It isn’t cool to suggest that, unlike FF8, 9, 10, a major theme running through FF7’s narrative is about love and romance. The topic is avoided like the plague by virtually everybody except shippers, but take the shipping out of it and you realise just how important it is to the

Aside from @FFVIImusic finding another great discovery, there's this little tidbit of info for those misunderstanding Tifa and her motivations in this game. No, she isn't intentionally trying to make Cloud worse by lying to him, she is doubting her own memories to the point of

Last thing about this scene: apparently, Tifa actually says something about the Whispers possibly having removed her memories of what happened at Nibelheim, which is why she doesn't remember Cloud being there. This was changed drastically in the English localization.

Can’t go one day without somebody reducing Tifa and Cloud’s attraction to her down to her body and lack of clothes as i’ve said before, just say you think Tifa is a piece of meat and stop trying to wax philosophical

@M1ss_Chievous @anageorcosmos @Falkurion @KenMastersUSA @StygianSis In order to make the claim you are making, you have to ignore -Cloud’s reaction to being told not to fall in love with her -Other moments like him being in awe and flustered seeing her in a dress, whereas that only happens w/ tifa when she’s wearing less clothes

If multiple universes exist inside FF7 what is the actual point in anything? There’s no stakes, no emotional weight. Aerith dies but oh well there’s at least 10+ more living in other universes anyway, Claudia dies, Jessie, Biggs, Wedge dies but who cares there’s 10+ more of them

@SafaiaArt So my conclusion.. Well my conclusion is the scene is a masterpiece, dripping in romantic tension and a healthy amount of romantic tropes to show just how dedicated to their craft these developers are in showing you the relationship development between Cloud and Tifa. The scene

This is how i’ve personally interpreted the Retrilogy and the events in the game. Just my opinion that is neither more or less correct than anyone else’s. Bearing in mind this is within the framework of what developers have stated multiple times about keeping things relatively

Aerith's face here is.. pretty hard to take, she looks almost happy for a moment, maybe expecting a better response from Cloud, before she looks somewhat crushed by what he said instead. I think it's at this point she really understands the difference between how they view their

The main culprit of this of course comes down to the kiss between Cloud and Tifa at the Gold Saucer, this being called OOC for Cloud's character or purely fanservice and nothing more or just a 'what if' scenario and so on. The problem is.. why would the developers do this? If

Shameless plug after Yamazaki-san’s great comments on the scene. Gives me even more appreciation for the amount of thought and work he and the other actors/VA’s/animators and more put into these scenes and what it means to them to create these moments for the players.

What I find interesting is that Cloud doesn't seem to have any idea, at first, of the place Aerith is alluding to. Infact she pretty much has to spell it out to him in order for him to get a clue, and even then he seems to essentially just follow her. In this regard Cloud

Next let's talk animation - Cloud's initial turn towards Tifa, the open mouth and then then the slight upcurl of the lips as he smiles - Tifa's joy at the fireworks before noticing Cloud's stare - Cloud's shock at being caught staring, before looking away and then moving closer

He is being kept in the delusion, either of his own making, or others. You're telling me Cloud would take this tone with Tifa despite no precedent of ever doing it before? That Aerith would just stare and smirk at Tifa like this as she sits grieving alone? If you're asking me,

Now you tell me which scenario is more logical in the way the games have played out, and how it will play out in Part 3. Which scenario is more attuned to the characters and the story of Final Fantasy 7? This is how the LTD is essentially split, at this point.
