Have you seen Meibito? :monster:

Haha that girl :D

Just saying, did you know my screencap of Cloud holding Tifa's hand I posted last page cause a shipped war in Tumblr? Right after I posted it someone posted a anti-Cloti sentiment against my post in the Cloti tag. What happens after is what you expect XD

I posted this in Tumblr:

How Cloud keeps his promise to Tifa (or moments he tried to)

A Promise to Tifa, Etched in his Memory.
When Cloud left the village dreaming of being a SOLDIER, he swore to Tifa that he would come running to her rescue if she was in trouble. While it was Tifa who strong-armed him into making the promise, it seems that the idea that he must keep this vow was forever in Cloud’s mind.

How serious was Cloud when he made a promise to Tifa? Let’s find out!

Before the promise:

When they were children, Cloud followed Tifa to the deadly paths of Mt. Nibel when all of her friends had backed out in trying to save her. He failed and they both feel from the bridge. Tifa went comatose for days.

AFTER the promise:
1. Cloud joins AVALANCHE at her request.
On the request of his childhood friend Tifa, Cloud assists the anti-ShinRa organization “AVALANCHE” led by Barret

2. Cloud dressed up as a woman to “save” Tifa from Don Corneo

3. In Crisis Core, Cloud protected Tifa from monsters outside the reactor. He was hurt and had to use Tifa as his human crutch on the way to Nibelheim.

tumblr_md9ej2W0P01r1am60.jpg

4. Despite the epic mental confusion that Cloud wasn’t in the Nibelheim incident, he was actually there for Tifa and defeated Sephiroth. This scene was featured in four versions: the original, Before Crisis, Last Order and Crisis Core.

tumblr_md9duyhMqO1r1am60.jpg


5. In the ending of FFVII, Tifa never left Cloud and the ground she was standing on collapsed. Cloud caught her and kept her from falling.

tumblr_md9f7aXRlh1r1am60.png


6. A short, two-second scene in the ending has Cloud holding Tifa’s hand to keep her from flying away when the crater exploded.

tumblr_md9dsyLAbL1r1am60.png


7.In AC, Cloud was late to protect Tifa from Loz.
tumblr_md9haqxmfz1r1am60.gif


8. In ACC, Cloud saves Tifa from being crushed by the debris.

(can anyone give me a GIF of this)

Others:

1.In Kingdom Hearts II (non FFVII canon,) Cloud fights Sephiroth to protect Tifa.
tumblr_md9emuqGPG1r1am60.jpg

2. In Ergheiz (non-canon,) you can only fight Tifa if you were able to defeat Cloud under certain conditions. Tifa’s title is “summoner” and Cloud is “guardian.” Go figure. Note that FFX was already out when this was released.
tumblr_md9gdf5Mnf1r1am60.jpg

tumblr_md9gfapdz11r1am60.jpg

3. In Dissidia 012 (canon,) Cloud protects Tifa from Sephiroth.
tumblr_md9epqlc2u1r1am60.gif

4. Again in Dissidia 012 Cloud fought Chaos alone to end the war for her. He pleads to Cosmos to save her before he dies.

So Cloud was THAT serious XD Note that if you read the kanji (Japanese character) of “promised etched in his memory (胸) ” it’s actually a character for “chest/heart.” The promise is in Cloud’s heart. :)

OMG OMG OMG

I just discovered that the secret Cloti scene I discovered might be canon after all:
tumblr_mcww7kx0ia1r1am60.jpg


Because it's the same one featured in the Ultimania in RedXIII's profile:

tumblr_mdd7bxjvez1r1am60.jpg



XD I'll make another giant Cloti post later, it seems that the Ultimania and Reminiscene always put Tifa with Cloud. ALWAYS. Will post that later~

Found a GIF of that:

:awesome:

You know what I just realized for the first time ever?

How does Tifa get behind him? That's the arm that is holding his sword. How did she get around it? Flip up underneath his arm or some such?

IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE :rage:

It looks to me that Tifa grabbed his arm then climbed up to the motorcycle :awesome:

NOW SOMEONE NOMINATE ME AS THE BIGGEST CLOTI WONK NOW:

Tifa always by Cloud’s side (in the Ultimania and Reminiscence)

tumblr_mddpvfSHgS1r1am60.jpg
There are many dimensions to Tifa’s character. She’s like a mother, a sweetheart [koibito], and a close ally in battle“:
Advent Children Reunion Files book (pg. 19)~ Nomura
In the Ultimania pictures and in the DVD feature, Tifa’s always in Cloud’s party even if different sources put another team member with Cloud. I’ve put the links for you to check the sources themselves, in any case, the Ultimanias are sold and you are free to buy them.
Though I don’t think this is definitive in determining canon, it gives a good hint of things. it’s quite odd if Square Enix just put Tifa in almost all pictures* where Cloud leads his party. The following pictures where taken from various parts of the Final Fantasy VII 10th Anniversary Ultimania and the other ones in the Reminiscence of Final Fantasy VII, a bonus DVD feature of Advent Children that summarizes the events of the original game
*The only picture in the Ultimania where Tifa isn’t present is the Cave of the Gi, Aerith was pictured instead with Red XIII. In the Wutai Pagoda, the other party member is not seen because of the text bubble.

At the Gold Saucer, he falsely establishes himself as a fortune telling machine; “How ’bout it? Want me to read your fortune!?” he says, strong-arming his way close to Cloud.

When Cloud and company visit the ShinRa Manor and catch Vincent up on the current affairs, he chose to join the group to meet up with Hojo and Sephiroth.

Note that even if the two versions of the scene had different party members, Tifa is still there.
Recruiting Cid

Cid had also began to grow tired of his life in Rocket Town, and he joins with Cloud’s group who had just stolen the Tiny Bronco.

He has sympathy for Cloud and co.’s ideas, and since substitute bodies were available, he decided to sacrifice himself to help his friends.

So if we take the pictures as canon proofz then Tifa getting jealous at Cait Sith’s prediction of Cloud and Aerith’s future actually happened.

This scene is special, if you chose another party member other than Tifa, he/she would be seated opposite Cloud and won’t be close to him. See the details of the scene here: Secret Cloti Scene.

Fighting Sephiroth at the planet’s core
tumblr_mddl3wVPwQ1r1am60.png

(From Reminiscence)
Courtesy of my friend's notes, it’s observable that the three Remnants of Sephiroth, Loz, Yazoo and Kadaj bore resemblance to Tifa, Vincent and Cloud fighting style-wise. It’s stated that the Remnants were born from the battle with Sephiroth. So even if it’s not definitive, it’s hinted that this is the canon party.
~FIN
Watch Reminiscence of Final Fantasy VII here.
Lastly, if Tifa was indeed in Cloud’s party all the time, then her touching reaction to Aerith’s death could be canon. She caresses Aerith’s face and runs off crying. ;_;
