Title: Kh Ending


AeRîŠ_š†rIƒE - November 21, 2004 09:12 AM (GMT)
What did u guys first think of the Kh ending of cloud and aErith? were u satisfied? did it answer some questions or clarify their relationship in some way? Personally, i wanted to see more than Cloud scratching his head in embarassment.

I loved the ending of KH. Cloud's expression was perfect. He's always been hesitant and uncertain of himself around Aerith... but it was quite obvious who he wanted to see when he walked in that room. ;)

I do wish they had gone further by having Cloud embrace her... at least! A kiss would have been even better. But Nomura said that he wanted to leave that scene open to interpretation... unfortunately.... and I guess that's why Square didn't go any further. :( Nomura did make it clear, however, that Cloud searching for Aerith was a possible interpretation of KH.

It was a dear scene, and I loved it... but I do wish it had gone further. Let's hope that happen in KH2! :D

I'm ashamed to admit that I still haven't finished KH even though I started playing it months ago. For some reason I lost my interest when I reached Hook's ship. I just want to see FF characters! <_<

Let's hope I can force myself to finish it before KH2 is released.

:( Andine... don't you find Riku cute?
me wuvs me silver haired men

Actually, i am not satisfied with the kh ending, riku being trapped on the dark side aside, the scene of cloud x aerith is too short, and small...it's a little square at the corner of me tv screen :angry:
But their expressions are cute i guess...the way Aerith does her famous bending-forward-with-hands-clasped-behind pose. ^_^

Bleh! Of course I do, sweetie! It's a well known fact that I adore silver haired men. Sephy, Yazoo, Kadaj...mmm...and I think you can almost count Kuja into that group as well, or was his hair more white than silver? :)

Riku is cute, but he's no Sephy. ^_^

Ooh, that pose is just too cute! I tried to do it once myself but it didn't look as cute. *sigh* I suppose I just need to accept the fact that I'm no Aerith. :rolleyes:
Anything she does is cute.

I loved the ending! That scene was adorable, but...I wanted to see more. Well, I hope they get to be in KH 2...
Deprived of CloudxAerith-ness for too long

Seii Monogatari - November 21, 2004 08:39 PM (GMT)
Yeah, it was too short, but it was there and that's what counts!! And there was no Tifa, at all, in the game ever. So any doujin-ka or fan fic writers are grasping at straws to say that he saw Aeris, but *THEN* Tifa arrived on her gummy ship and they embraced and reunited. Those things make me wanna gag.

I doubt they'll ever resolve the Love Triangle, but if they do, it's not gonna be CloTi. We know if they did it would be Cloud x Aeris, because they were official before Tifa was ever even thought about. So Cloud and Tifa couldn't really have "Eternal Love," considering Cloud was in love with Aeris before 'Tifa' ever 'existed'...

I just hope that Tifa is never included in KH. Which she won't be, of that I am sure.

One other thing, if Nomura said that he left the ending open to interperetation, that must mean that he wanted all fans to be able to interperet it the way they wanted, right? So that means it is relevant to the love triangle after all, even if not directly.

Silly Clotis...

Nomura also said that the ending of KH might answer questions about Cloud and Aerith's relationship in FFVII, which conclusively means that it pertains to the Love Triangle - despite what some people want to believe. <_<

The only reason they left it open to interpretation is because not all people think Cloud loved Aerith. Besides the CloTi's, there's people who think Cloud loved Sephy, Yuffie, Barret, Mukkie, Zack, and some who think Cloud loved no one at all. Nomura said he didn't want to decide for the player what Cloud is like, and he therefore left it open to interpretation. That means he left it open to ALL interpretations. But if it indicates that Cloud loves anyone, it indicates that Cloud loves Aerith.... and that can't be denied. ;)

Carmencita - November 22, 2004 04:42 AM (GMT)
Man, that Nomura person is goooood. :lol:

I thought that the ending was kind of nice... but I was kind of disappointed with Cloud and Aerith's ending. I wish there were some dialogue or a less ambiguous gesture in Cloud or Aerith's parts. But at least I know that in the end, they got together. :D

I love that pose! :) I agree with Andina that anything Aeris does is cute. Anyway I also thought the scene was a little too short for my taste. If they would have added a hug between the the two it would have been much better. Oh well! At least they put something in.

Marionette - November 22, 2004 06:37 AM (GMT)
I thought it was short and sweet it's was definitely an "awwww" moment. It was a nice little bonus for the people who played final fantasy 7 and are familiar with these two wonderful characters and the type of bond they share. ^_^

ice_spitz - November 22, 2004 08:25 AM (GMT)
i agree that the Cleris part at the end is too short... we didn't anything that heavily implied Cleris! *sniff* But to people like me who play KH before FFVII, it looked almost 100% Cleris. I didn't even know that Tifa existed. LOL. ^_^ you just can't argue about this... Cloud and Aerith look soo cute together!

Sefie - November 22, 2004 08:42 PM (GMT)
Awww, I thought the ending was perfect. It was in character for them. They were never a huggy kissy couple. Cloud was shy, and Aeris was aware of that and acted accordingly. So, gazing into each other's eyes was pefect for them. Plus, I thought it was TOTALLY sweet. A scene dosen't have to involve a kiss to be sweet

Yukari - November 22, 2004 09:41 PM (GMT)
I thought their reunion was adorable. Of course I wished it could have been longer, but we have to remember that the FF characters weren't integral to the story so it's only natural that they wouldn't get a lot of focus. But the reunion scene was sweet, I was grinning stupidly at the tv while I watched the credits.

Clorith - November 23, 2004 08:03 AM (GMT)
Ice!! You're here too! ^_^

I loved the ending! There we were still reeling from the extremely FFVII-ish hand-reach scene and what do we see? Cloud and Aerith finally getting back together! After all these years! ^_^

*gush*

They could have hugged, or at least moved to hug, but it was already enough that he finally found her after all this time.

LOL, go KH!!

Velvy - November 23, 2004 08:59 AM (GMT)
I really do hate it when people say the ending isn't significant. It screams significance. From Nomura's quote--the guy is usually Mr. Vague, but when he talks about this scene, he's very direct, to the scene itself--Ok, Cid wouldn't lean into Cloud like that, Yuffie (who is MORE direct than Aeris) wouldn't lean into Cloud like that, Tifa is no where to be found, ...what's that spell? "They're just friends." Just... friends? FRIENDS DON'T DO THAT. XD It's plain as day! Add to the fact that Aeris is Cloud's light (this is the only interpretation that has been touched upon by Nomura, they say "it was meant for you to take it that way," which is another way of saying, "we planned it like that but we didn't want to say anything"). So there you have it. Significance wrapped up in a tiny less-than-a-minute sequence!

Sefie - November 23, 2004 04:44 PM (GMT)
Here here! *toasts*Velvy hon, I'm really lovin' you! You should come join the LT debates and back us up!

Paksenarrion - December 9, 2004 04:50 PM (GMT)
I need to get back into this game and beat it. :blink:

Velvy's been about the only Cleris in the LT debate at ACF pretty much on her own for months, and she's done a damn good job of it. Go Velvy! :D

What you said about the ending of KH is exactly right. Well said. :rolleyes: Hey, Velvy... did you see what the game manual in CoM says about Cloud? They've all lost their memories in CoM, but the game manual says that Cloud's memories may be of "someone dear" to him:

http://www.geocities.com/itadakimuusu/khcom-cloud1.png
http://www.geocities.com/itadakimuusu/khcom-cloud2.png

Those screens were given to us by Onigiri. (Thanks, Onigiri!) Now, who is the ONLY person in KH who could *possibly* be dear to Cloud? :rolleyes:

Tifa! We just haven't seen her yet. She's going to be mysteriously unveiled in CoM and we'll discover it's really her he's been searching for.
Sorry, I was raised to be a smart alec, it's in my genes.
And sorry Velvy! I wasn't aware you HAD been!*toasts again* Go Velvy!

slowerthanaverage - December 15, 2004 02:36 AM (GMT)
Sefie is right, actually Hades is Tifa in disguise ^_^

Seriously... Normura hates Aerith and loves Tifa so much he decided to put Aerith in KH with Cloud searching for her :blink:

oh wait...maybe Nomura loves Aerith afterall.. :P

Seii Monogatari - December 15, 2004 03:53 AM (GMT)
No, it's so obvious... in KH2, after whoever-the-bad-guy-will-be defeats Cloud and Sora, Tifa jumps in and saves them, then Cloud drops Aeris for Tifa!!!

Oh yeah, don't say I didn't warn you... :rolleyes:

W00T!! I be luvin' mah new siggie!! It's *totally* official and was not manufactured by me in Paint... It really happens in the game, trust me!!!

... Ah well, a girl can dream, can't she? :D

Mira - December 15, 2004 04:05 AM (GMT)
If that happened in AC, I would imagine there would probably be a mass suicide of Cloti Fangirls. There are probably people out there who would pay to see that too. XD

Hee, sorry Marionette!! *fixes heart*

Just expressing my wishes in case any non-existant SE rep should stumble in here and be wowed bah mah skillz!! *dreams of Nomura creating "KH3: Cloud & Aeris Love" because my sig inspired him* That guy must have a fan address, I'll hunt him down if it's the last thing I do!!

If I ever meet him that's what I'll do, I'll ask him who he wanted Cloud with!! Oh yes!! Or maybe I'll talk to him with a C/A shirt with a bunch of Cleris mumbojumbo written in Sharpie all over my arms as an o-so-subtle hint ... yes ... *rubs hands together like a chipmunk/squrrel rodent*
