If I had a nickel for every time that Rude fell in love with a Avalanche member, I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
And first out the gate to be all "we always knew cloti was canon" is siliconera!
Okay, this is good, but also, we've been saying this for years and got told we were "just shippers", but the second they start seeing the writing on the wall it's like they're suddenly the most smart and observant about canon.
I just wanna confirm something. So I saw a video comparison of Cloud's reaction to his 3 potential date. he seems hesitate when Aerith and Yuffie asking him for date, to the point where both girls dragging him but he just goes along with Tifa without any problem.
so my question is, is there's a moment in Remake or Rebirth where Cloud saying no, decline or hesitate everytime Tifa said or suggest something?
Never. He's always eager to spend time with her and never refuses anything she offers. She's also really respectful to him and always asks if he'd like to spend time with her. She never drags him around and when she does take his hand at the GS, they mutually hold hands and walk forward together. When she hesitates he's always there to support and encourage her.
if i could add to your response to that ask, i don’t think there’s any reason for clotis to be nervous about how nojima would handle cloud and tifa even if he can be petty. he’s a cloti himself not because he has a personal bias, but because that’s just how the story he wrote goes. it’s not about preference to him but the narrative. plus with ff7 so far he’s only ever been petty about debunking shit takes about tifa. he’s GOATed for that 💯
Exactly. He writes cloti because that's the narrative he created. He also enjoys it. He originally wrote a simple scenario for AC that was between Cloud and Tifa. He wrote totp with Tifa's beautiful realisation she loves Cloud and wants to be with him for the rest of her life (and he literally said he was so proud of himself for her part of the novel too) and then he recently wrote Cloud's novella where he showed cloud did everything to be worthy of Tifa.
why are cleriths so hung up on THAT song NPTK? Even if it is directed at cloud, doesn't cloud also have a song where he says Tifa is his ONE and ONLY "TRUE LOVE"? Like?
Yeah, that'd be Midgar blues, which they ignore because it didn't get a massive highlight. It exists and it's about Cloud and Tifa though, so 🤷
No promises is about Zack. Only the first part includes Cloud where it talks about how she didn't notice time passing until she saw someone who reminded her of Zack. The lyrics are so much more straightforward in JP btw. Yet again the English bastardised it.
People took the affection system as a love triangle for so long when really it was just Jenova meta; the game wants us to feel like Cloud is our puppet and that we can control him. The player is Jenova. If you choose the high affection Tifa path, then you get more of real Cloud, and if you choose the low affection Tifa path, then you get more of puppet Cloud. But once Jenova is gone so are our choices; it's Tifa, because that's who it has always been for Cloud. You can't decide whether or not he spends the night with Tifa under the Highwind because they're his choices now.
Welp, they updated Remake to fix Tifa's shirt so it matches the continuity, and they finally fixed that awful mistranslation about the sky that Aerith says.
Maybe in four years they'll fix a bunch of shitty translations from Rebirth 🤣🤷
So nobody else has to replay to hear one fixed line. I mean wtf is "I miss the steel sky" anyway?! That literally makes no fucking sense and needs a ton of hoop jumping to make it work into the narrative. I'm glad they fixed this.
