Yeah, they said something like Nojima made their relationship more obvious (KH2 interview, I believe), but Nomura intervened so that more mystery would surround Tifa/their relationship and they were all hating on the guy, going "STFU, Jimerz, Nomura knows best."

Ah, well it was a long time ago.

I guess being the scenario writer means it's uncanon when you speak of FFVII. :neom:

Sucks for him.

The only thing that changes is whether the team watches them or hears them. Those are the only two versions and none of them are rejections. The Clerii claim there's a third one, but that must be one of those only obtained by the most dedicated of followers, because even SE doesn't seem to know about it (read: doesn't exist).

So one version has them being physically intimate while everyone watches, while the other = everyone hears what they're talking about/doing. And Red + (was it Cid?) tease them the next morning in BOTH versions.

Clearly, Red & Cid hate Tifa as much as the Clerii, because they make fun of her after pouring her heart out and getting horribly rejected. :monster:

Not to mention that the high affection = the only one SE keeps shoving in our faces in every guide they publish. Must be because they totally want to push Cleris

I just read the script of the American version online, and a lot of it confused me.

I can see where people thought Cloud rejected her, but then again, I didn't read anywhere that she outright mentioned her feelings for him. Also, can someone tell me what Cloud ment by the following statements:

Cloud
"Hey, Tifa...... I...... There are a lot of things I wanted to
talk to you about."

(He shakes his head slowly.)

Cloud
"But now that we're together like this, I don't know what I
really wanted to say..."
"I guess nothing's changed at all... Kind of makes you want to
laugh..."

They seem to think they have reason to like Nojima now. Good thing they're never troubled by context.

BW, this scene is described as the scene where they reveal their mutual feelings. Cloud's saying he wants to tell Tifa something, but that he doesn't know how to say it in words. Tifa tells him to say it without words. Then the screen fades to black, and they wake up cuddled up next to each other.

That reminds me... some people were upset that the creators were portraying Tifa as someone she's not in ACC. (Being a main reason for Cloud's recovery, for example. I recall a quote something along the lines of "So Tifa bitching at Cloud helped him? WTF".

Case in point: Tifa stating, "Word's aren't the only way to show how you feel."

I think what Cloud's saying there is that even though he had intended to talk to Tifa about things, he can't go out and say them directly to her, and doesn't know how to say to her face. Which is why they say it in words.

Oh dear god I bet they were disappointed when they heard Aerith directly stealing lines from Tifa's script. :monster:

Christ on a cookie, she didn't bitch at him. She rarely yelled at him and mostly just let him do his own thing. I'd like to see some of them go an entire relationship without yelling at their significant other at least once. :sadpanda:

:sadpanda: Me thinks that not having arguments with your significant other just means that the relationship is too closed. No one's relationships are perfect.

But continue on with that scene and eventually it sounds as they aren't really together (damnit, my wi-fi is acting up and lost the site I was on) Anyway, the next morning Tifa mentions that moment never happening again or something along that lines, and she panics when Cloud mentions something, and he says something close to 'don't worry, we'll go on together' or some crazy shit like that.

Then when they get on the Highwind, and Tifa gets teased, either:

A) Cid and Barret are the biggest gossips (perverts) ever and watched the two the entire night, thus she is embarassed to have other watch such an intimate scene.

B) Like someone said before, she was rejected and when Barret and Cid teased her she was embarassed by what happened and ran off.

BWA, you do realize that she said that because it was their last night together, the day before they were going to attempt into defeating Sephiroth? She says that because she thinks that it'll be the last time the two will be spending their time together, not because she's rejected and she wants to take a whiff at his clothes. The, "nothing's changed at all," line just comes to show that Cloud is still bad at showing his feelings through words. There's no explanation for Tifa saying, "Words arent' the only way to show one how you feel," then. And if you consider it, I doubt SE would make a character like Tifa fall so low.

Tifa thinks they may not have this moment again because they're headed off to battle Seph. It could very well be the last day of their lives.

And Cid and Barret just got there in the morning. They didn't actually watch anything, other than maybe seeing them wake up next to each other. Tifa's embarrassment is more about her doing something out of character for her than about what they actually saw.

Do you really think her friends would tease her about being rejected by the man she obviously loved? Some friends there.

Edit: A beat me. :P

Okay, that makes sense. And I never said that I think she was being rejected, I just didn't quite understand what was happening because she flips the next morning and Cloud has to reassure her that he'll be there.

Tifa's confidence seems to have drained out at that point - Cloud reassuring her by doing those silly lunges was quite a boost for her, I think. :monster:

Which is exactly what SE says: Tifa isn't clingy and she doesn't push Cloud. She lets him make his own decisions (of course, the Clerii ignore everything when it suits them, so she's a clingy bitch ho).

But as his lover, she has no qualms about telling him he's being an ass. She is the only one who confronts him that openly exactly because she's his koibito - it is her place and no one else's. Their friends all have their say, but it isn't their place to interfere in matters of their family. Exactly why the Tifa speech takes place in the dark in a bedroom -- to further solidify the idea of two lovers having an argument.

Also, she knows him best. He needs his ass kicked, which is what Marlene does :P

Oh, Anna, Alex's accusation of sex obsession would hold more water if he didn't write porn. No, I'm not planning on letting him live that one down when he insists on saying the other side is sex obsessed.
:lol: Yeah I happened to sneak a peek at his Fanfic on DesFailed...

Also, Interrupted By Fireworks plays during it and only one person is ACTUALLY interrupted/cut off: here's a hint, it's not the the ninja, black dude, or flowergirl
Woah I didn't notice that!! What a fitting title then *awww*

IIRC Reno and Rude were (at least) surprised by Cloud's refusal to go to the Forgotten City in AC but they didn't say anything and left it to the clingy ho to nag him. I thought that was an incredibly cute scene :3

Their behavior is consistent with the idea that Cloud and Tifa are a couple. They're acting awkward and intrusive about overhearing the conversation and are trying to get outa the way, like what most of us would do if we overheard a couple getting heated.

Argh, that's what really bothers me in LTDs. You can't continue to argue that Tifa and Cloud can't be together because Tifa is too clingy, and disturbs Cloud mentally, when the creators have said so many times that she understands and supports him, and NEVER made him feel like crap.

I mean, comparing my relationships (LOL SELF STORY TO GAME I NO :awesome:) my relationship where I do argue is much happier than the one where I didn't. We'd just shut up and angst by ourselves and quietly hate each other. Great relationship, amirite?:sadpanda:

Tifa: Everyone's gone...

Cloud: Yeah, we don't have anywhere or anyone to go home to.

Tifa: You're right... But... I'm sure someday... they'll come back, don't you
think?

Cloud: Hmm... I wonder...? Everyone has an irreplaceable something they're
holding on to... But this time, our opponent...

Tifa: Hmm... But that's all right, even if no one comes back. As long as I'm
with you... As long as you're by my side... I won't give up even if I'm scared.

Cloud: ............ Tifa......

Tifa: No matter how close we are... We were for apart... before this. But when
we were in the Lifestream surrounded by all those screams of anguish, I thought
I heard your voice... ...sniff... you probably won't remember this... But deep
in my heart I heard you calling my name... Or at least I thought I did...

Cloud: Yeah... At the time I heard you calling me. You were calling me back
from the stream of consciousness in the Lifestream. After all, I promised. That
if anything were to ever happen to you, I would come to help.

Tifa: Cloud...? Do you think the stars can hear us? Do you think they see how
hard we're fighting for them?

Cloud: I dunno... But... Whether they are or not, we still have to do what we
can. And believe in ourselves... Someday we'll find the answer. Right, Tifa?
That's what I learned from you when I was in the Lifestream.

Tifa: Yeah...... that's right...

Cloud: Hey Tifa...... I...... There are a lot of things I wanted to talk to you
about. But now that we're together like this, I don't know what I really wanted
to say... I guess nothing's changed at all... Kind of makes you want to laugh...

Tifa: Cloud... Words aren't the only thing that tell people what you're
thinking...

Cloud: ............

Later, during the middle of the night...

Cloud: ............It's almost dawn...

Tifa: H, huh...?

Cloud: Sorry. Did I wake you...? It's almost dawn, Tifa.

Tifa: Umm... G, good morning... Cloud. Give me a little longer... Just a little
bit longer... This day will never come again... So let me have this moment...

Cloud: Yeah... okay. This is probably the last time we'll have together......

The next morning...

Tifa: .........

Cloud: We'd better go.

Tifa: But, I still...!?

Cloud: It's all right, Tifa. You said so yourself yesterday. At least we don't
have to go on alone.

Tifa: Yes... That's right!

Cloud: Okay! Let's go!

Cloud and Tifa embarks the Highwind.

Tifa: The airship is too big for just the two of us. Yeah, it's a little lonely
without everyone.

Cloud: Don't worry. It'll be okay. I'll make a big enough ruckus for everyone.
Besides, I'm the pilot. No more flying around casually like before. We won't
have time to feel lonely.

Tifa: Huh!?

Cloud: It's moving...... Barret! Cid!

Barret: O, oh......is that okay with you?

Cloud: Red XIII!

Tifa: Why didn't you tell me!?

Red XIII: But, you know, Cid.

Cid: Hey, Red XIII. If you butt in now, you never know what they'll say
later......

Tifa: ......Were you watching?

It's apparent to the boys in the group what's going on at least...
