Re: FFVII remake

[(Anonymous)]

Some of this stuff you're really reaching on, Aeris' death is a major plot point that isn't merely a fridging, etc. (Or do you think any female character's death qualifies as fridging whether or not it actually meets the definition?)

But Barret's dialogue is a result of the localization (he doesn't sound like Mr. T in the Japanese release) and that will probably be changed.

Fridging: A female character who is killed to advance a males story arch, to provide angst and character development for a male. Aeris was killed so that could and the presumed male player have a reason to hate Sephiroth and desperately want to stop his plans. Unnecessary female death used to motivate the male character.

The whole group is affected by her death. More to the point, she's not merely discarded after death but continues to play a role in the plot. If it's a fridging, it's a subversion of such.

Yes,but the only effect we see 'the group' show is sad faces and a prolonged scene of clouds manpain.

Re: FFVII remake

DA

Actually, we see Cloud's manpain then the rest of the group tells him to get up and get going because they're hurting too but manpain helps no one. Then Cloud does. Did you forget that part?

Re: FFVII remake

Of course they did, because it runs counter to the narrative they've got in their head.

Re: FFVII remake

AFAIK they edited the scene in the PC port to add more mourning.

I think they actually did tone down Barret's Mr. T impersonation, at least, in the PC port that's on Steam r/n. I noticed it wasn't nearly as obvious as it was when I first played the game on PSX.

And def. agreed... Aerith's death wasn't a fridging. Not in the slightest, because like an anon above/below me said, the entire group was affected by it and gave them all motivation to stop Sephiroth (aside from saving the Planet, of course).
