Is she a good character?

Yes, and I can point out two reasons why.

[Anonymous No.6089104]

>>6089039
big fat, well established personal flaws and desires that work out over the course of the series in a relatable way.

Also tiddies.

This fucks with my head for some reason

I thought she was a better character when I was younger, a childhood proto-romantic puppy love that stood the test of time, so true that she was silently faithful even when Cloud doesn't know who she is or who he is

But really it's just another fictionalized unrealistic standard for love. Honestly the princess who sees there's something special in the protagonist who goes on to save the world and/or her is more realistic.

[Anonymous No.6089262]

I think she was a good "fantasy girlfriend" character, probably better than most JRPG girlfriends

It's not a role with major depth but it's done well enough with her

As someone who has only gotten in to the Final Fantasy games over the past few years and has only played a handful, the characters in FFVII are phenomenally weak, all around, especially compared to the characters in games like VI or IV. Cloud is, unsurprisingly, the most interesting character in FFVII, and sadly, most people don't even remember his character arc correctly because of how badly Advent Children and the rest of the peripheral FFVII material has mutated it.

[Anonymous No.6089272]

>>6088948
Yes, she's an important vehicle for exposition in the development of the plot.

She’s good if you consider her as a character in a Young Adult franchise. Do the characters in Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, Divergent or Percy Jackson books hold up to logic and close examination? No. Well arguably the Percy Jackson books do but that’s different. These characters are written to be easy to understand and relate core literary concepts. FF7 is the same way. It isn’t a masterpiece of character development or writing but it is very good for what it is. If you play it expecting LOTR or Foundation level character development and writing you will be disappointed. It’s a campy game written to be on the level of teenagers. And I really enjoy it for what it is

[Anonymous No.6089469]

You nailed it.

>>6089270
Barret is actually the best written FFVII character.

[Anonymous No.6090430]

>>6088948
depends on your definition of "good"

at least she was multifaceted & a longtime friend cloud probably was in&out of love with several times in his life.


have a dear friend & would do anything for her / constantly looking out for her but the odds of us being together are very slim +potentially make it weird.


as a child i didnt understand tifa but still admired her for (other reasons, tiddys) but as ive grown older i now know how important that type of love is & that sometimes it's all you have/need to get you through the worst of life.

Heh. Is it though? You'd have to be in that situation to know what it's like.

[Father Electronics Couture No.6090442]

>>6090430
Maybe. But there's a very high likelihood you're doing it wrong.

[Anonymous No.6090451]

>>6090438
Tifa is the girl who's still there at the end of the journey. The game teases you by having Jessie flirt with you and Aeris be your clear love interest throughout the first disc, only for both of them to die miserably. It's meant to be like "Oh, you move around, live your life, meet some great girls. One of them becomes 'the one that got away,' you move home, marry the girl you've known was there all along."

It's either romantic or fatalistic depending on your personal worldview. Frankly I subscribe to the latter. I mean... the game goes to great pains to tell you that Aeris is "the one." And it's not that he doesn't have a real connection to Tifa, it's just that the timing is such that if Aeris hadn't died, she would be -it-.

If he were actually Zack, but he's not.

[Anonymous No.6090604]

>>6090592
They still had a friendship before Cloud went to Midgar, it’s just the flashback shit that isn’t real. The other stuff where they’re children, like the well scene at the beginning of the game, is real.

[Father Electronics Couture No.6090608]

>>6090604
No, Tifa is the reality. Cloud's feelings for Aeris are a result of Zacks memories.

[Anonymous No.6090619]

>>6090608
Kind of a reach, but so what if it is? Aeris admits during the date that she initially thought she was only attracted to him because of the Zack factor, but then eventually came to the conclusion that she really does like him and want to know the real Cloud. The game essentially is acknowledging that the basis of the initial attraction doesn’t really matter.

[Anonymous No.6090621]

>>6090451
Aeris is the one anon, she doesn't stop being the one because she dies.

For Cloud anyway, that's obviously how it is.

Professional virgin spotter.

[Anonymous No.6090638]

Yes. She's also the most fuckable character in FF.

[Anonymous No.6090692]

>>6090638
She fucks everyone.
She had triple penetration orgy with Barret, Biggs and Wedge.

[Anonymous No.6090778]

>>6090442
she tells me directly to my face that she loves me
& i always say "i love you more"

who knows maybe we will wife up when we're old
she's my oldest friend (2005-present)
i lost my most recent girlfriend bc she was jealous & honestly it only hardens my resolve.
i honestly doubt im doing jt wrong
im very cute have dates every weekend (almost) and can get laid but choose a fulfilling lifestyle & try not to give into degenerate behaviors

People who say this shit have obviously never actually played either game. Especially not IV, which is every bit the melodramatic clichefest than VII is, if not even more so.

[Anonymous No.6091190]

>>6088948
Yes, in fact all FF7 characters except Vincent the emo cuck and compilation faggotry are good.

Such is the nature of the “life’s too short to have regrets” crowd. The female version is “live laugh love.”

If it makes you feel any better, these people inevitably end up effectively having to start over by the time they’re 40, after all their former friends finally broke free of the sunk cost of having invested time with them. Now without the energy to take risks or go new places, they finally entrench themselves somewhere only to find that, just as they feared, they lack the personal depth of emotional complexity to keep a friend or lover interested for more than three months in an adult environment.

[Anonymous No.6093883]

>>6090871
anon, no...
sometimes things really aren't that simple
& i really do mean it when i say there's nothing i want more in this world than to keep her for myself forever
but if you love someone sometimes you have to let them go

>>6093403
>lack of degenerate behavior
>isnt interested in casual sex
>looks out for my friend when we're out on the town
>always a phone call away when she's depressed
>stayed up til 6am looking for shooting stars on the roof of her car after a night of her crying
I'm not a bad person, chasing her until the end of the earth unrequited is not healthy & I'd lose her friendship as well (definitely do NOT want that)

>>6093441
lol stop projecting
we can't ALL be avant-garde noiserock artists
the idea that I'm intentionally friendzoning the most amazing person i know is absurd

things are not like the movies
sometimes people need time to grow
& if it makes you feel any better
she's a positive influence on my life +
always keeps me moving onward/upward

i love her to death even if she's only my wingman

In your brain is a list of priorities and in your mixed up little mind, what you think is that you need permission from her, and you need permission everybody else, and probably from the other guys that fuck her and your parents and friends and your job and the psychopathic rich people who rule over your economy before you're worthy to give her what she wants.

You're a fucking monster and you're probably killing her.
