    There's a bonus reaction at the end of this video! A lovely viewer shared a link to what happens when you meet up with Aerith when you are on a date with someone else (or alone). Note that it is stiched into this video, reaction is AFTER I've already done all the GS dates(and completed the game) on my blind run.
    Off to the gold saucer we go! Although, one very special character made an appearance- VINCENT!

    The whole Loveless play reflects FF7 story so much. Even in the beginning, 3 heroes are going on a journey (imo Cloud, Zack, Sephiroth) One's life cut short (Zack), another one is slain (Sephiroth), only one remains who becomes a prisoner (Cloud).
    In the play we can see Jessie (the Goddess/Rosa) interact with a black haired hero whose life cut short, they tried to reach hands but were separated. (Zack).
    Then a blond haired hero almost gets killed until Jessie appears and heals him, and we'll the rest is history, and in the end of the dance they hug. ❤

    Cloud catching Aerith’s flower petal and holding it to his heart, Aerith confessing her feelings for Cloud and wanting to be with him now and them holding hands. I loved it so much.
    Also you see Cloud’s lips moving after they start holding hands. He’s saying something to her but the words are quite literally drowned by fireworks. I hope we get to know what he said one day.

      Exactly! People say the tifa's date is better because they kiss, but in aerith's case it wouldn't make sense considering that they only know eachother for like...weeks/days. So even cloud having feelings for aerith (and he has), a kiss it would be a very odd and hasty move, specially considering how shy cloud is and the japanese culture where fisical gestures of affection are very intimate. So for me me it made sense that at that time he kiss tifa (he knows her for years) and not aerith

      ​@raquelmota14 Exactly!! I wanna add on to your thought if you don't mind! I think, especially with what Aerith talks about in the skywheel cutscene, that a kiss at that point in time wouldn't make sense for their relationship. Aerith talks about wanting to find the real Cloud, she knows to an extent that Cloud's memories are "clouded" in a sense... he's not fully himself and Aerith sees that. A kiss between them, as much as I would love to see it, would not make sense until Cloud was fully himself. I'm gonna avoid spoilers as much as possible, but regardless of if the two get the opportunity to kiss or not, their love for one another is so real and integral to the story. I love their dynamic so much, their love is just so clear to me and I'll always be a clerith fan regardless.

    1. The conversation with Aerith at Gongaga and him remembering Zack at Neibelheim really left Cloud unsure of Aerith, he really didn’t have an incentive to approach Aerith. But Aerith made it clear to Cloud, that it is him that she’s interested in now. The gold saucer date was peak romance. The intimate hand holding, Cloud mesmerized by Aerith on stage, Aerith looking at him too. They couldn’t stop staring at each other.
    2. Have you heard the full version of no promises to keep? The in-game song is the loveless version, which is shorter. The long version of the song is so heartbreaking but beautiful. To me, no promises to keep is an answer to Clouds Hollow theme. Pleaseee!!!! devs give these two yearning pookies a happier ending in part 3.
    3, Glad someone noticed Cait sith “betrayal” as Cait protecting his new friends. He was concerned ever since they arrived to the gold saucer.

    Let me drop some Loveless play lore on you:
    Idk if you went through every play in different dates after Rebirth, but Aerith is a default Rosa if your date is Red, Barret, her, or Vincent/Cid/Cait. Tifa and Yuffie are playing Rosa only on their dates and there is a slight difference in dialogues.
    Yuffie and Tifa always talk about Goddess in a 3d person, "Goddess helped them", Goddess guided Tifa to Alphred cell and etc. Aerith is the Goddess in her play, she is the one who helps Alphred, all her dialogues reflect that, while in other girls dialogues they always thank the Goddess.
    Another detail in S performances Tifa's Rosa calls Cloud a true hero, and how he finally was able to become a hero. Yuffie's pretty much the same but with humor.
    Aerith is the only one who speaks about their power of true love in S performances (like in yours).

    • @SlashterpieceGaming

      ​@@SlashterpieceGamingit's not about affinity but how good was perfomance (your quick time events), with S performances Tifa calls you a hero, with worser performances she thanks The Goddess for her help.
      Yuffie just goofs around.
      And Aerith in S performances talks about their true love, in A performance she calls him a hero, in worser perfomances she jokes that her power helped them win and what he would be doing without her (so basically she is the Goddess in a play).

The end of the date, he’s the one reaching for her hand to help out of the wheel. She boosts his confidence and always leads to the future, doesn’t allow him to stay stuck in the past. ❤

The song, the way they looked into each other eyes, just perfect.
    And I absolutely agree that the date was perfect and the kiss would be too much at this point of their relationship. I've seen complaints about Aerith not getting the kiss, and tried to imagine it, and just - no, no, it would be so forced. I watched the rest of the dates, and yes, maybe I am reading too much into it, but the kiss with Tifa looked like Cloud was reenacting a scene from a romantic movie, not a tender emotional moment.

    Yayyy!
    You got the HA Aerith date. Congrats!
    I truly think Loveless is connected to the trilogy. There are so many parallels one can find in this play. Sephiroth is Varvados, Cloud is Alphreid and Aerith is Rosa. I find it very interesting that Cait Sith says Varvados only fears true love.
    Spoilers
    Considering what Sephiroth does to Aerith, it really makes you wonder...
    Perhaps Sephiroth didn't just see her as a threat due to her powers, but also because of her relationship with Cloud🤔
    A very interesting thought.
    I also hope the phoenix at the end foreshadows what will happen to Aerith in part 3.
    In regards to Loveless
    - if you get Yuffie as a date, she plays Rosa
    - if you get Tifa as a date, she plays Rosa
    - if you get anyone else as a date, Aerith will play Rosa
    - depending on your score in each fight, what Cait Sith and Rosa say changes
    - there are a few differences between the girls when they play Rosa, such as mannerisms and dialogue
    I don't understand how it is possible that Clerith is so unpopular either. Clerith is not well liked in America, but Japan loves Cloud & Aerith together. They got taste😌
    I would love to see your reaction to the differences in Loveless.
    Your reactions are always nice to see. Can't wait to see more.

    The suspense of not knowing who is behind the door is so real 🙀😹 this Loveless/Date section was absolute peak of the peak!! I can't get enough of the Loveless play, how much it reflects the main story of FF7!! And the fights, cinematics and music.. so good!!! I always get chills from Barret's speech at the end.. insane foreshadowing right there! And the hug surrounded by flames and stating that they don't need a promise to meet again and then followed by Aerith's song 😭💖 imo she kinda looks like a bride in that white dress with flowers ❤ the way C and A were looking at each other during the song is so adorable. Aerith really said with her eyes that 'this song is for you' 🥰 the song gives me so much hope that they will find each other in part 3. "Still I know someday you'll come and find me" ❤ as for the gondola section.. perfection from the start til the end!! That handhold lives in my head rent free let me tell you 😹💖

    Im hoping for you to make an analysis video of the date in the future. Heres my own personal analysis.
    My personal analysis of the date(this is long):
    At the start of the date, he sits apart from her because he's both shy and unsure how she feels about zack right now. Yet at the first sign of possible danger, his first instinct is to move her out of the way of it(similar to when theyre falling at the end of chapter 13 and his first instinct is to pull her in close and take the full force of the fall himself).
    After getting so close that they were mere inches away from kissing, both of them get very shy and sit down. However, they are visibly closer than when the date started.
    They start having fun, but aerith can see that something is still keeping cloud from being fully in the moment. She can tell he's probably thinking about her and zack. Knowing this, she tells him that his similarity to zack was what peaked her interest, but also reassures him that that's not why she's with him now and that she's happy with him now. She tells him that she's trying to find him(don't let this distract you from the fact that cloud acts less and less like his soldier persona when around aerith due to liking her, relating to her, and her natural ability to break down his barriers).
    Cloud starts to bring up zack again, but aerith tells him tifa didn't tell her anything as a way to keep this *their* moment. You can see he's trying to think what to do next in that moment. That's when aerith gets in close to him and hugs his arm, sharing a sweet moment.
    He then holds her hand, which is extremely meaningful(and frankly, more intimate than the tifa date imo) because he's had a fear of rejection ever since he was a kid, and he's carried them with him into his adulthood. He definitely wanted to be closer to aerith earlier in the date, but an action involving that level of vulnerability to hold hands with aerith like that is scary for him since he has this fear of rejection.
    But he allowed himself to be vulnerable with her and actually took the step of holding her hand, showing her that he truly cares for her deeply(loves her). He turns to her with what I consider a very vulnerable look, and she responds by reciprocating and holding his hand back. A few moments later, they hold hands tighter.
    My favorite thing about this date is the vulnerability we see from both cloud and aerith

    Pretty sure it's an unpopular opinion, but I actually prefer how the OG game handled Cait Sith's betrayal. Here, it really rubs me the wrong way how he gets so upset about the group - completely understandably - severing ties with him. Because like... you admit you "knew from the start" it would end this way! He COULD have chosen not to betray them, but he did it anyway knowing full well what the consequences would be, then got sad when said consequences happened. It just really bothers me anytime a character is like "oh I wish it didn't have to be like this" about something THEY chose to do/cause.
    Meanwhile in OG, we don't get as much insight into what he's thinking/feeling, but he COMMITS to the betrayal and forces the gang to let him tag along. This also helps make his big moment at the Temple of the Ancients later come off better, because I can buy that after spending enough time with the group he HAS come to care about them and decides there that he'll truly join them, sacrificing (one of) his life in the process. Meanwhile because he was left behind in this version, he just... suddenly appears as the temple is crumbling and somehow theoretically gets to the deepest part in minutes so he can still perform the heroic sacrifice even though the game canonically tells us it takes HOURS to get through the temple? It doesn't track logically for me.
    I like him in this game but I really think the story tries too hard to sympathize with him and make the rest of the cast feel bad for their JUSTIFIABLE anger at him, when again, he CHOSE to betray them. They can forgive him after he turns over a new leaf yeah, but don't make it like their feelings and reactions to his betrayal was unreasonable! Personally I feel like in the OG game, it was when he helped rescue Tifa from Shinra (after the party loses Cloud) that he is fully embraced as a member of the team. This game tried to speedrun his redemption (and also downplay his wrongdoings) and it bothers me.

    Hiyas! This game is so amazing. The play was 5 stars, then the song, omg the song killed me. Everything was full of foreshadowing, it was so crazy, it blew me away. 🤯There at the end when you said, "now's not the time to cry", Jessie, Biggs and Wedge show up! 😭😭I don't know how they're going to top this in the third one. It got me thinking, they are really going to have to come up with something extraordinary to make everyone happy. I really don't think they will be able to do that though, unless Cloud, Aerith, and Zack all die. I hope I'm wrong, I just don't see how they can end this with a 'Zack is with Aerith', 'Cloud is with Tifa', happily ever after ending. Okay I need to stop talking end game LOL. That was so cool the back to back to back boss fights. You did good, nicely done! Well, the Donberry did wreck you a few times though! ☠🫣😂So yeah, Rude says in the cave he can't pull his punches anymore. I don't remember if you remember that or not. Awww yeah Cait didn't want to betray them, but he thought it was for the best. It was good intentions that looked 'really' bad. Yeah I thought it was handled much better here. Last but not least, the Skywheel date! I knew you would get Aerith, and I knew you were trying to trick me in the last comment! Nice try! 😂The Aerith date was so good, I get teared up every time I watch it. It was perfect, "I'm trying to find the real you." Stop it game!!😭😭😭😭I can't wait to see what you think of the Tifa date, I have a feeling it's not going to be very positive. 😬I definitely prefer the Aerith date over the Tifa one, all the others are just amusing.

    Of course it had to be 🎀 :) all the game is totally leaning towards her anyway.
    I really loved your always genuine and sincere reactions. I admit i started to feel sad and teary when you said « she wants to live … » (after her song) I took it like a punch in the guts. I mean , I knew it perfectly myself when I played , but the fact to hear someone else putting words on it, it really hit hard on me.
    So yeah, insanely good moment of the game, and I didn’t know I could have been surprised like this, the play was so good, the fact to make it « interactive » (us being the heroes of it) , then the song, and then the Skywheel… they know what they do for real !
    Haaaa the hands holding… ☁️🎀…
    Maybe for us it’s not so big but we have to consider it from Japanese culture POV, and it’s something very important and more committed than for us.
    Plus it totally fits what C and A relationship is and has become. Gentle and knowing each other, and still at same time her trying to find him.
    Seems in a matter of narrative a very relevant development to me.
    So hands up to the scenarists or who ever staged this scene ☺️
    Other dates were very good but it’s this one that I felt the most relevant or even « organic » as I saw someone else saying in the comments :)
    Already watching the new video and I see you are analyzing already the date , will you even so make a full breakdown video for analyze, like what you did before with some scenes ?

      Aerith's date was suuuuper romantic!! I loved it. There was so much emphasis on Cloud as an individual, and Aerith finally putting his feelings about Zack to rest. I love how Aerith holds Cloud's arm 😭❤️ and then Cloud taking her hand in his 🙀❤️ got butterflies

      Oh 81% ? I don’t remember exactly the percentages when I finished but I had something like 92% for Aerith and Tifa became 93% but after the date, since I finished one quest of her after the Gold Saucer.
      And the stats show the dialogue choices give so many points, wow no mistakes allowed 😄
      Yeeees, poor Zack in the end , « not anything important » haha ! Though I totally understand what Aerith wanted to say by saying this, and just comforting Cloud.
      But it’s anyway relevant with her will to go and move on. Anyway always smiling stupidly in front of this scene especially with the hand holding.

    I'm so glad they kept it so close to the OG.
    One thing that kind of amazes me about how the Skywheel section goes, especially now: Look at how close Aerith and Cloud are. Look at how vulnerable they are with each other.
    How long have they known each other by this point? Like... a few weeks? The trust involved in being THIS vulnerable with someone THIS quickly is pretty insane. With my main friend group, it took me YEARS to get anywhere near that close to them.
    Oh, and Don Corneo sucks as always. Running after Tifa immediately... the goddamn *nerve* of that guy! 😠His little Corneo minions are oddly adorable, though. I have to wonder if we can somehow convince Abzu to rebel against Corneo.

      It's insane. Like, who knew someone who's basically been a captive for most of her life could be so wise and so capable of reading/connecting with people. It's actually really interesting seeing the juxtaposition between Aerith and Tifa - two people able to read people and empathize in a level that's truly unheard of, but one is outgoing and charismatic, while the other is shy and withdrawn.
      Yeah, probably. But Abzu could also turn on Corneo - poor thing seems like his 'dad' doesn't treat him very well.

    Rosa used a staff as her weapon, so that would mean other dates also use the same weapon. Heh, even the play uses Aerith as a basis and has something to do with the narrative. The foreshadow too. I also equipped Phoenix summon materia on Aerith and Rosa summoned it in the play. Coincidence.
    Love the play, song and the date. The way Aerith discreetly looks at Cloud during her singing. Synchronized awkwardness. Reaching out to the other's hand. Clerith's love language: hand holding.
    Aerith's Radiant Ward skill is just op. I would definitely summon it every single time I got the chance. Barret and Aerith's synergy skill (sweet and sour salvo) looks so cool to watch. Barret passing on a shade to Aerith and them posing like celebrities. Aerith using her staff like a machine gun to match Barret fighting style. There's also another one of their synergy skill (arcane blast) where at the end, Barret catches Aerith's hand to hold her steady after getting blown back by their explosive blast. He is so gentle towards her.
    I hate the tonberry. They're my worst nightmare in FF games, starting from FF13. To counter the Tonberry's instant kill (or death), there's actually 3 accessories that counter that. Meaning they would deal normal damage to your party and no one shot kill.
    Corneo is really creepy. But I really like the continuation from the Remake with how the party threatens him. It's just so funny lol. Also, only Aerith threatens by not using her weapon. Just her hand. It's personal. "Smash 'em, Rip 'em" was also played here. I really like it. Wished they played it a lot more often.
    The high five development. All because of Aerith. Cait Sith is so cute, I wanna pet him. I watched the og video but the betrayal was confusing. At least, he never really showed ill intent here.

    Yes, you get it. It's too early for a kiss, especially since she mentions wanting to meet the real him. I don't understand how Clotis and some game journalists think the LTD is over just because the devs only gave the kiss to Tifa. Many fans wanted a kiss in Aerith's date too. The devs could have easily changed her date like the other dates if they wanted to please the fans but they kept it the same as the original. I wonder why.
    33:43 I'm at peace seeing how happy Aerith is here. If she gets to live a normal life at the end of the trilogy, it would mean a lot to me.

      @SlashterpieceGaming  Před měsícem +8

      Right?! A kiss wouldn't fit the story anyhow, not now.. Cloud is still struggling with his identity. So that'd be like kissing "another guy" and not really Cloud. So I was a bit worried 😹 and besides, it would not fit either, since Aerith really wants to meet the real Cloud, and really highlights this, a kiss would just ruin the whole scene.
      And we know ppl would probably be screaming "Zack kissed her, it wasn't Cloud" sooo is it the same now that it happened to Tifa? Was it Zack? 😹 But it felt so strange after watching Tifa's date, it was super cute, but just knowing how the main scenario proceeds... Makes Cloud look like a cheater fr

    Congrats on getting Aerith like you wanted! I got Nanaki on my first playthrough. I was a little disappointed at first, but the Sky Wheel part was so cute and had some interesting dialogue, so I was happy by the end of it. I liked that Aerith's date had some of the same dialogue as in the OG. That was my favorite part of her date. Have you seen any of the other dates yet? The "joke" one with Cait, Cid and Vincent is so funny and awkward! 😅
    I couldn't help but choose Barrett/Varvados when Cait asked who Alfried/Cloud would confess his love to. It was hilarious. Cloud holds out his hand to him and says "My Love" with a deadpan expression on his face, and Barett was all like "You gotta be kidding me!"
    Aerith's song made me teary-eyed, and I cried when the members of Avalanche showed up. I didn't notice that Tifa cried after Jessie's performance when I played. 😢
    Ugh, Corneo's back. And I thought he couldn't get more gross. It's gonna be nice to kick his ass back to where it belongs in part 3! 😼 It would have been nice to kick his ass with the entire girl team, but I have a feeling he'd like that...
    The party doing the victory poses at the end! ❤ Now we just need to see Cid's & Vincent's victory pose in the 3rd game! And Cloud finally learned how to High-five properly! That's character development right there!
    The Rufus fight right after fighting the turks was brutal. Waiting for him to reload made the fight feel so long!

    As i wrote in another post i got aerith too. I made sure to get her through the extra side missions that open up in chapter 12.
    I think there is something very beautifull when a woman says she wants to see the "real you". There are so many expectaions on man in modern dating... on one hand you need to be the tough strong shoulder thats the provider and on the other hand the emotional available (but not too emotional) soft empathetic caring man. (exaggerated shallow society expectation).
    While thats not all but i have seen my fair share of woman who think that you are weak/not date worthy if you show vulnerbility. So if a woman says she wants the real you and its meant from the heart its really special. (woman have it equally tough in dating dont get me wrong... thats also a thing i coud write hours about the problems/complications in modern dating)
    Its a really wonderfully made scene with aerith and cloud. I coudnt pick a favorite between this scene and the scene with tifa. (the others are also very good)
    That said... 😁.. you probably know what comes next:
    (its a bit more for other people then you ;) )
    Aerith resolution scene is the only one where cloud doesnt stand next to tifa and grabs her hand. Also in the skywheel date with tifa they share also a very intimate moment (i know you seen them all). If we go by what the developers show us they put you more on the tifa/cloud love route (later in the game even more on the nose the like like scene where we get to know more how aerith feels). In the end of the day your fantasy has no limits so whoever you want to be in love or not or never or whatever its up to the individual person.
    Why am i saying this? I think its important to know that storywriters write in a specific way and the interpretation is vital. Dont twist things, dont grab straws dont make up things that didnt happen. Dont make the world a make belive fantasy land. In your head everything is fair game. You can write fanfiction whatever everything is good. (i absolutley! dont mean you "slashterpiece gaming" with that. It is not directed at you)
    I need to cut it here because im feeling that i woud write a essay if i dont stop so, have a nice day all you wonderfull people.

      SE did an amazing job on all the dates! I only had like one thing that bothered me a little bit, other than that they were amazing!
      I loved that they kept it true to the OG, and that she mentioned that she wanted to meet the "real" Cloud. It's so important to be able to accept one's vulnerabilities. And I agree with you, it's hard on both men and women. But I do believe it's a little more difficult for men when it comes to showing emotions, and it's so important for men to be able to show their emotions without having people label it as "showing weakness"... It's rather a strength if anything.
      It's really important for men in today's society to show vulnerability and emotions. Suppressing emotions can lead to serious mental health issues like anxiety and depression. And men (women also) who don't feel comfortable showing or talking about their emotions often lead to some form of mental health issues. Women usually can talk with their friends about situations, vulnerabilities and emotions whilst it feels like men don't really do this. Most just sweep it under the rug and hope it gets better, without talking with anyone 🥹 I really do hope men can open up more about their feelings with other men and women, just talk it out without feeling like you did something bad because you were vulnerable.

      I agree with absolute everything you wrote. I wish we humans woud work together on helping on our strengths and flaws.
      The horrors ive seen because people supress their emotion... women going back to their abusive bfs... men going down a very bad path even going a step more on a cliff... its dishearting
      Even i after reading psychology/philosophy since i was 13.. having the fortune to be with amazing friends that accept every emotion and mood you can have... meditation/yoga for over 20 years.. the first instinct when i have emotional problems is bury it and grab a couple beer. (no most of the time i dont do that ^^)
      I wish we people coud see each other... really see. I never met a woman who has not a story of some form of sa and i never met a men who didnt supress some emotions. We need to be better with each other. We need to lift each other up and help one another.
      The pesimist in me says that we are miles away from that. Its to easy to hate but way more difficult to help/forgive yourself/see outside your box.

    • @SlashterpieceGaming
      @SlashterpieceGaming  Před měsícem +2

      @heinzert50 It was more something that was said before the kiss 🤔 which then made it fall flat for me 💀 but also felt too early. But overall I really liked it!
      Right!! It's so usual too. Everyone knows at least one or several people that go back to ppl that were abusive in some way, they feel like they can "fix" that person. And you feel so helpless because whatever you say it's not enough, people will do as they want to in the end of the day. It's really sad 😢
      And what's even worse is that I'm seeing that all kind of media is promoting so much toxicity when it comes to relationships. It's one thing to enjoy a romance and know that it's fictional, and also be critical of some aspects, but another to completely ignore things that happen which one would normally not consider as a healthy dynamic. I can barely stand going to BookTok now because most of the books promoted are with super toxic relationships, and the male lead is 200% abusive. The brain isn't too good at distinguishing between fictional and reality when it comes to love, so consuming much of this media without being critical can contribute so that people "endure" a lot more than they should in relationships. The whole "i can fix him/her" is so incredibly outdated and toxic.
      I'm happy for you that you have such friends! It really does take time for us to open up. Everyone really does need to be better with each other, there's no shame in showing vulnerabilities, it takes a lot of strength to do that. For some it can even take a lifetime, and others will never know how it feels. So I hope that it'll get much better in the future!
      I relate to that, never met a woman that didn't have any sa in her past/present and a man who doesn't suppress his emotions to some degree. It's really sad 😢
      I think if we implement social psychology into schools very early, make it an obligatory course early on it'll probably get better for the younger generation. And with mental health issues on the rise almost everywhere there should be some kind of help, preferably free of charge (state pays). I would gladly pay more taxes if it means helping others get the help that they need.

    The singing was added last minute, but i do really like the song all of Aerith’s feelings her desires to reunite with the people she's met by chance. Not wanting to believe it was fate that she met the people she loves. Elmyra Zack Cloud Tifa. Very good song about this emotionally tragic character.
    My date was with Tifa, so i saw her with the Rosa dress, and even tho i like that, she has earrings, unlike Aerith and Yuffie in the dress. Aerith is the only character that fits a "princess" type role she already has a staff, too. But i still think Tifa slayed it in the dress! (Just wish she had more unique costumes too)
    I really like that they barely changed the Aerith OG date. It was always about her learning that Cloud is a confused person, and he's not Zack he's more than that, but his true self is locked away.
    Unlike certain shippers, i don't mind Aerith wanting to reignite the flame of love with another person she has that right as a woman who is still grieving the loss of her first love. (For my interpretation) I saw it as Cloud wanting to be there for Aerith and help her while she's suffering in silence. While i don't think he would kiss her i think handholding is the perfect amount of pace for him in terms of their relationship its very unique to them and its that feeling of comfort that makes Aerith feel warm and safe.
    And while i know Nojima said the dates are not cannon and outside the "main story" i feel like each one is in character for Cloud. These devs wrote these to not make Cloud go full (dating sim) FF7 is not that kind of game. We can't control how Cloud feels with each character, which is why the dates are still important because they still show his feelings in that moment.

      Right!! I really liked how much focus there was on Cloud regaining his real self, being his real self. Because it also told us something as the player- being yourself is always better, and a person whom loves you will love you for who you are. So it was a nice reminder 😸 but tbh, all dates were incredible!
      I feel like the dates really fit the story! No one felt out of place. Even if I think they could've done some minor changes they all feel like they could've happened! I agree with you, the dates to tell us how he feels and how the others feel about him.
