Aerith dies because of plot / planet. Devs who've been hit with all the "please bring her back to have a happy ending with Cloud please please please" aren't caving to the core themes of the story - that loss is permanent - are looking for a happy medium for her to have a satisfactory closure...

I always thought that The scene where if you get Aerith's date the first time in the Gold Saucer was to solidify Cloud's character as being pretty innocently oblivious to even aggressive flirtations with a tendency to dismiss it as friendship and Aerith getting huffy about it, I took it as her...

LOL! Same. It's great that a piece of medium generates so much interest / discussions about what each woman means to Cloud and long, long write ups can be dedicated to either woman, but I've always followed the more, uh, simple and scientific approach i.e. For a statement to be true, there has...

I don't get how...the "fault" is Cloud's? Like, why is he's forced to hold up his end of the relationship stick when he...just doesn't want to ? If someone irl was interested me, pursues me aggressively, insinuates every interaction was romantic despite me protesting, forces me for a date, I...

People see what they want to see, and they can be incredibly short sighted and/or new to the series without looking at what the whole compilation intends to say. Fantasies =/= fact. Post Remake people were saying a) Tifa would die because Sephiroth stabbed her in the Shinra VR and she would...

Clotis very happy / feel vindicated / mocking Clerith takes / reposting all the media articles that covered it / hanging on the word "INTENTIONAL" A small Clerith section hanging on tight to the OTHER word Hamaguchi used - "in a branching event that had Cloud hug Tifa in Remake..." -...

I don't really see it but think alot of people draw parallels between Leslie and Evan with Cloud? Leslie = reunion flower, looking for, not giving up on, reuniting with someone you love, Tifa's quest line etc Evan = Adopting a kid with Kyrie, Cloud essentially saying his situation is the same...

1) Verbal acknowledgement from Cloud that he actually does love Tifa. It might seem a given at this point, that he does bear romantic feelings for her, but just let the player hear this once and for all, I'm tired of the goal posts being moved for Cloud/Tifa year after year. I know they'll...

Is weird cos Zidane and Tidus do the "ladies man" schtick aka flirt, hit on other women, put on Casanova act but shown to want to emotionally support / be protective of only the main love interest but no one writes essays about that shit

I don't entirely trust streamer women to be open with their relationships, because their fanbase can be...kinda deranged?

Zack is golden retriever boyfriend Cloud is "I can change him"

I think there are many ways to work around the "words are not the only way" but still have a firm acknowledgement of Cloud's feelings, that are plot relevant and true to character Some off the top of head examples: - Squall monologue when Rinoa is comatose that he's already fallen for her, but...

Dissidia is weird in that the Cloud characterisation is still the AC one where he's all emo and mopey, so don't expect too much there. And after he takes on Sephiroth to protect Tifa, he's like "I'll go take on Chaos to stop this whole cycle of war from repeating itself, so Tifa can be he...

I guess if we want to be charitable to Cloud he does help her rebuild her bar so she has some semblance of normal life. It is implied that if she's ever in trouble , he'd still rush to her rescue. If you take the expanded compilation i.e. Dissidia he'd still do stupid things like take on a God...

I've always said if Tifa was a real life girlfriend of mine at the peak of AC, I'd take her out to a nice restaurant, open a bottle of wine and be "baby girl, I know you and him have so much history, but you're beautiful and hot and strong can do so much better than this guy who clearly has...
