I haven't played CC and, to be honest, I have absolutely no intention of doing so. None of the new canon has stood a candle to the original game in my opinion.

But I'm guessing the scene between Zack and Aeris that you mentioned is some wonderful, emotional, heart-filled moment that inspires shipping love. And that's great! I ship Zack/Aeris. I also ship Cloud/Aeris and Zack/Cloud and Zack/Cloud/Aeris and sometimes I'll mix Sephiroth in there at different points for funsies (though that's usually more a one-sided attraction than anything that ever actually happens). And while, for me personally, I can't see Zack/Cloud happening before Hojo captures them, five years stranded together with no one else to rely on but the other, suffering and being tortured and having to watch the other go through the same, then finally breaking free and having Zack carry Cloud to safety across two continents?

Whoa. That's pretty shippy stuff! No matter how great the scene you've mentioned is, I'm at a loss for why if someone ships Zack/Cloud more than Zack/Aeris, that one scene can outweigh the really strong shipping potential within Cloud and Zack's story.

Unless it's a truly fantastic scene. I haven't actually seen it.

Actually, this game killed my love for aeris and zack as a couple. The whole fower cart task was super annoying and, unfortunately, i just wanted to throttle aeris. Actually, zack was also annoying too. The only person i think came out good in this was sephiroth (pre-insanity)

You have a very good and practical approach to the sub-par spinoffs. Don't waste your time with CC, it's cheesy as fuck and retcons the original canon.

Man, people have strong Nostalgia Goggles. The original game was a storytelling nightmare. We figured it out because it was fun to work past the holes. Lighten up, they're just games. They may not be 60+ hours long but you can still have fun.
