For those people saying Aerith βstoleβ Cloud from Tifa:
1. Aerith and Cloud met by themselves. Their relationship blossomed without Tifa in the picture. itβs not like the girls even knew each other or were best friends first
This clot said CxA relationship is just an illusion cuz βthe ultimanias said something about Cloud not wanting to live in an illusion anymoreβ
Isnβt it obvious that illusion is him being a SOLDIER? and living up to his childhood crushβs expectations? π
CAs have so much time to have fun theorising what will happen in the end (cuz we accept the ending of rebirth and the multiverse)
CTs say they already know the ending of P3 and it will turn out exactly like OG π if sooo confident, why so angry? π€
2. Tifa meets Aerith via Cloud, and thatβs only bc Aerith convinced Cloud to go save her. Aerith is her heroine just as much as Cloud is her hero in wall market. Aerith is always encouraging Cloud and Tifaβs friendship. What would happen if Cloud left Tifa to fend for herself?
3. Bc Tifa meets Aerith through Cloud, she questions how and why they keep helping/following each other⦠she is already convinced Cloud likes Aerith and vice versa
Tifa has always been the third wheel in CAβs relationship, never the other way around.

Also, if you answer her question about T with βwhat? No wayβ embarrassed, she goes βmmhmmβ and he turns to see her reaction straight away and stares a while π as if he doesnβt want her to get the wrong idea π
Depending on how you interpret the ending, we are really playing a whole different game from each other π
although I think itβs pretty obvious what the ending means, SE were smart for that
I really think Rebirth was meant to be a wake up moment for clerith deniersβ¦ a transition or way of breaking it to them gently. Instead, theyβve just doubled down on their denial π
if you answer Aβs question about T with βwhat? No wayβ embarrassed, she goes βmmhmmβ and Cloud turns to see her reaction straight away.
He stares a while π as if he doesnβt want her to get the wrong impression of him π
@Krysellerith
Ironically, Iβm more like π΅ personality wise - reserved and holding back but I want to be more like Aerith who is just carefree and confident in expressing her feelingsβ¦ I think many women would aspire to be like Aerith π
Aerith is the only one whoβs brought out the real side of Cloud thus far. To say their relationship is an illusion is denial. So far, Cβs interactions with T have been so superficial, mixed in with suave romantic gestures he thinks a SOLDIER would act out.

@lunali_lu
Just rewatched, donβt agree that sheβs the main character next to Cloud tho. Considering Aerith is the one that stops meteor with the lifestream
he /might/ have a case in OG, JUST because she dies too early. But in the remake itβs making it clear who the main heroine really is.
@ChonkoboChic
@lunali_lu
Technically nothing, she is a main character but so is Aerith.
And judging by the end of Rebirth, thereβs no denying who the main heroine is.
Since majority of his fans are highly likely clots, cleriths shouldnβt care how he plays.
@GowenKegan
@mudiscorp5227
Same case with me π went in blind with remake. Didnβt go on Twitter till rebirth just to find out everyone thinks Tifa is the main heroine/ love interest π§ wth is wrong with this fandom
@Cevcmepergunta
@ChonkoboChic
I think he is pandering here tbh. Iβve watched nearly all of Maxβs remake play throughs and he admits CA resolution scene was THE canon choice.
Tifa is a main character yes, but sheβs not the main heroine.
@AerithCloud3
That theory is sad, but there is too many clues that say otherwise. Sleeping and waking up are key in this game and are a means of traveling to and waking up in other worlds.
@AerithCloud3
@MaycombBloom
This is a key theme to their love story. They parallel in childhood / history and yet complimentary opposites at the same time ππ
i remember when I watched Aerith sing in game for the first time, and she steps up an octave at the last lineβ¦ chillsβ¦ and then she uses the lifestream to manifest Biggs, Jessie and Wedgeβ¦ did anyone else burst into tears? just before she started crying π’
@Yozu_xiv
This!!! I was about to reply to a post about this
Because Cloud didnβt go on the date with Aerith, he never heard her confession and still thinks Aerith has feeling for Zack. So heβs still insecure about making his feelings obvious :)
@clotiOTP
so cute and grumpy because he thinks Aerith still has feelings for Zack, considering this is after Gongaga and what HE brought up himself on Tifaβs date. Context is key people.
@AerithCloud3
*spoilers*

you should watch the cutscene when Cloud deflects Sephy's sword from killing Aerith again, a new world is created when he wins. It's represented by the rainbow barrier. Then the white whispers (connected to Aerith) fly around her body.
how many times does this man display his jealousy in this game? π this, Gongaga, Nanaki talking in Aerith's room. Wait, no, he's just an overprotective brother-figure shut upπ€
@Amouerith
I am convinced when CA do kiss it will be non-optional, added to the many non-optional CA interactions they've given us since remake. There I said it. I am a believer :)
And why would SE flesh out this huge love story between clerith just to have her die the exact same way as OG? Be boring and pointless af to play.
Thereβs a reason P1 Remake was ALL in Midgar - it was building up Aerith and Cloudβs story
Of course sheβs sad π sheβs going to be praying there all alone and far away from Cloud (in another world as well)π₯Ί
sheβs so brave and hides her sadness behind a smile again π

@aerithsclouds
In a way, Cloudβs sudden romantic gesture was him putting on his SOLDIER persona and perception of what would please her. I wholeheartedly believe that isnβt how his real self would initiate his first loves kiss. Not after the conversation they were having before π
@blackaerith
I hope she can reunite with him in part 3 somehow :3 She even says that it doesnβt feel like heβs actually gone and that he can show up at anytime
@AerithCloud3
they hate her cuz Cloud loves her π€·ββοΈ Even after death π΅ can't hold a candle to π and that pisses them off. They loved the side character more than the main heroine, and that's sad because CA's relationship is so beautiful and is the driving force of FF7
they really want Aerith dead don't they π the reason Aerith's death was so impactful to Cloud in OG was because he loved her, ofc we as the player want to help him save her this time. But nah they want her to be killed by Cloud or be Jenova manipulation for shock factor
@Shinra_RyoS
The only thing riding on their ship is Aerith dying so itβs sad but not surprising why they mock her death
Itβs like they have no empathy toward Cloud or any of the characters that mourned her. Sad bunch.
@CloudxAerith
the amount of thought that goes into the writing and directing of this game is phenomenal! I'm finding small details and connections every time I watch the cutscenes back. It is all intentional π
being clerith in the west is like swimming against the current and walking through a storm π
it can get frustrating being on here, but we know clerith awaits on the other side of it π
@AerithCloud3
sex on the cold, hard, rocky floor outdoors at night. I really don't see it, but then again horny boys would write and assume something like that.
@MargotXCloud
Her not being overbearing in Rebrith actually made this moment where she steps into the fight give me the chills! She looks like an unassuming flower girl, but we're reminded she's THE magical girl heroine, the last known surviving Cetra that can save the planet...

@DanielXie3234
I thought it was obviously in regards to Sephiroth being from AC. That doesnβt mean this trilogy will conclude with the outcome/ universe of AC.
Guys I think Iβm gonna move over to Japanese ff7twt cuz itβs so chill there, theyβre like πΈπΌπβοΈ β¨π« and they just appreciate clerith
@pollenainne
@SombreroKoala
@Cevcmepergunta
Yeah I agree, itβs supposed to be true to his character acting suave to her. However, Iβd still argue it was the wrong decision, narratively. Its like choosing to see Cloud fail, seeing the wrong side of Cloud, a βwhat ifβ moment the player went down
@AerithCloud3
She is literally the only character in FF7 that they like, they don't care about Cloud or understand his character at all. They just shoehorn ideas and scream at the devs to make their fanfictions canon.
@toluaclake
Tifa knowwwws, she knows he likes Aerith, surely π she even laughs with Aerith after he makes an excuse about the turks. He's being too protective xD
@MEMON47262378
Thatβs what I keep saying!! ππ they know π΅ doesnβt stand a chance if Aerithβs alive. Screams of their insecurity in their own ship.
@heccinbork
Donβt let the few toxic ones get to you. They went below the belt, completely unnecessary comment. If they had to stoop so low it means you were saying something right that they couldnβt refute
This clot said CxA relationship is just an illusion cuz βthe ultimanias said something about Cloud not wanting to live in an illusion anymoreβ
Isnβt it obvious that illusion is him being a SOLDIER? and living up to his childhood crushβs expectations? π
@strife_eva
@cloudthepuppy
Man, a lot of ff7 OG fans became fans for the WRONG reasons π I watched the HW scene thereβs literally nothing there to indicate he loves π΅
@Amouerith
Ey we didnβt say he was a piece of trash, go ask the devs why they made him talk about A&Z on her date, then kiss her in the most jarring way
if clots think Cloud's true love interest will be canonised by a fanservice kiss and a sex scene, they know nothing about Japanese media or FinalFantasy in general lol.
a kiss and HW after witnessing every interaction AC has had up till now is pure cope
@HelloHelloTae
@strife_eva
@cloudthepuppy
Thatβs why they hide the real events of AC in fan fiction.
They talk as if βοΈ chose to settle down and adopt children with her. π΅ might be a mum figure to Marlene in their dynamic, but βοΈ doesnβt desire to be anyoneβs father in this situation π
@Hunt621820
@MargotXCloud
He looks salty af, his face isnβt nearly as soft or vulnerable as it is with Aerithβs confession. But clots stay deluded lol
@Cevcmepergunta
@Ashley64894892
Mother πππ guess that supports the theory that Aerith is the perfect type for Cloud: βan older, more mature girl, to keep you on the straight and narrowβ π
@Cevcmepergunta
Just like she did in remake in the βdreamβ sequence - when she thanked him for everything and how he made her so happy, then said βwhatever happens, you canβt fall in love with meβ β¦ π₯²
