Cloud x Yuffie is adorable. Probably the only good thing in her life since the time Shinra invaded her homeland and killed her friends and mother* and turned her country into a resort. Forever disgracing her legendary monster dad in the process.

I don't know if she thought it was all that great because she's trying to tell him about her crush and he is just ice cold stonewalling her.

They both lost friends, so that is probably why. Cloud is still pretending to be Zack, so maybe something was lost in translation.


The date at the Saucer. She initiated it. It's a Japanese game, I don't know how they behave around age differences.

I would point to things in the Japanese that say Cloud will lose "the most important thing/person" to him in the Japanese, as well as just their instant chemistry and joke-y nature when compared to how Cloud and Tifa talk to each other. Their Gold Saucer dates really showcase this because Cloud at least gives Aerith some sorta response iirc, but really just walls Tifa out.

I love Tifa and it's undeniable that they have confused feelings for each other and that they gently caress before entering the North Crater, but I feel thematically it fits as Tifa kinda being the """"loser"""", paralleling how it's never clear in original FF7 if Aerith and Zack had a relationship or if Zack was just an unrequited love that Aerith had

Terper

Yeah, but Tifa and Cloud are BOTH losers

Like, yeah, obviously there were feelings there from Cloud to Aerith but she dies deader than death so Cloud has to move on. Also Cloud was pushing Tifa away because he was afraid of her realizing the truth/was himself confused about the truth and then they work it all out together and that's great!!!

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
The primary reason Cloud wields the Buster Sword is for its use in stimulating him anally. The massive girth and the blunt edges are enough to satisfy his anal curiosity without the mess or the inconvenience of interacting with another human being.

This explanation is why he is so nonplussed when engaging with the patrons of the Honeybee Inn, as he does not feel the various men entering his anus during the entire event.

They say in the FF7 Expanded Universe that Cloud Strife has an alter ego he goes by: Kirk Johnson.

That pairing seems abusive as gently caress considering Cid's abusive past and Vincent's passive nature.

I asked about this once. The origin seems to be that they share a room in the Gold Saucer and just kind of grew from there.

speaking of Cid, his massively abusive relationship with Shera has uh, not aged well either.

I mean, okay, "massively" is debatable but it's absolutely abusive and unhealthy.

I guess Cid/Vincent could work as a dom/sub thing.

e: Like, I can't see a Cid/Vincent relationship working as anything beyond a purely sexual relationship. They're both wildly different, and I can't really envision a scenario where Cid has actual respect for Vincent.

I will say that in the Japanese, Cid doesn't swear nearly as much, calling Sherra something like "idiot" or "blockhead", the English script just fake censors his words. What he's saying is pretty much the same, but his language is boosted. Barrett also gets his particularly badly. Him being cool, tough and joke-y in the remake trailers makes me very happy.

it's supposed to be abusive, cid is extremely bitter towards her and shera feels incredibly guilty and thinks she basically destroyed his life's work. it was never meant to be an example of a healthy relationship, it's just that when people played it and were like, 12, it kind of flew over their heads and they just thought cid had funny dialogue.

The problem is Vincent seems the sort who'd just lay there during sex, bored as gently caress and waiting for it to be over so he can go back to brooding. I'd argue he's the worst lay in the whole game, and possibly the franchise.

Good point, as he'd be bumbling and incompetent and would make an early errant shot. At least you kinda know what you get with Vincent, while Irvine is just going to disappoint after all his bluster.

It's not the sex with Irvine, which would probably be fine on its own, it's how he'd get super emotional afterwards and just bug you for hours asking what he can do to help around the house, do you want an omelette, need help with laundry, ffffffucking hell just get your goddamn dumb hat and leave and let me regret this alone you pathetic sadsack
