i'm playing the original for the first time (i played the remakes first, yes i'm awful, don't wanna hear it) and today i got vincent and why doesn't anyone talk about the easter egg of the safe code???
36-10-59-97 is the code to the safe with the basement key (and lost number) in the original. but the SAME CODE is used in shinra manor's basement during the part where you control cait sith. used in completely different parts of the manor. but still there. i recognized it INSTANTLY.
when they're at home these cats just sleep all over them. vincent and cid and reeve all napping on their couch tangled together and absolutely covered in cats. including cait sith sometimes
Stray cats keep ending up in the Reevincid household and no one knows who is doing it. Was it Reeve, Vincent, Cid, CAIT????
Trick question. It's a different one every time. Sometimes Cid finds a cat on his smoke breaks or Vincent finds one on his recon missions. Reeve feeds strays with a remote control car from his office desk and they follow the car home. Cait just yoinks one up whenever he's out and about.

yuffie taking .5s of vincent and sending them to reeve in official channels
LITERALLY I LOVE THEM
Cid, Reeve, and Vincent together form a functional human being.
Underrated ship
Hi tumblr been a while since i last posted check this out
i've said it once and i'll say it again: the worst part of final fantasy iv is the the part right after they defeat the giant of babil and cecil makes rosa and rydia get off of the lunar whale because "he needs to protect them" (implying they cannot protect themselves) (they've been functioning as healers for the last 10 hours of gameplay and cecil can't learn white magic past cura. he can't heal for shit!) (implying the final team against zeromus is going to be five men.) and then rosa and rydia sneak on the lunar whale and they come along anyway.
you will never convince me that makes sense. that after years of knowing rosa, that out of the blue cecil no longer respects rosa as a knight, and rydia as a summoner. NONSENSE. random, misogynstic nonsense.
day dreaming about commissioning someone to draw rufus and tseng from my own fic. i know what i want it to look like but i can't draw for the LIFE OF ME.
imagine. it's sunset in junon. rufus and tseng stand side by side, rufus leaning over the railing on the airstrip. rufus is looking over the ocean, tseng is not-so-subtly looking lovingly at rufus. rufus is in a baby blue sweater vest, a white dress shirt underneath, khakis and dress shoes. a jacket tied over his shoulders, a platinum wristwatch on his wrist. his hair is gelled back. tseng is out of uniform too- a deep red silky dress shirt, not quite buttoned all the way up. he's wearing black slacks and his holster, his hair down and cascading over his shoulders.
is the vision there?? do we see it?? do we hate it??

zack revival after meteorfall au where he has chronic pain and cloud takes care of him on his hard days which is hard for zack because he's always been the one taking care of everyone around him. he was helping aerith with her flower wagons, he was trying to help angeal and sephiroth and genesis stay sane, hell he was trying to help cloud with his motion sickness!! and now his body revolts and makes him sore and exhausted for days on end.
cloud tries to convince him he really doesn't mind takin' care of him, that he loves him, but it's hard for him to take, y'know? it's hard to accept help when it feels like accepting defeat, and it's even harder to accept help when you don't exactly know what's goin' on.
ugh i'm so tired of this you guys
you guys i love billy. you will be hard pressed to find an npc i didn't fall in love with though. broden and regina and roche and leslie and johnny and jules and chadley and oates and marlene and biggs and wedge and jessie and zhijie and urgh i just find the npcs all so lovable!!!
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth | ▶ dev. Square Enix
zack comes back to life after meteorfall au where zack and cloud are spending time together and cloud says something about how he feels like a monster sometimes and zack freaks tf out bc thats how angeal and genesis and sephiroth all felt before they tried to kill him.
okay you know the meme where person a says "i'm going to (go do something)" and person b says "not dressed like that you aren't!" and then person a says "is this better?" and person b says "yaas bitch slay"
that but genesis and minerva.
genesis: i'm going to go kidnap my brother from a cave!
minerva: not dressed like that you aren't!
genesis: is this better?
minerva: yaas bitch slay!
this is insane im sorry i can't make memes. does this make sense??
...still confused a little about somethin' everyone else seems to take in stride.
what exactly is the relationship between cait sith and reeve tuesti...?
like, cait is a robot. there are multiple copies of cait sith, ala the extra one in reeve's office in rebirth, the one being crushed in chapter 13 of rebirth, the one that blows up in dirge of cerberus. dirge of cerberus also has that awful scene where there's a cait sith inside of a reeve robot. (it. scared me. so. bad.)
does reeve control him? but he doesn't have to, 24/7, because in dirge of cerberus, the two are in the same room, and they interact. and you know, cait works 24/7, even when reeve is in board meetings and whatever. does he program him from his office?
maybe that's why cait takes a nap is cosmo canyon and freezes at the end of nibelheim, in rebirth. he's being updated with reeve's new information...?
okay this is just me being mad about something irrelevant so feel free to skip this one but! i was scrolling away on youtube, as a bored final fantasy fan who was away from home does. then, i find this video:
i see this and go 'oh my gosh, my favorite. an uninformed idiot made a whole video. can't wait to hate watch!" little did i know i would barely make it two minutes in. i save the video, and when i get home, i start dinner and turn this on.
according to this guy, the first thing the game "doesn't tell you"... is what punisher mode is. you know, the like, major function of cloud's kit. that they explain. and i was so mad i closed the video, went downstairs to my faithful ps5, and slotted the data disc into it to redownload the whole game to prove this guy wrong.
a half hour later (i went and finished my dinner while it was downloading dw) i start a new game, and lo and behold, literally like, four battles in, is the explanation for punisher mode:
JESUS CHRIST. WHAT THE FUCK??? anyway. i was so mad and i'm literally right and i don't care i just needed this out of my noggin.
absolutely gonna rewatch advent children this week
I'm overdue for a FFVII Advent Children rewatch so here we go
started the original final fantasy seven. everyone is SO MISOGYNISTIC??? i said i was scared when i was going to fall off of a FREAKING MAKO REACTOR (#5, if it wasn't obvious) and barret told me to "stop crying like a girl" OH MY GOD?? YOU DO IT??!!! YOU HANG OFF THE EDGE AND DON'T BE SCARED??!!! WHAT.
also i HATE this weird tifa-aerith beef. i DEFINITELY prefer whatever they have going on in the remake continuity. please stop bullying each other. please stop asking if i'm dating one or the other. i don't even. care.
also cait sith in the honeybee inn?? was so funny. why was he there??
but also i LOVE all the details that are like, wow, this was a piece of the background. you made this a two hour gimmick. (this is about those fucking robot hands in sector six.)
does anyone else get bored in class and just start doing anything they can think of to talk about their idiot blorbos. i've gotten so bored recently i made a list of their illnesses. i even seperated them as like, canon versus implied versus complete headcanon. making relationship charts. anything. tbh i would take ideas too atp. send HELP!!
playing rebirth makes me feel SO BAD for reeve/cait sith. he tries SO HARD to convince AVALANCHE that he's truly on their side, that he wants to help people and do the right thing, and right when they're FINALLY warming up to him, rufus/tseng/whoever makes him throw that trust away and give away the keystone. he doesn't WANT TO T-T
even in the beginning of chapter 12, when he pulls cloud aside, he's trying to talk them out of going, so he doesn't have to trick his friends. he doesn't want to betray these people who are trying to save the planet.
side note. do we think any other exectives know about reeve's little switcheroo with the wanted posters??
i love leslie kyle. he's:
1) helping literal terrorists go do more terrorism bc at least they're not his sex trafficking mob boss
2) just looking for his fiancee/girlfriend (he says girlfriend in TKAA:ATSS but says fiancee in remake continuity so...)
3) going to eventually becomes friends/coworkers with kyrie canaan. the future angel of the slums kyrie canaan.
4) voiced by mark whitten. i just like him, really.
5) still wearing that UGLY LEOPARD PRINT JACKET. STILL.
on my rebirth replay i had the stellar idea to write down the loveless prelude and compare it to the "original" loveless poem. also it's color-coded.
later i'm gonna think harder about my big "explore differences" note. maybe on the airplane. i mean, what do you do on an airplane anyway? analyze fictional religious poetry.
rebirth hard mode update:
aw man. everyone was right. rufus stinks. i forgot he was IMMUNE TO ELEMENTAL DAMAGE?? HOW??
plus, i'm going on vacation, and i will not get another opportunity to try again until i get back. he's just gonna haunt me for a week. i'm gonna watch so many videos about hard mode rufus. i'm gonna get him. i am not going to pysche myself out of fighting him. i am gonna get him. he's gonna say "and yet here. you. are." in that stupid tone that i like so much when he summons darkstar. and i'll blow him up.
darkstar/dark nation i want to know your gender.
why doesn't anyone gender you ever????? not in the original (although tbf dark dies RIGHT AWAY in og). not in remake and rebirth.
PLEASE TELL ME THE GENDER OF YOUR DOG DOOFUS SHINRA. IT MAKES IT HARD TO WRITE ABOUT YOUR DOG AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO SAID DOG.
HELP THEY'RE SO CUTE.
This joke could be told 500 times and it would never be enough for me
thinking about "say goodnight, pippilly...!" followed by the losing music.
i like to imagine reeve is embarrassed, a little, about using cait sith. everyone else on the team can use their real bodies, really be in the fight, physically put their lives and livelihoods on the line. aerith gainsborough dies, in their quest to save the planet from sephiroth. in dirge of cerberus, he holds himself as if he doesn't see himself as a real member of the group, only someone who helped out.
i think yuffie probably helps the most with this- recalling things cait sith did in battle, treating him as if he's been there the whole time. (she's probably got a little bit of it on her own, what with being the youngest member, and with different motivations than everyone else.)
when cid and vincent get clued in on reeve's imposter syndrome, they're probably much less subtle about supporting him. cid isn't exactly a subtle man in the first place, and vincent doesn't do a lot of nuance in his day-to-day life (autistic old man.). telling reeve how proud they are of the good he's doing, attending all his little team building whatchamacallits, just generally doing their best to be supportive. by being the best husbands they can be.
rebirth hard mode update:
those adjudicators and yin and yang with JUST CAIT??? oh. my gosh. AAAAAAAAH. thank goodness for the fat moogle acting as another target 🙏🙏🙏
also i did NOT get the box throwing game my first playthrough... but i had much more luck this time, it only took me three tries :) not. that. bad!!
LOOK WHO CAME IN THE MAIL!!!!! HE'S SO SMALL. AND SO CUTE. RENOOOOOOOO :D
