What does Sephiroth have anything to with this? :lol:

Nah, I think most people with a kiss and a fade to black would be enough. This isn't a AV video or anything you know. :kiss:

Oh, Sephiroth doesn't. It's just every time I read Japanese comments on uploads of the HW scene, I can't seem to escape some lewd af dudes mentioning Cloud "sepirothing" Tifa under the HW. I guess, the imagery they have in their minds is of him swooping down on Aerith and impaling her w/ his long sword. :doh:

(Oh, oops, or it could also be because Cloud basically drove a sword in Sephiroth too.)

Do you think that Sephiroth is umh....How to say...compensating for something with that large Masamune Sword?

Even supposing that people in Wutai must look Asian since their architecture looks Asian, what about Tifa's appearance is Asian aside from her black hair? Are we meant to assume that every character with straight black hair is automatically from Wutai?

I dunno, it's a fantasy world. Assigning Earth races to them seems kind of racist to me.

Same. They look anime to me. Change the dub language and they look the same. Tifa isn't more or less anything with Ayumi or Britt's voice.

Hmm … I disagree some touches between CxA aren't intimate … some of them are very soft … and the non verbal stuff is there too like when Cloud and Aerith share a look after the Domino and Wedge stuff near the end :)

I agree with you! I'm pretty deep into the Cloti ship, but I wouldn't say there are no special moments between Cloud and Aerith. They have a special relationship and I don't think that should be ignored. Aerith means a lot to him (I might personally say not as much as Tifa, but that's my opinion) and Remake took time to specifically show that. I don't personally think Cloud has romantic feelings for Aerith, but he does have caring feelings for her, and protective feelings.

There are a lot of differences between the OG and the Remake especially when it comes to Tifa and Cloud relationship.

An example would be as follows:

I wonder in the future of the Remake, if they will show Cloud collapsed at the Section 7 train station Mako poisoned and out of his mind and just by happenstance Tifa walking by on that faithful day and saw Cloud sitting there. After not seeing him for 7 years (from her point of view) could you imagine what went through her mind at that point when she saw him? It probably would have broken her heart to see her childhood "Hero" in the condition he was in. I know that In the OG we find out much later that it was Tifa who found him and watched over him a bit so that he can somewhat recover.

However, in direct contrast and the curious thing about this is the way the Remake established things in CH3, when Cloud returned back from the first bombing. It seemed to us that was the first time they met in 5 years (from his point of view). Also, Tifa had an apartment already set up for him (next to hers btw) when he returned from the mission. The only real hint about how long it has been since they last meet was when Cloud gives TIfa the flower, and Tifa gave a verbal "huh" after Cloud says it has been 5 years.

I wonder how they are going to resolve this in the Remake?

@Graymouse I did wonder where she kept him all this time. Please tell me they're going to keep it the same..

Also potato quality photos incoming cuz I'm on my old phone.

In the main digest, the pic shows Cloud watching her while she blames herself for the plate falling. "It's all our fault." 20200520_160737.jpg

She's clearly distraught over people getting hurt. And in her Resolution scene, the text reads: She is unable to control her sadness while talking to Cloud.

As awkward as he was, he seriously helped her get through her sadness, at a moment she needed him most, so that she could find her resolve to continue her fight with Shinra and save Aerith. This guy's a keeper. If only he didn't have serious mental issues.

And the Aerith screencap is actually of her saying the, "It's frustrating, but I'm happy" line, not don't fall in love with me. I was mistaken.

The text under the first pic: Although she was captured by Shinra, Aerith somehow appears before him. She wants to tell him something, but...

So does this mean Aerith never actually went through with telling Cloud?

I mean, I could stand to see a bit more. :monster: Final Fantasy VII (and its remake) aren’t the sort of games where you’d expect that, though.

And just since I mentioned it earlier:


I don’t know how XenForo handles these embeds, but if you click on this, you should get a playlist that contains all my gameplay of this game so far. This is probably the most impressive of my films. Most of the longer ones should be pretty entertaining if you’re into watching ’90s-style FPS gameplay, though – I think “Swan Song” is the only one past about seven minutes in length that doesn’t have any combat. (Phoenix doesn’t actually originate from the ’90s, but the engine it’s built in does, and it’s made with ’90s-style graphics and gameplay, to the point where it wouldn’t have felt out of place if it had been released in, say, 1996.)

ETA: …lol nope, that would be too convenient. Here’s the playlist.

Maybe at Seventh Heaven? In one of the spare rooms perhaps?

I think that was after Cloud said that he was coming for her I could be wrong. My Japanese isn't 100% fluent.

I think the timeline has been changed a bit; at least it seems that way. Tifa mentions that Cloud probably needs to buy stuff because he didn't have anything on him, so I'm assuming she found him like a few days ago, max.

:monster: This is very reasonable and probably what happened. I guess it was just perfect timing that Tifa found him and the fact that Avalanche was about to do their first terrorist attack.

Which is a reference to what she says in Advent Children to Cloud in a vision:

Aerith: I never blamed you. Not once. You came for me. That's all that matters.

Yeah, I can see that. Although, in the remake she did reached out to everyone this time. Still doesn't change the context of the vision in AC.

Imagine if it's because Zack just dies a little later in the Remake and we all got faked out.

And like, Zack stays with Cloud an extra month and dies in Midgar and then Tifa finds a wandering Cloud.

(I think the term to be used here is head canon?) The only problem with that is if Zack and Cloud made it back to Midgar, I am sure as shit that he will search out Aerith. Perhaps after Zach told him that he was going to go look for girlfriend. That could have sparked Cloud to go find his Childhood friend in Sector 7. He got to the train station and just couldn't move afterwards. Then along comes Tifa. I guess problem solved? Yeah?

/speculation :aah:

Was it really established in OG that she found him and took care of him when he was still kinda out of himself ( I'm genuinely asking since I don't remember)?

What I remember to have read somewhere that what happened was that he wandered for some time (in that out of zone state he was) after Zack died until he meets Tifa again at the train station, she recognizes him, and due to this his fake persona kicks in or something like this, but tbh I think it was just someone's headcanon I read and thought to be true :sweatsmile:

But in Remake it's definitely hinted that they just met prior to the bombing mission since Tifa mention things related to that quite a few times.


This guy's a keeper. If only he didn't have serious mental issues.

For a few seconds I thought this quote was actually from the Ultimania and my mind went ????? :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy: (but tru tho!!)

Anyway, thanks a lot for the translations <3

I believe it wasn't directly said, but it was left open to interpretation. When we found out that Tifa was the one who found him.

I guess you would believe that Tifa would take care of him, at least until he was not in a comatose condition any more. It is not in Tifa's personality to leave any one in his condition sitting at the station, and this is especially true when she found out that it was Cloud.

Well there's a lot of time between when Tifa finds Cloud and when he goes on his first Avalanche mission.

>>General Consensus seems to be:
原作はもっとそんな描写多かったよ
今回は最初からクラウドとティファが接近してるから言うほどじゃなくね?

The original showed a lot of that. [Made more apparent by the fact that Cloud and Tifa weren't all that close in the beginning.] However, in the remake, Cloud and Tifa are getting closer/more intimate from the start.

So I guess they realize it got toned down/removed. Also mentioned was the scene where Jessie got injured and Cloud lifted her up and carried her in his arms. Tifa was more concerned about Jessie's well-being than the fact that Cloud was concerned about another girl. She's freaking sweet!

Just saying that they're all talking and discussing about the same stuff we do here, except now that I've been around YT enough, I believe most people agree High Affection HW scene is the real one, and are disappointed that there won't be more than a kiss between them due to ratings/censorship.

Hopefully, there are a lot less Japanese fans that try to downplay Tifa as being just a friend for Cloud that Cloud was never once into.

I ran across one of those on Twitch today and he deliberately tried to misquote things and anytime I showed him official statements and corrected him, he'd ignore it and then went straight for Ad Hominems and then ran away.

Ah, Sure! If she did found him when he was still out of himself I'm pretty sure she would have tended him. But it's exactly that part that I'm not so sure? Did she found him when he was still in his 'bad state' or meeting her was what made his fake persona to kinda 'activate'?

For the matter, this is what I found in Cloud's wiki page ( didn't check their sources tho, so idk it can be trusted):

Tifa ran into Cloud at the Sector 7 slums train station, finding him mumbling deliriously and being attended by a confused station worker. Though he became lucid upon recognizing her, his inconsistent memories, bouts of blackouts and head pains concern her, especially since once he recovers from these bouts he has no idea they'd happened. Now a member of the anti-Shinra terrorist group Avalanche, Tifa requested Cloud join the cell she belongs to so she can secretly keep an eye on his condition.

Well there's a lot of time between when Tifa finds Cloud and when he goes on his first Avalanche mission.

Do you mean in the Remake? If so, I believe it didn't take that long for the moment they met to when Cloud goes to his first mission since, once he comes back, Tifa finds a place for him to stay and talks about how he came to there with nothing, so it seems to be a recent event. He didn't even know where she lived in the first place and Barret also mentions Seventh Heaven as "you know? The place Tifa works!" so he doesn't seem to be familiar with SH either.

How long has Cloud been wearing the same underwear? That's unhygienic! Why would Jessie even want to ride this guy?! And why doesn't TLS have a disgusted face emote?!

Maybe Cloud should "kill for a shower". Why not Cloud and Tifa shower together? You know two birds with one stone. :pervert:

There is definitely a scene in the OG where Tifa finds a mumbling Cloud at the train station. I think its during The Lifestream sequence? Might be at Northern Crater.

I think you are correct with the Northern Crater flashback. That is where I remember seeing it. I just couldn't put my finger on it.
