Cloud's response to Tifa saying, "I guess we still don't know each other that well," after she was surprised to learn he hated being alone as a kid.

I've said it before and I will say it again: cloti was written as the "it's always been you" trope. You can't have that with him wavering, because then it is not that trope anymore.
That was the big reveal in the Lifestream in OG. That is what the, "You, that's who," meant!
The MAIN reason I ship Cloud & Tifa so hard is because it’s a reflection of Cloud’s true character - a sweet, loyal, caring, loving, compassionate, committed, protective, passionate, dedicated, & wholesome guy who has been innocently in love with the same girl since childhood.
The reason SE keeps bringing up Cloud and Tifa's relationship while encouraging players to experience what happens between in Rebirth, especially since launch, is maybe, just maybe, because their relationship going to be of incredible narrative importance in part 3.
This is the face Cloud makes when he thinks Tifa forgot about him.
I can't imagine what he'd do if Tifa actually legitimately started dating someone else in front of him. Bro would put himself back in the tank.
People who think because Cloud and Tifa fought in Kalm it means they shouldn't be in a relationship have never read a romance novel and it shows. 😅
Their angst is all so romance 101, I'm howling.
I'm going to dunk on this dork for a second. The way his face changes (god, the animation is peak) from when she looks at him to when she looks away. He bites his lip to keep calm and then when she looks away, his eyes literally widen in absolute GLEE before a smile settles.
@PlayChoices
Can you guys maybe just do your fandom a solid and lay out what you guys had planned for Hero, Most Wanted and Ride or Die? A lot of people are craving closure and just having a Q&A with some of the writers would go a long way to mending some broken (and betrayed) hearts.
@PlayChoices
A lot of you don't get why we're mad. PB is a business. I know they have to make money, and shitty romance sells. I KNOW THAT. What makes me mad is books are purposely given bad endings, we're baited for YEARS, only for them to then come back and say, "lol oops."
By the way, for the moronic in the back:
no one thinks cloti is canon because of this show, this show was allowed to air this very specific episode because cloti is canon.
that's how marketing works.
They also changed Cloud's, "You know I'm... We're here for you, right?" to "You know we're here for you, right?" (the same thing he says to Barret after Dyne in Rebirth) in Cosmo Canyon.
Lmaooooooo.
Ever Crisis keeps OG Gongaga exactly the same except for Cloud there’s no option to self-identify as “jealous…. envious…”, that’s relegated to Aerith’s teasing…. To which he says nothing.
His response option here is changed into “…”
@PlayChoices
Thanks for giving us a craptastic ending to RoD1, then giving us hope for closure, and then completely shitting on your fanbase because you'd rather be Chapters 2.0. Bye. Moving on to Romance Club. Y'all are a joke lately.
The phrase, "rock-solid love," being used by Tifa's English voice actress to describe cloti in 2024 is just... not something I'd ever thought I'd get to hear honestly. 🥹😭
10yo me hasn't stopped screaming since the kiss, and now she's screaming even louder
#FF7
I don't want to scare anyone, but I need y'all to understand that this is not going to be used as a blocklist by most of the CAs out there. It will instead be used as a springboard for targeted harassments.
The absolute nerve to peddle a block list when y’all are the ones constantly coming to our side to harass, spread hate & falsehoods on our threads & trash our appreciation posts w/ lies & mischaracterizations.
Hopefully this means we’ll see less of y’all, but somehow I doubt it.
Can't believe there are genuinely people who think that ending was romantic? Leaving aside the delusion or illusion or whatever, their final moment is literally just "welp good luck and goodbye."
Dunno, I'd feel bummed if that was supposed to be my ship's grand farewell.
We moved on from Nomura saying they chose to depict cloti's relationship sooner and in more detail because they want players to understand the depths of their feelings way too soon.
No offense to anyone, but many of the FF couples are superficially romantic. They're very much "by the numbers" romances.
Cloti is incredibly complex. It's probably why some people resist the truth so much, but that complexity makes their relationship incredibly beautiful.
Cloti is one of the most wholesome, well developed, angsty, realistic, and beautiful ships in the entire Final Fantasy Franchise.
Why do you think they have been reigning supreme for 27 years? Over two and a half decades and it’s stronger than it’s ever been.
"Just take these scenes as these characters acting as these characters should, and these scenes will make so much more sense to you when you let the LTD die."

I have done my part, I hope this helps. 😔

Oh gee, who would have thought. 🙄
(Not a diss at Yamazaki-san, but me rolling my eyes that we need someone who worked on the game to say it while knowing it's still not going to convince them their ship is built on a house of cards.)
@aaronz31094613
Don't harass the devs because YOU fell for a 27 year old lie that's been debunked for decades already.
OG ended with CT. Ultimanias spelled it out they were canon. WHY did you think it was going to be different in ReTril? You're to blame for your own misery, not Nojima.
@PlayChoices
Y'all are really going to try to convince us a badass surgeon and head of her own department would drop that position so she can be her ex's subordinate in a field she doesn't specialize in just so she can become the target of MC's stupid professional and/or romantic jealousy
If you look at the entire animation, it's so peak.
1. Both looking at the stars.
2. Cloud then looks at Tifa and stares (as he does).
3. Tifa moves and Cloud quickly looks away.
4. Tifa's own eyes widen as she realizes what he did.
5. She turns and leans towards him.
My two ships for FF16 are Clive and Jill, and Joshua and Dion. One canon, one fanon.
Look, I know Dion has a canon boyfriend and he is sweet (if underdeveloped) but Joshua and Dion were ✨vibing✨. Also love the idea of Phoenix and Bahamut.

Cloud kisses Tifa, you nugget. Y'all have absolutely nothing going on upstairs and it's becoming clearer by the day...
Enjoy your pity handhold that Cloud himself doesn't consider a big deal, we'll enjoy our confirmation of mutual feelings and our kiss. ✌️
I can't remember if it's her mother or father who tells her that she can't die yet because too many people need her. A nice little indication (and reminder) that without Tifa, Cloud never recovers and without Cloud, Sephiroth wins.
When I say Tifa is the Samwise Gamgee of FF7.
With Sephiroth targeting Tifa so hard the planet is intervening. The Weapons and white whispers are actively protecting her. The planet needs her because Cloud needs her. She is the key to finally breaking Cloud free from Sephiroth’s influence. It’s such brilliant storytelling
Also clotis, y'all were wondering why we got a kiss in part 2 already when we were all expecting it to actually happen in part 3...
The dream date is why. The confession + kiss exists to remind the player where Cloud's real feelings lie, how he actually responds to a confession.
The people who haven't played OG not understanding the heavy foreshadowing of the entire scene, but also how hard the, "your words can't reach him now..." hits.
When Sephiroth said it, my stomach dropped.
Pictured Below: Tifa and Tifa's boyfriend make their stage debut in the Gold Saucer production of Loveless.
Audience members claim their performances were 'electric,' their chemistry was 'insane,' and they were 'the best Alphreid and Rosa ever.'
#TifasBoyfriend
Guess what? Every cloti in existence could jump ship today to ship Tifa with someone else and it would not stop CT from becoming canon in ReTril.
Why? Because their feelings for each other are a part of the story of FF7. CT was canon before it had shippers, you naive fool.
Aerith can live until she's 150, she still won't end up with Cloud.
I want her to remain dead because that is what happened in OG and I want a remake of OG to respect the original story.
Zack is one of my fav characters. I want him to remain dead, too. Shocking.
“Why are they so adamant about Aer being dead and with Zack?”
Cuz that’s the actual FFVII story.
I said in Part 1 that I didn’t care if Aer lived as long as they made it make sense. But oops they’re following OG. While Aer was alive, Cloud kissed Tifa, so cope how you wish.
"I romanced Aer in Remake and Rebirth so I'll be super mad if cloti is endgame."
1. Cloti is already endgame by virtue of ReTril following OG.
2. And as Nomura would like to say, "it's time to come back to reality," because you didn't "romance" anyone.
a romantic farewell:
"I'll think about you,"
or
"I'll come back for you, I promise,"
or
"We'll meet again."
NOT a romantic farewell:
"Hope you get back alright. Okay, bye."
Aren't you guys tired of pretending "you've been weird all day" is some kind of reciprocation to a confession?
Because no lie, if my crush said that right after I told them I liked them, I'd leave, change my entire identity, and never speak again.
But then, I've got standards.
"We have arrived." Can I just say how wonderfully surreal this is? To see them FINALLY get the acknowledgement they deserve.
CT has been canon since '97, but for decades gaming media tiptoed around it or completely rejected it and it's wonderful to finally see the opposite now.
Cloud needs to make peace with himself first before he can make peace with the deaths of his two friends. One happens in the Lifestream, the other happens afterwards.
There are key moments coming for the latter to happen.
And that's what I'll say about that.
Anyway, to all the alts lurking, trying to gaslight and manipulate their way through their latest brand of cope, idk what to tell you, man.
Take it up with Tifa's boyfriend, because
Again I say: as someone who actually plays interactive narrative romance games, it irks me to no end that they use that terminology for a game that absolutely isn't one.
There are no unique playthroughs, no routes, no individual T,A,B,N,Y romances.
Anyway, I see your "ship barrifa instead to appease us because we said so" and raise you "fuck off, I'll ship cloti even harder instead and the narrative will reward me for it." 🖕
Two tropes at play in this scene:
❤️A version of Aborted Declaration of Love (Tifa's OG date is actually listed as an example on TV Tropes lol)
❤️Oblivious to Love
Fuck it.
Y'all need to stop acting like the English version is a way out for them when it's not.
If a guy responded to my confession by saying I'm acting weird, the humiliation would undo my entire existence.
@PlayChoices
- LIs NOT Ethan repeatedly act like there's nothing going on between them and MC.
- Harper's character has been completely destroyed for petty reasons. No way the boss lady from book 1 would fly off the handle like that without F.A.C.T.S.
- everything is boring.
@nitezintodreamz
The blatant sexism, the unashamed racism, and the inability to interpret media correctly. Three giant Ls.
Also, if they're so concerned about Tifa being a terrorist, why do they ship Aerith with Cloud? Last I checked, he's one too. 🙄
We're making threads about the game, discussing the narrative as a whole, enjoying our fav characters and ship.
You're making "blocklists", demanding we ship something else, letting us live in your heads rent free.
We are NOT the same. 💅
Question to this fool (not Monk): if we have so much power over the devs that we could get them to "change the story of defying fate" (eyeroll) then WHY would we accept their "terms"? Wouldn't we just keep "making demands" and let our ship win since they're so eager to please us?
@TifaTheMonk
Amazing, Tifa's affection can be so low and cloti will still almost kiss in Gongaga.
Meanwhile, you can max Aerith's affection and Cloud still won't kiss her or tell her he likes her
Gee it's almost like the gameplay mechanic is meaningless in terms of where the story is going.
Everyone yapping on and on about the HA vs LA version of Aer's nightmare date like the miniscule differences between the two versions don't lead into the exact same conclusion 🙄
Y'all want your fav to be with a guy who is *checks notes* so emotionally immature he can't take 2 seconds to reassure the supposed love of his life that he cares about her feelings?
Funny how he possesses that maturity to do it for the OTHER girl and not the love interest.
I just saw her play victim for the pushback against her list and oh I am so 🤣🤣🤣🤣 about her constant self-victimization.
Stop running your mouth and go play OG!
@TifaTheMonk
I especially like the part at the end when Cloud picks up a Closed sign for the bar so he and Tifa can spend the day with their adopted son and foster daughter. 😌
@PlayChoices
Five years of "maybe one day!" for MW.
However many years of "maybe one day when we can get the artist again!" for Hero.
Two years of "it's in the early stages of development, but we've never done a sequel like this so it'll be worth it!" for RoD.
Excuse me but I get to be mad
@PlayChoices
Holy fuzzballs, you guys. Those chapters were INSANE, and in a good way. Especially chapter 11. The way y'all made me cry.
I feel so sad for Danny and Bobby, and I cried so hard for Raf and MC. Wow. Just wow. Well done.
30+ year old men having beef with a fictional female character because their fav waifu isn't the "true waifu" is some of the cringiest shit I've ever seen ngl.
No hug, no declaration, no nothing. Idk man y'all need to consume more romance to start understanding what is and isn't truly romantic.
But then again this is team "there's nothing more sexually charged than a high five" so idek why I'm surprised.
@PlayChoices
The fact that RoD2 was cancelled not because it wasn't popular, but because Luke is too busy elsewhere and now they're too afraid to take a chance.
Man, at least redo the ending so it's not such a damn wreck.
And part 3 is coming. You know, the part most of us expected to get the kiss because it's when all the peak cloti moments happen.
The kiss in Rebirth is a nice bonus.
