Well, my point is whether or not the Aerith date is canon or default, it does not matter. The only thing it proves is that the date happened/did not happen. That's it. This default =/= canon discussion means nothing for the LTD, because even if the date was deemed canon, all that happened there is Aerith saying she wants to meet Cloud, which proves Aerith likes Cloud (LIKE WE DIDNT ALREADY KNOW), but does not prove Cloud loves Aerith over Tifa.
They can fight that point all they want, but end question will always be "So what if it's default/canon? This proves Clerith how?"
Most Clotis don't even bother with the point of the date, or even argue against it, because it's irrelevant to Cloud's feelings. It's only relevant to Aerith's.
Cleriths, however, argue against the Highwind scene as being optional. Which is stupid. Which also proves that they didn't play the game. LOL
The Lifestream sequence at least tells us Cloud actually did like Tifa, at least once in his life. Does Aerith have that? Newp.
None of that answers my question.
IIRC, it was mentioned in some cards... or something. I don't even know. Ask the Cleriths.
