I don’t really see it as a side quest, seeing as the main character’s identity crisis includes his feelings for a girl.If there is ever made to be canon ships for the LTD, imo that would weaken the overall story and experience. That to me is why there are options for other characters to date. I say this because at the end of the day, it's a side quest. Who ends up with who isn't the main point of FFVII, and imo it shouldn't be.
The story, imo, works whether or not anyone has romantic feelings for anyone else.
I've now heard both Cleriths and Clotis insist that their ship is canon and the other side just "doesn't care about FFVII or its characters" and honestly that attitude, from both sides, is getting really bothersome.
Not to mention, does whether or not the ship is canon really matter that much to your ship? I'm sure the validation would always be really nice, but you can still enjoy your ship all you want either way.
One discussion I'd love to have more of is the potential validity of Aerti or Clarret. Let's give love to the gay ships just as much as the straight ones I say!
All the novels also specifically bring in the nature of Cloud and Tifa’s feelings/relationship.
There are several themes in the game, and I think one of them is definitely love.
