Final Fantasy Vii - Tumblr Posts
Me: I really really shouldn't make AUs for final fantasy 7, I haven't played or even watched playthroughs of any of the games yet.
Also me: *already has over 15 AU ideas*
Goddamnit, why do I do this.
I made this a while ago but I just realized that I forgot to post it. you have the gremlins on Aimee's discord server to thank for this. meet Duckobo.
and because I am the way I am, I came up with some potential lore for duckobos:
duckobos originally arose from blue chocobos as a spontaneous sub breed. As such, the original duckobos all had blue plumage. these days duckobos come in the full range of chocobo breed colors thanks to selective breeding.
Yes yes yesss! Someone please write this! This is SUCH a fun idea like I can already imagine all the chaos and shenanigans lool
Sefikura idea
Sephiroth loses his memory (or pretends too). 😈 When he asks Cloud who he is, Cloud assumes it's just a joke and sarcastically replies "I'm your husband."
Cloud doesn't have to worry about Sephiroth destroying the world anymore but he still hasn't gotten rid of the "Sephiroth won't leave me alone" problem.
ok in light of seph's silly little floatie jacket in ec.
I made an Eggs & Chips shirt hahaha. ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿
At last, the promise has been made.
Witcher AU - Toss a coin to your SOLDIER
pov you’re about to get bisected <3
warmup sketch of my gal ❤️🔥
I got all the new spirits and... I know this is old news and all but... I can't thank Sakurai enough for what he has done with this game and with the spirits. I understand the people who miss the trophies, they were really cool.
But the sheer amount of characters you can actually put into the game by using existing art and all the lovely references that the developers put into the spirit battles are so much cooler than what the trophy and the stickers were. Okay, trophies have nice descriptions which makes them more useful for people that are unfamiliar with the characters. But for people that are familiar with the characters, nothing beats KNOWING why the Aerith spirit battle is at the Fountain of Dreams and Cloud is trying to protect her. Nothing beats knowing why the Cait Sith spirit battle has 3 Mr. Game & Watch spamming Judge. Even if you got the plot of FFVII spoiled you won't get the reference. You need to play the actual game.
The part that really warms my heart is that Sakurai didn't need to try so hard to make bonus battles that are so perfect for the characters. He didn't need to constantly update the game with more spirits and he certainly didn't need to give us so many. Most people would have been 100% satisfied with just the playable characters from 7. But no, he gave us Shiva, who was sadly missing from the game despite being the most popular summon (or is Bahamut more popular?). He gave us the Turks. They have many fans, sure but not enough to get in Kingdom Hearts or Dissidia apperently, so nobody would have been surprised if they were skipped.
Elena (or Irina if you are japanese) is one of my favorite characters ever, and my first videogame crush. And she is now in the best game of all time. This really feels like a Chistmas gift from Sakurai. I am so happy. I was so happy when Shantae was a spirit at launch. I was so happy when Igor from Persona was added as a spirit, when Leon S. Kennedy from RE4 was added (and his Spirit Battle references that game perfectly too), when Sans got a costume, when music from the Metal Slug games got in with Terry.
I understand that Smash hype and discourse will always be about playable characters, but sometimes we all really need to take a minute to appreciate all that Smash Ultimate is OUTSIDE its massive roster. I am mostly a fan of minor characters who have no realistic chance of getting in the game at all, which is why I mostly give support to characters who wouldn't make me cry tears of joy, or would become my mains, but have a good chance of bringing with them spirits (or background characters if Sakurai pulls another Terry) that would make me so happy.
Ryu Hayabusa, a pretty boring ninja if you ask me, but one of the most important recurring characters in Ninja Gaiden is my beloved Ayane who would get in as a spirit, so come on Ryu supporters WE GOTTA MAKE HIM HAPPEN!
Someone from Soul Calibur? Sure, anything to get a Voldo spirit.
Someone from Tekken? I love Xiaoyu, King, Yoshimitsu, Nina, Anna and Paul so fricking much, and at least a couple of them are guaranteed if we get Jin or something.
Crash Bandicoot? YES! A Cortex spirit would be the best.
Sora? Only worth it for the Roxas spirit.
Byleth? Not my first choice, but I don't get all the people who are mad because they wanted the house leaders. I'm too busy smiling because the house leaders got wondeful spirit battles (and also Seteth for some reason).
When smash speculation and wishlists are involed, you guys seem to care about who gets in as a playable character, the bonus stuff you don't care about (unless it's missing, like FF music until now. Then you suddenly care). I care about the bonus content and who gets in as playable matters just a little bit to me. Which makes me weird. But to me the spirits are what makes Smash Ultimate the best smash game and I'm willing to die on this hill.
Imagine being a Mallow fan. Barely anyone discusses or even remembers him. Everyone goes nuts about that stupid puppet who is literally just as important as your Mallow but he gets to appear in cameos and stuff, while Mallow is left in the dust. Then Ultimate comes out and Mallow is a spirit. It's not a Geno & Mallow spirit, Geno doesn't get to intrude in anyway. It's just a simple spirit battle who references your favorite game. A little detail. But you have never felt so seen and cared for as a Mallow fan.
The devil is in the details, and the masterpiece is in the details too. If Smash Ultimate had exactly the same roster, with the same gameplay, but no care and love for details in the background, in the victory screens and its approach to single player content was more on the level of Smash 4...
It would still be an 8.5/10 game at minimum, but it would also be so much worse at what its trying to do.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's been two years and Smash Ultimate is still such a beautiful game that keeps being given attention and players keep going back to it not just because it's a really pretty games with good gameplay mechanics. But because every inch of it has been crafted with love, care and attention to details.
You can have the best gameplay, and the nicest graphics but if you don't care to put all your passion into polishing your game as much as possible nobody will care (coughcoughMarvelVsCapcomInfinitecough)
it seems like I have a few questions to costume designer of "The Giggle" episode in DW

Final Fantasy VII has completely taken over my brain for the last month pls send help /j
I’ve been thinking about that since the game came out, got a theory about it
I think Zack’s Cloud overwrote that worlds Cloud, kinda like saving 2 files with the same name in the same place.
Zack would be fine since that worlds him already died, so there's nothing to overwrite there. Cloud on the other hand was still alive and spent about a week running around in Midgar.
Maybe only 1 of each person can exist at the same time, so Cloud just vanished? He wasn't with the rest of Avalanche (+ Local Florist & Lab Rat Dog) at the start of Rebirth, but his actions & people's memory of him weren't erased.
TL:DR: I think Zack's Cloud / Cloud #2 overwrote that universe's Cloud File Explorer style
Actually, where is Cloud Strife #1? Who we’re following in Rebirth is (I’m guessing) Cloud Strife #2 (#3 or #4, etc. depending on your perspective, who keeps count anymore?). Cloud Strife #1 is currently missing. And we know they’re not talking about Zack in this scenario.
Some people say that he’s with Sephiroth at “The Edge” or wherever they were fighting at the end of Remake. Some say that missing!Cloud is the one we’re following in Rebirth. Some say he was displaced in another “timeline” (again there are other theories that say that there are no timelines or time travel involved, instead these “timelines” are “manifestations of dreams and thoughts from the Lifestream,” which I would love to get into but I don’t want this post to be that long).
But again, where did Cloud go???
Cloud Strife doodle from work
so Zack gives Aerith the ribbon she wears until the day she dies, he suggests she wears pink and she does, and it seems like there’s forget me nots on her letters to him and that matches her necklace. And she keeps that ribbon and that dress until she dies and when Cloud lowers her into the water, reuniting her and Zack, she’s still wearing the date dress for Zack. And let’s not forget all the sweet compliments Zack gives Aerith and how hard he worked on her flower wagon! And how Aerith loved him so much she waited for him even longer than they’d dated! And Zack loved her so much he literally died trying to see her again! She was one of the last things he was thinking about as he died. 😭 it’s also very sweet how Cloud keeps reuniting Zack and Aerith. Of course he’d do anything for his friend who kept him safe, but he reunites Zack and Aerith when he lowers her into the water, he does it by taking Zacks sword to Aeriths church, and then he does again by taking Aeriths flowers to Zacks grave. Cloud loves his friends and he is the biggest Zerith shipper.
