Oh and that's fine! I do think there's an interesting commentary here though on that line/mileage I mentioned. Because, how you described her involvement in AC, if you were to take the Remake and do the same for Tifa, HALF of what you'd say shouldn't be about her appearance, if even...

You....sure about that? I'd like to say really everywhere, though it could be more prominent in the US, but it's absolutely normal, if not expected, to tell people directly if they're pretty, beautiful, handsome, etc. Especially 8 to 12 year olds, kids really, as some form of praise in a way...

Haha, yeah...Twitter in a nutshell. The reasons behind people's thoughts provide variables that make conversations like this complicated. Though actually, there are things I don't totally agree with here either, which if I'm not mistaken is mostly just that her beauty intentionally written to be...

Haha Well, it just kind of seems like word choice affects how each of us are describing things, doesn't it? I've seen how this can be a huge wall in conversations based on observations. I think we can agree some words have connotations that are a little less reliable if your goal is to be as...

In KH2 before he goes off to chase Sephiroth? I'm not sure if every moment someone mentions returning/or someone waiting is a reference to the last scene of Loveless XD But the parallel can be made, I suppose.

It's surprisingly about the same, actually. The only real difference would be that of requesting someone "absolutely don't die" vs "take care of yourself", though contextually this is a sliver of a difference for the passage itself in what it's conveying. Everything else is pretty well on. I...

Which is funny, considering that in certain spots, it's really in reverse, in the sense of how indirect JPN can be vs that of the directness of ENG—the honed nature of the latter is missed for those who'd rather have ambiguity. All in all it depends on what people are criticizing—it varies a lot...

Yeah, which by the time we get this script his new mindset should be realized. My point was that using "dew" as a metaphorical threat to end the world is what doesn't make sense, in most of any context. It would need a lot more convincing context to illustrate this was meant to be understood...

One they'll eventually write epics about, I'm sure.

"Quenches" is essentially framed by that of the "become dew", which reading it as it is, while the word alone would make someone think "to end" the land, the cogs should turn when understanding it from what connotation can come from "dew". It may not fit a standard of good poetry, but there's...

A dew would be considered a miniscule drop of liquid, so it still coincides with the idea there if we're talking about size. It should be of note that in poetic/figurative settings, the way something is written can "cut corners" in what it's saying to sound a certain way. If someone has read it...

Yeah, "dew" should really be the signal that creates the implied "quenches [the thirst of] the land". Something good being given, like a "drop of hope" would compel. I'm also sure framing it this way of water and quenching with it thereof was probably inspired by the usage of 雫 [drop (of water)...

That doesn't lend to the idea of ranked significance to Resolution though my friends XD It's all just gameplay stuff and differing mechanic approaches. There's no sense in extrapolating purposes there from alt dresses to who has the preferred Resolution, this is a weird correlation. Especially...

@Eerie Why do that? I can inspect Aerith and Tifa's relationship with Cloud within this game for the sake of the story itself, but once I enter the territory of the purposeful setup of game mechanics for these Resolutions alongside it, the idea of there being a "preferred" makes no sense in...

Though, are you specifically talking about Tifa's Resolution being the preferred one to get (particularly as a first-time playthrough), or just generally about the devs wanting fans to prefer Tifa's character in a romantic view for Cloud? If for the Resolution in the Remake, I'd say "more...

Lol 24 years. Yeah, FF7's romantic storytelling (amongst other themes) has always been a bit subversive, though the mileage of this varies by the OG standards of who the Player got themselves to care about during their playthrough. The Remake offers something much more solid that is outside of...

I've often seen people saying ANYTHING in Dismantled should be considered noncanonical, especially in comparison to the FFVII Ultimania Omega. I really don't see why, though, ultimately. There is that level of the BentStuff staff writing things, such as captions or certain profile information...

Haha Thank you so much @Ultimasamune, I really appreciate that! Also, those example aren't going anywhere, so I hope that people can always go back to them for further study too! EDIT: I write too much lol (as you can tell from my documents), so I'll put the paratext/localization comment in...

Close! Peritext is almost literal in what "surrounds the text"—for the OG game, it would be more like that of the title, developer name, or descriptions/summary on the back of the case. Epitexts are things that are outside the text, such as interviews, company website, or even the guidebooks...

Yes yes I know! It is a small matter after all—I'm mostly just addressing that the reasons it's used in the US (which isn't limited to or origin of—the phrase isn't an American thing necessarily) doesn't have to be extrapolated to the same prospects of the game. In that, thinking Tifa...
