The way his real smile is only for her and the way she accepts him as he is. It's watching two halves of a soul meet and recognize each other. My favorite love story of all time that's been with me for over 20 years and far into the future.
Finally, someone gets it. Cloud and Tifa are good friends that are attracted to each other and help each other out on their journey, but they don't have the same connection or complement each other the way Cloud and Aerith do. This is evident throughout remake/rebirth and even in compilations that take place after the events of FFVII.
@@orome9793 Of course. Tifa is so different from Cloud. Like polar opposites. Nojima wrote that she began developing maternal feelings for him. Eg he is the go to supply guy. Except he doesn't know any vegetables and is basicaly robed any time he buys something. Tifa knows she shouldn't say anything but still thinks it's funny af. On the other hand Aerith wouldn't have that reaction. She would understand different person (mental illness) plus 5 years commatose in a vat. Of course there are subteleties, like Tifa saying f the world while Aerith left Cloud to go save it. Though to me Tifa seems obsessed over Cloud because Aerith saw priorities ---> saving the world >his mental state> relationship with him.
Aeris and Cloud. Brown hair and green eyes to symbolize the earth. Blond hair and blue eyes to signify the heavens. A love that could never be. A destiny that stretches beyond the horizon.
Meanwhile Tifa fans; but but Cloud loves Tifa the whole time since they were kids....The whole Clerith narrative is forced....You never see Cloud smile more unless it's Aerith. She brings out the best of him and helps him open up more...Cloud did have feelings for Tifa until he met Aerith. She changed his world...
I'm just not looking forward to them shoving Cloud and Tifa down our throats in part 3 to to appease fans. I mean the developers would probably get death threats again if they didn't.
in the novel traces of two pasts written by Nojima, he laid it out pretty clearly all the ways Cloud and Tifa don't work, that they don't understand each other. I'm confident Cloud will end up with Aerith somehow in part 3
@@rifway22 I'm Clerith from 97 BUT I gotta say Nojima made it clear that everything wrong with Cloud doesn't make him a partner material. OFC og ending we though Cloud isn't sick anymore but his later material trashes his connection to the world. And Aerith, Nanaki and Vincent are the only ppl that can relate. 'Normal person" Tifa will always make him stand out. While "magic girl" Aerith will make him fit right in.
So do you guys know THE clerith edit?! This is so beautiful! Internally screaming and crying, the textbook example of star-crossed lovers who find and lose each other in every universe. The most tragic and beautiful love story ever told.
Aerith plays Rosa in 4 of the 6 dates & is Rosa in the credits & makes the most sense narratively & Aerith’s date has been default & canon since 1997 - we are non-optional, they are fan service
The reason devs put aerith is to pit against tifa. During early story draft, tifa was an ancient but they scrap that and add aerith.They are pushing hard this love story in rebirth so players feels more impacted when she is gone. But still people choose tifa because they don't like forced narrative 😊
@@nickisthemost What are you talking about? Cloud and Aerith were created first. Tifa wasn't made until later. Aerith has always been the main heroine.
@@nickisthemost in the pre production phase, story gets shifted all the time. Either way they decided aerith to be the heroine in the og which is THE canon imo
@@nickisthemostcompletely wrong. Look up the original Japanese demo for FF7, originally the only characters for it were cloud, Aerith and Barret. It’s across Japanese magazines when the game was in development, along with again the original demo that released in Japan. When one of the directors lost their mother to help with them coping with their loss they decided to kill off a character, which ended up being Aerith as she was the only female in the game. When that was decided they decided the cast wasn’t big enough, so they created more character. One of them being Tifa, in the magazine Red originally was designed to be a boss, and that was also changed to being a party member with a story. Gosh, that’s some next level made up crap I’ve heard. 🤣🤣🤦♀️
@@nickisthemost Where the hell did you read that? since the OG game came out, in ultimania, dev said that earliest protagonist were Cloud, Aerith and Barret. tifa were just last addition.
@@vaasmontenegro3728I agree. They even have zack learn that she likes cloud and accept it, have him tell cloud to save aerith, and have cloud and aerith confess to each other(which some people kind of don't understand, but the whole "liking and liking" thing was her saying she likes him romantically
@@xmant8842 You could say they confess to each other also during gondola ride. Cloud shows his true personality here. He's afraid of rejection from her side and you could see how much it costs him mentally just to hold her hand for a couple of seconds. He shows a face saying "Please don't reject me" and is quite afraid of that happening because he thinks Aerith has still feelings for Zack. But Aerith finds true Cloud charming and is definitely happy of seeing the "true Cloud". The date is optional but still. Btw during the dream date she says thank you which probably means I love you or smth like that. It would explain Cloud's reaction.
@@LodyPolskieNarodowe I agree with everything you've said. And if it hasn't been confirmed yet, I think it's safe to say clerith was the canon date of all the optional dates. From what I heard, the creators even basically told people they should do the clerith date. Plus, aerith is the only Rosa to show up in the credits. And when cloud holds her hand, he actually says something after that we couldn't hear it because it was "drowned out by fireworks," but it led to them holding hands tighter. From what I've heard, you're right. In Japanese, the "thank you" can be a romantic declaration like "I love you." I heard something similar happened in another FF game. FFX I believe
Respeito quem acha que a tifa é o par romântico do cloud, mas a verdadeira história de amor do jogo é a dele com a aerith. Não seria uma história de amor se não fosse trágica, como todo romance japonês. Espero que o final seja variado e até da as expectativas de todos. Tendo em vista que eles inseriram no jogo cenas com base no nível de intimidade das partes. É triste, mas considero canônico a relação deles dois.
@CLOUDSTRIFF basta ver como são retratados os relacionamentos na cultura oriental. E o jogo da a opção de desenvolver relação entre ambos pares românticos do cloud. Então não precisa ficar preocupado fanboy. O jogo foi feito com muito respeito aos fãs, a toda história do FF7 então,.possivelmente vai agradar a todos. Tanto que o encontro com a tifa só ocorre se vc desenvolver a relação deles.
Did the actual game not have enough pain in it? Just have to go and make this heart wrenchingly beautiful video to force more tears 🥺😭 Still loved it. I guess I’m just a sucker for angst.
я ще не грала, але розумію, що якась кількість цих сцен - це опціональний контент, якщо ти показуєш схильність до Ейрів, але ж не кінцівка… тобто можливо обирати раз у раз варіанти Тіфи, і в кінці дивитись, як розбито його серце через іншу дівчину 😅
in FF7 but in alterate universe Aerith and cloud are happy living esp in KH and in other games that they are tgtr.. Them doesn't in in FF7 nor AC but KH, DOC, DISSIDIA cloud will always be with Aerith in all pages that the real CANON!!.
Are you sure? The ending of Rebirth seemed to be a strange and screwy mix of Schrödinger's Cat (with Aerith as the cat, and Cloud caught in between) and Cloud's hallucinatory denialism. There's both realistic reactions to death and supernatural shenanigans at play, and we might not be able to tell what's what until part 3 comes out. I still believe that Aerith can be saved, but maybe I'm an idiot. It's exhausting that the creators chose this route instead of something more clear-cut, but it's what it is. Let them cook.
@@astraldirectrix Maybe they are going for the multiple ending solution. But i pray they dont make it so convoluted that they have to rewrite and retcon stuff. My other thought is that maybe they will make advent children a game as well and use that as the end to ff7 instead of the original.
Can I get something off my chest? FF7 Rebirth is such a cruel game for those who like Aerith/Cloud... It's torture for many reasons. I can't deal with this
@@chanoname4940 The devs announced that they're going to give us a happy ending while AC will still remain canon (it's going probably just to be a different world, where Aerith is dead).
Such incredible scenes between the two of them... and Square Enix puts in an optional scene the chance to kiss Tifa... and not with Aerith !!! How is this possible? What have we done wrong to Square Enix?
I feel even if they did it won’t feel natural. Aerith from remake asking him not to love her and choosing to use “like” rather than love while showing all the interest in the world… she’s not being true to herself and she don’t want to be Bsc she knows her fate. I feel the full version of the song. “No promises to keep” says it all about herself.
It would have been out of Character for them to Kiss, the relationship dynamics between Cloud and Aerith are more deeper than physical attraction, it's feelings that cant be easily explained.
Does the argument "they didn't kiss because Cloud isn't the real Cloud yet" make sense? I agree that the feelings they both have for each other are really deep...but not seeing a resolution/kiss or something like that between them in this trilogy for me would be something that would make me very sad... @@wolfwoodgrey224
@@francisco24slb1 I agree with you. While I think that a kiss isn't necessarily required between Cloud and Aerith, it's was a horrible miscalculation to give Tifa the kiss. Even it that kiss felt totally out of place, rushed and out of nowhere, I feel like the devs really made a statement here. Tifa has in part 3 her time to shine. In part 2 Aerith is the heroine of the story. I feel like the devs don't really match her importance to Cloud and the whole story here. She deserved a lot more than having tons of toxic Cloti shippers and disgraceful Aerith haters all over the internet defiling her legacy and denying her being an important, probably the most important part of the story, by attesting her being an unnecessary fifth wheel to Cloud and Tifa. Also I found that Cloud throughout the game acted cold and weird with Aerith, other than in the Remake. In the Remake they had a really sweet and close communication and I don't feel this in Rebirth at all. As an Aerith fan, this game hurt me more than I could have ever expected and I'm really pissed at Square Enix for baiting me to buy this game with cute Aerith dating scenes, while the main event was the Tifa date from the beginning. They have done a huge disservice to one of the sweetest and greatest characters, that they have ever created. I will definitely not buy part 3, unless they manage to do something really unexpected for all Aerith lovers. But I've lost my faith in this company.
Part 3 is going to be worse I'm afraid. They are going to shove Tifa+Cloud down our throats. The wouldn't risk pissing off that fan base again after all the death threats following the trailer.
Please make this with Saturn by Sza it fits so well. Seriously just mute the music and play this on another tab and you will understand ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tz8mTV_nZNw.html im crying
I think Tifa and Cloud's relationship is easy, simple and natural so it's not weird that they become lovers in the end, but Cloud and Aerith's relationship is full of guilt, doubt and heartache so it feels more meaningful (to me) and whatever happens in the end I guess Aerith will has always been the 'one that got away' for Cloud
You’re wrong, Cloud and Tifa never become lovers in the end, the 3rd game isn’t even out for you to jump to the conclusion. There are so many clues in the game and even the end that Cloud and Aerith will reunite. Is Aerith really dead? Maybe one timeline she is but lives in another, remember remake/rebirth made a lot of changes compared to the original game and they will make more changes in AC. I can explain why I know they will reunite but it contains spoilers if you didn’t finish the game.
Nah. It’s the other way around. We’re into healthy relationships with chemistry that inspires you to be a better person. Most people take a lot of trial and error to find a good match so it makes sense a lot of you ship Cloud with Tifa.
@@Clerithiscanonyes with the help of Aerith, on the gold saucer date, Aerith tells Cloud she is trying to find him the real him, in the sleepy forest Aerith urges Cloud to find himself the ones she’s been looking for the real him, when he is in the life stream he gets back some of his memory and I would say he is already getting back some of his memory because he remembers Zack. Aerith was the one to break down his walls. In chapter 1, Tifa knew Cloud was lying about being in Nibelheim on a mission with Sephiroth why didn’t she talk to him about it. Tifa did have some part in helping Cloud, but I would also say Aerith help him as well, since she was the one to urge him to find himself the real him. Not Clotis coming on a Aerith video to fight their ship 😂
It beautiful gow they rewrite this relationship and also tifa part just like 16 and 10 it so lovable good job whoever write this you make me fall in love with game once again but again i like it more if aerith end with zack rather than cloud cause zack is her first love
@@tonymaccaroni1683 What? You mean to tell me you're not still waiting on the person you liked when you were 13? How disloyal, no matter how many years go by, you can't move on! (I'm kidding in case anyone takes me seriously XD!)
