Review of Final Fantasy Ⅶ Remake
It is often said that "3D Hentai can't lose Tifa Lockhart, just as the West can't lose Jerusalem". Once being a heavy user of Wallpaper Engine (you know it), someday I decided on a whim to visit the Remake of this game, to pilgrim.
My experience at the beginning was magnificent as expected. However, as the story progressed, elegant and charming Aerith Gainsborough arrested more of my attention. It was not that a tender and caring sister (with high damage burst) was bad, but that, in comparison with the diplomacy of Tifa, the optimism and innocence (and Gatling gun of magic) of Aerith attracts me more. Regarding the Skill adopted by the "star of the Seventh Heaven", I prefer to be a fan of Aerith (but not really Clerith) who acts out of her Knowledge of the world. She was amazing, while a question later came to me that "Aerith is such a girl of mystery, would it be a problem ?" It was not about spending mental energy for M. Cloud Strife, but, once we project the abstracted story onto the reality, about handling the secrets of us. Would it be a problem ?

I have once discussed about the secrets three years ago without putting pen to paper. Maybe sounding like a so-called "boomerang", I believed that secrets should be eliminated, or understanding should be complete, at that time, especially for intimate relations, while now I am evaluating others regardless of their backgrounds in practice. Probably I did know that the understanding is limited while the existence of secret is absolute back then, but I was not persuaded until these days by my getting older that "complete understanding" is too costly to be possible.
Though the final goal was a daydreaming, there were still two concepts remaining worthy, encouraging a update of previous idea into a more systematic methodology. For one thing, rather than some cheap thrills, I would like to have "refined" relations with adequate mutual understandings; for another, the dispelling of secrets could be beneficial for intimate relations.
Why we ask for less secrets and better understanding ? For one thing, we need them to figure out whether certain could satisfy our personal need or not (but understand yourself first); for another, stable relation with less uncertainty seems more attractive, which could be reinforced by better understanding or less secrets. These two "push" the urge of "stepping forward" in form of curiosity but suspicion as well. (The desire of domination and control matters but is not concerned here.) On the other end of the balance, a rare and precious quality is the courtesy to the volition of others, where our inquiries may incur unwanted or unnatural results. Such a self-restriction "drags" on the other side, resulting a dilemma of secret handling.
Fortunately, the dilemma could be softened into an equilibrium with proper personal judgement about the value of certain relation. A beneficial relation enables our push and its development; while other relations are suspended by us. Then for a progressing relation, the decisive factor to distingush it from being runaway is the drag of courtesy and, that is, letting the sleeping secrets lie.
A professional of psychology once compared the progress of relation with "attempt to step inside the boundary" and our models are alike. Such a model raises the importance of handling secrets and its licence-like function. A detailed discussion over the threshold setting and relation classification would be a natural next step to take while it is unnecessary now, lol. Here I am writing these for arranging my thoughts while all I need to do now is holding myself to my unspoken promise. Et je souhaite que ma mademoiselle Sakubus prenne son temps et soit heureuse, c'est tout.
Back to the game itself, it sounds amusing that I've played it for an entire year and even ridiculous that I've managed to finish the main story in Hard mode before clearing the combat simulator (damn it) But it is significant to me, the attempts, Aerith the lovely girl, even some analysis videos from Clerith fan have taught me a lot. Then I cross my hand and hope the Rebirth may release its PC edition ASAP so that I would not be spoiled, lol.
