Bruh, I iust noticed...
at the beginning of FF7 OG until around disc 2, all of Cloud's replies are based on the player's choices.
But, when Cloud regains his true self, you don't get to pick answers anymore. You don't have selections anymore.
Cloud thinks for himself.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director has "no intention" of altering the OG JRPG writer's "overarching story,"
Translation: Hamaguchi is not gonna be playing “Captain Save a C/A”
He’s not gonna be altering Nojima’s writing to save your bacon. 🥓 😌
this scene is so important to me!!
Tifa spends the entire story being strong for others & holding everything together
this is one of the few moments where she gets to break down and be the one who gets comforted
Cloud and Tifa’s relationship in FFVII is a unique, complex, & subversive take on the childhood friends-to-lovers trope. The many layers of depth in their relationship make their romance and bond far more compelling and relatable than most fantasy romances.
A thread🧵⬇️:
Nojima himself has said it
Player's decision only cause minor changes
We decided against allowing players to make big decisions to avoid impacts to the story
AKA, you can change what dress to wear, you can't change falling into the sewer
Still not over how Cloud hugs Tifa before kissing her, after affirming his feelings with "not one bit/hold on tightly"
Then he gazes into her eyes for consent.
He was so serious about their first kiss that he made sure they were both present, grounded, & on the same page 🫂💋
