What if Cloud became a Solider…
I’m sure most of you already noticed that I love to take factual information about Final Fantasy, twist the scenarios a bit, and turn it into a what if kind of thing. Well this entry is based on one of those. Here’s an interesting question I just thought of. “What would Cloud Strife be like if he HAD gotten into Solider?”
After thinking about ( Read more... )
Ha Aerith always used to annoy me, but when you think about it - you should be annoyed with Cloud really - its him brushing Tifa off not Aerith (though Aerith did try so hard to push in between them). But yeah it was all for Tifa originally - but I always felt that he didn't seem so protective of Tifa as he did Aerith in the game, maybe because Tifa comes across as a stronger person (when in fact she isn't).
I hate to admit it - but I've come to quite like Aerith recently - I mean when I first played the game when I was like 13 or something I did do the whole crying thing when she died - but when I replayed it when I was older I started to find her annoying. And now I'm older still I think I'm starting to appreciate her character a lot more. Actually I think it does come a little bit from this amazing TsengxAerith doujin I have - I wouldn't normally have bothered with that pairing before, but I didn't realise that was the story when I bought it as the cover was different - but OMG! So tragic and sweet! It really turned me - and made me more of a Tseng fan as well. So thats good. But maybe my strong hatred of Yuna replaced Aerith as my annoying FF character - I really hate Yuna - she just plain annoys me and I have no real reason for that - she just does XD
But what did you think of "Maiden"? Some of it seemed a little pointless to me - but I can see why they put it in there - like meeting the AVALANCHE members and Dyne, but I think overall it made me understand the nature of the lifestream more - and shed light on the end events of FF7 which have never been that clear. The Hojo bit was freeky, but I really liked the bit where she met President Shinra though, it was interesting to see deeper into his character, and how he considered others, and of course that he was only interested in wealth even in death. The fact that he loved to prove himself to others is interesting as well I think - as it might explain some of Rufus' resentment towards him - if he was always trying to prove himself against Rufus. Actually something about that bit reminds me of something... can't think what... might be something to post on Mythrauders if I think of it! No-ones posted for ages - I've just been to busy to actually go research something! I've got a free day on Sunday though (I think) so maybe I'll look something up then...

Well if I further into that I'll start ranting.. XD lol
Maiden did clear up a lot of stuff and also confirmed in some stuff I thought about the end, but other than meeting some of the characters, it really just annoyed me... PARTICULARLY about Cloud falling into Lifestream. Um, probably would be a good idea to discuss this elsewhere though, like um, my yrena journal, considering this whole topic was meant to be about Cloud. XD
Hmm, for me it was Rinoa, and although Yuna can be annoying at times (have you ever been caught in a button pushing loop with the "It's just... a little farther now" in the Ronso's territory? YIKES) Rinoa is a lot like Aerith in my opinion, although I'm not sure which is more annoying.. which would be another rant ^_^;
Mythrauders.. er well I just haven't had a good lead yet. ^_^;
