Thread: I Won't Forget You, Elmyra

    Default I Won't Forget You, Elmyra

    Remember her? Aeris' mom? Was taking care of Marlene?

    Then later on Marlene is kidnapped and held hostage by Shinra and Aeris dies.

    ..but Elmyra's never mentioned. Nobody thought "we should tell her that her daughter died" or "did Shinra rough her up to get Marlene?"

    Cloud brings flowers from her to Aerith's grave lake in On the Way to a Smile.

    This is one of the things that saddens me most. They find Elmyra to say Aerith is kidnapped, but when she dies, nobody thinks to mention it.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    Reeve totally went to see her after Aerith's death. If you talk to Cait Sith on the bridge of the Highwind (I forget exactly when in the story, but possibly after the 'ancient key' episode at the Forgotten City), he says that he told Elmyra about Aerith's loss, and that Elmyra and Marlene were both deeply affected.

    Was the flower post not enough to show she knew it?

    You have no idea what canon means and how it is decided. "Canon" means "to count" in the context of fictional story and not whatever fans always think or what they think they can define. They write it, they have the right to make it count. If it is an official part of the story from people who legally own it, it is canon. End of story. Fanon is your idea.

    EDIT: No matter what you think, I know you are trolling in old PuPu-style like a true ranting fanboy posting for the sake of just saying something without using the full official material with the right context (ignoring the axioms of communication at its finest and so not understanding what was intended), but axiomatic things are axiomatic and law is law. That is proven all the time by you making a claim and absolutely ignoring Final Fantasy. You cannot decide it, the creators do. And when they create something and make it an official part of their world it is canonical. That is how it is and nothing else. They have the rights. And you don't know the canonicity. The Ultimania Omega and the Compilation are the fact that the earth is spinning and no matter what you think or claim, it is like this. You claiming to know things but not accepting officially right material is amusing at best so I will no longer waste my time. The earth will spin without you knowing and even when you're gone. Square decides what is canonical. They make something more official for the universe so it is canonical. You think of something as your head-canon and are a fan, so what you think but does not fit the canonical material, is fanon.

    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    We were only talking about the game, Sephiroth, not a story that came out several years after the game.

    I remember her, I can just never remember her name.

    I'm not sure if I ever caught that Cait Sith discussion myself. I was a teenager and didn't have a computer the last time I played it to completion.

    I always mistook her for Cloud's mother. Has a ring to it. Elmyra Strife.

    Plot twist: Cloud and Aerith were brother and sister all along!
    Cloud/Aerith shippers aren't the least bit hindered by this development.
