FFVII

[silverthunder]

So, yeah, almost finished playing Final Fantasy VII. Just the Ruby and Emerald Weapons and the final boss to go (I'll beat them all. Eventually).

I realize I'm probably at least ten years too late playing this game, but whatever. It was good.

Some things to note:

1. Sephiroth is a douche. I mean, seriously? Why does everyone love him so much? I can't wait to take him out. Asshole.

2. I got to like Cloud much, much more after finding out his REAL backstory (what can I say? I'm a sucker for the underdog)

3. AT THE END OF THE FIRST DISC? WTF? I mean, I knew it happened, but ONLY ONE DISC IN? Also, I cried...

4. Red XIII kicks so much ass. He pretty well never left my party.

5. I think I would be perfectly happy to never see another Chocobo again...

6. The Gold Saucer music is not that good the first time you hear it, much less the millionth.

7. Must. Read. Fanfic...

Sooo, FFVII fans on my FL. Cloud/Tifa? Cloud/Aeris? Cloud/someone else? Convince me!

TSENG/RUFUS/ELENA is my favorite. I left the Aeris/Cloud, Tifa/Cloud wars behind and went to shipping the Turks.

I don't find the Turks all that interesting... I mean, they're okay, but I have no urge to ship them. I really, really want to ship Cloud, though.

Ship wars don't bother me.

Well, I would ship Cloud/Aeris, but she's kinda dead, and I don't really think Tifa liked Cloud all that much until she met him again in Midgar. ( I feel like I have a really confusing theory on Cloud/Aeris.)

Although, I do feel obligated to post this: (http://s62.photobucket.com/albums/h118/the_flowergirl/?action=view&current=zombieaeris.jpg)
You're welcome.

ZOMG! O.O;; I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT. IT IS KIND OF AWESOME. XD

I think both Cloud/Aeris and Cloud/Tifa have their flaws (aside from the obvious "she's kinda dead" with Aeris - but really, fandom can overcome these picky little details, right?). I agree with you that Tifa didn't seem to have any special feelings for Cloud before meeting him again in Midgar, but I don't think that makes me like them less as a pairing. Also, the fact that Aeris seemed to be mostly comparing Cloud to Zack at first doesn't make me like them less as a pairing, either. These are some of the things that make them interesting (at least to me).

I'd like to hear your theory on Cloud/Aeris!

I found that thing years ago. It never stops being relevant. Or funny.



My theory is this: Cloud/Aeris only works if she stays dead. The tragic romance angle works better if he's constantly pining over her.

[silverthunder]

I guess that would work better if you liked tragic romance stories! I can't say I totally hate them (Simon x Nia is one of my favs), and I... really can't see Aeris coming back to life anyway. But there is a lot that could be done with this pairing!

[the-flowergirl.livejournal.com]

I don't normally like tragic romances. This one just works better to me.

HAHAHA THAT'S AWESOME! I should've picked those options when I did this scene!

Every time I do, I always save. Right, Aeris is a delicate flower my ass. They didn't get the memo where she gets pissed off and starts punching everything.


That scene never stops being funny.
