You should - simply because I think its often misinterpreted by factions looking for one line answers. Aeris says she loves Cloud's romantically in the first few paragraphs, ergo, Aeris' love in AC towards Cloud is romantic. Not true. The whole drive of Maiden is to show how Aeris, romantically...

Not according to Maiden. The Cloud Aeris loves is the one built from Zack who she thinks is the real Cloud. It's not till she's dead does she realise the Cloud she romantically loved was the Cloud who was based on false memories and ideologies induced from strong JENOVA influences and a desire...

I've got to reply here, because I think if you understand why people debate, the forum itself might not get so defensive about the "debate". Why do people debate about the Iraq war? Why do people debate about soap operas? Or why person X down the street has a brown bin rather than a pink one...

You have to place yourself in their shoes. Understand what they are saying, and ultimately, read the cinematic direction. You are talking about two people who have no one else. Everyone was sent to go and find what or who they are fighting for. Tifa and Cloud's story arc offers the same. All...

Same here. I stopped posting here because it seemed arbitrary as to when one of these character debate thread was accepted and when it was not, and as to which characters could be chatted about. I fail to see how you can discuss Aeris' love for Cloud without discussing Cloud's reciprocated...

As I recall, Nomura says something along the lines of "the answers are there, we're here to tell you outright". In other words, there are definitive answers, but neither the story or the creators are going to underline them and pin them on the heads of the audience. At least you're honest Neo...

He feels guilty in his obsession over Aeris, and the guilt and fear of replicated that failure with those he loves (Tifa and his family) is paralysing him emotionally through half of Case of Tifa and half of Advent Children. It's the pressure from friends from the past and present, plus the...

Actually, Cloud had cheered up significantly earlier by the time her returned from the Forgotten City. His encounters with people from the past and present seemed pretty vital to his "recovery" from his post traumatic stress he seemed to be suffering. He has his vision of Aeris telling him to...

As I said before the hack, I don't really see either is really equatable. "Pure Evil", is such a limited concept and denies any audience to understand Sephiroth. He clearly as conclusive reasons for doing what he does. It's not out of some sudden urge to destroy the world, there is method and...

Possibly Midgar, not because I dislike it - I love it - but I guess like any game, its that first few hours that makes or breaks a replay, so depending on Midgar is whether I continue through. I've played it many times, but its one of the few games which always screams for more. Just social...

Fair enough, though the topic in itself will naturally bring up the question of Aeris' relationship to Cloud, and that itself is a narrative question which inevitably - to some extent - bring in the question of defining his relationships and affections. Can Aeris love a man who - and for the...

I think we're running madly into conjecture here. I've seen no evidence to support the supposition she could heal a man dead for a long period of time. To a normal man, not quite sure the strength of a man who can thrust higher than a city and land with no broken bones. I don't think its clear...

You cannot pick and choose what is canon based on personal conjecture. I hate it in Fraiser when Niles goes with Daphne, which IMO was to cater for fan whims, but it doesn't make the seasons post that point non-canon. I just have to accept it. I don't see SE capitulating to fan demands. They...

When did she have the opportunity to bring Zack back to life? He died before she did. Furthermore, whether Cloud was dead or near death is questionable in Advent Children. Yes, well, as some so arrogantly say, "you can prove anything with facts.." So you place conjecture over the need of...
