ass hot-tub? Cloud's pretty slender, he's bound to get squished against the walls of it at some point.

 

[ForceStealer]

Funny how many old threads DLPB resurrected.

 

[Neo Bahamut]

OMFG. Just how much of this did I miss?!

Good question. It's been ages since I actually played. I just have some vague recollection of a lot of double-entendres, in my younger years.

Trying to remember only brings up this conversation from CC:

"Who do you think is the hottest woman in Midgar? Me? I think it's Scarlet, the head of Weapons Development. That dress, those heels...I'd let her step on me, if you know what I mean."

Me (I talk back to my entertainment): Yeah...wait...what?

 

[Russell]

I thought it was the overcrowding, too.

Yep me to. I was only 14 when I first played it. (I just realised that's 10 years ago. >.< )

I was to young to think anything else.

 

[Neo Bahamut]

Thought of an example of FFVII's sexually oriented humor:

In the Nibelheim flashback, you can go into Tifa's house & panty raid her.

 

[paoo]

"It hurts.. your penis is in my ass."

^ Is that what Cloud meant? I think it hurts when you sit in a little bathtub with really big and sweaty guys.
