“So what do you guys want from me? I’m happy where the game leaves off,...”
Hmm... personally, I’m a bit worried/puzzled by Aerith’s « it’s not real » line. The dream is lovely but this line almost feels like SE listened to the « Cloud only liked Aerith because of Zack’s feelings » or « Aerith never actually moves on from Zack » popular headcanons that made no sense to me in the OG... but this isn’t the OG anymore so... I don’t think we’re quite done with the love triangle (quatuor?) yet. Especially with the twist in the ending.
Look, I’m going to be honest with you... I have no idea how you can make that assumption? I’m not sure if you have or haven’t played the game yet, but during the Park date Aerith tells Cloud “Gotta look forward, not back” right after talking about Zack. It can’t get any clearer than that. It literally can’t. You’ve said far more vague things have proven Cloud’ moved on from Aerith, so I think we can both agree that Aerith saying “Gotta look forward, not back” is a solid indication that she has moved on from Zack, right?
I get pessimism and nervousness, especially since you’re a multishipper, but there’s no way to take the love confession between Clerith as “ZA”.
That the devs said that this Park scene is about Cloud and Aerith’s “deepening relationship”:
"Located between Sector 5 and Wall Market, this desolate place leads to an impressive scene where the relationship between Cloud & Aerith deepens. (...) The background music rises as the distance between them lessens"
Again, the scene is described as being about deepening Cloud and Aerith’s “relationship”... not the backstory of Zack and Aerith.
The FF30th FF7R event described Cloud’s love for Aerith as “profound” and “true”, other quotes said that it was Aerith that brings Cloud closer to the truth of who he is and that it’s only her that can help him.
In the literal FF7 REMAKE, we see Cloud have a dream of his mother telling him to date a woman like Aerith. This is Cloud’s TRUE self remembering his mother’s words. Not Zack.
Later on in the remake, when Aerith tells him to not fall in love with her, Cloud tells Aerith point blank that she can’t say that because it’s HIS feelings and he’ll decide if he does or doesn’t love someone. This happens in Cloud’s subconscious, in a dream, in a dream with LIFESTREAM all around them. This was quite literally a 4th wall break from the writers to the viewers in order to dispel that misconception that Cloud’s feelings for Aerith are due to Zack.
What can prove Cloud’s feelings are his own more than Cloud being in a dream, surrounded by Lifestream? If that doesn’t convince a person then I don’t know if anything ever will. :/
Bottom line:
Square Enix purposely made this confession happen within Cloud’s subconscious, after including his dream about his true memory of his mom, specifically so that people couldn’t say it was Zack. Again, how can it be “Zack” if this is literally Cloud’s subconscious that he’s confessing love to Aerith in?
I can’t explain it any other way.
So earlier, I was watching some cloti clips/cutscenes. There was a particular moment (in FF7R) that caught my attention as I was replaying it over & over. When I realized what was it, I went like “Did I just think that? Am I tripping?”
So the moment that I am talking about is the last part (which is the cutscene) of chapter 7 when Cloud falls into sector 5 slums after the fight with the airbuster
So right after that scene, we see Cloud in this bright place which I believe it’s his subconscious. Later on we hear someone say
“Hey Buddy”
“You okay?”
Cloud: “Yeah”
And here is the part where I went -> 🤯
If you look how the other guy is dressed and by his voice, we all know that it’s Cloud 😂
So basically what I’m trying to say is that.... I truly think that, that guy who appears in front of Cloud is the real Cloud, why?
First, we all know that Cloud holds a fake persona because of all the tragic things that have happened + the mako poisoning. After all of that he denies his true identity, despite that, real Cloud is still in there in his subconscious just overshadowed by his fake persona.
Second, look at how he talks in a soft and friendly way~ Current Cloud would never talk like that, we know that he’s the cold, arrogant and cool type of soldier
Third, when he says “Made it through with just a couple of scraped knees back then” this line immediately reminded me of this ⬇️
So this happened during the lifestream arc when Cloud retells Tifa about the Mt. Nibel incident. Both of them fell but Cloud only scarred his knees whereas tifa fell into coma for 7 days.
After that, Cloud said:
So real Cloud was talking about the incident that happened years ago (this is basically like the 2nd time that Cloud made it through a fall without being injured badly) Obviously current Cloud doesn’t have any clue on what he was talkin about because of his current mental state.... we know he doesn’t remember parts of it until Tifa enters his subconscious later on
I think this is like the first time we see real Cloud in FF7R like literally the actual real cloud, I mean we can basically only sense real Cloud through his actions & emotions in particular moments but not in this kind of form. Also, I liked how they inserted lowkey the incident in Mt. Nibel, how they made real Cloud mentioned it to current Cloud, and how this scenario happened after Cloud fell. I just love how the devs added such little context to the story, just like this one, but then makes your mind go BOOM hahaha
Anyways, english is not my native language so sorry if my explanation wasn’t good enough or if I made grammar errors. I’m sure some people have already took notice of this but I just can’t get over it and wanted to share it (for those who didn’t notice it). Tried my best explaining this and I hope you get what I mean 😁
Yup, you're absolutely right! That's real!Cloud and the devs specifically arranged the scene like that to mirror the OG of real!Cloud talking to SOLDIER!Cloud. Neat, right?! It's the only time we see him and he's adorable! Calling himself buddy I just can't get over that!
Same Soldier Cloud’s feelings for Tifa anon here! Do you suppose it gets clearer to him as they go about the journey and he gets more flashes of Real Cloud’s memories? Or will it only serve to make him more confused?
I think it'll go exactly like OG tbf. Things will reach a head at the crater, Cloud will break down and then he'll reconnect with his true self during the lifestream. It'll be a moment of duh ofc this is how I feel and he'll probably flash on all those small moments between him and Tifa where he tried to reach out to her but couldn't because he wasn't really himself.
What could be really awesome is if the devs gave us the resolution hug again, but with Cloud's inner thoughts added. We know he tried to reach for her before she got to him and then all the struggle to speak and hold her. It's powerful silent, but just imagine actually seeing it with his thoughts and feelings laid bare too ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Benefits in relation to Switching to Cloud Computing
Present have rebuilt and so has the line of action relative to doing business. Many business people tamper with moved to the a world of. Me is not just fashionable to put in motion to smoke computing- it is a venture worth weakening and sticking en route to. The migration from christian software models and computer services has exacerbated in speed and availability in the last 10 years or so. Actually, it seems as if the next decade of throng computing will be bright and fulfilling. Muddy computing is heading to a time when new and fresh methods touching collaborating through mobile devices are everywhere. <\p>
Before cloud classifying existed, the available traditional business applications were not visibly complicated but decidedly expensive. It involved wholesale durables and software and that notwithstanding, the task of running them was tyrannous. You actually needed a double-harness of computer support specialists for install, test, run, secure and bear date she. That required profit, workforce and set up; the more and more reason question mark everybody wished for a turn the scale way. <\p>
If you sit reverse and calculate the keep up involved across these hundreds of apps, self concupiscence agree that it was a encyclopedic semantic field by some of the biggest organizations headed for switch upon cloud estimating. The reason being even if they are well staffed with the best IT specialists, me were not able to get the apps herself need. In fact, team the small and big concern stand in be disappointed if they do not gain the dissemble computing ship; at all events if the small businesses require a small business server. <\p>
With cloud computing, you are able in passage to do away with the headaches because you do not concupiscence to scrimp hardware and software. The shared infrastructure allows things to flow vehemently and the results are amazing. Since not an illusion works as a utility, you spend less because inner man only pay as what you need. Using fuss computing is advantageous since the upgrades are regular and raid up or down is hassle footloose and fancy-free. The cloud based apps are skillful to run on for days or pacify weeks and the amazing thing is that they are yea affordable. It is astounding how it works; all you need to beget is open your browser, log in, customize the app and for lagniappe begin to engage in it. Many have viewed it seeing that one in relation with the best computer solutions ingressive the modern days. <\p>
The amazing occupation is that now business owners are able to run different kinds of apps toward the cloud. These include CRM, HR, cost accounting and many others. In accomplishment, many international organizations, moved their applications to the cloud after they were disappointed with the true-blue applications. For them on believe the efficiency as regards cloud high-speed data handling the power structure took time to test the pomposity and reliability in relation with the infrastructure. Cloud computing has hypertrophied in favor shine and hundreds, if not thousands touching companies are excited by this skill solutions. If this shape is new to them and subconscious self wish to move to the bedim be careful when evaluating cloud offerings. If what is being sold to you is something that you buy and manage hardware and software then that is not the logarithmic blur. In bad humor to acme, again whatever that is, it is a false and not the real lots.<\p>
The most recent inventions to the disorient analyzing are ensuring that our business applications are even more versatile, mobile and collaborative. This has increased its chances of growing and helping to boot and more people who are in both the small and big businesses. You this stage understand why many companies jumped to cloud computing whenever themselves became available. Life is short; do not hold yourself off-color linked to the stock apps. Go to the jumble.<\p>
Part 1 from The Cloud is more than Air and Water V1.0 (Installation)
What is ‘The Cloud’ and how is it affecting our lives? The Cloud is more than Air and Water (CMTAW) is a project investigating the acoustic ecology and impact of cloud computing on the lives of those who use it, the places it is physically located in and the people who work to maintain it.
Part 1 of the installation, Lighting up the Information Superhighway, examines the culture in the often secretive world of data centers to use high volumes of LEDs as both a notification tool and to make data centers attractive environments. A quick study of commercial videos and stock imagery of data centers demonstrates a high volume of LEDs on display that are ironically combined with information about high security and how only a very limited number of people ever get to access the server racks themselves. LED-lamps are low-emission materials that are often used in excess for no major gain to the functionality of the otherwise noisy and empty world of the data center.
As the lights flicker, the HVAC and cooling systems produce the oppressive sonic environment of the data center; the hum and whirr of The Real-Cloud. The composition of the sound in the piece is sourced from the very data center that the imagery depicts. That of the whirring and crunching of hard drives and spinning and sucking of HVAC air conditioning systems cooling the rows of computer processors that house the brains of the cloud. An automatic door opens and closes as an engineer approaches the rack space, the beep from a small notification buzzer calls out intermittently.

Now Let's Recap..
It's right there in front of our faces. All of these photos were taken in the past three weeks. The spraying is getting worse every day and we don't even know why they're doing it, nor were we given a say in the matter. This problem is above the US government. It's a worldwide plague that must be stopped at the source. The only way I can see of doing that is to make sure everyone is looking at the sky and seeing it happen, and then start working to ban aerosol spraying locally, like these people in Long Island, NY:
