I’m playing through the remake now and getting intensely anticapitalist vibes

    Kinda? There's a special scene in the lull between the second and third acts where Cloud has a Moment with one of his party members. Barret's is the hardest to get and honestly also pretty great. It's not romantic tho. I can link it/them if you want to see it/them

        Moreso than in the original IMO. Barret's honestly the standout character of the remake, he's so good. And I say this as a trans girl whose egg was partially cracked by sheer envy aimed at Aerith's look

            Moreso the boots and her jacket, I've since discovered that dresses do nothing for me. I'm a jumpsuit gal honestly. I have a pair of coveralls which I'm pretty sure are actually intended for doing manual labor in, and I wear it with a heeled boot and I feel so fucking queer

            Weird thing is, I've since disovered that I prefer to present more masc. I think I was envious mainly of Aerith's combat boots and her attitude lmao

            The whole time Aerith is hatching the plan for Cloud to sneak into Corneo's mansion, he's acting like he doesn't want to do it but then he goes out of his way to get the best lingerie and makeup and tiara and ends up the prettiest girl.

            He did have his gender confirmed by medical means. He never felt like he was the man he wanted to be and and after an underground treatment society saw him that way. There is something there
