Also I want everyone to imagine Cloud and Tifa in a Friends With Benefits relationship.

Neither will admit that they're in love with each other but like they kiss and have sex sometimes.

They're both too shy to utter "I love you" and make it official though.

Twitter is evil and I will have no part of it
Don't I know it.
I have a facebook and a Patreon too. :sadpanda:


@Final_Heaven you can edit your posts to add more content, doubleposting in short intervals is bad forum etiquette.

About your question, I stand by what I said. If, for the argument's sake, Cloud landed himself a girlfriend, Tifa would be devastated and would grieve their potential relationship, like a break-up. But after some time, she'll continue with her life and business as usual. She's a big girl and she could handle it.
Cloud, on the other hand... he couldn't stand it. He would probaby leave, never to be seen again.

You're actually trying to use them to make money though, that's different. I have no such aspirations, so I've avoided social media like the plague. This forum is the only place I'm really active.

I feel like that's kind of a shallow view on these characters IMO. This is why I don't like shipping, it makes people view characters too heavily by their relationships, like nothing else matters to them. Cloud might get jealous, but I don't think he's such a petty asshole that he'd ditch Tifa forever if she got a boyfriend. I don't think he's so shallow. Whether Tifa would gracefully enter Cloud's "spurned women's club" or not, I'm not sure. I don't want to think of her as someone who would be devastated by rejection, especially from a guy she just reunited with after 7 years.

Right, "trying" is the word here, yeah. I avoided using twitter until this month and I don't like it much tbh, and I only used facebook to connect with family and old Uni acquitances, and sparsely.
Anyway, you missed my post in the Tifa & Aerith thread then, because I posted a link there. If you use the forums that much, you can always follow my activity here, it seems Xenforo lets you follow users as well.

I have a lot of trouble imagining Cloud ever finding himself a girlfriend who isn't Tifa, tbh, thus the proposition of Cloud-Tifa platonic life partners doesn't work for me.
I mean, two other women were throwing themselves at him too.

Well, there was an interesting announcement under that tweet. It's official, I'm working on a AerTi fanbook!

Yeah, but he wasn't exactly reciprocating. Because they aren't Tifa and he doesn't know what to do and those women doesn't know why he is so awkward. And even if they don't mind his awkwardness, he does. That's what I meant when I said "someone that really, really, gets him".

If that scene in the lifestream taught us anything, is that the only thing on his brain is Tifa.

I think it's more that Cloud wouldn't be interested in grabbing a different gf post-Lifestream Sequence when Tifa's right there

Like, if he wants romance, I find it hard to believe that he'd look for someone else when Tifa's ready and willing.

Some people like to think that and I find it in poor taste. Tifa isn't a novelty item for Cloud and he wouldn't leave her side to chase skirts (leather or non-leather ones) like a frat boy in his spring break.

Cloud is a sad dumb boy who has put all his life ambitions into impressing a girl. I can't imagine any normal girl being able to handle his weird baggage, even if it was another Aerith/Jessie type.

Though the idea of creating a new love interest who fan girls his "earned" heroic persona would definitely be an interesting angle if someone was able to tackle it well.

He might guiltily think of Aerith every now and again when he and Tifa are having boring marital sex, but even then it'd probably send him down a guilt-ridden, existential spiral.

See, that's where I disagree with (seemingly) half the fandom or so. I think sex with a martial artist is going to be everything but boring, even going by things like her flexibility and stamina alone. She's going to ride him like a chocobo.
And Cloud is dumb. That is known. But he can learn... or at least, Tifa seems able to teach him. So I dunno, they're oddly compatible even if they're very vanilla.
Vanilla doesn't mean boring, anyway. It irks me when I see lots of fanarts of them in missionary position. What the hell? Why aren't Tifa's feet on both's sides of Cloud's head? Do people know what passionate vanilla sex does look like?
Do people have sex at all nowadays?


Oh sorry, I didn't see that! Sound's like it will be fun, good luck!
Thank you! It will be fun! At least, Aerith is going to have lots of fun, I tell you. :awesome:

I dunno, the idea that they're destined lovers kinda bothers me, even though that's obviously sort of where they end up.

To be honest, I had a hard time seeing them together when the Compilation was rolling out so I entertained myself with crackships (Tifa and Zack was my favourite pairing during that time out of sheer wackiness, I still have some stories to do with them).
But now, with all the skinship Tifa and Cloud are having in the Remake, it feels natural. For me, it will be weird if they don't have sex in the Remake, because the sexual tension is clearly there. So by the moment there is a exchange of feelings between them, they're going to exchange fluids too. :monster:

It's funny because I deleted the post you're responding too. You're probably right, but for the moment I still have trouble imagining the poor dolt doing the do. Jessie giving him a little peck on the cheek was enough to make him go catatonic, right now I feel like it'd be a stupid comedy show and Cloud would actually pass out the second Tifa took off her shirt.

@Odysseus I didn't realize you deleted it, now I sound like a raving lunatic D:<

But you're right, he's so lost and confused all the time that anything more than a hug is a pipe dream right now. If he saw Tifa's boobs he'd pass out lol

I'm the same, mainly because their story has been created with endgame canon intent. Unless that intent changes, it's like arguing against windmills, and I'm no Don Quixote honestly.

At this point, we have to remember that Cloud and Tifa have been in love/crushing hard on each other for 7 years, and that time and distance did not diminish those feelings, only strengthened them. If those 7 years, many of which were completely chaotic did not stop those feelings from being, then what will? It's the purpose of the Lifestream scene, to show that they are still there, that despite everything, those feelings are shared and mutual.

I saw a clerith wondering with whom she could pair Tifa up and I was shaking my head, she even went as far as saying "well if Zack were alive maybe" while missing the elephant in the room that if Zack were alive, that wouldn't be for Tifa lol. But that shows that really, while you can think that Tifa would settle down, in fact, she wouldn't because, who's on par with her own hero who's just a broken grunt, really?

Playing devils advocate, if Zack lived and both Cloud and Zack made it safely to Midgar, I don't think there would be an Aerith X Cloud at all

Well, I might be a bit cynical, that media has hurt me too many times, but this is also one thing I have a nagging fear about.

I am afraid that this whole multiple timeline business is once again a way to try and placate everyone. We have the OG timeline where Cloti happens.
Then we have a timeline where Zack survives (and obviously Zack/Aerith, Cloud/Tifa happens), and then we have the remake timeline where Cloud/Aerith happens.

That really would be my worst case scenario. Which is why I almost assume it will happen XD

I believe this will most likely happen due to AC:C and other works that happened post FF7. In my mind I don't think that they would throw away AC:C and DoC, just for the sake of having Aerith and Cloud together.


They'd simply say that it was still valid, still happened, and might still be the canon thing that happens in another timeline that still exists.


I hate that concept, I think multiple timelines makes things meaningless, but I wouldn't put it past them just yet.

I'm sure they have a decent amount of experimental wild fun sex.

But anyone in a long term relationship, or has sex regularly has that... default sex that's just there to functions for rubbing one out, ya know?

No doubt Cloud/Tifa fuck in the way I can only imagine two professional wrestlers are able to perform. They definitely also have boring fucks as well.

My s/o is so disappointed in me taking the time to talk about this rn :sadpanda:

(actually he says he's indifferent, I am disappointed in myself :'( )

I just wanna share his take cus it's funny: amy schumer broke up with dolph ziggler because the sex was too athletic, point proven

(idk what that has to do with anything but it made me laugh so it's there)

Agreed, not to mention how much they've been desiring each other and for how long.
If you spend that much time bottling up your desire for someone, and then get to unleash it.....it's never boring. When I think of Tifa and Cloud having sex, the term "like animals" is the first thing that comes to mind.

Preparing for the worst, hmm?
In going to be honest: I don't see any of that happening, endgame will stay the same. Devs are crazy but not THAT crazy.
So Cloud will go on a date with Aerith and possibly Tifa and Barret and maybe Yuffie, Aerith will die, Tifa will be scared and unwilling to confront Cloud about his inconsistencies, Cloud will lost it, Cloud and Tifa will meet each other in the lifestream with some help from Aerith, and they will make out for every Highwind crew member to see.

For what is worth, I've been right about every OTP prediction I've ever made, even predictions of ships that seemed to come out of left field like Korrasami in A:TLK (at some point their interactions were the only ones I could watch without getting the urge to hit my head repeatly against a wall).
Maybe because I don't really care about romance and I simply follow the narrative flow of the stories, idk.
