Even with her much later introduction, Yuffie is adorably friendly and outgoing enough to bond with quickly. Unlike slotting Aerith into Tifa's role in the main narrative, which requires a full rewrite, Yuffie as Rosa still works fine. It just works better with Tifa.
She works fine, but she's more flippant and less there 'for' Aerith during the song.
I do recall her being the type to make dupes just to agree with herself. As if appeal to the masses isn't bad enough, appeal to the masses of oneself right?
In all seriousness I miss BB. Some of the most savage comebacks I've ever witnessed were aimed her way, and she always had them coming.
She was absolutely useless for a real, respectful debate though. Good for hilarious shit posts, awful for making genuine arguments to contrast your own beliefs and adjust your position accordingly.
Cali was the worst about dupes. Her and "her sister" and "her friend" natch. Funny how they all had the exact same IPs every time they posted and all sounded exactly alike.
Exactly. It can be a fine line to walk, you don't want to telegraph the twist entirely or pull the rug. But my is it exhilarating when you read or write that tightrope walk.
It doesn't even have to be that big of a twist. Sometimes the twist is a character coming to realize something that's been staring everyone else in the face for ages.
Could be interesting. I should probably set aside my antipathy for Squall and reexamine him from my more aged position. I might hate him less these days, especially outside his original appearance. Anything's possible.
FF8's translation was pretty bad in its own right, and lacking voice acting and facial expression made Squall's "why should I bother letting people get close to me if they're just going to leave me and make me sad again" very hard to convey in terms that aren't insufferable.
Which is usually worth a laugh for us bystanders. But in fairness, I used the phrasing "genuinely debate this position" which should imply actual support. Though as you and I always agreed, a vague disclaimer is no one's friend, so clarifying explicitly here is certainly not a bad thing.
The only time a vague disclaimer is a friend is when you can use it to your own advantage by exploiting a loophole. I of course want all of those for myself.
Rules Set resolutions do not exist to limit us, they exist that we might know our freedoms
But in seriousness, I was making visible progress with my shading way back. Limitations can in fact feel freeing when practicing this sort of thing, they help you reign yourself in a bit.
No, I get you. Generating sprite sheets for a GBA Fire Emblem is fascinating in just how tight the color pallette is and how clever you have to be with your 15 colors plus transparency no more no less.
Its such a thing these days, films that should be tv series exist side by side with TV series that would thrive for me if trimmed down into a film or two. Between pacing and bloat, this shit seems hard.
Slowly but surely people are learning.
I’m sorry I just find this so funny. WHAT?
Ah man, I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the fact that FF7 has such a passionate LTD.
BB wrote a Clerith Bible and would recite from it in lieu of responding to an argument on the regular.
Back in the day, we used to say "man, if only Square Enix would give Cloud and Tifa a kiss. That level of explicity would be the final nail in the coffin for sure"
Good times
It's the press release mentality. Same as it ever was. Every time C/T scores a point you deny it happened and claim the posts are 10 more yards down the field.
Now to be clear I don't recall if BB was ever caught doing this (Ryu could probably tell us, I see he's been refreshing his memory from round 6 at least) I'm just saying their character lines up with people who did. I seem to remember BB as some sort of boss Clerith prophet type when they weren't just insulting people. Unless I'm mixing them up? It all sounds pretty samey after a few hundred pages, let alone the number we've actually had, but I definitely remember BB driving sane, rational people into mouth frothing rage a time or two.
BB was not AFAIK ever found socking ON TLS. However I do know she runs multiple Clerith blogs on Tumblr and other sites and reblogs herself and uses herself as a source that way.
"Clerith prophet type" I would say is very on the money since she has a document that even she refers to as the Book of Clerith that she recites from. From what I've seen it's all the same old talking points about Tifa being jealous in the Shinra Jail Cell and other anti C/T and Z/A arguments that try and prove C/A by tearing down opposed ships.
Ahhh our naive youth. Wasted, because someone was wrong on the internet
Time ain't wasted if you're having fun. And sometimes screaming invectives at someone is just what the doctor ordered.
