....Someone said that Stars are Canonically Aerith’s symbol too, as well as white feathers, flowers, white materia, lifestream. Oh and water too. Now I’d like to know when Aerith has ever been associated with stars. As far as Ik white feather has always been symbol of Angeal and Zack, of heaven, peace and freedom. They appear in A’s Mobius Card Artwork, in Great Gospel, if you want you can also consider the church, yeah, but they aren’t her exclusivity. Never been. How many symbols Aerith has?
In the red dress scene. That's why. They have to take that symbolism because it's Tifa's and they know it. The entire wall market section has Tifa references through it, reminding Cloud of what's important and undercutting the unrealistic nature of the place. Like Aerith, her resolution and her best dress, wall market at night is fake, which is why she's Cloud's party member through it.
Tifa sees it during the day time when everything is real. There's no glitz, glamour and fakery. Just real people, real settings and real feelings.
They'll take or erase everything that's hers. Hell, they'll even deny the game's engine if it doesn't suit them. Like in some scenes the wind blows, in others it doesn't, but according to one self claimed expert programmer that's bullshit if it refers to the black feather in Aerith's resolution. I'm not a programmer, but I know how to research. The engine used is Unreal and part of its system is chaos physics. That's the mechanism that randomises dust and debris in the environment. Usually referred to when you're destroying shit because it's a more flashy example. This is combined with the weather system that includes wind tracking. That's the thing that makes people's hair and clothes move. At different random times in the game you'll get the wind blowing, which moves dust and debris and the characters hair and clothes.
It's sophisticated af. I mean, they went to a stupid amount of effort to include imperfections and freckles on Cloud's arm during his and Tifa's resolution and you can barely see them.
Are people seriously saying the devs gave more thought to a freckle than plot mechanics?
Seriously?
