About this listen

Is the love triangle in Final Fantasy VII really a triangle at all?


In this episode of Crystal Mythos, we reframe one of gaming’s most iconic romantic subplots from a question of who Cloud should choose to one that asks whether he’s capable of love at all.


Through a mythic lens, we explore Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith as a symbolic trinity representing the past, the self, and possibility.


What emerges isn’t a romance, but a meditation on identity, memory, and the mirror love holds up to our innermost selves.


Maybe Final Fantasy VII never asked us to choose, but to remember where love truly begins.
