Still haven't processed the experience of FFVII Rebirth and I literally beat it months ago. So much happened
#ab.txt#tags will have spoilers#can we talk about tifa in rebirth because oh my god do I feel sorry for her#I mean it's always been a big part of her character that she often puts the people she wants to help above her own needs#but seeing the absolute chaos cloud's state has wrought on her is devastating#her best friend is crumbling in front of her eyes and she partially blames herself#after aerith dies and you can see she's juggling her grief and also enormous concern for cloud slipping out of reality#she will never catch a break man#OH and I have to say. Barret's backstory was definitely one of my favourite moments in the original#obviously apart from the gameplay surrounding that section (corel always manages to be tedious)#and they really did a good job with it in rebirth. really compelling and tragic#and finally getting to see myrna just made it feel so much more real.#sometimes I think about how much guilt barret will shoulder for his entire life. he suffers so much#they all suffer so much man.#don't even get me started on aerith in rebirth. do not even joke lad.#playing as a helpless little aerith trying to scrape any sort of aid for her dying mother just about broke me for good#her entire life just sucks doesn't it#never had any true lasting friends growing up because she was that weird cetra girl#falls in love with a boy and he dies and she intuitively knows it but chooses to believe he ran off with other women to protect her heart#I love the final date she goes on with cloud before her death. she was allowing herself to be selfish for once#she just constantly has to push down her desires because she knows her fate is sacrifice#such long tags I'm so sorry.
