Once again, The FF7 Romance Debate.

[Ryushikaze]

Actually I have seen it about 5-7 times dubbed. Everytime I see it shows Rude saying that he lives with the children. I know it's a church but if there were children involved taken; he asks where are the children, that would indicate an orphanage now wouldn't it?

Hint- He was referring to Denzel and Marlene.

I am too busy to actually quote every little little point... but I can use process of elimination; Square-Enix would never have a Final Fantasy w/o a lovestory; by simply using process of elimination we can see what Square wanted us to believe.

FF1-2-3. And even then if we assume you can use process of elimination, your process is still wanting.
Addendum: 5, too.

Actually if you watch closely, Selphie and Yuffie have similar mannerisms and are the same type of characters, free spirited and childish. Square-Enix has a forumla of characters from what I noticed, there is always a renegade, a Childish Character, and a badass someone has to defeat. FF characters can be compared, it just depends on qhich ones are being compared. Of course you can't compare Squall and Cloud, they have two totally different personalities, but why not Selphie and Yuffie, or Tifa and Celes? Personality-wise such characters are similar.

Yuffie and Selphie have some superficial similarities. This does not make them the same. Of course, you yourself admit that Cloud and Squall are not alike. What works for one might not work for the other.

IN all seriousness, your case is just as hypothetical as mine; you act as if yours is written fact. There are multiple explanations for one incident. How do you know that Geostigma only affected him for a short amount of time, its not like the movie was very descriptive, he could have had it anywhere from a few months after to 2 years later. The movie failed to describe or extend much of the story hence why you and I assume so much.

I'm not just relying on the movie. There ARE supplemental materials. I suggest you familiarize yourself with them. My position is supported by a lot more evidence than yours, which has almost none in the concrete department.

Aeris was mysterious in the sense of her powers, just as Terra was in FF6 (the esper).

And? How is this relevant to Aerith, as a person, or Tina, as a person, being mysterious? Moreover, how is this relevant to Cloud's emotions?
