I playedFinal Fantasy 7for the first time a couple months ago -RemakeandRebirth, not the original.
A couple months before that, I underwent an assessment for neurodivergency - autistic tendencies.
This is one hell of an opener.
How are these two things relevant to each other?
Surprisingly, I found myself seeing similarities in the struggles of Cloud Strife.
Scratch what I said earlier, theres nothing cool or mysterious about it.
Its actually incredibly frustrating, something that fights back as hard as I fight to fit in.
You don’t need to tell me I’m not actually cool and mysterious; I know.
Final Fantasy 7 Retrospection, Am I Right?
A call to action?In this economy?
Hes just a cut-off guy, too good for everyone, and only cares about himself.
I know thats been true in the past, and that makes a lot more sense to me now.
Where you might think Cloud is unfeeling, stoic, and stone cold, hes not.
Hes just kinda like me.
That realisation has been one of the most surprising moments Ive ever experienced in a game.
Especially that last bit.
When Cloud doesnt understand Aerith signalling for a high five?
Yep, I feel that.
When Cloud cant take a compliment and spouts some dry, unrelated response?
Me too, buddy.
Right now, Im struggling to really convey whats on my mind with this.
Maybe Im still figuring that bit out.
Needless to say, Final Fantasy 7 has quickly become special to me.
