What are different ways you prefer Submissives refers to you? Title name nickname or does it vary?

Uh. I mean, I don’t generally require Subs to title me, that’s just not my thing. But when my Submissive is addressing me, Sir is great.

What the most sexually daring thing you’ve ever done?

Heh. Uh...I mean, a few things come to mind but, probably fucking while driving. Fuck daring, it was hot.

What's with Z/ack and/or Z/erith fans pushing this idea that Aerith is still 'taken' because of Zack when she says she's over him?? This fandom is usually super ready to spotlight any other thing as problematic, but not this one incredibly sexist thing?? Whether or not they think Aerith did fall in love with Cloud is immaterial, because she said she's over Zack. Period. She is not. Zack's. Property.

What do you find the most comforting?

Ambrose.

Okay overall I love that teaser trailer (Aerith is so damn gorgeous!), but I still don't trust Nomura. Just look at the trash that is KH3 lmao. Everything seemed rushed and it was soo lacking. I'm scared for the FF7R. Also, Clerith's meeting was changed. How much more are they going to change? Square Enix seem to favor Tifa over Aerith for Cloud as well, just look at that stupid admin over the DFFOO accounts. I'm a little scared for Clerith.

Hm, I feel nothing but confidence after the newest trailer, and I’ve seen more confidence from majority of cleriths, too. BUT I understand your concerns, clerith means a lot to you (and all of us) and creators can suddenly do a 180 (it’s happened in lots of fandoms) and it leaves us all heartbroken. So I get that you’re cautious. 

However, I don’t think you have to worry (at least not yet). For one, KH3 might have had its issues (all games do), but FFVII is a two-decades-old game. With FF7R; Kitase, Nojima, Nomura, (and Hamaguchi) are not building from the ground up like they were with KH3, they’re renovating. That’s a big difference. 

I mean, just look at the latest trailer since Hamaguchi joined the team as co-director. The graphics are incredible, the character designs have exceeded expectations (at least in my opinion), the battle system looks amazing and, unlike the 2015 “trailers”, we actually saw legit gameplay, not a pre-recorded CGI cutscene posing as in-game content. I said for a few years now that the next trailer would determine whether or not I anticipate this remake, and as a clerith fan and a FFVII fan that was extremely disappointed with the first trailers, I am very excited now. Of course, that could all change, but I feel like it’s unlikely.

While it appears they removed the option to have the player decide if Cloud buys the flower or not,  that option isn’t even bad for Clerith anyway. Cloud buying the flower from Aerith doesn’t change her affection points in the game. It only possibly affects Barret’s and Tifa’s. For all we know, they might have just altered it and made it so after Aerith says “it’s for you” the option to accept or decline could come up. We just don’t know yet. 

Even if they removed a lot of options, I still feel confident for Clerith because the creators (not random Ultimanias) have been supporting Clerith: Kitase referring to the Clerith date as if it’s the canon outcome, Nobuo supporting the Clerith date at his concerts, Nojima saying Cloud and Aerith were lovers during FFVII, Nojima and Square Enix making an entire event for Cloud/Aerith during the FF30th celebration. Heck, even in Record Keeper it appears the devs are in favor of Clerith. So while the options were fun, as clerith fans we shouldn't worry just yet.

That said, I’m more upset by the fact that they changed it from; Aerith being shoved to the floor, stands up, Cloud walks past, then Aerith says “excuse me”, because she’s scared from the explosion. In the newest trailer, it appears that nobody is even reacting to the fact that a giant explosion just happened. Which is odd, because in the original game everyone is running around scared. Dismantled and the other Ultimanias discuss this same aspect of the scene. So it’s weird to see THAT much changed. 

I really don’t see them removing any of the options though. I’ve seen a lot of CT fans say they hope Square Enix removes the romance options, but I seriously doubt that will ever happen. They’re not dumb, they want the cash/support from both shipping sides. Regardless, there will be a canon outcome and that will be clerith just like it was in the original game.

As for who Square Enix favors... Are you aware of all that’s happened for Clerith since 2015? Please read this timeline I made to see all of the pro-clerith stuff that’s happened over the years. I’m sure once you do, you’ll feel as confident as I, and many others, do. As I already said, Kitase, Nojima, and even Hamaguchi have all showed favoritism for Clerith/Aerith. The DFFOO account running a poll and asking people who they ship more doesn’t mean the DFFOO twitter staffer likes the outcome any more than we did--it also doesn’t mean Square Enix/the devs put them up to it. 

That said, even IF the devs were the ones behind the valentines day poll, look at the response Square Enix gave us... CT won a poll and their first trailer after four years is Clerith. If anything, that’s their way of saying they’re intending on doing Clerith no matter what T/ifa fans want.
