Clerith Streamers React to Cloud & Aerith's Gondola Date | FF7 Rebirth 

My personal analysis of the date(this is long): At the start of the date, he sits apart from her because he's both shy and unsure how she feels about zack right now. Yet at the first sign of possible danger, his first instinct is to move her out of the way of it(similar to when theyre falling at the end of chapter 13 and his first instinct is to pull her in close and take the full force of the fall himself). After getting so close that they were mere inches away from kissing, both of them get very shy and sit down. However, they are visibly closer than when the date started. They start having fun, but aerith can see that something is still keeping cloud from being fully in the moment. She can tell he's probably thinking about her and zack. Knowing this, she tells him that his similarity to zack was what peaked her interest, but also reassures him that that's not why she's with him now and that she's happy with him now. She tells him that she's trying to find him(don't let this distract you from the fact that cloud acts less and less like his soldier persona when around aerith due to liking her, relating to her, and her natural ability to break down his barriers). Cloud starts to bring up zack again, but aerith tells him tifa didn't tell her anything as a way to keep this *their* moment. You can see he's trying to think what to do next in that moment. That's when aerith gets in close to him and hugs his arm, sharing a sweet moment. He then holds her hand, which is extremely meaningful(and frankly, more intimate than the kiss with tifa) because he's had a fear of rejection ever since he was a kid, and he's carried them with him into his adulthood. He definitely wanted to be closer to aerith earlier in the date, but an action involving that level of vulnerability to hold hands with aerith like that is scary for him since he has this fear of rejection. But he allowed himself to be vulnerable with her and actually took the step of holding her hand, showing her that he truly cares for her deeply(loves her). He turns to her with what I consider a very vulnerable look, and she responds by reciprocating and holding his hand back. A few moments later, they hold hands tighter. My favorite thing about this date is the vulnerability we see from both cloud and aerith

When I saw Cloud take off Aerith’s arm I was like ‘awwww’ *my heart sank* When I saw Cloud take Aerith’s hand I was like ‘AWWWW!!!’

I love how at the start of the date, Cloud seems unsure and Aerith leads him on. But by the end Cloud is the confident one and offers to take her hand first as they exit. The little details are so sweet.

Man I hope we can get more positive Clerith specific reaction compilations like this. I remember seeing one of the red dress scene. But it had multiple anti Clertihs in it..... So it's nice to finally see one like this.

I love how they're so animated after the almost-kiss 😅

My mouth hurts from smiling, laughing and giggling. I cannot watch this with straight face 😍😭

OMG WHERE HAS THIS COMPILATION BEEN ALL MY LIFE???

I love Rex Sterling 3:27 “No no no. No DON’T LET HER GO!!!”

Man, the buildup to and then this scene is so good. Cloud was so ready for this moment their first trip to the Saucer but, with everything that happened since their first date, we finally get to this moment and he’s shut down, trying so hard not to mess up again. And the payoff is even better. To borrow Aruuu’s phrase: “It’s such peak writing.” I’m really glad it’s gained the traction it deserves.

Oh my god, living again in this moment with fellow Cleriths ;-; thank you for including me ;-;

I love this date so much. Honestly, thank you for likely introducing me to more clerith streamers through this video

That you Lord for this meal. I shall indulge as Clerith cleanses me of all my sins.

Needed a compilation like this! I need a list of every single Clerith streamer/youtuber we can find!!!

Confession: I forgot I'm *supposed* be watching the streamer's reactions and not the same clips 25 minutes straight 😂😂😂 And I relate so hard to the screenshot takers!

Omg I love all clerith streamers 😍😍🥰🥰

Cleriths unite!!! Lady Zero's reaction is so me. I just cried uncontrollably for a moment at the hand holding part 😭💗

im so sad rogersbase didnt get the intimate date, he wouldve been gooped and gagged 😭😭

I know Cloti’s won’t shut up about the kiss but the tsundere behavior for us to eventually have the kiss payoff in the next game is way more rife with tension. I loved this scene

It’s SO great to see other Cleriths react to it!! You should make a video of Clerith streamers reacting to the end!

Watching these is deliciously validating and oddly healing! 🌸 I loved watching this date unfold for the first time and getting to see others’ first-time reactions reminds me of why I love these two *together* so so so so much! Thank you! 🥹

This compilation is truly a delightful treat of concentrated good feelings. Thank you so much for that ❤

I love how we all gush over Aerith's cuteness. 😂

Thank you so much for this compilation!!! I found my people💗. Anyways, I really love how the GS date between Cloud and Aerith made it clear that Aerith has moved on from her first love.(I'm wishing you happiness Zack) And that the one she years to be with is Cloud. I love how Cloud offered his hand when they got off the ride💗💗💗. My boy knows he's the one!

rogersbase reactions were priceless. i had the same reaction (probably even a bit more lol) still loved this video!!!❤

Javelin Reacts was so cute! 😭 I need to watch his playthrough now! 💕

that healed me🥰🥰

Loved the reactions from all these streamers! Please also do the reactions to the chapter 13 date and water altar scenes!

I love how sweet and soft they are ♥♥♥

I've been looking for a compilation video of Clerith scenes. Thankyou for doing this! Part of the reason why I love this scene so much more than the kiss scene is because it holds so much meaning. It's a slow build up to a kiss I hope. Reminds me of when my boyfriend and I had the courage to hold hands together for the first time when we started dating. 😊😍 Also, did you all notice that the blue airship crashed into the red one this causing the green airship to crash into their ferris wheel? Doesn't Blue symbolize Cloud and green symbolizes Aerith??????? Then whose red?

That ferris wheel would cost the cost of an aircraft carrier to build. Also aerith says generic stuff to look cute that you would think are cheap tricks but shes so cute you can't help but like it.

There date is so wholesome and sweet too they deserve all the happiness glad that there is still some good videos of clerith 🌏❤️

"take her hand Cloud, take her hand" "TAKE HER FUCKING HAND CLOUD" 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

Nice! Hope to see Kabbaway in one of these compilations someday, they’re so underrated

Clerith for LIFE BEACHES!!!

Roger screaming at the near kiss and then taking a screenshot 😂 i did the same thing. Also the guy at 24:50 is my spirit animal lol! Thank you for the comp, I loved it. Cant wait for new videos, I'm a glutton for Clerith

aerith is such a sweet character THE DATE is SO ADORABLE I DO LOVE cloud AND TIFA too when i play for the 3rd time im gonna try and get every date

I love both ships, and both are really precious in their own ways. It's really nice just watching the happy compilations instead of the wars lol

I think it's funny how Aerith lurched towards Cloud during the space fight. I mean, the gongola isn't spinning at that point and it's all a projected image anyway

I've found my people Clerith shippers unit

ARUUU and RogersBase are my favorite Streamers of FF7. Why does RogersBase did not have the hand holding?

im wondering if all of this streamers did this in their first playthrough. a validation that they are really a Clerith fan. i only know Aruu is a solid Clerith shipper 😂

During the playthrough in Remake, Aerith keeps saying to Cloud that she doesn't need protection. Yet the first thing she does is seek protection and cover from that boy.

Wait there is actually enough Clerith streamers to react to this?

Here we are, The Lewd Handholding Squad 🫡 (In case you don’t know the reference, it’s from the chat on ARUU’s video😂)
