Honestly, I don't know how this LTD still exists, especially since we already know the end of the story.
If Square Enix intended for Cloud and Aerith to be the official couple of FF7, neither Zack nor Tifa would exist.
They wouldn't spend so much time developing Zack and Tifa, only to have them end up heartbroken in the end.
Do people forget they're playing a Final Fantasy? The developers want their main characters to have a happy ending after all the trials they face.
There are moments between Cloud and Aerith that may seem romantic if you look at the scene individually, but considering the context of the story, it's clear that Aerith is actually searching for someone else.
The developers made it clear in Rebirth that Cloud and Tifa's feelings are mutual.
Not even the most optimistic Cloti thought they would kiss so soon.
And Zack's entire motivation in the story is to reunite with Aerith.
It's simply impossible for this story to be what the Cleriths want it to be.
But for me, Rebirth has a problem, the developers weren't clear enough about Aerith's feelings for Cloud.
It's as if they wanted to make the player think: Is Aerith using Cloud as a substitute for Zack? Or does she have true feelings for him?
This mystery is completely unnecessary, it only exists to not alienate the Cleriths.
Honestly, the only way for Cloud and Aerith to be together is in an alternate reality where Tifa and Zack don't exist.
But I highly doubt the developers would make such a cowardly narrative decision.
