Final Fantasy 7 is one of my favorite games of all time.... but the story is crazy, nonsensical, and a translation that had much to be desired.
Who knows, Cloud could have been a cybernetic turtle during the wheelchair thing. Some people have different interpretations.

I almost forgot about those pesky little frogs in Final Fantasy VII that transform party members into frogs,…
Can't wait for the steam reviews.
It IS Art...it's just art that we want to be absolutely immune to any sort of criticism that we disagree with is all. Is that so wrong!?
Currently, the media landscape is saturated with depictions of sexual violence that extol its normalcy.
I not only approve of your comment but I think you and I would have a great many things in common.
