The Love Triangle Debate: Another Turn in the Cycle

[The Twilight Mexican]

@Strangelove
I stand corrected on the "mother's body" bit. I should have given that more than a second's thought. After years and years of seeing "mother" and "Reunion" in relation to Sephiroth, you just kind of gun it on auto-pilot.

I'm CloTi 4 lyfe but you know Cloud loved Aeris because he spent a bajillion years brooding over how it was his fault that she died and he couldn't save her. Dunno why people like romanticising the whole 'one love of your life' nonsense.
Also they totally banged IMO.

* i shouldn't have looked it up at all tbh because man it's annoying. the first link i found that linked directly to this starts off by complaining about cloud/tifa fans doing 'character assassination' on the poor french novel translator then spends paragraphs talking about how the english translators are biased incompetents. the french and german translators are all highly qualified with a deep knowledge of ff, but i guess they just picked the english translators off the street.

claiming that c/t fans now 'make up' a new definition of koibito when they actually did that! for years! constantly! and now it only has one meaning, the one that was wrong when it was talking about tifa in that reunion files quote! lol! no! no! fuck off lol

this is after years of saying you can't say anything definitive unless you have an 'official' english translation, yet when there is one suddenly you can just disregard it because you don't like what it says.

Well fwiw those people pushing things such as koi_____________bito and WacDonalds and "you can't know unless it's in English" are pretty much gone now. People like Shroudy, Anastar, FFG, Resha, Chibica... yeah they're all gone. This is a newer group of Cleriths. In fact I joined a Clerith Discord and I think only 3 people knew who I was... everyone was really nice though. Just chilling and talking about games and what not. There's a Cloti one too and honestly everyone seems pretty cool in both.

Part of me wishes they'd merge for a day or two because I bet people would get along for the most part... minus LTD stuff

the post i saw was from a blog run by someone who's been around since the Bad Days so i know they were around for the bullshit

i did see a quote by chibica i think for that sephiroth line and it was the only one that didn't go for 'mother's body' (i think it was 'prototype for the reunion' instead) so. good for her. i think it's a bit of an awkward line to translate but i couldn't see what the terrible awful dark horse ultimania went with on the tiny image i saw of the quote (and i don't want to go back to look for it)

it sounds dismissive but i hope all the older fans have aged out of it and been replaced with younger fans who are just chill and relaxed while i just sit here and remember it all like it's apocalypse now but really stupid

Oh... really? I don't know any of them that are still around. But okay that's my bad then.

It said something like "Sephiroth who took away everything from him" or something. Also wait is Chibica still translating?... I hadn't heard about her in ages.

It pretty much was honestly.

i mean the last part about the reunion, i've seen what the other part was because the post i found wouldn't stop mentioning how terrible it was

 

[Dashell]

Oh well that I can't answer... kinda makes you wish people would focus on stuff BESIDES the LTD in these things

EDIT
wait, I think I can find out...

@Strangelove


I really hope that works

I must bring in my usual interruption of, this is still a thing!?

Arianna, I am happy to see you on the boards again! Have you been lurking all this time?

It's mostly on tumblr and discord now. So... kinda sorta?

Cool. Thank you.

It’s like I said, Cloud loves both. In real life, you often fall in love with more than one person throughout your life for various reasons. FF7 made things real, including the romance aspect of the story. That said, I don’t think they ever had the opportunity to bang lol.

FF7 made things real, including the romance aspect of the story. His love for one doesn’t diminish his love for the other. And SE blatantly ships both of them in promotional media (especially Record Keeper and Brigade).

That said, I don’t think they ever had the opportunity to bang lol.

 

[Nandemoyasan]

Banging = love

Ov er sim pli fi ca ti on

 

[Random Nobody]

nobody said that.

 

[Dashell]

So someone is claiming we said something that no one said?... I guess some things never change

 

[Strangelove]

but i do love banging tho

and on some pointy rocks, forget about it

 

[Chaoticgumbo]

Has anybody seen the Dissidia Opera Omnia Twitter board? They were running a Cloud x Aerith vs Cloud x Tifa event on Valentines Day lol. Guess who won that poll?

 

[Clement Rage]

Aerti?

 

[Dashell]

The comment section on that poll was an absolute blast to read.

 

[jazzflower92]

The comment section on that poll was an absolute blast to read.

Was it a bloodbath?

 

[Chaoticgumbo]

The comment section on that poll was an absolute blast to read.

So much salt lol. And a majority of the comments/saltiness were from one particular shipping group. For being such a minority according to the poll (25% compared to 75% out of a sample size of greater than 7000!), they sure were extremely vocal. Focus more on supporting your own favorite pairing instead of attempting to tear the other ship down geez.
