I have mentioned this before, I am not sure if it was this thread or over on the LTD thread (both are starting to blend together 
) but, I have always been deeply troubled with just how hard the OG game tried to pair Aerith with Cloud. To me it really doesn't make sense, logically and time wise.
At most Cloud only known Aerith for a few weeks. I know that the Devs wanted to push the LT because it was the most popular troupe of the 90's but it seems like this didn't age very well, (love triangle) just doesn't fit in today's society. A lot of people want closure. Not an open for player interpretation. Not to mention the fact that Aerith is going to die about mid game.
It is so unfair to Aerith as a character and honestly it offers nothing story-wise other than, Aerith was a girl that was in a love triangle with another women that was cut short because of her death. (I am talking specifically the love triangle ordeal not the overarching story) That Cloud might or might not of had feelings for. This is garbage! Aerith is so much more of character than to be reduced to a love interest of someone who doesn't even know who he is much less what he wants. I feel that a lot of people think that Aerith's happiness was stripped from her when she died.
To be honest. I for one am looking forward to the conclusion of the LTD once and for all. What do you guys think? Do you feel the same? Or am I alone in this thought.

I mean at this point in the Remake Cloud barley just meet her a few days ago. Yes they both had very special moments together even so, I honestly don't think that is enough time to have passed for them to develop a meaningful "lover" relationship. Life just doesn't work that way. I think this is the reason why the Devs have made Aerith more passive towards Cloud in the Remake. Maybe in part 2 the Devs will work on this, but even so she dies only weeks later. If we look at the time scale of the events in FF7.
Also, I think she knows that there is something going on between Tifa and Cloud. I feel it is literally written on their faces when they react to each other. I believe women, have a six sense when it comes to these type of things. Whether or not they choose to continue to pursue the person or not is up to that individual.
In direct contrast, the relationship between Cloud and Tifa stems from their childhood. Enough time has passed of them being together and apart from one another for deep feelings to develop. This is represented many times in the Remake with all the scenes that have Cloud and Tifa share together. This coupling seems to makes more logical sense than Aerith's and Clouds. I am not saying Tifa and Cloud have a perfect relationship. Far from it, but from a real life stand point it just makes more sense.
