I play video games that have been out for years for the first time. follow for nostalgia tweets.

[Mel @meliciouslea]

Nah man I’m in it for the love of the game 😂

[Mel @meliciouslea]

(I have the whole week off work and bored someone fight me!)

[Mel @meliciouslea]

I have so many arguments I want to have. Just been waiting for someone to pick the fight. 🥀

[Mel @meliciouslea]

Oh and revisiting how the dates have to be wiped away going into Rev, making the kiss a double nothingburger with extra fries.

[Mel @meliciouslea]

@ItaloCasaes Dear Destiny? The novel that actually foreshadows Aerith having this whole realization about her feelings for Zack not being as deep as she once thought? That Dear Destiny? Did we read the same book?

[Mel @meliciouslea]

Not tryna pick on anyone in particular, but this is peak illiteracy.

Aerith specifically says she doesn’t know what kind of like it is. Meaning she doesn’t recognize the feeling she has for Cloud.

We know she’s familiar with familial love. We know she’s familiar with platonic

@lBillyPilgriml @Cleritious Um. The scene was specifically created to show that she absolutely doesn't love Cloud. Right after, she herself says that she likes Cloud but that there's different types of likes. You know who she does love? Zack.

[Mel @meliciouslea]

@empyrealviolet @theMaxTero And, to your point, it was added so late in production that it didn't even make it in the original JP release of the game. The literal definition of an afterthought.

[Mel @meliciouslea]

Literally.

[Mel @meliciouslea]

for Cloud than she did for Zack. Thats why she is confused. Thats why she can’t put a name to it yet. Because Cloud has redefined romantic love in her heart.

Honestly it’s such a common trope I’m getting secondhand embarrassment from watching yall pretend to not know it.

love (for her friends). And we know she believes she has felt real romantic love.

So then, why does she struggle to define what she feels for Cloud?

Because what she feels for Cloud actually TRANSCENDS what she previously thought of as romantic love. She feels more strongly

[Mel @meliciouslea]

Sorry yall but I think translation arguments are so boring. Partially because it’s low hanging fruit but mostly because I lowkey believe SENA has been given explicit instructions to make the EN localization as LTD ambiguous as possible. 🤷‍♀️

[Mel @meliciouslea]

@vmohv He is the face of some of the worst writing the compilation has to offer I fear.

[Mel @meliciouslea]

@aeiriths This is mental illness.

파이널 판타지 7하면 떠오르는 이 상징적인 이미지가 오직 에어리스를 구하고 싶다는 클라우드의 일념으로 탄생한 장면이라는 점이 참 좋음…

[Mel @meliciouslea]

@BlueGiraffeWeb @KenMastersUSA

[Mel @meliciouslea]

@SoulEater923 @mlwjrpg Which part of the compilation are the whispers from?

[Mel @meliciouslea]

@MonaShan7 @KenMastersUSA @RipcordTTV This is pretty much my thought as well. That Aerith (and possibly Cloud) can only be “active” in one timeline (or in one body/vessel) at a time.

[Mel @meliciouslea]

@mlwjrpg "You keep diminishing her importance" naw girl yall kept INFLATING her importance

[MissChief @M1ss_Chievous]

@nhamaguc Is Tifa even a main heroine for you guys? You keep diminishing her importance. It's always Cloud, Sephiroth, Aerith, and Zack that gets treated as the face of FF7. But Tifa never gets highlighted as a main heroine...

[Mel @meliciouslea]

@Terrryle Saw someone point out that she has her bow here, so we know it's not the timeline where Zack goes to meet Hojo, because he takes her bow in that one.
