I knew it. I knew in the deepest pit of my stomach they were never going to let that stupid LTD rest in peace. The moment they announced the remake I was hoping, desperately praying, that it would leave the LTD alone even when the remake introduced new plot devices and twists from the original. The final word on the FTOIL should've solved it, even if it left one or two factions severely unsatisfied.
But nope.
That LTD's one of the biggest draw of the Compilation. Of course they'd touch it.
The shippers are going to go insane and ruin it. Especially when they're going to argue which of their ship is canon.
Gah! I never, ever wanted to see the VII shipping wars come back to life, arguably the most sensitive and contentious shipping war of its time way back when, but it's back, and with a vengeance.
Gotta love that song though.
Edit: I was hesitant for the longest time in buying the remake because of the potential ship wars, but I eventually caved. I guess I have to buy Rebirth and see this through, even if I hate the LTD with an absolute burning fury. With all that said, A callback to other games of the franchise is certainly unexpected but really welcome.
Second Edit: F***, I should've stayed away from the subreddit. It's a shitshow there right now.
Third Edit: They're harassing the f*** out of Nojima in 2ch/5ch/(ex-)Twitter?! I f***in' knew this would happen.
Fourth Edit: Okay, okay, I'm calm. I'm determined to see this game through since I caved and bought the remake...I just...have to ignore the Pinkers and Cloti Shippers and their weird pink fortress/water tower.
Fifth Edit: TBD
Idk what LTD or FTOIL are. I’m guessing something like love triangle dynamic from the context clues, but no idea on the other. In case that shows you how little this shipping nonsense means to me. Lol
I personally appreciate all the interpersonal relationships between the characters in this series. Each one has its place in the overall narrative and I’m glad they aren’t shying away from it in the remake series. I might make a joking comment now and then like the one above, but that’s about it.
Trying to erase one relationship or the other is just childish. And harassing the devs is straight up insane. Of course this game is going to focus more in Cloud and Aerith’s relationship. The section of the OG that it covers has very little Tifa in it. After the Kalm flashback, she really doesn’t come back into an active role until after the events at the Whirlwind Maze, which will be in Part 3. Unless they veer extremely off course from the original, Tifa and Cloud’s relationship will be a central part of that game. So any upset “fans” just need to calm down, play the original, and be patient for Part 3.
That said, when you have certain people harassing the devs for having Aerith sing the song in Loveless instead of Jessie, the Cloti vs Clerith stuff doesn’t seem so bad.
