Thought Cloud Might Have Lost It Again.
May. 12th, 2024 10:12 pmFurther adventures in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth! I must be nearing the end of this game at last, I think; I've reached the Temple of the Ancients. I've neglected huge swathes of side content, and yet somehow I've still been playing for over sixty hours.
( Notes on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. )
While I've never been heavily into the Final Fantasy VII fandom, I do have a bit of history with the Cid/Vincent pairing. I didn't exactly have a Final Fantasy VII phase in my early teens; I just had a Cid/Vincent AU fanfiction phase. I was actually reading Cid/Vincent fanfiction before I played Final Fantasy VII itself. When I did play the game, I was a little let down by their lack of interaction!
Playing Rebirth, a small part of me is nostalgically pleased that Cid and Vincent keep hanging back together while the rest of the party go off to do plot things. They're still not really interacting onscreen, but there's plenty of implied space for interaction, and I hope a new generation of Cid/Vincent shippers has a blast with that.
