Line 41:
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: Let's see... Tifa loves Cloud, but if he knows she does, he doesn't show it. Johnny has the hots for Tifa too, and ends up running 7th Heaven in her absence because of it. Cloud loves Aerith, but she's still hung up on Zack, so he never makes it past First Base with her. Tseng loves Aerith, but while it was an open secret, he never acted on his feelings. Rude has the hots for Tifa, but every time they encounter one another she either kicks his ass or mouths off to him. Elena loves Tseng, but she's too much of a fangirl to do anything about it. Vincent loved Lucrecia to the point of madness, but she was too busy starfucking Hojo to notice him. Hojo in turn didn't care one wet napkin about Lucrecia. And Shera loved Cid so much she (accidentally) sabotaged his dream rather than let him go through with it and die ([[Earn Your Happy Ending|they eventually get married after Cid learns her side of the story and he names an airship after her]], however).
* [[All There in the Manual]]: The Sapphire WEAPON's name was revealed nearly a decade after the fact when Square began selling figurines of it, [[Ascended Fanon|which is what everyone called it before Square made it official.]]
* [[Always Night]]:
** Midgar seems to be like this, but it's only because of all the smog and fallout from the Mako reactors, and on the world map, it's clearly daytime outside, but the screen and sky become more grey as you're closer to the city. The Cosmo Canyon and Northern Crater areas are also distinct for being set during twilight and at night, respectively.
** The Midgar Slums are an even more extreme example, with all sunlight being completely blocked off by the plate suspended 50 meters in the air. Junon suffers the same exact problem, since it's built just like Midgar.
* [[Anatomy Arsenal]]: Barret's gun arm {{spoiler|and Dyne's}}.
* [[Ancestral Weapon]]: The White Materia.
** Red XIII's weapon, the Seraph Comb, counts as well. When he gets it, you'll want to use him a lot more, since it's his fourth most powerful weapon in the game, and ''drastically'' outclasses all the other weapons your characters have, and will continue to do so until over halfway through
* [[And I Must Scream|And I Must Howl]]: {{spoiler|Red XIII's father Seto}}.
* [[Angry Black Man]]: Barret. He rotates between this and [[Scary Black Man]]. Though he's clearly not racist as evidenced by his being the [[Token Minority|only black guy]] in AVALANCHE, he's definitely angry at [[The Man]] for keeping him down.
Line 89:
* [[Black and Gray Morality]]: AVALANCHE as compared to Shinra. Cait Sith [[What the Hell, Hero?|calls Barret out on it]] at one point.
* [[Black Best Friend]]: Barret, specially if you choose him for the tram cut-scene.
* [[Blade Lock]]: Happens several times towards the end of ''[[Advent Children]]''.
* [[Blade on a Stick]]: Cid.
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: The abnormally large number of these is said to have prompted Square to create its own localization department.
Line 95:
** [[Tutorial Failure|The game says otherwise]], but ''do not'' "attack while the tail is up" in the first boss battle.
*** The problem here isn't the translation but the phrasing. Had it been "Attack while the tail is up, it'll counter-attack with its laser!" in a single text box, it would have made a lot more sense. Prefixing it with "If you..." would have solved the issue too.
** And if you think the English translation is bad, the Spanish translation is a [[Blind Idiot Translation]] of the English [[Blind Idiot Translation]]. Highlights include Aerith and Yuffie being referred to as men at times, Aerith's mother having two names, "techno" translated as a substantive rather than as a prefix/adjective, in a way that ''in every case'' it appears it sounds like they're talking about the musical genre (someone in Corel calls Barrett a "monstruo del tecno", which makes it sound like he's a really badass DJ), and "well" somehow being once translated as "rueda" ("Wheel"), among lots of other "marvels". A Spanish [[Let's Play]] concluded Aerith was a hermaphrodite.
** The German translation is just as bad. Ignore the random German text, suddenly littered with untranslated English text, with translated German text beneath ''that'', and the sentence fragments repeating themselves two or three times. They also exchanged the Ü for a é (despite having the option to just write ue), making dialogue that includes that vowel hard to understand the first time around.
* [[Body Backup Drive]]: Cait Sith does this once, although it's unknown if this was a one-time occurrence or if he could do this any time his body was destroyed.
Line 169:
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: Barret and Cid have a tendency to launch into these. The harsher curse words are censored, since this game has a "T" rating. Interestingly enough, the PC version was censored more than the [[PS 1]] version, with "hell" and "damn" censored too.
** Strangely, they don't censor "shit!"
* [[Combos]]: Various characters' limits breaks: Cloud's Omnislash, Tifa's entire string, Yuffie's Bloodfest and Doom of the Living, and Cid's Big Brawl.▼
* [[Colony Drop]]: Shinra drops the entire plate of Sector 7 onto the slums below to get rid of AVALANCHE.
* [[Combat Haircomb]]: Red XIII's weapon of choice.
▲* [[Combos]]: Various characters' limits breaks: Cloud's Omnislash, Tifa's entire string, Yuffie's Bloodfest and Doom of the Living, and Cid's Big Brawl.
* [[Comically Small Bribe]]: Want to get into Junon airport, and don't feel like getting wet while riding the dolphin? TOO BAD, it's off limits, unless you pay the elevator guard... 10 gil. You can walk out of town, kill some pansy monsters, and rake in a few hundred.
* [[The Computer Is a Lying Bastard]]: Thanks to [[Cue Card Pause|an unfortunately broken-up set of instructions]], Cloud's first boss warning sounds like he's telling you to attack while the tail is up (which will cause you to eat a severe counterattack).
Line 178:
* [[Cosmic Keystone]]: The Aptly named Keystone.
* [[Coy Girlish Flirt Pose]]: Aeris often uses this in Cloud's presence.
* [[CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable]]: Featured in a minigame. That has no time limit. That's right, if a person stops breathing for 20 minutes while you go eat a sandwich, then you come back and do CPR for another three, they'll totally be fine.▼
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Don Corneo. There's only one other possible way to explain how he subdued a Turk and a Ninja, and it involves some pretty [[Unfortunate Implications]].
* [[Cry Cute]]: Kadaj.
▲* [[CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable]]: Featured in a minigame. That has no time limit. That's right, if a person stops breathing for 20 minutes while you go eat a sandwich, then you come back and do CPR for another three, they'll totally be fine.
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Tifa, though Yuffie also qualifies.
* [[Cyberpunk with a Chance of Rain]]: Midgar always has dark skies, even above the plate.
Line 247:
* [[Enemy Summoner]]: Warning Boards.
* [[Equipment Spoiler]]: You can find a weapon for Vincent in Kalm, way before you can actually recruit him. Also, weapons for him and Yuffie will appear in shops and chests around the world even if you miss them.
* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]]:
** Sephiroth was rather fond of his [[Eldritch Abomination|extraterrestrial destroyer-of-all-things holy]] "mother" {{spoiler|although she wasn't ''technically'' his real mother}}.
** Kadaj is ''really'' obsessed with his mother, though it's likely even he doesn't know why.
Line 255:
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Hojo and his "Mwa ha ha." But there's also "Kya ha ha" (Scarlet) and "Gya ha ha" (Heidegger).
** Lampshaded by Rufus and Caith Sith. Cait Sith refers to Heideggar and Scarlet as "'Gya ha ha' and 'Kya ha ha'", respectively, while Rufus finds Heideggar's "horse laugh" irritating and constantly tells him to cut it out.
* [[Evil Tower of Ominousness]]: Shinra Tower.▼
* [[Evilutionary Biologist]]: Hojo.
▲* [[Evil Tower of Ominousness]]: Shinra Tower
* [[Expanded Universe]]: ''VII'' has the most fleshed-out universe of the entire series. The ''Compilation of Final Fantasy VII'' refers to all media that deals with the ''FFVII'' universe.
* [[Expy]]: While the game's creators later revealed it to be unintentional, Barret has been compared to Mr. T since the game's release.
