You know what's funny about this... it's that it's true, but at the same time, you need to take this a step further. Aerith in OG asks them both, they deny it and she pursues Cloud and they fall in love. Tifa "watches" this happen according to the Ultimania. But let's pretend you want to deny that happened... Well, in Remake, Aerith knows everything. She asks only to go through the motions. She pursues Cloud regardless... Think about it.. Why would she do this? Now, if it were true that Cloud and Tifa were canonically a couple in OG; why would the Whispers or Aerith care about any of this? Why would she need to go through the motions at all? Why wouldn't she just leave Cloud alone -- especially if she loves Zack, supposedly? Notice how none of it makes any sense?

I hate her. Don't want someone as her as my BF. She knows Tifa loves cloud and is flirting with him non stop. she is such a red flag.

Comparing the two romantic paths in FF7. CA route with CA interpretation - Cloud and Aerith date - Cloud and Tifa discuss their misunderstanding, Cloud apologises - Cloud thinks Aerith likes Zack - Cloud is almost kissed by Tifa whilst he's confused - CA go on more dates - Aerith sings a song about Cloud - Aerith confesses that she wants Cloud, not Zack - Marlene states to Zack that Aerith likes Cloud - CA go on a dream date, holding hands (different Aerith but assumed same feelings) - Cloud confirms he likes Aerith (wants to go on more dates) - Aerith reverts backs to shielding her true feelings to protect Cloud - CA end the game hand in hand and flirting about a previous encounter. VS. CT route with CT interpretation - Cloud and Aerith date - Cloud and Tifa discuss their misunderstanding, Cloud apologises - Cloud thinks Aerith likes Zack - Cloud and Tifa almost kiss - Aerith sings a song about anything BUT Cloud whilst Tifa and Cloud hold hands - Cloud still believes Aerith has feelings for Zack - Tifa and Cloud kiss - Marlene states to Zack that Aerith likes Cloud - CA go on a dream date, holding hands (different Aerith but assumed same feelings) - Cloud confirms that he sees CA as friends - Aerith isn't sure about her feelings - CA end the game hand in hand and flirting about a previous encounter. Both fun romances, but which do you think is more likely the intended path?

Apparently I’m still on a Clerith high, so here we are again😂 It's about the theory that at the end, Cloud will reach out and pull Aerith into his world... Halfway through I got this déjà vu and then… wait it's basically the train graveyard scene in Remake???

They don’t even bother to stop and think Tifa herself doesn’t want this ending for herself. Why do they want her to be chained down and miserable so much? Why am I, a hater, cares more about her dialogues than these so called fans? :/

鳥山さんの言う「シナリオ側で誘導したいキャラクターの感情とズレ」がティファとのデートを指しているかどうかは、インタビューに書かれていること以上は私は判断していません。
なぜなら実際クラエアの人が「クラティのキスは公式が誘導したいキャラクターの感情とズレると言っている!」と言ってるのを何度も見てきたからです もしnanriさんがそのお考えでなかったなら代表のように引用してしまってすみません

Everyone thought he was fine except for Aerith. 🚬🤫
It's funny how the game flows so well if you go down the Clerith route.

Tifa fans have been spreading fake information since 1997.
PSA: If you see this transcript going around, just letting you know this is FAKE. This is not what's said in Japanese or English. The "transcript" was initially put out on the web before release. Where the errors are is also pretty funny (and telling of motive). (FAKE)

Me: "I want Cloud to be happy..." Cloti: "No!"
It’s genuinely impressive to me how you guys make everything that Tifa does to be negative. Like she can do nothing right in your eyes my god

When I saw Advent Children for the first time in 2005, I had no idea why it had to be so bleak and why everyone in that world, including Cloud, had to be miserable. 20 years later, I can't understand why fans seem to desperately return to that world rather than a better one?
Replying to @therantindave
Yes, in the end there is hope. But getting there required so much misery and despair Cloud had nearly succumb to Geostigma. Why overlook the years getting to this point? Moreover, much of the population is still stricken with Geostigma. Jenova and Sephiroth still exist. Misery and despair is still rampant in this dystopian nightmare for countless people. Again, why would anyone ~want~ this?

Not sure how I feel about this.... Tons of homages, etc... hmm.
FF7 Revelation Director Hamaguchi says the final Sephiroth battle will include Cloud’s OG final Omnislash limit break and will be “a very extravagant, all-out battle that will far and above surpass what was in Remake and Rebirth in what I believe will be a very satisfying encounter.“ He goes on to say that "we are putting in plenty of homages to the original, including to things like [that limit break]. We have crammed it full of everything that we can.” 👀

その「数々の公式本」の中で例えば野島さんの『On the Way to a Smile』には、エアリスにとってクラウドは「友人であり、恋人であり」守るべき存在だったと書かれています。同じ書き手が両方のヒロインとクラウドの描写を描いている以上、どちらか一方だけ成立にはなりません。
それストーリー上の大きな変化は選べないって言ってるしそもそも原作の段階で本物のクラウドが登場してからヒロイン選べなかったろ しかも数々の公式本や続編のACとその小説などでクラウドとティファが想いを通い合わせたと記述されてる段階で誰も決めてないは無理がありすぎる

It's crazy to me this is even being debated after Hamaguchi's comments. Like, these people are just shamelessly lying at this point.
Replying to @JediJenna @Ashtian0
Jenna, this is just pure gaslighting and lies. It's been confirmed by multiple sources: the director, the mo-cap actor, even in-game. "Gui gui" and "chotto oneesan" describes a girl LIKE AERITH. Period. If you wanna have an opinion that's one thing, but I'm not gonna let you lie.

A bit off-topic for my account, but for those that don't know, I used to play poker for years and in a big way. I came across this video, watched it twice, and I can't find anything wrong with what happened? Someone asking if you want action happens a lot... nothing said binds them to an action. Are people saying this is bad poker etiquette? youtube.com/shorts/5z3lsvjNQ…

It looks like the Republican establishment and their billionaire backers are beginning to panic about Angie Nixon. And they should. She pulled off a huge upset in winning the Democratic primary and she’s going to do it again in the general election. Go Angie!

Real FF7 fans that actually know the lore are still waiting for an answer 😂👑
His heart is described as being closed-off in the Ultimania. He loves Marlene, but he can't answer that he loves Tifa ... repeatedly ... Why? Because the nature of the question and the kind of love isn't a mystery to either Tifa or Cloud, and yet the answer is neither affirmative or forthcoming. Why?

Why would anyone want this for Cloud or Tifa?
Its just such a miserable situation... After 30 years, I really just want Cloud to be happy and clearly this isn't it.
