    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Some cleanup might be an understatement xD That said, as long as P3 stays on track, we'll hopefully get a good enough explanation and a wrap-up for all this. Fingers crossed.

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    That reveal was the stuff of nightmares. Like, it was very, very obvious something was wrong and the game still got me with just how wrong it was. I swore to wring Yuna's neck for that, but, yeah... Edit to add: I played BoF3, 4, and Dragon Quarter

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Possible double post, sorry. But you know what? I'm wondering the same thing. But then, I also know not everyone shares my stance of "No opinion unless I've either experienced the thing or gained a solid enough understanding through external sources." I have no idea why they keep subjecting...

    A kiss would've been nice there, but I'll take it because that confession alone made up for it. Also, I think I remember reading somewhere that Horimiya started as a Web Novel/Comic? But yeah, I also heard it's crazier than the manga.

    This is fair. Admittedly, that was faster and punchier to say xD It's probably safer and more accurate to say that they don't 100% know the story and/or the characters they're talking about. Just watched YT clips, read surface level interpretations, played Disc 1 of OG only, etc. Edit to add...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    I'm afraid that Zack and Tifa's doppelgangers will show up and take their place and make the endgame pairing CA and ZT, because we are to assume Cloud would just take that lying down, I guess :mon: In all seriousness, though, they continue to prove how...most of them haven't really played the...

    I'm very much aware of that, and for the record I'm Asian. Southeast, but Asian nonetheless. I've definitely seen the type you're talking about, as it's not an isolated case (like Horimiya, which was written years ago but was animated recently, and even that one took 100 odd chapters in the...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    The ones my mom watched are like that (The Korean dramas) lol And I just remembered, one shoujo I watched that aired from Dec last year to Jan this year (but was written like a decade ago?) had an obvious romance that ran for nearly all 24 of its episodes. The last episode was the guy finally...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    I recall this vividly. If the main pair gets a kiss in a 90s shoujo, the story is almost over. And that's if they're lucky :mon:

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Just to piggyback off this, I've said elsewhere that at this point, given how the Retrilogy has thrown all subtlety out the window, about the only thing the devs have left to do is violate "Show, don't tell." ...which I hope they don't. My face hurts from all the bricks Retrilogy's sledgehammer...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Wonderful game that one, even if it's so poorly localized that everyone sounds like poets. Anyway, in that case, you'd remember that both Tim and Colette are very shy characters (to the point that even Colette's internal monologues are ran at 2x speed and are longer than her actual spoken...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    I saw it as romantic on my very quick watch, back when it was just part of leaks. On a closer watch, it was just very bittersweet to me, even without the comparison. That said, I agree with you. With Tifa's date just there for everyone to see, the difference between how Cloud reacts in each is...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Unless it's something like this (which the one in the CA date is demonstrably not), then no, hard disagree that sitting apart is a romantic trope. Edit: A little late to that party, but I just caught up haha

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    This is was my OG experience, and pretty much why, for the longest time, FF7 wasn't all that revolutionary (or even great, honestly) to me. Sure, it tackled some heavy topics, but I've seen enough media do the same. Even Aerith's death was ho-hum for me, apart from the slight shock when I...

    Ah, yes... This monstrosity... The progenitor of people in some anime communities saying a series "Usagi dropped."

    Well, now that my brain is nagging me to look for it, I know who to blame :mon: In all seriousness, though, if I didn't read that fic in MST3K format, I'm almost sure if it would've bothered me more. At least the commentary provided some breaks, if nothing else.

    I forgot who it was, but I actually read that response. It's how I know of that particular nightmare of a fic in the first place :mon:

    Oh gooood Kiznaiver.... That anime had such a good premise. It's really a shame that what you said happened.
