I think I scared her away

But you know... her spirit lives on inside me and all so

 

[Tennyo]

Who did you scare away?

 

[Dashell]

Celes didn't reply to my Highwind topic XD and she went silent on MSN

uhm here's something from the Reuinion Files:

"Although there's a lot to Tifa's character, she's actually very much like any other woman who's been left behind by a man. The director, Nomura, said he wanted to make sure she wasn't a clingy woman, but to portray her as though she's been hurt emotionally in a way that others around her cannot easily detect. But Tifa has expressed her feelings plainly to Cloud a number of times." (Nojima)

I'm guessing the Cloti argument is that it says she's very much LIKE any other woman who's been left behind by a man not that she literally WAS. But I'd like to hear others opinions on it anyway. I guess Cleriths will say that why does Tifa need to tell Cloud how she feels so many times if she felt the same way.

again, just bringing you the Clerith arguments without the screenshots

 

[Celes Chere]

Saying it means nothing! Read the TLS Ultimania. We have a whole section together.

Edit: But Tifa WAS left by a man. He came back, though.

 

[Dashell]

And I had to try and get us back on topic

 

[Isabella]

Tifa was left by a man. That quote is just further proof their relationship is romantic in nature. She wouldn't be a woman left by a man if he were just a roommate who moved out.

 

[Tennyo]

Ditto that, ditto that, Bella.

 

[Dashell]

Holy shit dude I didn't even think about that

That's much better than my stupid argument... how the fuck I didn't see that is beyond me... fuck, god I wanna hit myself sometimes

Fuck, no I'm really pissed at myself for not... ugh... spending too much time at the pink forum I guess.

 

[Strangelove]

I guess Cleriths will say that why does Tifa need to tell Cloud how she feels so many times if she felt the same way.

I had objections to that second line, but I don't remember what they are now

IIRC, it was something worries and anxieties, rather than 'feelings' (which sounds like she's making romantic confessions). Is there a scan of that page somewhere?

 

[Isabella]

Hito, that's how I read the line even without your hocus pocus japanese powahs.

I can't see Tifa telling Cloud her romantic feelings many times. But she has indicated her frustrations about his growing distance.

Oh hey, scan. http://gallery.digik.net/view/25730

 

[Strangelove]

But I've seen people try to spin it the other way, so it never hurts

But looking at it again, the way it's written (those feelings/その不&#23433 seems like it's referencing something mentioned earlier, which I think in this case would be something to do with how she's been hurt before.

 

[Vendel]

Tifa just needs to get a clue and move on. Cloud isn't interested.

Spoiler

Clearly Tifa doesn't even like Cloud for who he is but what she wants him to be.

Spoiler

And nothing can prove to me otherwise!!!!!

 

[Isabella]

That second poster desperately needs an editor. She could've said the same thing in a third of the space.

 

[Celes Chere]

I FOOKING HATE WHEN IT'S CLAIMED THAT TIFA DOESN'T LIKE CLOUD FOR WHO HE IS. That deserves all three of these!




Seriously. Cloud may not be anyone's description of a 'true hero', but he is to Tifa. He is everything she has ever wanted! She says so in Mideel when she watches over him, saves his ass, and most of all says:
"Nothing else matters. Just Cloud."
If she didn't like Cloud for who he is, she'd have left long ago and pined after some other guy. She'd forget all about the promise, and she wouldn't live with him and raise a family. How ignorant ARE people?



/Okay happy now.

 

[Ryushikaze]

Get a room you two. This thread is for SBNLPOFC(WNPTAOC)EOQRT

Love that new acronym.

This is the greatest day of my life... I was going to post something from CxA but this is too much fun.

You guys know there's enough of my love to go around right?

And for the first time, I wish I hadn't so adamantly fought that Cloud and Tifa didn't have sex under the Highwind

You can always recant.

But she's a woman left behind by a man. She is. And that's further evidence that there was a romance- you don't USE that phrase for friends or roommates. And he left her behind not because he didn't love her, or want the relationship to end, but rather the exact opposite.

Tifa just needs to get a clue and move on. Cloud isn't interested.

Spoiler

Bah 'He's still in love with Aerith' is old hat unless it's coupled with more lulzy stuff.

Clearly Tifa doesn't even like Cloud for who he is but what she wants him to be.

How about her knowing him all to well, supporting the mentally weak side of him, him being her romantic interest, etc. etc. etc.
Seriously, though, this is the woman who waited for her man for seven years, and upon learning he DIDN'T manage to get into SOLDIER, she still wanted him, still loved him, still believed he was deserving of her devoting her life to take care of him despite being a vegetable, and stuck with him, helped him regain himself, etc. etc. etc.
How the FUCK is this a woman who DOESN'T like what she sees? Who wants someone popular and famous? And MORETHEFUCKOVER, how the hell can they say- ESPECIALLY in light of explicit statements like she knows him all to well- that SHE DOESN'T KNOW HIM.

I'm sorry, but you can't play poker if you refuse to admit that there are spades in the deck. Blatant denial of FACT just shows this shit for what it is. And, If I'm not mistaken, that's post RF. To say nothing of the lifestream sequence. Doesn't fucking know him...

If Tifa doesn't know Cloud, I'm welsh.

 

[Dashell]

She wants a hero

The end of ACC would like to have a word with you
and everything else Ryu said.

That second poster desperately needs an editor. She could've said the same thing in a third of the space.

The long ass explanation as to HOW Aerith lives inside Cloud was worse IMO.

 

[Vendel]

Bah 'He's still in love with Aerith' is old hat unless it's coupled with more lulzy stuff.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Spoiler

This one covers a few bases.

 

[Isabella]

Those posts are years old ...

Anyway, where are they getting the idea that a couple having a lot in common is bad? Granted, it might not be the most interesting thing storywise, but it's usually a good thing to be alike in a relationship.

 

[Ryushikaze]

"She can't be correct in thinking of Cloud as the father! He's a son! There's no family there! And Cloud was having flowerfield sex at the end of AC Too!"

Egads that's even sadder now than it was then. And it was pretty sad to start with.

 

[Dashell]

I just noticed this in your sig, Vendel.

Every day is steak and blowjob day in the Strife household?

When the hell did Ryu say that? XD

Anyway, where are they getting the idea that a couple having a lot in common is bad?

Opposites attract I guess

 

[Celes Chere]

Tifa is so tragic. She had her man, her kids, and a happy family at the end of AC...

IT'S ALL SO SAD.

Sad maybe cause I don't have it

Those sad sad endings where a man returns to the woman he loves having faced his demons and found a cure for the fatal disease plaguing son and himself.

It's just too depressing, I tell you.

 

[Isabella]

You guys can be sarcastic all you like, but come on ... she's wearing black. You can't deny that she's wearing black.

 

[Channy]

"But Aeris liked Cloud for who he was."

Umm... When he was ZaCloud? It seems like Aerith wouldn't have paid attention to Cloud had SHE not met Zack first.
