The sad thing is Aerith interactions with Cloud is like someone who yearn for affection yet still barricade herself enough so that their relationship doesn't gone to far. As if she knows that she wouldn't be with him later on. 😢
@@elizadoolittle9657 I had experienced once. There's a close friend of mine. She's sometimes annoying and sometimes teasing. However on her last days she's somewhat apologetic. I have brushed it away only to realize it was too late. I don't know maybe sometimes people unconsciously knows their time at the end and suddenly changed so that people close to them just to be eased with them.
Imo, Cloud and Tifa felt a little more natural when it got deep or intimate. Tifa is my Bias so I kind of think she’s too good for him though in my honest opinion.
Interesting. In my playthrough, when cloud and aerith went on the ride and aerith said "just a little longer," cloud actually holds her hands, interlocking fingers and everything
You're missing pretty much the whole game. Where is Aerith Singing while She and Cloud are looking at eachother and the petal falls on his hand. Or the tree scene when cloud has a flashback to where he met her the first time and then hugs her as they both fall down? THe sleeping forest scene, The final date scene, the scenes of Cloud hugging because he cant let go of her and the ending of rebirth with NPTK playing again after they say goodbye.
@@yakistolfo Exacty the part where Aerith is singing the Main Theme song looking directly at Cloud. You know the song with lyrics that talk about the night they met at Loveless street and where Aerith looks at Cloud when she sings "Until I met you" and then a Yellow petal falls on Clouds hand and they look to eachother in love at the end. That part.
@@auroraferreira7533 you're not wrong, it's kinda romantic but it was more of a "public" romance and not the "both alone" romantic type if you know what i mean ☕🗿
I didn't play the original but in Remake the chemistry between Cloud and Aerith is lightyears ahead of Cloud and Tifa imo. And just finished Rebirth; am an emotional mess rn. Hope Aerith and Cloud reunite in part 3
The theme song is all about them, how they met and more. It can even connect to Hollow. On the final date, the theme song plays in the background, and they even have a full circle moment of Aerith getting a yellow flower brooch as a first gift from Cloud, which mirrors him getting a yellow flower from her as a gift on their first meeting. Marlene tells Zack that Aerith has feelings for Cloud when he asks her. And she pretty much confesses to Cloud in the church, as there would be no reason to bring it up otherwise. If she didn’t like him romantically she could of said nothing and went straight to giving him the materia. Then the ending scene with the sweet callback to the first game with the “You gonna be ok getting back?” “And if I said I wasn’t?” exchange from the first game.
It’s so clear they have the deepest love. Their romance is so sweet and innocent, almost playful. I think it’s the best pairing, they just complement each other so well.
Promises to Keep is about how Aerith knows she's going to die and is sad because she will miss everyone. It's a goodbye letter to her friends that she wishes she could stay with but can't. It's not a love song about her and Cloud.
@@user-dsfhsdjf-32463 the song can be interpreted in many different ways, but yes, it’s also about the relationship between Cloud & Aerith. There is a lot of symbolism in FF7. The flower she gave cloud in remake symbolizes reunion, it’s sort of hinting at the idea of fate and how sometimes you meet and fall in love with someone by destiny. In the original game, Cait Sith reads a fortune telling message that says they are perfect for each other and the stars align for them. The song plays off that metaphor of fate vs. chance. It’s about a love that cannot be, because Aerith has many burdens being an Ancient, so in a way she makes a sacrifice due to her duty of protecting the planet, but the price is losing the opportunity to be with Cloud and “being in love” so to speak. But what’s interesting is even after her passing, Aerith and Cloud continue to meet. Another sign that this connection is strong even after death. This is no different in the remake series. And the play “Loveless” shares many similar themes with the actual story. So in a way you can refer to them as star-crossed lovers. The song actually gives off tragic vibes, and that’s also what happens to Aerith, she had so much to live for but because she was selfless, she gave her life to protect her friends and her lover. That’s why she tells Cloud in the ending, that she wants to save the world and also “him”, to free him from his suffering. Because she cares about him, not just as a friend but someone who has feelings for him. I’m actually surprised how a lot of people seem to think she didn’t have any feelings. She’s a woman for crying out loud, and she spent a vast majority of her time around Cloud. It’s so obvious she liked him.
@orome9793 Right because SE and all the devs sat in a meeting and discussed the 3 twts Nojima received and asked all the writers, mocap actors, and animators to put the kiss in 🤡 y'all delusional if you believe this is how it came about 😂 P.s If you're referring to that one twt nojima specifically called out, then no, that came from a Jessie fanboy. Had nothing to do with Tifa 🙄
I won't lie, they made it much harder in this part for me to choose between Aerith and Tifa. I feel like both girls had good chemistry with Cloud. In part 1, I feel Aerith was the one who had the best chemistry and that Tifa felt more one-sided.
It kindda bothers me how they changed cloud's personalty in the second game, just to favor tifa a little bit more, when in the first game he was so unniterested towards her...
@@VeSpEr7iNe Uninterested ? Literally the first thing he does after meeting her for the first time in Remake is offer her the flower Aerith gave to him.
@@VeSpEr7iNe Did you really think so? In the end, all this fuss started because Cloud decided to become a soldier just to show off in front of the girl he liked. He had and still has feelings for Tifa, but Zack's memories make him fixate on Aerith. And it's not because the whole damn Rebirth didn't try to favor Aerith more than Tifa. Almost all the scenes with Aerith are very well staged and seek to give her more importance.
I didn’t see this in the video, but in my play through on the Ferris wheel,aerith and cloud held hands after aerith said, just until the end of the ride
I prefer Cloud with Aerith or at least make Aerith to live.Everyone has a story line they love which is not about selfish or keeping the original story intact, it is about we all expecting things good in these days. Now is no longer 1997 the value, the mindset and global environment totally different. people need more positive and faith for good. Multi ending in part 3 would be more appreciated than just let the player day dreaming in the DLC.
Exactly. They should make multiple endings. There could be an ending that would end just like the OG ff7 for "purists" and happy endings where Cloud and Aerith/Tifa (depending on the players choice) get into a romantic relationship. That way everyone could be happy + the arguments over which one is canon would keep the game alive pretty much forever.
I'm not looking forward to them shoving the Cloud and Tifa relationship down our throats in the third game. I know some (maybe most) of the male audience are looking forward to it, but I'd just don't get the appeal now.
Aerith's death has been devastating in 1997, lol.. but the fans didn't expect it to hit so hard a second time. People want an end to the yearning...some relief that can meaningfully conclude their unrealistic expectations...which, let's face it, were put there on purpose.
It's honestly surprising that Clerith is not as popular as Cloti, given the large amount of vocal Cleriths. Cloud and Aerith clearly have great romantic chemistry together. Opposites attract. Cloud and Tifa are nice, but they clearly both have psychological issues that need to be dealt before they can get into a romantic relationship.
Yeah, if you watched AC then you can notice tifa and cloud did have a chance to form a loving relationship, but that didn't happen because cloud was dealing with his traumas and his depression during that time, he did love aerith more.
@@DominatorMaharanth Cloud and Tifa just don't romantically click well with one another. The moment the truth was revealed that Cloud and Tifa were never "childhood friends", I no longer supported them as a romantic couple. Especially after seeing how Tifa had friends as a little girl, but Cloud was not one of them at all. She never even invited Cloud into her group which was the worst part of all. I always have been pro-Clerith at the very beginning and liked the Cloti ship until I saw the Lifestream sequence in full detail. If Tifa really was his "childhood friend", she wouldn't have stood there while the entire village blamed Cloud for her seven-day coma. NO FRIEND would ever do that. That's definitive proof that Cloud and Tifa were never friends as children. They were just neighbors at best. Their relationship is more akin to siblings than childhood sweethearts. I don't hate Tifa at all, but I still have a hard time forgiving her for how she treated Cloud to this very day. The main reason I don't want Cloud and Tifa together as a romantic couple is NOT because I hate either of them, but rather it's because I LOVE both of them and believe they both deserve the most compatible partners. Cloud and Tifa's relationship is rather parasitic than mutual. Tifa keeps asking for more than what Cloud can give and Cloud keeps trying to meet her expectations but falls short of her quota. That's not a healthy relationship at all. They both already have traumatic experiences and trying to make their relationship work is just going to put more psychological strain on both of them.
@@EvelynL.1112 Well to be fair Tifa didn't remember what happened, everyone told her that Cloud pushed her off the hill. She didn't believe it but she also had no memory of the incident to know if it were true or not. They're just incompatible imo, Aerith and Cloud have an unspoken connection that Tifa and him just don't have. Maybe it's the shared grief of losing Zack or being alienated because they're different, regardless i think Aerith sees through Cloud's persona without him even having to explain it. As for Tifa she's consistently struggling to understand what's going on in Cloud's mind, begging him to explain it to her so he can seek comfort. Which he does but there's something inherently less intimate about that. I always question if whether or not Cloud's feelings for Tifa are real or if they're illusions due to the fact he can barely remember his own childhood and only remember his crush on her. I agree with a lot of your points tho
@@BinnThereDoneThat Even if she had no memory of whether Cloud pushed her off the bridge or not, she should have asked herself if Cloud would do such a horrible thing. She was the one who insisted on marching into the mountains to see her deceased mother, it doesn't take much thought to discern that SHE was the one responsible for her own predicament. As for Tifa yelling at Cloud, I get she is trying this "tough love" approach in order to get him out of his self-doubt. But she needs to remember that Cloud is emotionally and mentally fragile. She's making him feel even more insecure with all the scolding and the accusing. She's basically treating him similarly to how the other villagers of Nibelheim(except his mother) treated him as a young boy.
@@EvelynL.1112 I would agree but they were kids at the time and she had no malice intent behind her actions, children don't really think before they do irrational things in general. Now if they were teens when this all happened i'd definitely agree, i think this situation is something i can easily forgive her for since Cloud never hated her for it and he was already use to the town alienating him. What I don't understand though is her expectations of him even after the death of so many friends, he's a deserter who struggling to process his traumas whilst suffering with amnesia (and sephiroth's mind control). I understand that sometimes Cloud can be insensitive and blunt but she lets her feelings get in the way of acknowledging his deteriorating mental state. He is obviously not mentally present/stable when he's questioning whether or not she's "real", she's so caught up in the idea that he doesn't trust her that she fails to see the bigger issue at hand. That he's struggling to grasp reality. Her approaches to him feel less like "tough love" but rather self centered kindness(???), it's less about actually being kind but rather doing so to satisfy/sooth ones ego. I mean she said it herself in Nibelheim, she feels like she always needs people to like her which i think is a major flaw of hers that sabotages a deeper connection with Cloud. She's aware of this flaw and hates it but does she actively work against it? I don't think she does which is why they'll never fully work out. I wonder where how their "relationship" will pan out in part 3 now that Aerith isn't physically there but Cloud can see her
The game already references which girl Cloud cherishes the most. The first time you arrive in the Golden Saucer and make your way to the haunted hotel, Cait Sith gives Cloud a fortune card when Cloud asks if Cait Sith has any info on Sephiroth. The fortune card says that Cloud will find who he seeks (Sephiroth), but at the price of losing the person that Cloud cherishes most. This is a full reference to the end of Rebirth where Aerith is murdered by Sephiroth in front of Cloud. The developers provide so many clues as to who the main couple in this game should be. The various alternate dates all make for so-called player choice, but it is undeniable that Cloud and Aerith are the cannon couple and their Golden Saucer date is the cannon date in this game.
The game is designed so that players can choose who Cloud goes on a date with. However, the critical parts of the story that occur regardless of player choice all point towards Cloud and Aerith's powerful connection. Everything from the theme song, which Aerith writes in the hotel lobby at the Gold Saucer, the final date scene, the death scene, and dialogue that occurs from various NPCs all point towards Cloud and Aerith being the cannon couple. There is a reason why Sephiroth murders Aerith. It isn't to stop Holy, he can already suppress it from within the Lifestream. He murders her to torment Cloud. His goal is to break him mentally, physically, and emotionally by murdering who he cherishes the most. There are several instances where the game puts Tifa in danger, like her being pushed by Cloud into the mako pool and her being swallowed by a weapon, but non of those events cause Cloud react as he does when Aerith dies. The game is hyper focused on Aerith and Cloud's relationship - the entire ending is basically Cloud watching Aerith's spiritual form walking around or Cloud speaking to her spirit. Tifa doesn't have one line at the end of the game. You would think someone that is suppose to be Cloud's partner and love interest should have a bigger part to play in the final moments of the game, but the writers don't give Tifa any of those moments. Yea, she gets a kissing scene, which is cool, but it doesn't really make any difference or play a critical part in the story. Maybe SE will write Tifa more into the story in part 3, but parts 1 and 2 have been the Cloud and Aerith show so far with Tifa playing mostly a supporting role.
@@neoexodeath I know, the theme song lyrics definitely indicate that it’s from Aerith to Cloud, as it can’t be anyone else since it details their first meeting and so on. Marlene also tells Zack that Aerith has feelings for Cloud. The song itself seems proof enough that she has feelings for him, even without everything else. He wasn’t himself during the mako pool scene, and he does react to what he did to her pretty strongly once he snaps out of it. It’s also after that scene they have a deep chat and almost kiss. Then Aerith says something but it’s muted, and I can’t lip read. The ending was a bit strange to me, and not sure if he still thinks she’s alive or what. Not to mention the sky and multiple worlds thing. I thought part 1 was pretty equal in terms of content for the two women. And Tifa does get a lot of moments when he starts going off the rails. But Aerith is very important to story overall so it makes sense why she gets more attention, at least in part 2. Part 3 will I’m sure have some big moments for Tifa.
The scenes with Aerith are always so sad. I get this strange sense from her. That she is an ancient creature who just wants to be a normal girl. Burdened with a cruel destiny. You see her true form once the ribbon is drawn, the martyr.
Cloud always softened and being himself when around aerith. He always lost his cool around her. Seeing their relationship much more pure than with tifa which more like standard relationships kissing etc. But with aerith, cloud emotion is touched in different kind of level. Love this pair so much
Cloud x Aerith is canon: Aerith plays Rosa in 4 of the 6 dates & is Rosa in the credits & makes the most sense narratively & Aerith’s date has been default & canon since 1997
In my playthrough, they did something that imo meant almost as much as a kiss, if not more. Around the part at 17:48 in this video, in my playthrough, cloud actually grabbed aerith's hand and they held hands, interlocked fingers and everything
I love how the CA gondola date gets 2 references/callbacks in the main story! And the fact that it’s in the ending credits, Square really went out of their way to be like, you can get the other dates and have fun, but this one is the one that matters. Cloud x Aerith are perfect together, such an iconic romance 🥰
It was the same way with the special scenes in Ch. 15 of Remake. Square Enix will provide a bunch of optional scenes to make the fan base happy with whoever they ship, but always put clues in the game, like at post game credits, of what scene is cannon for the actual storyline. They did this with Kingdom Hearts too where they added special scenes and character interactions during the credit roll.
Aerith has her way with words, what she told him on their date about Zach, I couldn't write or say something like that so "openly" Aerith's "and that okay, because right now, I wanna be with YOU" are the words that every man wants to hear from his beloved. Amirite boys
@@yakistolfo There’s still the other Aerith too! We saw Sephiroth enter the Church but it was left ambiguous what happened. Also she’s the Aerith with the pin. She has a distinction now in her character model, I feel they’re going to do something with that.
Curious thing to ask.. Cloud has the Holy Material now, whereas before; when Aerith was killed; it fell out of her hair and into the water. So what is to come of this?
@@Logixal4311I agree, it’s pretty clear Aerith loves Cloud more than Zack. She basically said it out loud, and also Marlene corroborates this to a stunned but forgiving Zack. How anyone still thinks otherwise is beyond me.
So, I still don't know now. Sure, Tifa kissed Cloud, but still, I feel that there is also love between Cloud and Aerith. So, who does he love now, and what's the situation?"
@@dreamstheme7583 But why does it? Aerith and Tifa aren’t the same, their personalities are different, and their relationship with Cloud and how he acts around them is too. So their outcomes being what they are make sense giving the complexities of their relationship’s.
@@dreamstheme7583 So Zack and Aerith never shared mutual romantic feelings because they never kissed? Don’t think Locke and Celes, or Zidane and Garnet did either. And sure CA could of kissed, but their relationship is complicated. Yet what they do have, especially in the later half of the game like you mentioned, is meaningful. It does make sense if you believe that CA and CT are both canon. I think it’s established throughout the many media and interviews that Cloud has feelings for both women, and they for him. The new novel confirms Tifa’s love for Cloud, OTWTAS confirms Aerith’s. There’s more that confirm it too in dev interviews and Ultimanias etc.
Well it's a japanese game/drama, most romantic japanese couples in real life and media don't show that much affection in public and they decide to only show it when they're alone in private or behind closed doors.
@@zackfair6791for me, I just let her be herself. We all know what happened in the og. It's like I'm happy that she gets a ton of fun scenes be it a little weird or cringe but I appreciate them because we know that her days are numbered.
@@zackfair6791if I know I’m about to die to save the world and I want to live my life to the fullest I would be a weirdo and not have a care in the world. Everyone is burden by their trauma and have to do the right thing but then there’s Aerith can’t escape fate and wanton to love but can’t go all out for it. 😂😂 I love weirdo then.
I like both girls. This time Aerith is alive. So they can be together. Romance with Tifa is very good. But I prefer Aerith always as a person. Cloud with her is more like (himself) and they are good together. Zack for me is always better with Cissnei. I hope they will meet in future
I don't get the hype behind Tifa. Sure she is beautiful and she is a badass fighter but her whole personality is that she is nice.+ She is a total freebie, Cloud would only need to snap his fingers and she would start jumping until he says to stop. That's just boring. She feels like an NPC compared to Aerith.
@@CrazyxEnigma Yeah, these Tifa haters made me stop being an avid Clerith shipper. I can't believe people say Tifa is an "NPC" when she was a Playable Character in the OG.
Why didn't we get to see a kiss between them ?? why Square ?? you've made such an incredible relationship between them, full of chemistry, something magical, since FF7 Remake...why did you give Cloud/Tifa a chance to kiss and not Cloud/Aerith ?? someone help me understand please
i suspect it is a narritive choice, imagine this, if aerith knows she is to die at sephiroth's hands, would you still persue a relationship, knowing full well that the death of a romantic partner messes a person up even more than the death of a close friend, albeit only slightly less?, that is atleast my headcannon, that they chose to write aerith so she has feelings for cloud and wants to persue him romantically, but she has to sacrifice her feelings in order to save cloud, atleast to me that is the only logical reason for it, but it could also be cuz of dumb/lazy writing/animating on SE's side
Honestly... I don't know what to think. I feel sad, I feel that Square just wanted to please a certain fan base and that's it (although I think the moment between Cloud and Aerith was pretty good... but a kiss always gives you that idea that it's the culmination of feelings between two people). I'd rather they'd done it like in the original... there'd be no kisses for anyone and the theories would go on for years@@shadowmaster335
This remake has stayed fairly faithful to the og 97 one but the Tifa romance has gotten very deep already and it wasn't supposed to be this early because they become lovers way later in the story Zack is back so maybe they thought there's no more need to keep the love triangle going that hard anymore but then again since Aerith is dead in the main universe there could be a way she makes it in the Zack timeline and get things going that way. Clerith tbh is pretty much nonexistent again but Zack though is an outlier.
@@francisco24slb1Zack and Aerith never kissed either, so it hardly matters. Instead she and Cloud interlock fingers, which can be considered more intimate than a kiss in some cases.
@@crzycatisback8247Then why is the theme song all about where they met? Cobblestone streets, our corner, our street, struggling against the crowds and finding ourselves all alone. Not to mention the parts about taking her hand and never letting go, which match with Hollow. She and Zack never went up top, which is the only place cobblestone is. And OTWTAS confirms that she has feelings for him too.
Bro thinks those scenes between Cloud and Tifa were intimate😂 Look at Clouds cute smiles when he is with Aerith meanwhile his face when he is with Tifa... he is like mmhh meh😂😂😂
I love all Cloud ships couple but for me. I would choose Aerith. She's so cute. And honestly this is my headcanon. But i also like CloudxTifa/Yuffie (as long as Tifa is not cheating on Barret or cloud wait for Yuffie to be an adult)
The best aerith and cloud segment was at cosmo canyon during her lantern speech. You can tell her a"That's enough!" That part was frickin hilarious 😂 the look on his face when he says it and she just brushes it off. like dont mind him hes a nut.
If you were playing the OG, you will have to make a hard decision when you want to date Tifa. I mean in the OG, Aerith would start out with the highest point with this affinity system by default of course which means if you are nice to everybody, Aerith will date you. So if you are in love with Aerith and suppose you were to play the OG, the most difficult part for you may also have to include being mean to Aerith which may include calling Aerith a slum drunk, or choosing not to be jealous of Aerith's past relationship with Zack. In the OG, they give you dialogue options to choose from and you won't get an early notice unlike the Rebirth version. In Rebirth version, at least the game will tell you that your relationship status has changed. In the OG, you have to keep track on how mean you are to Aerith just mean enough for her affinity points to be lower than Tifa.
There are two variations an intimate and a standard depending on affinity. I had pretty much everyone maxed out in the party by CH.12 and got Aerith for the date, I think both T/A start with a higher default affinity towards Cloud so one of those two are much more likely to get the date scene than Barret/Yuffie/Red/others but you still have to do a lot of SQ to get the intimate variation.
Ngl I had to spoil myself on the saucer date since I seen the tifa one. And man I figured they were going to go this route. The Zack timeline now allows for aerith to be with her puppy first love knight in shining armour zack in his timeline. While cloud gets to be with tifa in the current timeline. Imo if aerith wasn’t meant to die, I’m sure her and cloud would be together but I knew square didn’t have the balls to not kill her.
I really hope they will let the player determine who cloud ends up with (I’m certain that aerith is going to return somehow). It seems like the only fair way to sort out the love triangle conundrum. That way both cloti shippers and clerith shippers will be happy. Though I think you can probably guess which side of the fence I’m on being that I’m watching this video😂
Hate to say it but the original hits the feels so much harder. Briefer, the music, and something about a little more being left to the imagination… made it better in my opinion.
I romanced tifa in rebirth 😄 and this was what i would call a date. She is super cool in the remake. But i also love aerith for her deep kindness. Shes a really pure soul. Love the FF7 cast since playing the original one back in 1997. It had a massive impact on me.
Why is Aerith kinda gas lighting Cloud and hurting Tifa intentionally? She gives him a flower as a flower girl and scolds him for gifting it? She tells you that Cloud has to value the friendship with Tifa more, sees that Tifa is in love with Cloud and tells her in her face "we were on a date😁" just to see her hurting face? Making her even more insecure? She doesn't need that, it makes me unlike her :(
Can someone tell me if Aerith explicitly tells Cloud she loves him in this game? I’m in Chapter 7 and know the ending but I want to know if she says those words during the Golden Saucer date in Ch12
Eu estava navegando nas redes sociais e encontrei comentários tão grotesco que o outro, os Cleriths são tão doentes do que os Clotis, porque? Porque os Cleriths chamam a Tifa de vadia, chamam ela de manipuladora, ficam comentando que o Cloud sente incomodado perto da Tifa, que a Tifa força o Cloud fazer as coisas, chamam os fãs da Tifa de doentes da cabeça, esses dias atrás li um comentário de um Clerith falando da aparência de uma menina que é fã da Tifa, comentou coisas horríveis e depois desapareceu com o comentário sobre a menina, porque ia receber uma denúncia, os Cleriths tentam manipular os novos fãs da FF7, não deixa ninguém dar uma opinião sobre não gostar de Clerith e porque o Cloti é a razão ser cânon, os Cleriths são perseguidores, eles vão atras dos Clotis no meio da provocação, depois se passam de vítimas, aí ficam comentando que os Clotis são perseguidores e manipuladores sabendo que os Cleriths são isso. Você que é novato ou novata da franquia de FF7, cuidado com os Cleriths, querem saber mais das história dessa franquia e procure por conta pobria, porque os Cleriths vão te encher com mentiras.
Fortunately, this kind of game only allows you to date 1 character only. If you date any other character, it will be a sexless date. Cloud will only kiss Tifa. This is the kind of game where only a player have a power to choose who they want to date but Cloud have a power to choose who he wants to kiss. Just like when playing Final Fantasy X, players can choose who they want to date and flirt with but only Tidus chooses who he wants to kiss and that will be Yuna. Example is Tidus can choose to flirt and date Rikku and he also have options to flirt and date Lulu but they won't share a kiss with Tidus.
Canonically it’s Aerith. Although fans can choose Tifa. These days it’s up to player interpretation. But yeah, there is a reason why in the original timeline Cloud didn’t get with Tifa after FF7, he was mourning Aerith who is his (as of the original timeline) canonical love interest. But yeah, it’s really up to you in your actual playthroughs though.
@@KamusariHR Creators has stated a few times, also lots of the moments that Cloud shares with Aerith happen by default if you don’t really pay much mind to the whole love triangle thing in the original game, suggesting her being canon over Tifa. Also Advent Children is canon, and notice how Cloud distanced himself from everyone, including Tifa, and lived alone at Aerith’s church as he basically mourned Aerith all that time following the events of FF7.
The sad thing is Aerith interactions with Cloud is like someone who yearn for affection yet still barricade herself enough so that their relationship doesn't gone to far. As if she knows that she wouldn't be with him later on. 😢
Exactly! you get it!!!

There is something very special about gals who put on a cheery outlook despite all the absolute garbage treatment they got in life.

Because real cloud only appears after Aerith is gone.
Imo, Cloud and Tifa felt a little more natural when it got deep or intimate. Tifa is my Bias so I kind of think she’s too good for him though in my honest opinion.

THe sleeping forest scene, The final date scene, the scenes of Cloud hugging because he cant let go of her and the ending of rebirth with NPTK playing again after they say goodbye.

What?! Tifa is a BADDIE
Good girl
Aerith is so beautiful
How dare you disrespect the goddess that is Tifa
Nah, Aerith would leave Cloud as soon as Zack appears.
I didn't play the original but in Remake the chemistry between Cloud and Aerith is lightyears ahead of Cloud and Tifa imo. And just finished Rebirth; am an emotional mess rn. Hope Aerith and Cloud reunite in part 3
The theme song is all about them, how they met and more. It can even connect to Hollow.
On the final date, the theme song plays in the background, and they even have a full circle moment of Aerith getting a yellow flower brooch as a first gift from Cloud, which mirrors him getting a yellow flower from her as a gift on their first meeting.
Marlene tells Zack that Aerith has feelings for Cloud when he asks her.
And she pretty much confesses to Cloud in the church, as there would be no reason to bring it up otherwise. If she didn’t like him romantically she could of said nothing and went straight to giving him the materia.
Then the ending scene with the sweet callback to the first game with the “You gonna be ok getting back?” “And if I said I wasn’t?” exchange from the first game.
Omg
Omg!
It’s so clear they have the deepest love. Their romance is so sweet and innocent, almost playful. I think it’s the best pairing, they just complement each other so well.
Promises to Keep is about how Aerith knows she's going to die and is sad because she will miss everyone. It's a goodbye letter to her friends that she wishes she could stay with but can't. It's not a love song about her and Cloud.
@@user-dsfhsdjf-32463 the song can be interpreted in many different ways, but yes, it’s also about the relationship between Cloud & Aerith. There is a lot of symbolism in FF7. The flower she gave cloud in remake symbolizes reunion, it’s sort of hinting at the idea of fate and how sometimes you meet and fall in love with someone by destiny. In the original game, Cait Sith reads a fortune telling message that says they are perfect for each other and the stars align for them. The song plays off that metaphor of fate vs. chance. It’s about a love that cannot be, because Aerith has many burdens being an Ancient, so in a way she makes a sacrifice due to her duty of protecting the planet, but the price is losing the opportunity to be with Cloud and “being in love” so to speak. But what’s interesting is even after her passing, Aerith and Cloud continue to meet. Another sign that this connection is strong even after death. This is no different in the remake series. And the play “Loveless” shares many similar themes with the actual story. So in a way you can refer to them as star-crossed lovers. The song actually gives off tragic vibes, and that’s also what happens to Aerith, she had so much to live for but because she was selfless, she gave her life to protect her friends and her lover. That’s why she tells Cloud in the ending, that she wants to save the world and also “him”, to free him from his suffering. Because she cares about him, not just as a friend but someone who has feelings for him. I’m actually surprised how a lot of people seem to think she didn’t have any feelings. She’s a woman for crying out loud, and she spent a vast majority of her time around Cloud. It’s so obvious she liked him.
The fact there wasnt a kiss scene with Aerith is BLASPHEMOUS!
real
Cope
This ain't a dating sim 😂 why would cloud go around kissing everyone
Eh, the date and kiss with Tifa was mostly fan-service. Tifa fans probably would have sent death threats to the devs again if it didn't happen.
@orome9793 Right because SE and all the devs sat in a meeting and discussed the 3 twts Nojima received and asked all the writers, mocap actors, and animators to put the kiss in 🤡 y'all delusional if you believe this is how it came about 😂
P.s If you're referring to that one twt nojima specifically called out, then no, that came from a Jessie fanboy. Had nothing to do with Tifa 🙄

I won't lie, they made it much harder in this part for me to choose between Aerith and Tifa. I feel like both girls had good chemistry with Cloud. In part 1, I feel Aerith was the one who had the best chemistry and that Tifa felt more one-sided.
It kindda bothers me how they changed cloud's personalty in the second game, just to favor tifa a little bit more, when in the first game he was so unniterested towards her...
@bululiulululu it based on the dialouge you choose
@@VeSpEr7iNe Uninterested ? Literally the first thing he does after meeting her for the first time in Remake is offer her the flower Aerith gave to him.
@@VeSpEr7iNe Did you really think so? In the end, all this fuss started because Cloud decided to become a soldier just to show off in front of the girl he liked. He had and still has feelings for Tifa, but Zack's memories make him fixate on Aerith.
And it's not because the whole damn Rebirth didn't try to favor Aerith more than Tifa. Almost all the scenes with Aerith are very well staged and seek to give her more importance.
Maybe cuz it’s Zack’s destiny to be with Aerith
I didn’t see this in the video, but in my play through on the Ferris wheel,aerith and cloud held hands after aerith said, just until the end of the ride
I prefer Cloud with Aerith or at least make Aerith to live.Everyone has a story line they love which is not about selfish or keeping the original story intact, it is about we all expecting things good in these days. Now is no longer 1997 the value, the mindset and global environment totally different. people need more positive and faith for good. Multi ending in part 3 would be more appreciated than just let the player day dreaming in the DLC.
Exactly. They should make multiple endings. There could be an ending that would end just like the OG ff7 for "purists" and happy endings where Cloud and Aerith/Tifa (depending on the players choice) get into a romantic relationship. That way everyone could be happy + the arguments over which one is canon would keep the game alive pretty much forever.
I'm not looking forward to them shoving the Cloud and Tifa relationship down our throats in the third game. I know some (maybe most) of the male audience are looking forward to it, but I'd just don't get the appeal now.
Aerith's death has been devastating in 1997, lol.. but the fans didn't expect it to hit so hard a second time. People want an end to the yearning...some relief that can meaningfully conclude their unrealistic expectations...which, let's face it, were put there on purpose.
It's honestly surprising that Clerith is not as popular as Cloti, given the large amount of vocal Cleriths. Cloud and Aerith clearly have great romantic chemistry together. Opposites attract. Cloud and Tifa are nice, but they clearly both have psychological issues that need to be dealt before they can get into a romantic relationship.
Yeah, if you watched AC then you can notice tifa and cloud did have a chance to form a loving relationship, but that didn't happen because cloud was dealing with his traumas and his depression during that time, he did love aerith more.
@@DominatorMaharanth Cloud and Tifa just don't romantically click well with one another. The moment the truth was revealed that Cloud and Tifa were never "childhood friends", I no longer supported them as a romantic couple. Especially after seeing how Tifa had friends as a little girl, but Cloud was not one of them at all. She never even invited Cloud into her group which was the worst part of all. I always have been pro-Clerith at the very beginning and liked the Cloti ship until I saw the Lifestream sequence in full detail. If Tifa really was his "childhood friend", she wouldn't have stood there while the entire village blamed Cloud for her seven-day coma. NO FRIEND would ever do that. That's definitive proof that Cloud and Tifa were never friends as children. They were just neighbors at best. Their relationship is more akin to siblings than childhood sweethearts. I don't hate Tifa at all, but I still have a hard time forgiving her for how she treated Cloud to this very day. The main reason I don't want Cloud and Tifa together as a romantic couple is NOT because I hate either of them, but rather it's because I LOVE both of them and believe they both deserve the most compatible partners. Cloud and Tifa's relationship is rather parasitic than mutual. Tifa keeps asking for more than what Cloud can give and Cloud keeps trying to meet her expectations but falls short of her quota. That's not a healthy relationship at all. They both already have traumatic experiences and trying to make their relationship work is just going to put more psychological strain on both of them.
@@EvelynL.1112 Well to be fair Tifa didn't remember what happened, everyone told her that Cloud pushed her off the hill. She didn't believe it but she also had no memory of the incident to know if it were true or not. They're just incompatible imo, Aerith and Cloud have an unspoken connection that Tifa and him just don't have. Maybe it's the shared grief of losing Zack or being alienated because they're different, regardless i think Aerith sees through Cloud's persona without him even having to explain it. As for Tifa she's consistently struggling to understand what's going on in Cloud's mind, begging him to explain it to her so he can seek comfort. Which he does but there's something inherently less intimate about that. I always question if whether or not Cloud's feelings for Tifa are real or if they're illusions due to the fact he can barely remember his own childhood and only remember his crush on her. I agree with a lot of your points tho
@@BinnThereDoneThat Even if she had no memory of whether Cloud pushed her off the bridge or not, she should have asked herself if Cloud would do such a horrible thing. She was the one who insisted on marching into the mountains to see her deceased mother, it doesn't take much thought to discern that SHE was the one responsible for her own predicament. As for Tifa yelling at Cloud, I get she is trying this "tough love" approach in order to get him out of his self-doubt. But she needs to remember that Cloud is emotionally and mentally fragile. She's making him feel even more insecure with all the scolding and the accusing. She's basically treating him similarly to how the other villagers of Nibelheim(except his mother) treated him as a young boy.
@@EvelynL.1112 I would agree but they were kids at the time and she had no malice intent behind her actions, children don't really think before they do irrational things in general. Now if they were teens when this all happened i'd definitely agree, i think this situation is something i can easily forgive her for since Cloud never hated her for it and he was already use to the town alienating him. What I don't understand though is her expectations of him even after the death of so many friends, he's a deserter who struggling to process his traumas whilst suffering with amnesia (and sephiroth's mind control). I understand that sometimes Cloud can be insensitive and blunt but she lets her feelings get in the way of acknowledging his deteriorating mental state. He is obviously not mentally present/stable when he's questioning whether or not she's "real", she's so caught up in the idea that he doesn't trust her that she fails to see the bigger issue at hand. That he's struggling to grasp reality. Her approaches to him feel less like "tough love" but rather self centered kindness(???), it's less about actually being kind but rather doing so to satisfy/sooth ones ego. I mean she said it herself in Nibelheim, she feels like she always needs people to like her which i think is a major flaw of hers that sabotages a deeper connection with Cloud. She's aware of this flaw and hates it but does she actively work against it? I don't think she does which is why they'll never fully work out. I wonder where how their "relationship" will pan out in part 3 now that Aerith isn't physically there but Cloud can see her
The game already references which girl Cloud cherishes the most. The first time you arrive in the Golden Saucer and make your way to the haunted hotel, Cait Sith gives Cloud a fortune card when Cloud asks if Cait Sith has any info on Sephiroth. The fortune card says that Cloud will find who he seeks (Sephiroth), but at the price of losing the person that Cloud cherishes most. This is a full reference to the end of Rebirth where Aerith is murdered by Sephiroth in front of Cloud.
The developers provide so many clues as to who the main couple in this game should be. The various alternate dates all make for so-called player choice, but it is undeniable that Cloud and Aerith are the cannon couple and their Golden Saucer date is the cannon date in this game.
Yes, the kissing with tifa is a fan service and not make sense as the date with aerith in the whole story line
@@DRuby-mj2yxSe fosse com a Aerith esse beijo, já diria o contrário, né?
@@whitewolf7454everything is confusing, my brain hurts…
The game is designed so that players can choose who Cloud goes on a date with. However, the critical parts of the story that occur regardless of player choice all point towards Cloud and Aerith's powerful connection. Everything from the theme song, which Aerith writes in the hotel lobby at the Gold Saucer, the final date scene, the death scene, and dialogue that occurs from various NPCs all point towards Cloud and Aerith being the cannon couple. There is a reason why Sephiroth murders Aerith. It isn't to stop Holy, he can already suppress it from within the Lifestream. He murders her to torment Cloud. His goal is to break him mentally, physically, and emotionally by murdering who he cherishes the most. There are several instances where the game puts Tifa in danger, like her being pushed by Cloud into the mako pool and her being swallowed by a weapon, but non of those events cause Cloud react as he does when Aerith dies. The game is hyper focused on Aerith and Cloud's relationship - the entire ending is basically Cloud watching Aerith's spiritual form walking around or Cloud speaking to her spirit. Tifa doesn't have one line at the end of the game. You would think someone that is suppose to be Cloud's partner and love interest should have a bigger part to play in the final moments of the game, but the writers don't give Tifa any of those moments. Yea, she gets a kissing scene, which is cool, but it doesn't really make any difference or play a critical part in the story. Maybe SE will write Tifa more into the story in part 3, but parts 1 and 2 have been the Cloud and Aerith show so far with Tifa playing mostly a supporting role.
@@neoexodeath I know, the theme song lyrics definitely indicate that it’s from Aerith to Cloud, as it can’t be anyone else since it details their first meeting and so on. Marlene also tells Zack that Aerith has feelings for Cloud. The song itself seems proof enough that she has feelings for him, even without everything else.
He wasn’t himself during the mako pool scene, and he does react to what he did to her pretty strongly once he snaps out of it. It’s also after that scene they have a deep chat and almost kiss. Then Aerith says something but it’s muted, and I can’t lip read.
The ending was a bit strange to me, and not sure if he still thinks she’s alive or what. Not to mention the sky and multiple worlds thing.
I thought part 1 was pretty equal in terms of content for the two women. And Tifa does get a lot of moments when he starts going off the rails. But Aerith is very important to story overall so it makes sense why she gets more attention, at least in part 2. Part 3 will I’m sure have some big moments for Tifa.
This is not even close to all the romance scenes.
I agree this is just a memorable moment but still precious for those who ship cloud and aerith.
@@jgirlisme646 This person didn't even bother to show the correct dialogue options or max affinity scenes with Aerith. This video is a joke.
@@zamaskowany12 yes it’s disappointing, so I’m still here too on yt digging for more videos bout em☺️
The scenes with Aerith are always so sad. I get this strange sense from her. That she is an ancient creature who just wants to be a normal girl. Burdened with a cruel destiny. You see her true form once the ribbon is drawn, the martyr.
15:01 the way they both stood there has me screaming i cant
Cloud always softened and being himself when around aerith. He always lost his cool around her. Seeing their relationship much more pure than with tifa which more like standard relationships kissing etc. But with aerith, cloud emotion is touched in different kind of level. Love this pair so much
Me too
Yes and for me the kiss with Tifa is very out of character for cloud.
Cloud x Aerith is canon: Aerith plays Rosa in 4 of the 6 dates & is Rosa in the credits & makes the most sense narratively & Aerith’s date has been default & canon since 1997
They should've kissed atleast but their interaction is fine enough for me.
Their only friends that's aspect for them not to kiss
@@Shybeanieweirdo What? Friends? Oh no!!!
Yes how unfair that Tifa gets a kiss!
@@mana-uv7cz Its so unfair, but for what its worth their chemistry is more than enough than a scene with a kiss.
In my playthrough, they did something that imo meant almost as much as a kiss, if not more. Around the part at 17:48 in this video, in my playthrough, cloud actually grabbed aerith's hand and they held hands, interlocked fingers and everything
I love how the CA gondola date gets 2 references/callbacks in the main story! And the fact that it’s in the ending credits, Square really went out of their way to be like, you can get the other dates and have fun, but this one is the one that matters.
Cloud x Aerith are perfect together, such an iconic romance 🥰
It was the same way with the special scenes in Ch. 15 of Remake. Square Enix will provide a bunch of optional scenes to make the fan base happy with whoever they ship, but always put clues in the game, like at post game credits, of what scene is cannon for the actual storyline. They did this with Kingdom Hearts too where they added special scenes and character interactions during the credit roll.
Even the theme song is about them, it talks all about their meeting.
I beated the game yesterday and in the credits it didnt show the ferris wheel scene
No, but it showed everything else from the date at the Gold Saucer.
where does the date get referenced 2 times actually?
And the ending credits shows the one with Aerith yea? Is there only one version?
All I’m saying is I was rooting for Cloud and Aerith.
In Kingdom Hearts, he caught a break because her and Leon were alive.
Aerith has her way with words, what she told him on their date about Zach, I couldn't write or say something like that so "openly"
Aerith's "and that okay, because right now, I wanna be with YOU" are the words that every man wants to hear from his beloved.
Amirite boys

@@yakistolfo There’s still the other Aerith too! We saw Sephiroth enter the Church but it was left ambiguous what happened. Also she’s the Aerith with the pin. She has a distinction now in her character model, I feel they’re going to do something with that.

The tifa one is better
Aerith and Cloud best Final Fantasy relationship ever 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Curious thing to ask.. Cloud has the Holy Material now, whereas before; when Aerith was killed; it fell out of her hair and into the water. So what is to come of this?
What's the question exactly? He got both the black and holy materia with him, you see it in the ending scene
Perhaps having the WM in his possession will somehow protect him from sephiroth's influence. I'll probably never know, myself.
I don't think its holy, its the empty materia from dream/future aerith. So it means that scene really happened and not just Cloud imagination
I ship Cloud with Tifa and Aerith with Zack but I must admit these scenes between Cloud and Aerith are adorable
Ship doesn’t matter at this point. Aerith confessed her love for Cloud and in all timelines, so pretty much Zack x Aerith is dead
@@Logixal4311I agree, it’s pretty clear Aerith loves Cloud more than Zack. She basically said it out loud, and also Marlene corroborates this to a stunned but forgiving Zack. How anyone still thinks otherwise is beyond me.
I wish they added all of their scenes, this vid doesn’t make them as much justice.
So, I still don't know now. Sure, Tifa kissed Cloud, but still, I feel that there is also love between Cloud and Aerith. So, who does he love now, and what's the situation?"
Kissing isn’t the only intimate thing to do. She and Zack never kissed either so it doesn’t make much difference.
@@dreamstheme7583 But why does it? Aerith and Tifa aren’t the same, their personalities are different, and their relationship with Cloud and how he acts around them is too. So their outcomes being what they are make sense giving the complexities of their relationship’s.
@@dreamstheme7583 So Zack and Aerith never shared mutual romantic feelings because they never kissed? Don’t think Locke and Celes, or Zidane and Garnet did either. And sure CA could of kissed, but their relationship is complicated. Yet what they do have, especially in the later half of the game like you mentioned, is meaningful.
It does make sense if you believe that CA and CT are both canon. I think it’s established throughout the many media and interviews that Cloud has feelings for both women, and they for him. The new novel confirms Tifa’s love for Cloud, OTWTAS confirms Aerith’s. There’s more that confirm it too in dev interviews and Ultimanias etc.
Well it's a japanese game/drama, most romantic japanese couples in real life and media don't show that much affection in public and they decide to only show it when they're alone in private or behind closed doors.

I like both girls. This time Aerith is alive. So they can be together. Romance with Tifa is very good. But I prefer Aerith always as a person. Cloud with her is more like (himself) and they are good together. Zack for me is always better with Cissnei. I hope they will meet in future
"I like both girls"- *proceeds to badmouth Tifa in other videos* Pathetic.
I don't get the hype behind Tifa. Sure she is beautiful and she is a badass fighter but her whole personality is that she is nice.+ She is a total freebie, Cloud would only need to snap his fingers and she would start jumping until he says to stop. That's just boring. She feels like an NPC compared to Aerith.

Why didn't we get to see a kiss between them ?? why Square ?? you've made such an incredible relationship between them, full of chemistry, something magical, since FF7 Remake...why did you give Cloud/Tifa a chance to kiss and not Cloud/Aerith ?? someone help me understand please
i suspect it is a narritive choice, imagine this, if aerith knows she is to die at sephiroth's hands, would you still persue a relationship, knowing full well that the death of a romantic partner messes a person up even more than the death of a close friend, albeit only slightly less?, that is atleast my headcannon, that they chose to write aerith so she has feelings for cloud and wants to persue him romantically, but she has to sacrifice her feelings in order to save cloud, atleast to me that is the only logical reason for it, but it could also be cuz of dumb/lazy writing/animating on SE's side
Honestly... I don't know what to think. I feel sad, I feel that Square just wanted to please a certain fan base and that's it (although I think the moment between Cloud and Aerith was pretty good... but a kiss always gives you that idea that it's the culmination of feelings between two people). I'd rather they'd done it like in the original... there'd be no kisses for anyone and the theories would go on for years@@shadowmaster335
@@francisco24slb1They aren’t pandering to a fanbase lol, it’s continuing with the original and AC’s canon.
This remake has stayed fairly faithful to the og 97 one but the Tifa romance has gotten very deep already and it wasn't supposed to be this early because they become lovers way later in the story Zack is back so maybe they thought there's no more need to keep the love triangle going that hard anymore but then again since Aerith is dead in the main universe there could be a way she makes it in the Zack timeline and get things going that way. Clerith tbh is pretty much nonexistent again but Zack though is an outlier.

Nah they abt to kiss at the one part cloud was in for it😂😂😂
I think I'm fall in love with Aerith. She is nice, pretty, yet so cheerful, so adorable! Really love her. But, dunno, I still shipped Cloud with Tifa.
If you were playing the OG, you will have to make a hard decision when you want to date Tifa. I mean in the OG, Aerith would start out with the highest point with this affinity system by default of course which means if you are nice to everybody, Aerith will date you. So if you are in love with Aerith and suppose you were to play the OG, the most difficult part for you may also have to include being mean to Aerith which may include calling Aerith a slum drunk, or choosing not to be jealous of Aerith's past relationship with Zack. In the OG, they give you dialogue options to choose from and you won't get an early notice unlike the Rebirth version. In Rebirth version, at least the game will tell you that your relationship status has changed. In the OG, you have to keep track on how mean you are to Aerith just mean enough for her affinity points to be lower than Tifa.
Gotta love them 😊

Nice ❤
I feel like there's more tho
Cloud didn't hold Aerith's hand in the Gold Saucer date? Where is that scene?
There are two variations an intimate and a standard depending on affinity. I had pretty much everyone maxed out in the party by CH.12 and got Aerith for the date, I think both T/A start with a higher default affinity towards Cloud so one of those two are much more likely to get the date scene than Barret/Yuffie/Red/others but you still have to do a lot of SQ to get the intimate variation.
They did for me.
Nice vid

Because they’re both amazing on the same levels.🙃
Agreed
Tifa is the ideal girl in real life. But i have to agree when it comes to cloud. Aerith complements his personality.
Aerith - "Cloud, no matter what happens.....please don't let them use my graphical skin for vids on xvideo".
Cloud - "Uh........"
Ngl I had to spoil myself on the saucer date since I seen the tifa one. And man I figured they were going to go this route. The Zack timeline now allows for aerith to be with her puppy first love knight in shining armour zack in his timeline. While cloud gets to be with tifa in the current timeline. Imo if aerith wasn’t meant to die, I’m sure her and cloud would be together but I knew square didn’t have the balls to not kill her.
This version of FF7 is just a whole korean drama love story lmao
they're goals and i love them and if they don't kiss the whole story would be incomplete 😅
I really hope they will let the player determine who cloud ends up with (I’m certain that aerith is going to return somehow). It seems like the only fair way to sort out the love triangle conundrum. That way both cloti shippers and clerith shippers will be happy. Though I think you can probably guess which side of the fence I’m on being that I’m watching this video😂
Hate to say it but the original hits the feels so much harder. Briefer, the music, and something about a little more being left to the imagination… made it better in my opinion.

Cloud: for couples? As in..
*lightning flashes*
Sephiroth: Heh heh *sharpens sword*
Oh no…!😢
Hold up, hold up, hold up! So let me get this straight; aerith can Usain bolt it up the stairs but God forbid she has to go on a hike?!
14:20 till this day I don’t understand why Cloud declined to sit next to Aerith.
Just to look cool, I assume.
... because he literally just remembered that the guy Aerith still might have feelings for was his friend that he totally forgot about?
Aerith > Tifa
This team Barret.😂
All of these bots and their booty pics are killing me
I romanced tifa in rebirth 😄 and this was what i would call a date. She is super cool in the remake. But i also love aerith for her deep kindness. Shes a really pure soul. Love the FF7 cast since playing the original one back in 1997. It had a massive impact on me.
Welll sadly he just got a standard sence at the skywheel sence it would be better if he got a intimated sence😂😂
Why is Aerith kinda gas lighting Cloud and hurting Tifa intentionally? She gives him a flower as a flower girl and scolds him for gifting it? She tells you that Cloud has to value the friendship with Tifa more, sees that Tifa is in love with Cloud and tells her in her face "we were on a date😁" just to see her hurting face? Making her even more insecure?
She doesn't need that, it makes me unlike her :(
Kinda feel one-sided romance than a full blown one.
Cloud most of the time seem confused
cloud always looks confused with everyone lmao
Lol that’s how I feel
@@garukong.our boy got a severe case of the Tism lol
Tifa or Aerith now that is an win win lose lose decision.
Can someone tell me if Aerith explicitly tells Cloud she loves him in this game? I’m in Chapter 7 and know the ending but I want to know if she says those words during the Golden Saucer date in Ch12
From what I heard, she does in JP ver but not english or sum
No she doesn't
@@thebrigade7684 From the explanation I read, The way she says I Like you was said in a romantic context

Eu estava navegando nas redes sociais e encontrei comentários tão grotesco que o outro, os Cleriths são tão doentes do que os Clotis, porque? Porque os Cleriths chamam a Tifa de vadia, chamam ela de manipuladora, ficam comentando que o Cloud sente incomodado perto da Tifa, que a Tifa força o Cloud fazer as coisas, chamam os fãs da Tifa de doentes da cabeça, esses dias atrás li um comentário de um Clerith falando da aparência de uma menina que é fã da Tifa, comentou coisas horríveis e depois desapareceu com o comentário sobre a menina, porque ia receber uma denúncia, os Cleriths tentam manipular os novos fãs da FF7, não deixa ninguém dar uma opinião sobre não gostar de Clerith e porque o Cloti é a razão ser cânon, os Cleriths são perseguidores, eles vão atras dos Clotis no meio da provocação, depois se passam de vítimas, aí ficam comentando que os Clotis são perseguidores e manipuladores sabendo que os Cleriths são isso.
Você que é novato ou novata da franquia de FF7, cuidado com os Cleriths, querem saber mais das história dessa franquia e procure por conta pobria, porque os Cleriths vão te encher com mentiras.
Umh, can i choose both ?
Fortunately, this kind of game only allows you to date 1 character only. If you date any other character, it will be a sexless date. Cloud will only kiss Tifa. This is the kind of game where only a player have a power to choose who they want to date but Cloud have a power to choose who he wants to kiss.
Just like when playing Final Fantasy X, players can choose who they want to date and flirt with but only Tidus chooses who he wants to kiss and that will be Yuna. Example is Tidus can choose to flirt and date Rikku and he also have options to flirt and date Lulu but they won't share a kiss with Tidus.
❤❤❤❤
Screw these cloud x sephiroth is best 😂
Aerith and Tifa are the same woman
Poly is the way
Ha! But with best relation with Tifa Cloud gets "more". That confirms it for me.
So Cloud loves Tifa or Aerith? Or both?
Just tifa
Canonically it’s Aerith. Although fans can choose Tifa. These days it’s up to player interpretation. But yeah, there is a reason why in the original timeline Cloud didn’t get with Tifa after FF7, he was mourning Aerith who is his (as of the original timeline) canonical love interest. But yeah, it’s really up to you in your actual playthroughs though.
@@trevinodudehow do u know? None of the ff games made clear that cloud actually loves aerith even in the previous games it was all choosen options.
@@KamusariHR Creators has stated a few times, also lots of the moments that Cloud shares with Aerith happen by default if you don’t really pay much mind to the whole love triangle thing in the original game, suggesting her being canon over Tifa. Also Advent Children is canon, and notice how Cloud distanced himself from everyone, including Tifa, and lived alone at Aerith’s church as he basically mourned Aerith all that time following the events of FF7.
@@trevinodude so cloud and zack loves aerith and aerith loves or loved both? Dunno seems rlly depressed to me
Brooo am I the only one who respects Zack and choosed Tifa? 😂😂
Aerith: "At least, not about anything important"
Zack: Am I a joke to you?
aka she move on
Five years is a long time to wait. Aerith had to move on 😞
Such a shame this is not the canon couple
It actually is in the original game, his first love interest was Aeirth
@@ewansmith4610but not in the remake so uncannon
@@KamusariHR what? The remake of the original
@@itsbeyondme5560 yes
@@KamusariHR aerith was cloud first girl
Good friends they are it hurted to see aerith die
She 💩
I chose Tifa because I couldn't be devastated again from when I was 12 watching that scene but now enhanced, more dramatic, and in 4k...nope.
