It’s still love. And considering they are both involved in a love triangle, I think it’s a pretty powerful statement from PlayStation Japan to represent these two together in this manner.

Just to keep stirring the love triangle debate further, PlayStation Japan and China tweeted Cloud x Tifa. In PS Japan, they tweeted the theme of #love across various PS4 games with FFVIIR having Cloud and Tifa’s resolution scene.

So the song “Hollow” seems to reference Cloud and Zack. Makes sense. It was the song played up right at the end during “that” cutscene.

In the OG game, he was apparently none the wiser in regards to both of the ladies. It’s true that Cloud can be clueless in such matters.

I actually wasn’t lol. I don’t know how that got there, must have been a mistake.

Depends. If your primary goal Don’t forget Chocobo Sam. Cloud is all like hey buddy watch yourself attitude when Sam gushes about Tifa’s physique.

Never said Aerith’s scene didn’t fit perfectly. It was in response to the assertion that Tifa’s scene isn’t as “canon” as Aerith’s which I proceeded to point out that isn’t true. They both fit narratively depending on the perspective of the player.

That, and it’s also fitting because of the loss Tifa and the Avalanche crew just suffered. It hits home the emotions they are feeling at that moment due to their homes just being destroyed (again) and the losses they have suffered (again). Narratively it fits just perfect.

Agreed. The way he ended up holding her really tight, letting all his reservations and showing his true self, was pretty romantic to me. That’s how their romance works, showing each other their emotions “without words”.

I heard Cody Christian prefers Tifa too when asked that question in an interview. I can’t find it though. And the Japanese to English translation is rearing it’s head again in the love triangle debates again lol.

Exactly. When taking everything into account, I just have a hard time seeing Cloud and Aerith that way for the reasons you mentioned. Cloud X Aerith in a vacuum works fine, romantic even in a tragic sense. However when looking at everything together, it doesn’t hold up imo for many reasons...

That said, their is also a strong preference for Tifa too because of her role in the story and her connection to Cloud which cannot be understated. When the game came out, I remember Clerith to be the more popular ship by quite a significant amount but as more discussion and discourse happened...

There is a US gamer article that just came out and talks about the love triangle and how the devs are trying to make their interactions more balanced. https://www.usgamer.net/articles/final-fantasy-7-remake-developers-interview-feature-tifa-aerith-cloud-romance

Eh I don’t know about that. The other team is looking very strong.

And here you were saying not much going on. Sexual tension is always appreciated.
