Lookin' At You Is Makin' Me Sober.
Feb. 12th, 2015 09:09 pm(In Mideel, Cloud gives the little white Chocobo some Greens. The Chocobo is very pleased by this turn of events.)
Cloud: Ha, ha. You're pretty cute. Here, I'm gonna tickle you a bit.
I take it all back; Cloud is absolutely a badass.
Also on the topic of 'things I can't quite believe actually happened in this game':
(Vincent returns for the final fight against Sephiroth.)
Cloud: Vincent!
Vincent: Why such a puzzled look? You don't want me to come?
Cloud: No, it's just that you're always so cold. I thought you didn't care what was happening.
Vincent: Cool? Hmm... I guess that's just how I am, sorry. (BACKFLIPS AWAY)
I SAID 'COLD', VINCENT, NOT 'COOL'.
I was uneasy at first about using Vincent due to his gameplay drawbacks. By the end, though, my Yuffie was so hilariously overpowered that I sort of needed Vincent in my party to provide a tiny bit of challenge.
Yuffie, unfortunately, was not quite overpowered enough to prepare me for my horrible mistake on the world map. 'Hey, what's that little red dancing thing in the desert?' (GAME OVER)
The very last shot of Final Fantasy VII sort of makes me want a Last of Us AU. I'm not sure which characters it should focus on, though. Cloud, obviously, because there's no better candidate for a zombie apocalypse than a character who has constant mental breakdowns even in non-apocalyptic situations. Who else?
This is purely theoretical, of course. I'm afraid I'm unlikely to write this. The trouble with Final Fantasy/Last of Us crossovers is that Final Fantasy characters tend to be extremely powerful warriors, and fictional apocalypses are more fun if the characters you throw into them are completely unprepared.
Maybe Tseng? He's a Turk, but he doesn't strike me as someone inclined to get his hands dirty. It might be interesting to see him in a situation where he has to fight for himself. (It's entirely possible that we see him fighting in one of the many spinoffs, of course.)
I suppose I should watch Advent Children at last! I'm, er, not sure whether I should investigate Dirge of Cerberus. I started watching a cutscene compilation and got about twenty minutes in before I had to turn it off. There's a bit where Reeve gets shot, but then it turns out that it is not in fact Reeve but a robotic replica of Reeve, who is being controlled by Cait Sith, who is being controlled by Reeve. I couldn't really cope with that.
(Come to think of it, I'm sort of surprised Reeve has never really caught my attention as a character, given my general love of redemption storylines. Maybe I just haven't looked at him hard enough.)
