Replaying the entirety of Kingdom Hearts on PC (what has been released for it). Just finished Re:COM and working on KH2 now.

My conspiracy theory with that is that it is meant to prime whoever they are recommending the series to. If you say one ship is canon, the prospective new player enters with that tint of lens. And therefore, they are more likely to ignore scenes in favor of the other ship or not notice as much...

Whether or not Maiden was ever considered canon at some point or not doesn’t really matter when later work contradicts it. I haven’t read Maiden so correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t it state that Aerith met Zack while selling flowers? That’s already out the window as current canon is that...

The LTD will never die. Not truly. But yes, I can see a certain percentage of CA shippers claiming that any CT romance in Part 3 is the result of harassment towards the devs.

The fact that one of the girls in the LTD got an optional kiss and the other didn’t is something that we all didn’t just dream. It still was not enough to stop the ship war. Cloud could bang Tifa every day after breakfast, lunch and dinner and raise a dozen kids with her… and the ship war...

There’s no way Zack is supportive of CA. He’s very clearly bothered by it. That being said, Zack is a good person and he still loves Aerith so he will still do everything he can to save her even if his love is unrequited in the end. This is why he tells Cloud to save her as well… because to...

Working my way through the Persona games again. Going backwards as I’m currently playing P5R and then I’ll do Persona 4 Golden.

Saying Aerith is allowed to move on has always been to invalidate ZA and nothing more. Especially since it never seems to apply to Cloud. Aerith is allowed to move on from Zack but it’s supposedly peak romance for Cloud to be pining after a dead woman for the rest of his life…

Any interpretation that hinges on mistranslation isn’t an interpretation. It’s just wrong. Especially now. The dialogue in the OG that is mistranslated is now widely known to be wrong. So anyone still clinging to it… is just wrong and I don’t take them seriously. Just like the people that...

Well, I might agree as far as novels and movies are concerned but I think Crisis Core is too important to really be ignored. Most CA fans likely ignore it because it promotes Zerith so heavily anyway. A lot of other newcomers seem to have no issue playing Crisis Core as it’s just another entry...

I think Aerith surviving the story not only changes the themes that are pretty much the core of what FFVII is but it also derails basically everything that happens in the second half of the story. At that point, it would just be an entirely new/different game. But I suppose that's what some...

Yeah, that trailer is the only time I would classify that they deliberately baited CA fans. Especially since a whole lot of them were super smug afterwards.

But wouldn't a CA ending be "hetero-normative" too?

"Tender" feelings being interpreted as "bruised" is just a super bad faith interpretation. Unfortunately, as mean as this sounds, it just screams of copium. In order for Cleriths to feel secure, they have to interpret Tifa as a toxic bully. Unfortunately, it just doesn't jive with the rest of...

I always expect it is really difficult to animate these kinds of scenes in any game so these kinds of camera tricks tend to be common.
