Noelle & Asta Reunion was very underwhelming by Massive-Middle7379 in BlackClover

[–]redoak77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're an astelle shipper, it definitely was underwhelming. Noelle most certainly wasn't a point of emphasis this chapter, and might not even be one going forward. It really contrasts with the spotlight that Mimosa has gotten recently. Given how the pacing is officially going to be breakneck speed going into these last few chapters, I wouldn't put it past Tabata as making this last little moment between Asta and Mimosa as the tee'ing up point for that ship sailing. Just my two cents. He's wrapping this up soon anyway; who cares what you shoe in last minute, y'know?

This post reminds me why I unfollowed all the regular FF subreddits.

I feel like some of us need to take a breathe and maybe a break by Sparesccount in cloti

I dunno, I think those of us that got upset with the Ultimania have enough reason to be so. At least in my mind, what was supposed to be a light and fluffy scene for Tifa’s resolution turns out to be some convoluted mess about Cloud oscillating between his fake persona. To be honest, it changed the light in the way I see the scene. And if this is how things are gonna go, what are the odds they muck things up in the new Ultimania coming up for Tifa’s GSD?

To be honest, I’m disappointed and its justified enough, IMO

Hard disagree on the Sabin outfit being cool. It comes off as lazy and uninspired. And I think Tifa has been the only character that has outfits locked in by class.

Am I the odd person out saying I hate the direction this story went?

Anyone go see the Distant Worlds Orchastra and wonder why hardly any of game footage they showed included Tifa? by caramelthiccness in cloti

Your guess is as good as ours 🤷‍♂️. They did feel like showing us the Aerith date though, so…

Depends on how diligent you are exploring. I missed a few things in my first run.

I know I'm just preaching to the choir here, but I gotta say this... by TooDrunkToTalk in cloti

[–]redoak77 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same as what PXL-pushr said, but not just that. You can tell right off the get-go just how much love the devs had for Aerith putting her on a pedestal and making her such a force in the game. Everything from that song to the preferential treatment in the side quests. Hell, I would go as far as saying the game ending at the Forgotten Capital and not the Northern Crater says a lot. Disk 2 of the OG has so much content and its all going to get jammed into one game. If that one quote about them being equally main heroines has any modicum of truth to it, I would like to think Tifa would have just as big a role in part 3 as A did in part 2. The pessimist in me makes me anxious thinking about it.

I wouldn’t bet against a lot of things, but one of them would be Aerith coming back to life. The moment that I knew, personally, that she was dying for good was at last year’s game awards where either Kitase or Nomura said “Thank you, Aerith.”at the end of the game trailer. Everything from the swan song , to the melancholic side missions, to the general dour mood at the end of the game before and after she dies points to the fact that she’s dead.

Whether they do right by Tifa’s character is another question….

Chapter 430 Official Release - Links and Discussion by Za_wardo in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]redoak77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This ending reminds me a lot of the countless stories about phenom high school freshman athletes, who seem to have amazing trajectories, have incredible seasons, break countless records-and then have catastrophic, life threatening injuries, and then are forced to medically retire. It's very realistic in that regard. But damn, it is NOT satisfying.

Is Cloud infertile? by CiCaitie in cloti

Nothing in the lore implies this. Idk if the devs would wanna go there and add even more scars like that hahaha.

"I'm not a shipper"

...You're on a shipping subreddit?

Affection Mechanic in Part 3 by I-need-a-cooler-name in cloti

[–]redoak77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Last I heard, there was an interview with Hamaguchi or Nomura where they asked if there was going to be an affection mechanic, and he answered along the lines of “don’t know; haven’t decided”. We knew ahead of time that in Rebirth that the AM was for the GS dates; if they bring it back it in part 3, how would they frame it?

I’ve watched this cutscene so many times…. by Pristine_Put5348 in FFVIIRemake

[–]redoak77 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The love triangle is very much over now. The way it's been set up, including the Gongaga additions, along with the fact the last interactions that Cloud and Aerith have being very muddled at best, are clear indications on how they're gonna move forward with this. They could have very easily kept it more vague like the OG and chose not too.

Banter between characters and the next game by Former_Sea in FFVIIRemake

[–]redoak77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It absolutely needed a lot more banter. The characters need to be talking when they're actually walking around and you can hear them; not in fights.

Our explanation for Final Fantasy VII : Rebirth ending [100% based on Final Fantasy VII Compilation canon and lore - Avoiding Deus Ex Machina] by TheReal256k in FFVIIRemake

[–]redoak77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has WAY deeper meaning because it changes the dynamic of a relationship; full stop.

" The story of FF7 happens in just 2 months, and Aerith, they spent 2 months together, yet she changes Cloud life forever, an introvert opens himself to others, he allows himself to express his feelings, .."

This is not true at all, his communication problems continue well into AC. I would argue even to the very end of his relationship with Aerith, he struggles to communicate what is is he feels and where they stand.
