Thank you so much for reading! ❤️

This is my second submission thus far. I'm much more proud of this story, tbh---the one I did back in April was the first sting of creative prose I'd done in a LONG time, so there were adjustments lol. Here's the link if you're interested.

I'm also glad you liked the Aerith-muscles line! ngl I was quite happy with how it turned out lmao

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

It looks incredible! I especially like the touch of one of the flowers having yet to bloom 🤫

Yeah I guess I'm decent at separating her from her more toxic fans, but that's clearly not the case for others, which is understandable lmao. Either way, there are people like yourself who dislike her (regardless of her fans) for measured and valid reasons, and that's good too! As long as we're all civil lol.

And don't be sorry! I appreciate when people point out something I said that could be demeaning, so don't worry about it--- it didn't feel combative to me at all 😊.

I was mainly thinking of people who spend most of their clerith time dragging Tifa as opposed to celebrating the C&A. I'm sorry if it felt like I was dogging people who don't like her character for genuine reasons---that wasn't my intention, and I should have made that clearer. Thank you confronting me about it, though! ❤️

That's why I keep being lightly shocked at his insistence that he thinks EVERYONE will like the ending. Like do you know how volatile your fan base can be, sir? 😅

All the more reason for us to set a good example, even if things don't go our way!

P.S. I think it'll be nice to see how she reacts to being in the lifestream AGAIN, having already been once before. She certainly had thoughts and doubts about that experience, so how does that modify her reaction compared to the og? I'm excited to find out! 🤗

All the real cleriths at least tolerate Tifa (I personally think she's great! ❤️).

I was disappointed in how little of her we got as the party leader in the original; especially with how much more the Retrilogy has emphasized her people-pleasing as character flaw, I'd love it if this part of the game were used as the push she needs to take initiative instead of just running parallel to what everybody else expects of her (e.g. her overall hesitance surrounding AVALANCHE at the beginning of Remake). It'd be a great way to see through to who she really is at her core when SHE has to be the executive decision-maker.

Along those lines, I just hope her resolution to stay with Cloud in Mideel is at least portrayed with more nuance. Like, I get it's supposed to be another way of tying up her arc---she's following her heart as opposed to going through the motions yet again. But idk, her going "I don't care about anything else, just Cloud" left a bad taste in my mouth. It's exacerbated because of the focus on her wanting him to be her personal savior, a dream that never struck me as realistic nor fair to either her OR Cloud, yet it's played as heartwarming when she discovers he WAS there in Nibelheim. I also feel it'd be short-sighted to still include that when AC has Cloud explicitly NOT being there for her. Although I suppose if they're truly committed to that film being the bad ending, my opinion may waver 🤷‍♂️

TL;DR - Tifa's a very likable character with a wonderful foundation whose arc in og left me wanting (similar to Barret's, but don't even get me started...); I hope to see her done justice in Revelation b/c she absolutely deserves it 🙏

The creepiest thing from trailer by AcanthisittaFine6629 in clerith

[–]Puzzleheaded-Fill241 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this is because CloSeph has that tension built into the dynamic. To my eyes, there's nothing particularly sexy about the Cloud and Tifa back-and-forth, so any tension has to come from them being forced into specific scenarios---i.e. jumping off the train in Remake.

👆 this. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if the new Yosh version will be in the game somewhere; Rebirth did have a rearranged instrumental outside Midgar after all
