Let me say, if after Rebirth you still think Cloud doesn't love Tifa and only her, then you're a dumbass and I'm being honest with you.
Yes, you... who are reading this and think there's any ambiguity, your last braincell just left your head because it's probably tired of you.
Just got to know this was real Cloud and I'm in my feels because I knew it!😭❤️
(the fact that this is what we're gonna have in the next game...just off me)
I didn't notice this here, I used to feel like he was worried about something and the scene moved very quickly, but when I rewatched it, I knew he was thinking about the starry sky of the promise in Nibelheim, while looking at the starry sky at the Gold Saucer.
Why would Sephiroth even try so hard to break Cloud and Tifa apart... to make him lose faith in her, if Tifa wasn't THAT crucial in Cloud's development? Sephiroth knows that better than anyone.
Not to be repetitive, but it seems like people don't think with their brain sometimes.
Margot, just say that you're jealous of a fictional character and let's end it there, you and your friends are pathetic losers.
Nojima vs A literal nobody
Kitase officially said in an Italian interview, that Hollow is a song about Cloud's feelings of loss and he mentioned that Zack takes a big part in the meaning and message of the song.
No shipping involved guys...so y'all can rest assured

🧵I think the reason why some people can't accept Cloud and Tifa's significance and love for each other, is that they think they inherently can choose one girl and ignore the one they don't like, as if it was an otome game.
Ignoring Cloud's progression with Tifa though, means

One of my classmates peed in the middle of the class because one of her friends made her laugh so hard she couldn't keep it anymore. (in my school you couldn't go to the bathroom until a certain time)
"Tifa is too nice to Cloud, she didn't even hold him accountable..."
Tifa is not "too nice". Tifa is smart, she loves him, she knows he's not ok and she knows he'll NEVER hurt her of his own free will.
She's not too nice, you're just too dumb to understand Cloud's conditions.
People thinking Cloud dying would be the best ending... you've consumed so much content with a main dying, that you can't differentiate a good character development/arc, from mere shock factor.
Death is overrated if it has no purpose and for Cloud it's character assassination.
I'm so happy people got it. Many thought he didn't wanna talk to Tifa, but it's clear, as he slowly stands up, that he was almost sure she would have been scared of him after what happened and that's why he thought she would have felt safer with him leaving🥺
"The localization isn't bad, it's hard to adapt English to Japanese"
Localization:
T: Gotta say, it's kinda nice, looking up and seeing the blue sky"
C: Beats a steel one, that's for sure
Translation:
T: I like it, to look up at the sky
C: Be careful not to hurt your neck
Things that anger fake FFVII fans:
- CA is a headcanon
- CT and ZA are the real couples/there was never a triangle
- Without Tifa there wouldn't be Cloud
- Zack's legacy gave life to FFVII
- Crisis Core is not a retcon
- Aerith liked Cloud because he reminded her of Zack
Can we agree that Tifa lifting her shirt in Kalm to show Cloud her scar, could only work with him? If Cloud was any other guy, it would have been weird.
Tifa could be naked and he'd still look at her with all the respect and love in this world. There's never malice in his eyes.
Again, if Tifa is sexy, it doesn't mean she's sexualized.
She wears shorts under her skirt, no exposition of cleavage... yet we have Scarlet/Aerith boob shots and Yuffie is 16, with her zipper open, wearing clothes similar to Tifa's, but nobody says anything.

He doesn't just help her or cheer her up, but wants to be an integral part of her life, actively, despite the hardships and the obstacles he has to face in order to be there.
I wanna thank real Cloti/Cloud fans for staying on this app despite the drama, you're a rare gem, I appreciate you and I need to know more of y'all exist.
Everyone who sees Cloud for who he really is, and is able to appreciate his role and development, is my hero in this fandom🥹
People will say Cloud has no rizz with their whole chest, just because he doesn't try to rizz all the girls that come up to him, but he's loyal to his one and only Tifa...
I smell projection.
A reminder that the EN localization team of
#FF7Remake
, had to ruin/sacrifice lore, because they felt the need to assert their Clerith preference, in a game which they don't own and even when Cloud was referencing important info like Jenova's Reunion

The one who doesn't need to be the most perfect boyfriend, to impress her and the one who doesn't have to seduce her, to make her smile like a fool, but can light up her day, even with the most stupid little thing
Developers since the beginning of Remake:
"all the major plot points will be the same"
FF7 fandom:
"We don't believe you"
*Game stays the same*
FF7 fandom:
The fact the devs made it crystal clear that it's Cloud himself who leaned in to kiss Tifa.
You can see they wanted people to acknowledge his feelings and intentions, especially since players always assume she's the one "crushing"🥴, but they never recognize how down bad he is.
"Cloud likes both Aerith and Tifa"
Meanwhile there are so many moments in which he recoils from Aerith, sighs at her, makes stank faces, gets mad or annoyed at her when she's clingy with him in front of Tifa.
You don't need an analysis to see that, just functional eyes.
The one who gets crap from others for being a jerk, but takes his responsibilites, cares about his loved ones the most and even spilled blood for them.
The way he awkwardly clenches his little fists, walks with his head down and starts to follow Tifa and the kids...please🥺
I need to protect this child at all costs🙏🏼
What I'd love the most for Cloud in the third part of Remake, is if they added him talking about what he wants for the future and about family.
It's time to debunk the illusion people have in their head of a Cloud that doesn't care about his loved ones.
It seems like in Japanese, Tifa was asking Cloud if he wanted to experience saving her.
It apparently wasn't her who said "I want to experience that", she was asking him, if he would have liked to be her hero for once🥰

The one who feels like a second son and a brother to her family and not the one who gets used as their own money making machine (let's remember that Thyme is rich af too)
Let's remember that when Cloud went missing in the OG, Tifa became the party leader. If she wasn't strong and trustable enough, that wouldn't have been a thing.

To think the devs made Cloud's body language so clear and some people still can't see it.
He scoffs, complains and tries to back away with both Jessie and Aerith, but not with Tifa.
He actively chooses to have physical contact with her, he leans in, shields her and embraces her.
I just watched the scene of Cloud and Aerith in front of Jessie's poster and I'm...baffled is a euphemism.
Cloud just said "she died in sector 7, despite my behavior, she tried so hard to befriend me" and Aerith goes "just friendship, or more?".
When I think it can't get worse...
I just want to say that Tifa's fans love her, not just because she's sexy and is a good fighter. These are only two of the multiple qualities that Tifa has.
Everyone, even those who are not yet in the fandom, can recognize how amazing she is.

I'm not the type to obsess over kisses because if it isn't clear enough from my posts, my favorite scenes in FF7, despite including Cloud and Tifa, are more centered on their development than on fluff, but the hopeless romantic in me loves when she sees Cloud yearning like this🥹
Cloud smiling after witnessing Denzel and the kids being finally healed in Advent Children, is the n°1 reason why I became a Cloud fan and it's probably the best representation of Cloud's character around the compilation in just one single scene.
@TifaTheMonk
what would the second one imply? Cloud and Tifa were about to go on the ferriswheel and were being shy, how is that even a comparison?😂
THIS is a comparison
>>>>>
CAs: "Cloud is such a great character, that's why I love him"
Also CAs: "Cloud in MY playthrough isn't like that! He's svicidal over Aerith, he doesn't care about Zack, but you're forcing me to consider him as an individual with his own feelings and thoughts!? Preposterous!"🤪
Imagine if there as a mechanic in part 3 of Remake, similar to the one in Baldur's Gate 3 with Astarion, that lets Cloud kiss Tifa every now and then in-game...
I want to manifest it, but this is just my wishful thinking🥲
I'm sure someone posted it already, but let's just repost this, because the localization team is trying so hard to sound ambiguous. Y'all are not fooling anyone.
Cloud is so real, because sometimes we don't find the will to fight for ourselves and we feel worthless, but then a light comes into our life in the form of someone we love... it could be family, children, partners etc and we become the strongest and bravest to protect them.
It's ironic that the DDC thinks Clerith is the "superior ship", when they are just cheering for the sufference of two people and they say Cloti is toxic, when they are the synonym of love, family, support, trust, healing, resilience, hope, happiness and strength instead.
#Cloti
People who want for Tifa to stay out of Cloud's life using the "I want more of her as a individual" as an excuse, are only doing it because they want Aerith in her place and are scared because Rebirth Aerith, ironically, only revolves around guys.
I never post about Zerith but I saw this on pinterest and it's related to Cloud. It actually made me tear up a little bit.
They put so many parallels between Zack and Aerith and looking at this while I'm posting is making me sad.

DDC Clerith: "Cloti scenes are useless to the plot and will never interfere with the CA relationship"
Square Enix: *gets rid of every single Clerith scene from OG, since they're useless for the plot, and makes the Cloti scenes canon*
