Really, I think the Rude/Reno has to be my favorite thing about Bishink's FF7 continuity -- well, that and I like what they've done with Reeve, though I'm a big traditionalist and I pair Elena with Tseng. (FF7 = the fandom that makes me conservative, wtf.) Well, I also think their Rufus is much cooler and has far more depth than the one in the game. But yeah, the girls kind of get shafted there, and, er, I've never been able to get it up for Vincent, so as much as I respect their writing and worldbuilding, the directions they took with FF7 don't entirely satisfy me. ...With FF8, on the other hand? I love how they managed to work through the damaged canon until it was not only salvageable, but fulfilling. I should probably be ashamed of how many hours I spent devouring that stuff. ^^
Also omg cannot imagine trying to ignore Yuna to write Tidus with someone else. wtf. But, er, I guess I don't have much investment in trying to get him in yaoi pairings at all; I'm rabid about how I pair Auron and I don't feel any need to read/write Wakka. ^^;
