| QUOTE (poison&wine @ Nov 30 2009, 01:35 PM) | My question is does "You will lose something dear" have to mean Aerith. Cloud 'finds' Sephiroth several times after this prediction is made and each time it has a big impact on him. sephiroth took Aerith away yes, but Cloud encouters him again well after her death and loses his mind.
Cloud basically has a mental breakdown and doesnt know if he is real or just a clone. I always thought this was what Caith Sith's prediction was refering to considering how Sephiroth manipulated Cloud's mind throughout the game and the fact that when Cloud got this prediction it was Sephiroth he was searching for (he lost Aerith after searching for her not Sephiroth).
If you look at things from that perspective, then the prediction of their wedding isn't necessarily related to first prediction. |
No, actually, the "lose something dear" doesn't have to mean Aerith.
The fortune telling with deep meaning.
Cait Sith's divination about the direction toward Sephiroth turns out three consequences. Disregarding the previous two, the noticeable one is the third result which becomes the chance for him to follow the party- "What you're looking for will
be yours, but you'll lose something very dear."
As the storyline moves on to the event at the Forgotten City, the "something very dear" can be read as losing Aerith, and it also hints at the event of Cloud's reaching his self-breakdown when the story goes to the Northern Crater. (Final Fantasy VII Ultimania Omega, p.120)
It states that the "something dear" CAN be read as losing Aerith. But, it also clearly states that it hints at the very thing you suggested. So, it is possible that it only means one or the other. But, it is also possible that it means both.
