@TheReasonableCl @RedFaeWings Showing more of Zack and Aerith being together in the Lifestream isn't a deviation, but an enhancement on the existing material. It fits well with what we've seen of the trilogy so far.
English
The devs: the story is the same. We added in new things that weren't really new to FF7 to make fans wonder how it's end. We're not changing the story. It's all leading to Advent Children.
Dumbasses: MAKE FANS WONDER HOW THE STORY WILL END DELULUS THINK IT'S THE SAME lmaoooo

@angelus_da55800 You are viewing the scene according to your biases - ie, you believe CA is romantic therefore this scene must be romantic - this putting the cart before the horse style of media literacy is exactly why Cleriths are bamboozled any time CT or ZA are validated.
English
@_FirstClassZack The point is that the entire setup for Clerith is romantic in nature, so the scene with Marlene should be understood in this context. This is why the writers had Zack perceive it as such. Additionally, we know from On the Way to a Smile that Aerith loved Cloud.
English
You know that the meaning of "daisuki" (大好き) depends on the context, right? How come Zack understood Marlene's message as romantic, but you didn't?

So in other words, a Clerith just accidentally acknowledged that Marlene's feelings toward Aerith is the same Marlene uses to describe Aerith's feelings toward Cloud. I am hollering right now 😂😂😂

@angelus_da55800 It comes in the same chapter,peppered in-between a back and forward scene shift with Zack. It's even shippable entirely if one skips Zack scenes in the menu.
Marlene says Aerith likes Cloud, but then Aerith herself confirms yes, but it's not romantic. It's closure.
English
@angelus_da55800 There's fundamental differences between these scenes - such as A lacking future sight as in said "resolution scene" - but let's be real. Aerith herself comes to state she doesn't know what kind of liking she feels for Cloud in direct response to Marlene's statement
English
@ShutUpWilll The full title of the game is Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII. It's part of the compilation and franchise. Not that you'd know since you haven't played the games.
English
@_FirstClassZack FF7 isn't mentioned anywhere in that image you dumb zoomer.
English
Nobody hates Final Fantasy VII more than Cleriths.

And it's there Zack waits, knowing Aerith will come wearing pink as she promised. The flowers of reunion surround this scene and ZA as a whole - for instance adorning their Valentine's Day profile with it - ZA will yet be together again, in part 3, and it will happen right there.
English
And it's not just the events before Rebirth, it's after too! In ACC we see Zack's Buster Sword resting in the church and Aerith's flowers on Zack's grave. It's where ZA joke about adopting Cloud and then they both walk off into the light, together always. It's their place...
English
The usage of quotation marks around "our place", coupled with Cloud's confusion about where Aerith is referencing - and the scene panning IMMEDIATELY to Zack waiting for Aerith by the Church - only further reinforces what was made clear in Crisis Core: it's her place with ZACK 🧵

@princessD3mi You're entitled to your bad opinion, but stop mascarading as fans of the franchise
English
@_FirstClassZack crisis core being canon or not has nothing to do with it being a bad game ijbol

@princessD3mi FF7 is a compilation and Crisis Core is canon to it. Thanks for backing up my point though.
English
@_FirstClassZack Yes we love ff7 the game, crisis core is a separate game and it sucks💋
English
@TooliusManicus @J3tAl0n3 @pure_White_Ash1 Aerith's feelings for Cloud ARE legitimate, but they aren't love. See her reaction here translated from the Japanese. She does like Cloud, but she likes many things.
This comes directly to answer Marlene.
It's closure.
English
@J3tAl0n3 @pure_White_Ash1 Why does the audience need to know that if it wasn't relevant to the situation at hand? The only reason that would matter is if Aerith's feelings for Cloud were legitimate and Zack was faced with that kind of choice... which is exactly what the game gave us.
Use logic.
English
If you ship CA, you're not a fan of FF7.

@vellarouz "It's confirmed?" - where?
Even if you do have receipts, it doesn't matter as there are other sources for the same quote too.
English
My CA friends what are some CT misinformation propaganda that sadly worked on you before you dug deeper into the fandom? Mine is believing maiden wasn’t canon cause everywhere online said so 😢
English
@peowbie 1. Zack's dead, so that would make going on a date with him a bit hard, no?
2. Maiden isn't canon.
3. Advent Children Complete is, however canon, and Zerith are reunited in it and together always :)
Enjoy part 3!
English
@_FirstClassZack Not to hate but if Aerith created a separate world to „copy” the zack date why do it with Cloud and not Zack 🤷♀️ Zerith is cute but it’s sadly dead 💔 Even maiden shows it. Aerith likes Cloud, she has the right to move on 😪😪
English
Zack suddenly disappears and years later Cloud falls into Aerith's life in the exact same way as he did, wearing the same clothes, carrying the same wword and with eyes like the sky - this in a world where the LS is a thing - of course she's going to pull at that thread..🧵

Se also the Japanese translation of the dialogue in the church. All the moreso it's clear that Aerith herself realises that she's been trying to force a Cloud shaped block into the Zack shaped hole in her heart, but it just doesn't fit. She likes many things, but love? Only Zack.
English
@makinacrack 1. NPTK is about everyone she loved.
2. There is no such character as "Aeris"
3. Aerith tells Cloud she doesn't love him
4. I was at the Rebirth orchestra and Zack was everywhere
English
@_FirstClassZack NPTK talks about a street with cobblestones, not the church with 🌼. Marlene tells Zack that Aeris likes Cloud (bc in the remake Aeris shows it). Zack teases Cloud about it. You go to the Rebirth orchestra & see nothing about Zack except the beginning. Give me that drug bro😂😂😂
English
@_FirstClassZack Uh huh.
Must have missed in remake and rebirth where she talked about writing all those letters.
And I’m guessing you missed where Marlene directly tells Zack that Aerith likes Cloud.
Tsuru tsuru, tsuru tsuru.
English
Wait, if they’re going to argue that Aerith is unfaithful to Zack after 5 years of him gone while also claiming she’d know that he died at the end of CCR (not canon to the retrilogy per Ham.) then why the FUCK is she not allowed to move on? Where’s the internal consistency??
