Imma go with Cloti. I've always liked how they took a cliche type of pairing and did it in a non-cliche way.
Aaaand it's Cloti versus Zarnet in the final.
I agree with your assessment on these couples and Cloud's characterization wholeheartedly. I also like the dynamics behind Cloud/Tifa's relationship, but I've gotten a little tired of seeing Cloud's angst in the Compilation. He seems to have gotten past it post-ACC; which I'm glad of, because it's one of the few things I like about DoC, but I can honestly do without seeing another Compilation entry with his angst.Sorry Cloti, you may be one of the series' deepest-written couples, but Steiner/Beatrix is just way more hilarious and heartwarming than you. I have to confess, though, that if the Compilation didn't exist this might've been a somewhat more difficult choice, but the constant Flanderisation of Cloud has kind of soured me on the character a bit.
