Cliffhangers

It occured to me that Square-Enix follows a pattern with Cloud x Aeris. In FFVII there was the hand reach scene at the end, which was abruptly cut off. In KH they meet in Hollow Bastion, and that was also abruptly cut off.

Do you think Advent Children will be the answer to all these cut-off scenes? They always seem like they're just about to connect. :(

HMMm that seems rather intreasting. Maybe I know the ending was very cliffhangerd so maybe it all connects because the trailers are also cliffhangerd.

Interesting idea Velvy!

Hmm..it's also kind of like their relationship. They were almost there, but were cut off suddenly from one another. :(

Either that, or I'm looking way too deeply into it. :lol:

The cliffhangers make the auidence wanting more so thats why they put them in. Square wanted their vamers and views to see what was going to happen next, thats why they did it. But hopefully the cliffie with Cloud and Aeris will be answered in Advent Childern.

I could forgive cliffhangers regarding Kadaj et. al. except for the CloudxAerith thing. The conflict MUST BE RESOLVED right then and there! :devil:

The cliffhangers are exactly what leaves the love triangle unresolved. If it had been shown that Cloud and Aerith embraced and kissed after meeting in Hollow Bastion, for example, there wouldn't be any argument over whether Aerith was the one Cloud was searching for in KH. If Cloud had been able to take Aerith's hand in FFVII, leading to an embrace and a kiss between them, there wouldn't be any debate over Cloud's love interest. It's precisely because Square left these moments as cliffhangers that the debate over his love interest goes on.

I'm hoping that Cloud will meet Aerith in AC so that these cliffhangers are resolved... but there could just as easily be another cliffhanger because Square loves to torture us! :lol:

but Anastar, if there is another Cliffhanger that would mean they would have to make another game/movie and then it would be an ongoing chase to see what happens and eventually every fan will eaither stop or die. So I like Sefie's and Cloriths Idea! Lets Wail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *wails Loudly*

I'd hate it, too, but I really think there will be another cliffhanger.

Nomura has already said that the AC team had decided not to contradict any gamer's interpretation of the game. Resolving the love triangle would contradict many people's idea of the game, no matter who they pair Cloud up with.

Besides Cleris and Cloti fans, there's people out there who believe that Cloud loved Zack, Yuffie, Sephiroth, Barret, and no one. If they put Cloud with Aerith, they'd be contradicting fans of AerithxZack, too. No matter who they pair Cloud up with, many fans will be unhappy. The only way not to contradict any gamer's interpretation of the game is to leave it unresolved, so I expect that's what will happen.

I don't like it, but that's what I'm expecting. :(

But they're not going to contradict any interpretation? How can they make a sequel without contradicting any interpretation? Did they mean storywise or in terms of romantic relationship or what?
