So. Tifa and Aeris, from Final Fantasy. Aeris favors pink dresses and bows, while Tifa wears a leather skirt and fingerless gloves. Aeris likes to garden in her spare time; Tifa is a martial artist. Pop quiz: which of them is an assertive, aggressive action hero who takes matters into her own hands even when it hurts her, and which one’s shy, ( Read more... )

I've been thinking for some time about the odd and often ludicrous arguments that come up when people dislike or even hate Cloud Strife. Today it suddenly occurred to me that I should write a little defense for him. This is for the original Final Fantasy VII Cloud, even though I also like his counterpart from Kingdom Hearts (who is a completely ( Read more... )

So I post on this Final Fantasy message board, and there is a member that is being a bit of a pain in the ass. Almost all of her posts have a sentence bashing Aerith, regardless if it's on topic or not. Seriously, it could be a thread about Zidane and Dagger, and she'll be like "ZOMG I love Zidane and Dagger! They're the cutest couple ever! But I ( Read more... )

This is more a general rant than about any specific character, but it's still relevant.

Argh. Good lord, some people just piss me off...

You know something is wrong when you run into this-

Hello, my name is Sabrina, I'm sixteen, and I'm here to prove that not all teenaged girls write the drivel you're used to. I'm saving the internet, one fanfic at a time.

And then you run into this a few paragraphs down-

Kairi. I seriously hope she chokes on a paopu fruit. Guess you should ( Read more... )

Ok, I'm going to defend Cait Sith who is possibly the most hated character in Final Fantasy VII. I actually found him to be one of the more interesting characters. I'm actually kind of nervous about doing this. We'll see how it goes.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm the only person that likes all the Final Fantasy 7 females. It seems like a lot of people like one or two and absolutely hate the other. Most of it's a war between Aeris and Tifa, and Yuffie tends to be universally hated. So I'm going to defend all three. Spoilers for FF7.

Well, I found a site that contained a bash-fest known as "Anime's Most Annyoing Women". The comments there were so ridiculous and bad, I had to share and counter them here.

( Presenting the Victims, the Prosecution, and the Defense! )

(This is a little rant about the Shalua-hate I've encountered in the last few days. Shalua Rui is a character from Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus, but I'll try to keep this entry spoiler-free for that game.)

So, this is the woman we're talking about. The moment I met her in the game (I'm currently about halfway through), I thought she was a ( Read more... )

Just a short rant again. I can't write essays. :P
