What follows is quite possibly the most disturbing scene ever found in an RPG. Cloud enters the unoccupied room along with the woman dressed as a slutty bee. She leads him over to a hot tub and asks if they should get started. "I guess that since you chose this room, that would mean you...hate being lonely?" I make Cloud say, "Cut the small talk." Clearly, he has no idea what's in store for him. "Come on, everyone's waiting," Slutty Bee tells him. As if on cue, there's a knock on the door and a large group of muscle men, most likely from the gym, run in. Cloud jumps out of the way in fear. I don't blame him. Some guy named Mukki says, "Wassup!!" I believe this game pre-dated that whole stupid "wazzup" commercial craze, so you can see that our popular media gets their ideas from gay crossdressing muscle men in Japanese video games.
I can make Cloud choose "I'm outta here" or "This could be dangerous....". I have no idea if it even matters what you pick during this scene, but I'm going to pick the choices that sound the most like they will extend the scene. So I pick the second. "Looks like I'm always going to be facing crises all my life...," is Cloud only reaction to the imminent molestation, like it's just one of those things he has to put up with. Mukki tells Cloud (who he calls "Bubby") to loosen up. He also says "...heave...pant..." between all of his lines. Disturbing. "Let's wash off all our sweat and dirt together!" Mukki suggests. "Wassup!!" Hey, I never said the dialogue made sense.
Cloud, despite his verbal protestations, makes no move to actually leave. The camera pans up suddenly, so that all we see is the top of Cloud's spiky hair. "Bubby! You're the intimate type, huh!!" Mukki says. It sounds dirty, but I have no clue what it means. There's some more of those "RPG clothing removal" sounds like we heard in the Clothing Store earlier, and Mukki, between more heaving and panting, shrieks, "Wow!! Would ya look at that!" Yes, he means Cloud's wang, for those of you who are innocent or slow. Not that I want to think about it, but I imagine that Cloud's unit is probably all blocky and crappy-looking like the rest of him. No, that doesn't turn me on. I'll probably have nightmares now.
The camera pans over as the guys "force" Cloud into the hot tub. We can still only see the tops of their heads. Once they are all decently in the tub, and no one's blocky units or asses are visible, the camera pans back down. All ten or so of the guys are squished into the little tub with Cloud. Once again, he's not exactly resisting. Mukki keeps jabbering about random [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]. He asks Cloud, "How is it? Feels good, huh?" I think he's just talking about bathing....until I read the reply choices: "......" or "It hurts". IT HURTS?! My innocent little self suddenly realizes just what they were doing to him all along. Okay, so I'm not innocent, I thought they were taking advantage of him all along, but I never expected them to actually live down to my sick expectations in a Final Fantasy game.
"I don't feel good. Let me out...," Cloud whines. Apparently he got more than he bargained for. At least it's not this. "You'll get used to it. Try counting to ten." My eyes are wide with shock, and two thoughts are running through my mind: "holy freaking [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]" and "hey....why couldn't they have a bath scene with Squall and Seifer?. Cloud starts counting down, rather than....I don't know, maybe running away. Mukki continues to make small talk while violating Cloud. He asks his age, and when Cloud tells him "twenty-one", Mukki admits that he's more than twice that old. He's old enough to be Cloud's dad. Ew. There are rhythmic wet sounds through this entire scene, by the way.
Next, Mukki asks if Cloud wants to join his "Young bubby's group". What the freakin' hell is a bubby anyway? I make Cloud answer "........" because we all know that he really does want to join the young bubby group. Hell, I think he's joining it right this second. When Cloud reaches the number six in his countdown, he says, "Not to be rude or anything, but could you go do someone else?" I love how he's all concerned about manners when he's being assaulted. Mukki replies, "Well, if that's how you feel....too bad." I do believe we call that "nonconsensual"....although I still think Cloud secretly enjoys it. I mean, it's not like he's counting to ten all that fast. When he finally finishes -- counting to ten, that is -- he gets out of the tub. Mukki is sad. "Why don't you stick around and play a bit?" he wonders. "Daddy's so lonely...." Now that's just wrong.
The camera pans up again so that we can't see any blocky male nudity, and suddenly everyone is out of the tub and dressed. Well, as dressed as they were before. The slutty bee chick is still in the background during this entire scene. Mukki apparently enjoyed his ravishment of Cloud, and gives him "bikini briefs" as a souvenir of their little encounter. I still don't know whether I'm highly amused or horribly disturbed. I think I want to cry.
