→Aerith likes schmucks?
Line 394:
* Most of the ''[[Relationship Values]]'' for Tifa/Aerith date sequence in the original game makes sense. But in [[Crisis Core]], it really bugs me that the way to increase Aerith's affection with Zack is to be a schmuck ''continuously''. You have to believe in all the market NPCs while they ''help'' you, when they are obviously treating you like an idiot and letting the thief run away. So... what exactly does this say about Aerith -- she likes her men naive to the point of being a [[Cloudcuckoolander]]?
** I interpreted it as "points for being in-character", since Crisis Core's date points differ from [[Final Fantasy VII|FF7]]'s in that the only possible outcome is Aeris, and, to be fair, Zack is pretty much a grade-A sucker. I mean--look at how suggestible he is when interacting with, say, the other 1st Class SOLDIERs, or with Yuffie, or even with freaking Hojo, who, if you inspect the giant sample tube while you're protecting him, manages to trap Zack inside just by telling him to look closer for what's in it (nothing, until Zack himself).
** Aerith apparently likes nice people, who show compassion and kindness. Believing what people tell you isn't very effective at catching criminals, but it is nice. So it's not that Aerith likes her men naive, it's that she is herself rather naive in her outlook and values, and wants the man she dates to reflect those values.
