Re: What in canon do you ignore?

[(Anonymous)]

The entire Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. It just does not exist.

I think a lot of the older fans tend to agree that the quality is bad and the retconning is for the worse, but there are a lot of new fans whose first experiences were with Advent Children or Crisis Core, so understandably that's what they fell in love with.

Unfortunately for me, this means there's essentially no fandom. I hate virtually everything about the Compilation, and if I'm gonna read fic, they basically have to be written by or before the early 2000s.

Saaame. I usually listen to the word of god in most regards, but FF7 is a huge exception. I get irritated when people quote what a writer/developer said offhandedly (or otherwise) as proof that things are really x or y. I only have eyes for the game itself.

I've actually been meaning to write some FFVII fic lately, but as Ioathe Compilation myself, I'd be using the original game only as reference, and I'm sure it would be called OOC based on that. (Aeris/Aerith/what-have-you is not the Holy Virgin trope personified, goddamnit. She threatened to rip a man's balls off with no hesitation!)

er, *I loathe. Not sure what happened there.

Re: What in canon do you ignore?

I wrote a fic a few years ago and said right on the top "This fic is original game canon only". No one whined about it, but then again, it was about Barret, and I don't think many new fans know who he is lol

Agreed on Aeris though. Squaresoft killed her once, Square Enix killed her again. Hated her in Crisis Core, ugh.

Ahhh that's depressing lol. I adore Barret! His utterly diminished role in Compilation is...noticeable, to say the least. I also live an extremely lonely life shipping Barret/Tifa...

I joke around that the reason I still call her Aeris is because Aerith is a completely different character, haha. Aeris is the self-motivated, saucy li'l imp I fell in love with, Aerith is the girl that decided to wear pink because a boy told her she'd be pretty in it.

High-five fellow Barret/Tifa fan!

And I'm with you on the name thing. To me, "Aeris" represents who she was in the original game, an adorably naughty troll who is brave, independent and oh yeah saves the world. "Aerith" is a breathy, always cowering damsel who is made of cardboard and is afraid of the sky.

I've actually considered doing some game-only writing, but I don't really have any fandom friends in FFVII fandom, so nobody to talk it over with.
I'm a very late comer to fandom, and while I did actually watch AC before I played the original, I have no problem ignoring it as far as plot/characterization is concerned because it was annoying. It was annoying even without having played the game...
