Just a thought that occurred to me: Do you note how strong the female lead characters within Final Fantasy 7 are? Normally, they're a support role to the main character (Rosa to Cecil, for example, his love and support to give him the strength to turn to good.) But in Final Fantasy 7, Tifa and Aeris play a HUGE role in turning Cloud's character around.
At the start of the game, Tifa convinces Cloud to stay on and fight for AVALANCHE when he's threatening to leave for pastures new. Which kind of keeps the plot of the game rolling.
Then later on Cloud meets Aeris, and Aeris is able to break open Cloud's cold hearted persona and awaken the decent side within him which eventually gives him the power to march on and confront Sephiroth at the end: Her memory sees him win through, and without the strength of the female leads to carry him, Cloud would never have made it to the end of the game.
Thoughts?
