Side Quests 038: Final Fantasy VII 23 with Mr. Wesley Schantz and Mr. Alexander Schmid
Fort Condor
Selfish request:
fight
fund
Take all risk
But they are desperate; their wives sent away
Fun strategy mini game; too broke, and then too broke to buy all
Mideel
Fight Weapon after no progress on Cloud
Real bonding moment; don’t need Cloud to beat bosses
Beta and region are killing it
Hitting stride
Fall into the Lifestream
Cid shows real leadership
Tifa assumes role of “piecing Cloud back together”; or rather guide to his process
Though she herself runs from accusations in the darkness
Cloud realizes that he was not the SOLDIER, but he was a Shinra normal trooper. Zach was defeated by Sephiroth and Cloud took Sephiroth from behind, but then through him off the ledge and into the mako of a mako reactor while impaired on Sephiroth’s disbelieving blade; also holding Jenova’s head
Cloud also apparently did not fit in and was not close to Tifa and actually liked her and blamed himself for her injury as a child(impulsive journey by Tifa up Mt. Nibel on the night her mom died)which he felt kept them apart; felt also more mature like character in the Idiot
So journey back to Mt. Nibel all the more symbolic, and Tifa rather than being second string to Aeris (now known to be attracted to Cloud only because he was like Zack) is the primary reason for Cloud’s pursuit of strength and eventual delusion!@
