It's upon us. After my first video, I realized that I needed to replay the games and do thorough research before venturing into theory-crafting that is worthy of people's time. So this has been in the works since August. I hope you enjoy it! youtu.be/9eqpzUydSVI

@theshenami I can understand it from this angle. That's why it's a conundrum to me, I still didn't find a formula that doesn't undermine the LSS. The only one that comes close is plugging realization on both deaths right at the NC then proper grief once we come back, less issues but still.

@ffSteeD27 I'd argue the opposite, that both segments need their own dedicated story sections to spotlight each arc. Also, the LSS serves a very specific narrative purpose, and mourning is not a part of that.

I want constructive conversation out of this, which is why I'd love for someone to give me a satisfactory answer to this question (I am unable to): - Where can the story fit Aerith's death at the end of the game in a way that doesn't undermine Cloud being HIM after the LSS?

@ffSteeD27 Lol I remember when someone seriously tried to argue that Cloud doesn’t need to be present during the LSS, that Tifa could go alone and then just report to Cloud what she learned later

I can't believe you all want to erase Cloud's role in the LSS just to put Tifa at the same level as him? Anything to undermine Cloud's role in the story.

@Braedberi__07 Well they have micro stories within the big overarching FF7 plot. But two main arcs are by far the biggest in FF7 -Cloud's identity (biggest imo) -Planet's Crisis The rest revolves around this in my perception.

@ffSteeD27 Ok, can you point me where I can get the stories of Tifa, Aerith, Barret, Yuffie, Cait Sith etc. then? I would really like to find out where the main crux of their stories are at?

"The Forgotten Capital is about Cloud witnessing a death his denial and grieving. It means that it's not about the rest of the cast either but also NOT about Aerith either. It's about HIM."

I've also been meaning to say this: The LSS is about Cloud's identity. It means that it's not about Zack or Aerith but also NOT about Tifa either. It's about HIM. If writers decide that in Remake Cloud needs to learn all the truths he repressed to heal, it'd be consistent.

@AerBunny_ Cloud thinking he saved Aerith as a symptom to him thinking he's a soldier.

@ffSteeD27 Now swap Cloud for Tifa, and Zack/Aerith for Tifa and you have your own previous tweet in a nutshell.

@SilverWield @jnoe33 Okay let's simplify it. The LSS is about (in this order) 1-Cloud 2-Tifa 3- Everyone else. Can we agree on that?

@jnoe33 @ffSteeD27 It is about her though, and refusing to acknowledge or accept that, or to even try to replace her importance within that role is erasing her.

As a "theorybro" myself, I actually am in favor of giving us slang that equates us to "shippers" We are more alike than we like to think 😅 The problem is when one grows attached to one's theory or ship to the point they get defensive and deny outright cannon.
Braedberi 🚬@Braedberi__07

By calling them "Theory" bros I feel like we're giving them too much credit, they're actually "Hypothesis" bros, because a Theory explains patterns across many instances and predicts outcomes in new situations and let's face it, they havent gotten any major prediction correct yet

@ffSteeD27 My personal theory is they’re going to add more context to the LSS scene and he will have the revelation that they are gone, and he will put himself back together and be his real self, but the further flashbacks and details will happen later like at the forgotten capital. 1/2

@AerBunny_ I think it's a symptom as people have been saying, but for me the LSS is really about Cloud's identity and insecurities as a kid.

@ffSteeD27 Assuming Retrilogy is leading directly to AC (I keep an open mind tho) I believe with how Retrilogy has presented his belief that he did save Aerith, but assuming she actually died, he cannot accept who he is until after he accepts he wasn’t strong enough to save Aerith

@nibelsky Oh I'm totally onboard with the scenes being separate btw.

bel@nibelsky·
@ffSteeD27 so they are related, but I think they are separate enough to have their own scene. And because it stems from the identity crisis it acts more as a continuation of it not something that surpasses it

@TifaTheMonk Tbf I believe in shaking hands with anyone in this fandom because it's a video game.. Not joking, but I've literally been enjoying some videos by Sebby.

Well the way the conversation has been treated thus far, content creators in this space act like it’s already confirmed, and anyone who believes otherwise is wrong. And you can’t deny there is a sense of glee from certain individuals at the prospect of stripping Tifa’s importance in that scene away….

This fandom and its desire to lower Tifa and stomp her role into the ground have done irreparable damage to discourse surrounding this game, and yeah it actively turns people off of different scenarios because we know what the discourse resulting from those scenarios will take place.

@StrawderryST That's why I think the Zack/Aerith worlds get resolved at the beginning of the LSS, and Cloud revisits them at the end of Remake. Those are the same spaces he ends up visiting in ACC imo.

@ffSteeD27 No, but I think it's going to be about "uncovering" the mystery of what's going on with all these worlds, Sephiroth's plan, whatever it is, and uncovering "Zack's worlds" Revelation it is

@ffSteeD27 I don't think LSS or Aerith death will be a climax, as these are the moments we already know about, we'll get something else.

Whatever the devs have decided to do is what will be. I don’t care about being right, I just care if the story is handled well, and my favorite scenes respected, and not watered down. That’s it.
