Commission: Final Fantasy 7 x EQG · 10:35pm May 13th, 2020
I knew it would come the next day. I knew it. I feel stupid for blogging yesterday. Oh well.
Hey, how's it going?
This commission is one I have been looking forward to. Final Fantasy 7 is one of those games I always loved to see but never actually got to play (I am gonna change that this year). The characters (Tifa is my waifu), the gameplay, EVERYTHING about it is awesome. I want to play it so bad.
If you've kept on gaming, you would know that the first part of the remake has been released this year. It's stayed true to the original but has added a lot of content, almost all of it welcome. One of the highlights for me was the added character development, particularly for Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith. The romantic tension between the love triangle has certainly reached an all time high, but it's done so in a very tasteful way. I love the interactions of the characters in the remake.
So, in case you didn't know, I am a shipper, so, naturally, I decided to combine my love of MLP with my fascination of FF7, and this is the result. I obviously asked the artist to humanize Spike. I'll never understand why the writers made him a dog in EQG, but, in a world full of magic, I think it's fully possible for him to be human.
I really like this drawing. I've waited for this one for like a month, and it will definitely not be the only version I'll commission. That's how much I love this idea.
What do you think? Do you like it? Please, let me know!
Also, side note (spoilers for 20+ year old game): NO, I DO NOT WISH THE SAME FATE OF AERITH ON APPLE BLOOM. I just thought AB would look in Aerith's clothes. I love both characters.
Odds are Square will let Aerith live in the remake, or resurrect her in body after her death.

I actually doubt that. Since Remake is trying to stay true to the OG, I don't think it would be in Square Enix's best interest to cut such an iconic moment. Plus, I don't want to keep Aerith and Zack separate from each other.
I enjoyed FF7 when it originally came out (never finished it though), but to this day, FF6 is still my favorite.
As for the art, very cute. Interesting choice though, making Sweetie the brawler, even though she's a unicorn, and AB the "healer" even though she's an earth pony. Still, nothin' says ya' got to stick to roles, yes?

I'm gonna be honest: the only reason I made Apple Bloom Aerith is because of the bow lol. Sweetie Belle is Tifa because best filly needs to be best girl.
This is an awesome artwork! I never played FF7 either (or ANY Final Fantasy games), but I'm planning to give the remake version a try.

You and me both. Thanks!
