I remember a discussion with my friends about how you not just expected Aeris to be sweet innocent flowah~, but also Tifa to be the spunky, sassy and flirty one and how neat it was to be wrong about them.

Heck, that goes for a lot of things in this game.

What they did to Lucrezia still pisses me off a bit.

Oh god, Lucrezia. In FFVII, I just assumed she picked Hojo. And that was kind of cool, for this crazy mad scientist to still have someone who loved him, and she was probably kind of crazy too.

Dirge of Cerberus was just, I don't know, there are no words. Besides: "I'm so sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry"..

That's what I assumed too! And that while she liked Vincent, she didn't love him.

Ugh, I tried to cherry-pick from the Complication for a while but nowadays I just don't bother. Lemme have my silly headcanons and morally gray female characters!

When I started the game, I actually didn't know much about Zack's past. I admit I thought that it would have been kind of cool if Zack and Cloud had hardly known each other before the labs, and bonded there. Out of all the things canon did though, I can't say that backstory specifically was such a disaster.
There are things in the Compilation that I don't hate, but overall it's sometimes more fun to just ignore all of it >_>

da
Yeah I pretty much hate Zack in the compilation myself and all the retcon/bad storytelling in what he's involved in. I always wondered how well Cloud and Zack actually knew one another before the labs. I assume they were at least on friendly speaking terms, judging by Cloud's flashback where he makes conversation with the nameless guard that's actually him. I do think that Cloud probably aspired to be Zack, but mostly becomes of his admiration for Sephiroth and how Zack got the role he wanted - which is why Cloud's craziness caused him to mentally replace Zack with himself.

But anyway I could definitely see them not becoming really close until the labs. At any rate surely that strengthened their relationship.

I think that one of the mistakes they make is trying to tighten the parallels too far. Having Cloud have a lot of parallels to Zack makes sense, given that Cloud adopted his personality and memories to some extent (though I do think that some of his interest in Aeris was genuine, and I think she did feel for him as himself and not just as reminiscent of Zack).
But it's okay to have some things that don't tie in! Like the sword - Cloud inheriting the Buster is one thing, but did Zack have to inherit it too?
And in AC - I would really have liked to see Cloud work a bit more past his connection to Zack, and win under his own power and personality (that was one of the few additions in AC:C that I hated).
