Thanks for the upload! It’s great, thank you thank you thank you!
I really love Tifa, that being because her decisions on situations are very much like mine. Perhaps, my personality is slightly matched with hers.
I have to give thanks to SquareEnix for doing this for us too!
We got to see a side of Cloud we’d never saw in FF7 although we know it’s there.
I love FF7, it was a pleasant fantasy I can easily base my life on if met with any fork roads.
once again, thanks for this upload!

Cloud acting like a child should be expected, though. I don’t think anyone really realizes that mentally he’s probably still stuck at 16 since that’s how old he was when Hojo had him and Zack in the labs. Four years of important development and maturity were gone for him, and he was pretty much forced to grow up.

I don’t blame Tifa for feeling that way.

Looks like someone missed the point. If the story makes it seem like C/T are a couple then just maybe that is exactly what it is trying to tell you.

“What did you guys think?”

I think you have taken away every single motivation Cloud has and replaced it with “Aerith”.

That is what we call “shipper nonsense”.

haha i agree..cloud is so much hotter. but both of them are really endearing in different ways…zack is obviously more open and friendly and easygoing and cloud is really cute because of his shyness
haha also i saw this on the final fantasy wiki: “The original depiction of Cloud and Tifa’s “moment” under the Highwind before their final battle against Sephiroth were originally far more suggestive: following a fade-out scene, Cloud was to walk out of the airship’s Chocobo stable followed shortly by Tifa who would check around as she left, implying that the two had spent the night together. This idea was rejected for being too “extreme”, and the less risque “conversation scene” replaced it.”

i just wanted to ask, is it just me or is it kind of hard imagining cloud and tifa gettin it on in the chocobo stable of the highwind while everyone else is also on the airship? it’s so funny to me…like they just stopped by for quickies or something. i always imagine them two being together in more tender scenes with the right mood haa

Thanks for translating!!!

I’m just in the process of replaying ff7 since I played it 13 years ago when I was half the age I am now, and after reading numerous interviews by the makers and watching the movie, I have to admit that I sincerely believe that from the beginning Cloud’s love interest was supposed to be Aerith’s. I’ve tried to find sources that would persuade me otherwise and that’s why I wanted to read this so badly and while reading it from Tifa’s point of view, it really seems that Cloud is trying hard to let go of his past and create a new life with Tifa, however if you take the movie into account and the fact that the script writer Kazushige Nojima described her role in the film as “very much like any woman who’s been left behind by a man.”

Also it seems he never really gotten over Aerith’s death, seeming how when he’s suffering from geostigma and knows he’s going to die he moves into Aerith’s church instead of spending what time he has left with Tifa, Denzel and Marlene. Also the end of the movie I thought that he would return to Tifa and really form a family, instead of that we see that Cloud has come to realize that while Aerith is dead, her consciousness is still alive and seeing how she waits for him in the flower fields and if you take into account the numerous pictures of those flower fields on his desk, it seems to me that instead of focusing on forming a life with Tifa and the children, he has become obsessed with meeting Aerith’s consciousness in the flower field…

What did you guys think?

Well… I wouldn’t call Zack cuter or hotter, I’d call him an all-round nicer guy. He’d be the better guy out of him and Cloud to marry and all. But Cloud’s got WAY more sex appeal. Who could resist marrying Zack, but who could resist spending a night in a bedroom with Cloud given the chance? XD Cloud’s cool and totally sexy but he’d be no good with marriage or anything, he’s no good with feelings and emotional stuff ^_^;; THAT’S the difference between them.

Cloud really is in love with Tifa – there is a particular reason why he kept thinking of Aerith (and Zack, which is worth noting). He was tormented by his perceived failure to save Aerith and Zack, both of whom were killed right in front of him. He especially thinks about Aerith because he is tormented by the notion that her death was all his fault. He doesn’t keep thinking about her because he is in love with her – he is overcome with immense guilt about her death, as well as Zack’s. He was beseeching her for forgiveness, and wanted it so badly as if he had continued to burden himself with such guilt, he wouldn’t have been able to get on with his life with Tifa and their kids.

Overall, Cloud’s relationship with Tifa is so much more personal, so much more meaningful to him as an individual. He’s constantly striving to prove his worth to her because it’s obvious that her opinion matters more to him than anyone else’s – and he wants to improve himself for her, he always has. As if he needs any more improving at all in Tifa’s eyes lol

I think the simplest way to put it is, Cloud loved Aerith but he is IN LOVE with Tifa, as is best demonstrated between them physically as opposed to with words – after all, Tifa put it really well in the game (and I quote): “Cloud, words aren’t the only way to tell people what you’re thinking…” *giggle*
