The longer someone's sick, the more chances their skin might present discoloration patches where the sores used to be.

Genesis Rhapsodos is extremely relatable because I, too, get annoyingly verbose about a well-known mythology (FF7 Compilation) I became obsessed with in my youth (PlayStation) which I analyze to death whenever I have time (this blog) and is also missing an important act (third remake installment).

Why do people in Final Fantasy VII fandom insult each other over different interpretations of any one small scene, and call developers - who have been getting about 2 hour of sleep per day for the last 10 years - lazy, and have ship wars, and get enraged at everything that's different from original game, and hate new voice actors, and hate fans who hate new voice actors, and call people stupid for not agreeing with their wild speculations definitive statements about the third part which doesn't even exist yet, and call other fans names and insult them because they don't agree with them over the smallest detail, and always upvote the most negative hot take on every video and reddit thread, and try to make everyone feel angry and miserable, and hate Genesis, and hate Zack, and hate Yuffie, and hate Whispers, and hate, hate, hate, hate...

When we could all instead just gush over how perfect Zack Fair is? 🥰

I'm so giddy about the way they decided to re-introduce Elena's character in the new trailer because I was worried at the idea they would take the route of doing what the fandom (who don't read the novels) mostly perceive her with: a comic relief due to her klutzy tendencies & her crush, who constantly need to be hand-held by the boys in the group to the point the fandom interpreation render her as a shy or genki girl/ almost swap her personnality with other female characters as if she was a blank state.

But the devs instead decided to follow throught how she was depicted in the compilation: A flawed, fierce, unapologetic woman from the slums coming from an emotionnally distant family, who was the top student of military school while working in a bar in Wall Market prior joining the Turks ( who used to belittle her all the time, mind you) for the sake to gain people's approval, to prove that she's better than her sister and doesn't hesitate to beat up & torture people in front of their sickly relatives. her gung-ho attitude create a mutual frustration in the group, even Tseng doesn't really get an hold on her.

She also can be competent as she was the top student of the military academy but also did some significant contributions post-OG: She is the one who managed to have Midgar's population mostly evacuated post-Meteorfall, she is the one who goes to ask questions to people during investigations, she is the one who maintain a cordial relationship between the towns around Healen's Lodge by proposing & organizing the distribution of medicine to Rufus & then goes looking for the materials & employees necessary for its production. She is the one who find the Jenova's remains in AC & get them to Rude & Reno before going back to fight the remnants to help Tseng. She was in OG the Turks with the most powerful stats as well.

She's not a character you can swap with Cissneï (like some people apparently hoped?) We don't get to skip or not her boss fight this time. She is re-introduced as her class of origin: a martial artist (instead of giving her a gun like in AC). She is an actual threat & even Rude this time warn the party about it. Which I hope will be kind of omnimous story-wise as I think Avalanche & the Turks may become more & more aggressive toward each other throughout the story.

I think we're also gonna see interesting dynamic in the group, as since she's the newbie with an inquisitive & active side, she may be the player eyes into the dynamics & conspiracy in Shinra.

I also think it's the first time we see a Turks get that violent with Aerith & we know that Reno, Rude & Tseng cares about her. Among the group, the one who is never show feeling sorry about being a Turks is Elena.

I hope Rebirth will finally bring justice to her, with her qualities & flaws. She is as important as her comrades within the structure of Shinra & I want it to be explicitly acknowledged in the story.

The stupid "Sephiroth, have you lost weight?" line in Crisis Core gets me legit upset. We know it's not a teasing line because the Japanese translation was "haggard".

Sephiroth wasn't eating. The man who would burn villages and bring untold suffering on the planet wasn't eating because he was upset and worried about his friends.

Whatever you think of Seph, no matter how incredibly evil and irredeemable he is now, at one point in his life, he was just a soldier with two friends who he loved dearly. Friends who he loved enough to go against the company that raised him. Friends who he was low-key essentially committing treason for. Friends that ultimately tipped him over the edge.

Yeah, these couples aren't Cloti coded at all lol

Denzel's parents look like Cloud and Tifa.

Chloe refused to abandon her friends in sector 7 so rushed off to warn them about the plate collapse.

Abel wanted to chase after his wife, but had to put Denzel's safety first. He actually leaves Denzel with the first passerby and runs off after Chloe.

The narrator and Silvina Kelly live on the sector 7 plate, same as Abel, Chloe and Denzel did.

Both Abel and the narrator work for Shinra. The narrator and Silvina aren't married, but live together and they're having a baby. The paragraph about Silvina sleeping next to the narrator is to parallel this sentence from episode Tifa about Cloud and Tifa in bed together so people who didn't get it or chose not to would understand that couples share a bed.

“ Sephiroth! Why did you kill the townspeople? Why did you hurt Tifa?  Answer me, Sephiroth! “

“ Mother. They’re here again. “

me being nit-picky at zack fair for one whole post

If you get pissed off easily, don’t read this. Zack, oh Zack..where do I begin? I honestly, in my heart of hearts, do not like Zack Fair. I don’t like his character at all, and I especially don’t like the way he treats Aerith. Okay okay, I’m not trying to be a whiny “fangirl,” but some things about him really irk me, especially after venturing over to the Z/erith tag for some badass fan art. Firstly, Zack is a player. That always messed with me, especially after watching him flirt with other women WHILE he was in a relationship with Aerith. I feel like his relationship with Aerith is a very typical teenage romance: rushed and short lived. As a teenager myself it’s like I see relationships like Z/erith all the time, and it’s actually super funny (not that someone runs off and gets gunned down while trying to enter a city.) That being said, just like a lot of relationships I see in the real world, Zack had no intention of returning to Aerith. He viewed her as a place to crash in the OG. He also never really made time for her while he was working. This lead me to realize something: did Zack even really love Aerith? Or did he use her for a status as a girlfriend? Maybe he saw her as something to keep him entertained while he was off duty? Because let’s be real, Zack has the attention span of a puppy. Thus, I start to wonder if Zack and Aerith’s relationship was one-sided, because Zack leaving Aerith completely broke her heart. However, when Zack was returning to Midgar, the way he viewed Aerith made me wonder if he was over her (that is, if he was ever really in love with her at all.) If the compilation of Final Fantasy 7 has no relevance to the remake, does this mean Z/erith will be degraded down to its original status in the OG? It’s a possibility. Then again, it’s also possible that Z/erith will get some fanservice in the remake. Honestly, seeing all the Clerith favoritism in the new FFVII remake trailers makes me wonder if, like the original Japanese version, Aerith and Zack will even be a solidified object.
