As a child playing it, i thought it was super serious. Haha.


But i feel i appreciate it more today as I can understand the undertones and suggestive themes that occur. It does get pretty dark if you dive into the back story. Even now, i don't see a problem with Cloud dressing up like a women... it just makes sense. Hell, its what I would d... ah forget that.


I also like the little things that characters say.. like when leaving Midgar and you choosing the party of Tifa and Aerith. Barret will comment on it. Brings a smile to my face. Many people may never even see that, but its there anyway. Kinda cute.


I think the mix of humour and seriousness is well done.


And the Aerith not bleeding thing. I agree, it probably has very little to do with the blade or where she was stabbed. Its a ratings thing, a technical thing, or just an oversight (like Sephiroth's appearing and disappearing gloves).


Might be fun to watch... or not.
