You know, I'd joked in the past that, from a Doylist perspective, the cross-dressing sequence in Final Fantasy VII mostly exists as a characterisation vehicle for Aerith's blatant boys-in-dresses kink, but playing through the remake and seeing its decision to have Aerith sitting there just straight open-mouth hyperventilating – heavy breathing on the soundtrack and all – while watching Cloud get dolled up in drag is a lot more explicit than I expected them to make it.

Okay, so: the premise of the Final Fantasy VII remake is that the audience's demand for the remake to follow exactly the same plot as the original has manifested as a horde of evil ghosts who intervene in order to keep the story on the expected rails, with a particular emphasis on ensuring that characters in the remake die at the same times and under the same circumstances as their original counterparts. At the end of the remake's first instalment, Cloud and friends fight and defeat the king of the Evil Plot Ghosts, an act which breaks time and creates a multiverse where everybody's fanfic is real. Sephiroth subsequently merges with all the fanfic versions of himself and becomes some sort of fucked up metanarrative god. Later, Cloud simultaneously succeeds and fails in preventing Aerith's death, which partially dislocates him from the prime narrative reality, and he begins perceiving an adjacent universe where Zack never died. The Aerith of that universe then teams up with Cloud to fight Hyperdimensional Meta Bullshit Sephiroth, a battle that ends inconclusively when Sephiroth flees, stranding Zack-lives-universe Aerith in the prime narrative reality, though only Cloud can see her. The game closes with the revelation that, unbeknownst to everyone else, Sephiroth slipped the Black Materia into Cloud's pocket during their fight, setting in motion the events of the unpublished third instalment. Have I got all that straight?

Wanted to give Myrna's new design a try!
[Image Description: Digital artwork of Barret and Myrna Wallace, shown from the waist up. Myrna is depicted with her Rebirth design, while Barret still has his right hand. They are kissing, Myrna with one hand against Barret's chest and the other lifted around the back of his head, while Barret has his hand against her back. /end ID]
