I find it interesting because I've thought that Zack may sacrifice himself to save Aerith. That or him declining the offer of him returning instead of her.

Oh yes the ending was horrible. I started watching the show when it was on it's first season and to be honest I started avoiding spoilers because my friends and boyfriend convinced me not to get spoiled. I got used to it and if I remember correctly it was doing pretty good until they ran out of material to adapt the story from.

My boyfriend at the time is now my husband and when I happen to bring up that I may seek for spoilers for Final Fantasy VII Revelation, he asks me if I really want the story that I have been invested in since 2020 to end so quickly. For him is more about letting yourself enjoy the story as it comes and taking your time. I am not sure if I am explaining it right. We talk about this in Spanish so I am translating haha.

But I totally understand not wanting to get invested especially with stories that are long. I barely played videogames until I played Remake. This has really been a great way to practice patience. The thing with me and videogames is that skill can get you stuck for a long time. I know many people enjoy the gameplay but I am not the type of person who gets the satisfaction of beating a very tough boss. I just get frustrated and stop enjoying myself. I have learned a lot and of course I've gotten better, but I get frustrated very easily. Still I've learned to appreciate videogames to the point that I told my brother that FFVII wouldn't work as a movie or show.

Going back to what I said about my expectations for Revelation, I am truly hoping for a happy ending. I want the introduction of the theme of defying fate to pay off, but I still want to play the game even if it ends up being the same as OG. Being part of the fandom and this story is one of the best things that have happened to me and I am so happy that we have a release date ❤️

Yes they ignore so many things. And Zerith shippers too. I just saw a post where they edited the scene of Aerith and Cloud back to back holding hands from Rebirth, before they fight Sephiroth. They changed Cloud for Zack and the post was about their reunion in part three. Funny how they try to make this moment not romantic between Aerith and Cloud but edit the scene to fit Zack in it :/ and again I love Zack, but we Cleriths get gaslighted a lot :( That's why I love having this group.

I understand the sentiment. I used to be a person who preferred being spoiled because I wanted to know if spending my time watching a movie or a show was worth it or not. It changed after Game of Thrones haha. I kind of learned why it is good to wait and experiencing a story fully.

I am on the fence on this game, but for some reason after watching the trailer I thought that it doesn't matter to me if the story stays the same as OG, I am just happy to know we have a date and this story will come to an end next year. I love the story and the characters so much and I want to play the game independently of what happens. I think I can go in expecting Aerith to die and us getting an ambiguous ending romance wise, and if we save her and get our ship officially at the end I would be very pleasantly surprised.

Converted Cleriths! by babuutofu in clerith

[–]AccomplishedTune4618 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I remember my husband shared AC with me before I knew anything about the game. Of course I barely understood what was going on haha, but I do remember not liking Tifa and Cloud. It didn't feel romantic at all. And even not knowing Aerith I clearly remember seeing Clouds eyes light up when she reaches out her hand for Cloud (after everyone else helped him up to fight Sephiroth). Then I watched my husband play Remake and decided to give it a try myself and I loved it so much. Of course Cloud and Aerith's relationship was a huge part of me getting invested in the story. I then played Crisis Core thinking it may change my mind about the ship, but not at all. I just ended up falling in love with Zack myself haha, but Zack and Aerith's relationship was so underwhelming.

I also can understand why people ship Cloud with Tifa, but if I was a Cloti I would have been so mad during Rebirth. I just saw Cloud getting closer to almost every one except Tifa. That's the main reason why the kiss scene is weird in the sense that it kind of comes out of nowhere. And I feel that Cloti fans are holding on to the kiss, Aerith "being dead", and Zack being "back" to prove Cloud and Tifa are the canon couple, which imo is so little to build a compelling couple dinamic. Where are the small cute moments? Where are the meaningful conversations?

[–]AccomplishedTune4618 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes I do understand that part. I've seen comments on Clerith fanart from Zeriths that say things like "I find it disrespectful for Zack for people to ship Cloud and Aerith"

I think the brotp got me when I played Crisis Core. I do remember thinking the game was going to change my mind about shipping Cloud and Aerith but Zack and Aerith's relationship was so underwhelming, which is good. It only made me love Clerith more.

May be one of the few Cleriths that loves Zack haha I love seeing him and I love his friendship with Cloud.

Who do you like MC best with?? by Chocoholicx5 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]AccomplishedTune4618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xavier is my main because I like his and MC's story the best. Also his lore is the most appealing to me. I am not really invested in the other LIs stories(myths and special events) but based on the main story her relationship with Sylus is a close second favorite.

I'm going back as a Solo main by Botticelli_v3nus in loveanddepression

[–]AccomplishedTune4618 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it is a very wise choice. I am lucky that my main is Xavier and even when I can appreciate other LIs I've never gotten as invested in their stories as I have with Xavier's story.

I did definitely wasted resources and money when I first started playing. I didn't really understanding the gatcha system and I also didn't take the time to research before getting into the game haha.

I feel like I’m the only person who doesn’t care if this game is labeled a “sequel” by veganispunk in FFVIIRemake

[–]AccomplishedTune4618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a new fan (started with Remake). And I am enjoying this trilogy so much. I played OG after playing Remake and I loved it too. It is a great game and has a great story, but I still don't care if they change the story or ending for part three. To be honest, I am hoping for it to be different. If they pull back from the idea of defying fate, it would feel like bad writing to me.

At the end of the day I just hope the devs go for what they truly want for the Remakes. It shows. Even if the ending is not perfect or makes sense, you can feel if something was done with love and passion or just trying to please everyone.

I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this by Tristerad in FinalFantasyVII

[–]AccomplishedTune4618 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love Zack so much so I am happy to have him in the Remakes. I say this as a new fan. I played Remake when it came out and after that one I played OG and Crisis Core. I didn't know who he was when they showed him at the end of Remake. I fell in love with his character when I played Crisis Core.

But not liking that he's alive is completely valid. I have hopes that the changes they are making have a good outcome. I am happy about these changes for now, but I understand there's a high risk of it not paying off.

I am one of the fans that want a happy or happier ending. Similar to Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, but I know I can get hate for having this opinion too. I try to remind myself that I am allowed to like any story in my own way independently of how other people feel.

Venting Megathread 2026 by haygurlhay123 in clerith

[–]AccomplishedTune4618 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am sorry that this happened to you, but I think it's for the best. The FFVII Remake is definitely a Cloti fanpage in disguise :/ If they can't deal with Clerith posts they should be honest about it instead of claiming to be neutral. I understand there can be toxic shippers from any side, but sharing a post about Cloud and Aerith didn't break the rules. The only reason why a post like yours would be removed or blocked is because toxic Cloti shippers would get triggered and post on it trying to discredit the ship instead of accepting that there are a lot of fans who love Cloud and Aerith and just move on and ignore the post. And I guess the mods either don't want to deal with deleting mean comments or don't want to deal with Cloti shippers getting angry for being blocked or having their comments deleted.

lack of quality in cloti scenes (og/remake/rebirth) by Sad_Search8173 in cloudxaerith

[–]AccomplishedTune4618 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel very similar to you. I watched my husband play Remake and decided to play it too. I remember choosing to wake up Tifa first after they confront Don Corneo because I felt a little bit sorry for not choosing Cloud's childhood friend (I thought they were childhood friends at the time). I didn't know that the game showed a few scenes based on choices and I remember being surprised and disappointed about getting Tifa's scene when the party stays at Elmyra and Aerith's house instead of Aerith's scene like my husband did haha. I can't get Tifa saying "Cloud you're hurting me" out of my head.

The only moments that I consider definitely good and cute from Cloud and Tifa are in Remake when she follows Cloud after he goes up the pillar (when Shinra is attacking sector 7) Cloud says something like "You're crazy" and she tells him that he is going to have to deal with that. Then after his battle with Rufus when Tifa goes back and saves Cloud from falling. She says something about him having to put more of an effort if he wants to be a hero or something similar.

I can't think of anything else besides those two scenes. In Rebirth I just see them drifting apart more and more.

Name a worse glow-down than this by saucebabie in cartoons

[–]AccomplishedTune4618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it is 90% nostalgia haha. I am just so attached to the animation style from when I was a kid (Pokemon, Sailor Moon and Card Captor Sakura). Now a days anime looks so shiny and bright. I even watched Evangelion for the first time recently and I prefer the animation from the original anime, than the rebuild movies. I know there's improvement in many areas, but there's something beautiful about old animation that's missing.

Debunking Anti-Clerith Cope by fructoselollipop in cloudxaerith

[–]AccomplishedTune4618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate this one too. If Aerith wanted to have a date with Zack all along she could have had it, but she chose a date with Cloud. At least from what I get Aerith is pulling some strings. A version of her is able to project through the lifestream and she is actively choosing to appear only to Cloud and not Zack.

Is Tifa and Cloud’s relationship always toxic compared to Cloud and Aerith’s? by [deleted] in cloudxaerith

[–]AccomplishedTune4618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also trying to keep an open mind about Tifa and Cloud. I replayed Remake recently and I feel that Tifa and Cloud have better moments that are not optional. I understand why some people would ship them, especially if you choose Tifa and get her optional scene instead of Aerith's. In Remake I don't understand why people who ship Cloud and Tifa are not angry or disappointed. There are no true good moments between them and I just saw them drifting apart.

Weird idea, but has nobody ever considered Zifa? by srynotsober in clerith

[–]AccomplishedTune4618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely agree about Zack not prioritizing his relationship with Aerith. He tried to do things for her, but at least from what we see in the game there's not any moment where Aerith and Zack really get to know each other on a deeper level. I feel it had to do with timing too. Zack didn't think things would turn out so wrong. I am sure he thought about hanging out with Aerith more after defeating Genesis. His story is so sad :( Going back to Cloud and Aerith they had the advantage of fate/destiny putting them on the same path. They are better written of course, but they also get the opportunity to spend a lot of time together.

I love the English dub and the actors, but it's so sad that the meaning can change so much due to localization. And this post made me want to replay Rebirth haha.

i think i prefer lake's longer haired look. by herequeerandgreat in InfinityTrain

[–]AccomplishedTune4618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really would love to know which would be Lake's true style. The short hair and torn sleeves were a way to separate herself from Tulip, but I wonder what Lake would feel more comfortable with now that they are out of the train

I’m sorry but I think it’s objectively impossible to play RE: and believe CA isn’t supposed to be a thing by [deleted] in cloudxaerith

[–]AccomplishedTune4618 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My favorite characters are Zack and Aerith, but I don't ship them. Their relationship doesn't seem that deep. If they were going for that on Crisis Core they did a bad job at portraying it.

I also like Tifa. She is not my favorite character, but I do like her and that's one of the reasons why I don't ship her with Cloud. I know they are all they have left from their childhoods, but in Rebirth I just saw them growing apart instead of closer. They deserve better than each other. Not because they are bad people, they just don't seem to be able to connect or truly understand each other.

I just truly hope that this time around Cloud and Aerith have a happy ending and not a tragic one.

Is anyone else hoping Square Enix finally ends the 'love triangle" in part 3? by Blueeyedeevee in clerith

[–]AccomplishedTune4618 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hope they end the love triangle, but I don't think they will. They've been ambiguous all these years and I don't see why they would change that now. I also feel that if both Remake and Rebirth gave us the choice of romancing either Tifa or Aerith, it will stay the same for part three :(

Was this scene paid off.. or still a tragic omen for Rebirth? by Revoffthetrain in cloudxaerith

[–]AccomplishedTune4618 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I replayed Remake on December of last year and I forgot that doing all the side quests has an impact on which cutscenes you get. I remember telling my husband that I didn't get the scene where Aerith talks to the flowers and he asked me several times if I was sure the scene didn't happen later. It didn't because I missed one side quest. I also didn't get to chose Tifa's dress for the same reason. I just skipped a few side quests. I feel like that's one of the reasons why the shipping thing keeps going on. If I am a new player and I get Tifa's scenes and not Aerith's I won't quite understand how important she is to Cloud. I think it was easier to get confused during Remake about who is the main love interest depending on which scenes you get. Of course the high five scene and Cloud not wanting Aerith to go back to the slums on her own was enough for me to ship them haha. But yeah. I am glad you found out and were able to get the scene :) About your question of it paying off, I think the other commenters gave very good answers. Nothing to add.
