AYRT - I don't like KH either. Agreed that Leon was better than FF7 characters and I haven't gotten past the first hour of FF8 admittedly.

But the "could be" thing you're saying is exactly how I feel about FF7 itself. Oh yeah, Tifa could be his Northern Star to Aerith's fireworks! Or could be the typhoon to Aerith's air. Or whatever. So affection mechanics favored Aerith in the OG! Maybe because there was something about her story that the devs wanted us to see and not because the character liked her better. So they had sex! But then he also had sex with Aerith because she was a prostitute! What a couple of hot takes, to say that "prostitutes can't love" or "sex is the end all". Was Cloud a necrophile? I mean even if I don't think so I could be wrong! So maybe according to KH Cloud's light is actually Zack! Tifa and Aerith were actually into eachother! etc. Honestly there are so many possible interpretations that if Sephiroth/Cloud became Remake endgame I wouldn't even be surprised. And I mean this in the best way possible. I love stories that leave room for interpretation.

True. Not sure if they will argue about it forever - maybe the Remake will bring some closure to it and with my track record it's not gonna be Clerith lol. Having said this, so far I enjoy knowing that there's a lot more to discuss with the few sane people in the room in terms of dynamics, types of feelings, and... you know, in real life we don't really have "endgames" because types of love can't be measured or compared objectively. I like works that make us think about it all rather than give answers.

I've wondered if the remake is going to give us more solid answers to some things. I recall one of the devs (Nojima maybe) saying they were worried that the remake was going to upset people because they'd realize their interpretations of the OG weren't correct. Whatever happens, it'll be an interesting ride, that's for sure. I look forward to whatever nonsense shippers come up with to discredit the other girl.

AYRT - Cloud aroace canon. No, I'm kidding. But maybe I am not? Who knows.

In my experience creators (even more so Japanese ones) love to give closure to love triangles. But I hate when they do that when the ship wars are too strong because it's like the other ship is the "loser" and gets "discredited" and it's like, bye bye happiness, bye bye fanworks, bye bye sane discussions, etc. Feels bad to feel kicked out of a fandom for something you enjoyed y'know? (Been there, seen that. Quite a few times actually. And it's Japan so it's usually the 'wifey' girl that gets the guy. ie the one I don't like.)

Honestly at this point I feel like they will go all the way with the Highwind stuff. It does make me sad though, because I was very excited for the Remake but then they changed stuff and the more I see the less passionate and the more "childhood, ruined" I feel about it. So I don't even get involved in the fandom aside from the occasional reblog on art, as much as I liked it way back, because I don't want to deal with a possible aftermath. And I really don't want to have my love (for the OG at least) be ruined.

I feel like we're going to get a solid cloti/zerith ending tbh, my biggest question is if Aerith and Zack will live or if their "reunion" will be in the lifestream. And while I can't deny I'd be happy about the cloti, I dread how even more unbearable my fandom will get and what changes the story will make to get us there.

AYRT - Probably, yes. It's probably also weird that I loved Zack/Aerith but at this point so much has changed that I feel a bit *shrug* about the entire "canon romance" aspect.

[(Anonymous)]

I've always liked zerith, though it was never otp status. But I admit that him showing up at her church and practicing what he was going to say to her kinda got me in my feelings about them. They're really cute.

Hopefully the romance aspect stays secondary to the main story and we can all find other things to enjoy if the ships don't play out the way we want them to.

DA
I JUST hope there will be no canon romance. Mostly because it's completely unneeded and also because I hate romances in Final Fantasy games. They're almost always really, really bad.

(Then again, at the rate the remake's going we don't have to worry about any of it for at least 10 years. Probably more.)
