Which is why it would have made more sense to me if Retrilogy is like: Crisis Core → FFVII OG → AC → Dirge of Cerberus → Retrilogy than Crisis Core → FFVII OG/Retrilogy → AC → Dirge of Cerberus. 🤷‍♀️

Now I want to see a comedy version of this. XD

To be honest, I'm in the camp that if the devs wanted to add expansions, new scenes, and so on, they could've (and should've) done all that without the Whispers. Besides, what's even the point of "we wanted to get the fandom talking" if at the same time they're also "we're not changing...

Well, I have seen others complain that SE has terrible PR. xD Who knows what they're actually thinking?

I guess in a way it makes sense? Theoretically, they'd have a wider reach since most of them are YouTubers, and more general audiences since they're posting "theories" (lol). And the devs did partially write the games in a way that would generate theories. Whether that was actually for the good...

I figured you were talking about the theorycrafters. :) And I do understand your point about the girls' roles, and I even agree. But at the same time, I'm like, "But it's theorycrafters", lmao. I mean, the few I watched were a lot like shippers in the way that they could take isolated lines --...

And just to repeat: this is the same fandom that took Sephiroth's gaslighting that Tifa isn't real to mean that Tifa is literally a Jenova clone. At some point, you just need to stop listening to fan interpretations. The story will still play out the way it will, regardless of how they...

I can't speak for Eerie, but I think what it boils down to isn't so much Aerith's decisions in the narrative, but the narrative decisions for both girls? Aerith: chooses the planet "over" Cloud (and her friends, sort of, considering she left alone). Tifa: chooses Cloud "over" the planet...

I think the trajectory for ZA is pretty clear. The devs set up two points: Marlene's: "She likes Cloud now!" And Aerith's own: "There's liking and liking." I expect both of these will have their answer when they reunite. Also, I'll just repeat: the devs seriously did not bring Zack back (for...

Oh, I know. But it still doesn't stop the very extreme CAs from holding it up as C/A proof on the scoreboard against C/T cameos. :') I mean, is it really a cameo? Or is it just scraping the bottom of the barrel?

CAs also cite Parasite Eve 2 as proof of "Cloud/Aerith" just because their names were mentioned there. And if I still recall correctly, Cloud was a virus that Aerith program fixed? XD Ryushikaze probably remembers better than me since he mentioned it before?

I honestly don't think the LTD is a concern - financial or otherwise - for SE? I mean, it's not like FF7 was built for an LTD? Aerith was always supposed to be like a shooting star (forget the original phrasing), like an exchange student who appears for one semester, then moves on. Or that...

I think they will clear both: "She likes Cloud now (duh, you weren't there)!" Though I might be paraphrasing that. "There is liking and liking." One is an answer for Zack, the other is an answer for Aerith herself. Also, I'm sorry that I'm too lazy to look this up in the thread, so I can't...

Well, I was going to add "to whatever capacity" after "feelings", but then I thought that regardless of the reason or nature of those feelings, Aerith did still have them at some point. :) And yes, I think that when she reunites with Zack (and the mysteries surrounding Cloud will be explained)...

I think it's that Aerith had feelings for Cloud and she died. To which I would like to raise Parasyte. xD

It's not really exclusive to FF7. In every fandom, the shippers who are only into the story just for their ship (usually non-canon) often "recruit" friends or family or strangers by saying that their ship is canon (may or may not be followed by "we were robbed"). It's not so much about being...

The "Tifa is an unimportant side character" usually comes from (extreme) Clerith shippers, "neutrals", and "both girls" crowds. What these groups have in common is that they fail to understand that Cloud's story only started from his love for Tifa. They think that Cloud's story started because...

Mass Effect had the same problem, kind of. The third game kind of started from the second game's DLC and as someone who did not have that DLC the first time around, I was just???? What is happening???? XD

Yeah, I really don't get that? I mean, if people treat characters like infinitely malleable paper dolls, doesn't it kind of defeat the purpose of fanfiction and shipping them? But I guess it's easier to use established characters as OCs in an established world? I don't know, lol. It's cool! The...

I don't actually have much to add because you said everything so comprehensively, but I just wanted to add to this: Because this is one of those things I don't get? If you villainize a character and then say that you're totally fine shipping them with another character because X character would...
