The real cope is you faggots falling for the most obvious manipulation there is. That shit wasn't put in because, "They are twue wuvs!" It was put in as a cynical attempt to maker her "death" hit harder. It's also the same reason the entire game is a big, "What's Aerith doing and why is she so great and amazing?!" the entire fucking game from every single character, including dead characters who never even met her but showed up for her concert performance to give the thumbs up on how amazing she is.

At that point in time, Aerith is with Cloud, and he willingly leave her behind for no reason, and she willingly stayed behind for no reason as well. In fact you can argue that Zack only separated them both by the end of the game.

She let Cloud go to cause meteor and stayed behind to pray for holy to minimize the damage of meteor? She already prayed for holy, and her white materia is gone.
>>
>>744466356
Geralt if he jarpig
>>
>>744476803
So you think Holy magically activated right one nanosecond before sephiroth came there so she just ended her prayer?
Of course not, she needs to continue praying. Sephiroth was able to hold back holy in original, so Cloud needs to go stop him anyway. Thanks to his jenova cells he will want to reunite with sephiroth no matter what aerith says
>>
>>744477286
No Aerith need to let Cloud go an cause meteor first you mean. And again, she lost her white materia.

>>744477456
It's unavoidable for Cloud to want to bring the black materia to sephiroth. If it was avoidable and Aerith knew about it she would tell the party beforehand to prevent the reunion anyway.
She got the materia back.

>>744477572

>>744476593

>>
>>744477790
1. She does have the white materia.
2. Other part of your reply is retardation that I never even remotely implied. By your logic her going to pray in the first place is irrelevant since meteor wasn't cast yet

She lost her materia, it's shown in the game that it fell into the water
She successfully prayed for holy before she lost the materia, and stayed back for nothing because she doesn't have a white materia. She knows Cloud have one but she didn't ask for it back, in fact she encourages him to go to Sephiroth.

>>744479415
So on top of a burial scene, there will also be a scene where Cloud swam into the lake and find the white materia and gave it to Aerith, probably telling her to stay back to stop meteor? After that he wanders about his own white and black materias, then goes off to cause meteor?

Replaying Remake in tandem/succession with Rebirth is really opening my eyes up to how devoid Rebirth is of level content. The caves and whatnot that normally comprise this are all hallways with a fork here and there (not that the original is much better in this regard, but it is a step down from Remake). It makes for something a little awkward when the level content of Rebirth is in the open world, being that it's not much of an open world at all but rather has intentional routing and gating, but it's delegated between all these fixed and predetermined objectives. I did wind up enjoying it but still was less consistently engaged with it than I am with Remake.

>>744487325
Something I meant to mention is how, for lack of an open world or any facsimile in Remake, traditional level content winds up being the vast meat of the entire game, so it makes for a jarring contrast with how greatly Rebirth lacks it. I still did enjoy the hubs in the end, but I'm hoping Revelation improves at least in terms of ability to sequence objectives with where you travel on the Highwind, and that there is some meaningful repercussions of doing this in different ways even if it's simple RPG logic "stuff is too strong here" or "you lack an item to do all you can here."

all of the games themes are centered around it. The clear materia is Chekovs gun. It's also a call back to Sephiroths final words in Advent Children.

Cloud will be forced to 'let Aerith go', allowing holy to work. The clear materia will turn white, and they'll save the world. The entire Gi sub-plot is highlighting how important being able to die is.
>>
>>744494395
If you finished rebirth you would realize the revelation keyart already spoiles she will reunite with main party at some point.

Just did the summon monster-doubles boss rush, fighting Gilgamesh is about all I have left for this playthrough. At least barring shit like the mini-game hard modes. I wound up doing Phoenix/Kujata first which took the biggest hassle out of the way quick. Got a kick out of Odin's description though and how it personifies him, game basically hits you with the "don't get hit" and is like "if Odin thinks you're a scrub bitch then he gets sad and just fucking kills you, so hit him a bunch of times really hard until he dies."

>>
>>744502927
I don't know if my verbiage aligns with yours but I do think that they're doubling down on the Planet being a living thing by giving it a form of consciousness. Like something along the lines of how the Lifestream reincarnates people and thereby shapes the surface from within, there's some sort of "mind" at work there.

Yeah basically, although I'm 99% confident how it works is Nomura and Nojima will pull from Persona 5 Royale's ending since they have no originality. Sephiroth offers Cloud a perfect alternate universe where Sephiroth is God and nobody ever dies including Aerith and Zack but it can happen only if Cloud allows the meteor to hit and Sephiroth becomes God. That's the "eternity" crap he keeps talking about.

I suspect Nojima is making the planet/Lifestream sort of like eldritch beings in Steven King worlds, where time isn't linear exactly for them unlike mortals. if someone gets a glimpse into the lifestream, that's how they can see shit from "the future" and such.

No yeah, Jenova never could either. As far as I knew that was always the case, and it explained why Sephiroth is still around for Advent Children. What I meant was, it's not just the planet being a dick to them. It just literally cannot digest them because they're foreign.

It might just be a translation thing (since we know now that the OG FF7 had a number of liberties with its translation), but I just played it recently and the English OG refers to Jenova simply refusing to join the Lifestream after its defeat. Main reason I noted it was because of Rebirth handling it differently

I think that's Jenova's "in". Sephiroth is native overall still, just altered.
It's just that Sephiroth overtakes Jenova pretty much.
>>
>>744505465
The pocket worlds aren't real. They are lifestream hopes and dreams. He's not killing Aerith in her happy date world. He has no power there. We will get to see what happens after she sends her materia mule Cloud off.
>>
>>744505639
>He's not killing Aerith in her happy date world. He has no power there.
To be fair we don't truly know the meaning of Sephiroth "killing" that Aerith in the Lifestream yet since she's clearly still in there.
>>
>>744505731
It will be fun to watch for her yellow broach like a Stamp dog.
>>
>>744505731
I don't see enough people bring up the fact that Sephiroth uses Masamune to send Zack away, but then when he goes through the church doors to supposedly kill Aerith, he's put away Masamune. Why would he put away his sword when walking into the room with someone he intends to murder? It doesn't add up. There is definitely more to it.
>>
>>744505639
>those worlds are not real but the white materia is real tho
Pure retardation
>>
>>744505943
nta but materia is literally memories of the planet/people who passed. that's been a thing since OG
>>
>>744505857
Exactly. He used his sword to yeet Zack into the rest of the lifestream showing how unreal these worlds are while Aerith does the same thing to Cloud by just pushing him. He came to chat.
He's also trying to find her in the lifestream to talk before she dies in any world.
>>
>>744506087
So the white materia is not real?
>>
>>744505857
>>744506127
That's interesting, never considered that he was maybe going just to talk or negotiate or whatever.
>>
>>744505943
It worked or the Rebirth world is just as fake as the date/sleeping forest "dreams"
>>
>>744506191
i don't understand how you're confused. do you think materia is not real in general?
>>
>>744506268
No just the one Cloud got from the dream date world
>>
>>744506302
again, materia is literally memories of the planet/people who passed.
they're (more than likely) in the lifestream. what is the lifestream?
>>
>>744506224
If you go watch the scenes back, it goes exactly like this:
>Sephiroth approaches the church, you can clearly see both of his hands, no Masamune
>Zack is startled by him being there, Sephiroth turns around and suddenly Masamune is in his hand, he cuts the fabric of reality and banishes Zack
>as Zack is falling into the void, there's a shot from behind of Sephiroth opening the doors without Masamune in hand
>later, when he comes through the doors from behind Aerith from Cloud's POV, he still doesn't have the sword
So, he pulls it out exactly at the moment he needs it to deal with Zack, then immediately puts it away, and it's consistent across these different scenes that he goes in there without it brandished. You could argue that since he can just summon it into his hand whenever it's needed that it would make little difference to him if he had it out before seeing Aerith or not, but if we were meant to interpret that scene as "Sephiroth is coming to murder Aerith" why not just have him keep the sword out for visual purposes? Sometimes I worry that these games are turning me schizophrenic, but that's how it's shot.
>>
>>744506247
I actually know the dream date and forest scene are fake, just that omni Aerith was really killed in the dream date world aka chihuahuaverse. And no physical item can pass through worlds including the white materia.
>>
>>744506302
Aeriths materia went from clear to white in the main world and Cloud is holding a duplicate hollow materia. Something material made it through.

Not really, it just seems like you're viewing it from the perspective as a creator/director/writer. Questioning "why is this scene done this way". That's worthwhile for conversation.
>>
>>744506508
No, Cloud was never separated from the party since the temple. He never physically met Aerith, hence he couldn't have given her anything.
>>
>>744489934

>>
>>744506483
Why do you assume she was killed in her dream? She's not praying for Holy then. Cloud isn't there for trauma infliction. The idea of her being killed was max dood or some other streamer going wild with theory crafting.
It's just shocking because Sephiroth + Aerith alone meant bad news in the original game.
>>
>>744506684
>The idea of her being killed
The scene is obviously meant to lead people into thinking that even if it's not what's truly happening, no streamer required.
But the details on a replay (or if looking incredibly closely) leaves room to see that something else is happening.
>>
>>744506618
There are two white materias. The one that fell from Aeriths hair and the one Cloud is looking at in the final scene.
>>
>>744506684
Because she said her goodbyes to Cloud.
>>
>>744506797
Yet Cloud was never physically separated from the party since the temple. Also there's only one white materia, Cloud only got his after burying Aerith in the lake. He only passed the spiritual data to her in the forest scene, he didn't actually get to meet her.
>>

>>744506869

Then what is Sephiroth holding in the revelation trailer?
>>
>>744507235
I'm aware of that, but that doesn't change the fact that he's walking into the same location in both instances for presumably the same reason. As is pointed out in that very image, Aerith was unconscious back at her house in that particular world, so why was Sephiroth walking into that church at all? Why would he think anything of value is there? It's possible that the process of moving between "worlds" for him is such that he could shift himself into whatever was the correct reality he needed to be in, we don't know the extend of his powers or everything about how the worlds function. Why would Sephiroth slowly walk into a church with nothing in it in a random alternate world if it didn't serve his goals in some way?
>>
>>744507471
>Zack: You wanna piece of me?
>Sephiroth: No, not you
Why is Sephiroth so mad at Aerith? Chronology she hasn't done anything yet to warrant a personal vendetta.
>>
>>744507687
In japanese, Zack just says "nani nani?" and Sephiroth responds with something like "with you, it's hopeless." The phrasing is a bit more ambiguous, he didn't imply he wanted a "piece of" Aerith or contradict something Zack had asked. It's possible the localization took some liberties as to his meaning, but who knows.

>>744507843
Yes, I know that. So you can see how it would be slightly strange for Sephiroth to aura walk his way into an empty building with nothing in it but flowers and a few broken planks of wood, right? Unless Sephiroth just assumes the church is "where one finds Aerith" and is literally going to that location in every single world just hoping she'll be there at that particular moment, I have to think that him going there was in some way connected to the later scene even if they are not the same world. As I said, we don't know enough about what he can and can't do or how these worlds function exactly.

Is it possible the clear materia is the black materia somehow? Because Cloud is looking at the clear materia, moves his hand out of frame, then comes back up with the black materia. Not sure how that would work, but the clear materia has to serve some purpose, right?
Also, doesn't the whole thing with the black materia being a mere key to guide you to where the real one is imply that this isn't the original world of FF7? I wonder what that's about.
>>
>>744508582
Some of you need to watch Twin Peaks.
It's probably not literally a different world.
>>
>>744508654
Could you explain what you mean? The black materia physically exists. It is an object that existed somewhere which Sephiroth needed the fake black materia to locate and retrieve, and it was said to not be in this world. I'm not trying to be an asshole, I'm just pointing out that it seemed like there was a weird additional step to retrieving it which implies we are not in the original "worldline" or whatever term you prefer.
>>
>>744508835
i'll take a crack at it, assuming i'm not misunderstanding the reference to twin peaks
it's possible we need to rethink how things "exist". there's our world, and there's this other state of existing (be it dream world, lifestream, whatever). what is "existing" in this other state of being?
you have summon materia. when you summon Titan, where does he come from? materia is made from the memeories and experience and the others of the planet and the lifestream is a sort of flowing state of all that. are Titans being brought into the real world being made out of thin air or being "made into this state of existence" from those memories/other state of being? the game doesn't explicitely say. we just sort of take for granted that magic (from materia) just makes these things exist. Fire, shards of ice, whole beings (summons).
the cetra understand the planet and this other state of being (lifestream). if we can possibly pull things into existence, would it be possible to be put something in it? maybe the black materia "exists" in the lifestream, and the "fake" is the conduit that we can summon that black materia into this world.

or maybe not. just my thought experiment.

I do agree (seems pretty obvious, as we fight Sephiroth alongside her) but what do you make of Cloud and Aerith's little goodbye scene after the final boss fight? Seems logical to assume the Aerith we see at the end of the game is the same one, but I wonder why that part happened if they were still coinhabiting the same splinter world.

As much as I want to believe this, with Gi Nattak narrating the Rev trailer (especially with what he says at the start) and previous ones his VA has done, I’ve got a feeling they’ll find a way to ‘subvert expectations’, make the Gi survive and have him be narrating Cloud’s story during the post-credits ‘500 years later’ part instead of it being with Red XIII.

He had a talk with Sephiroth before that - the whispers that made up the wall and that open the portal for him are all Sephiroth ones. Furthermore if you pay attention to Cloud's actions after he wakes up he is quite calm and tells the party where to go. Even the party is surprised he knows, but they don't know he is just following sephiroth whispers.
I think the 'push' Sephiroth said Cloud needed to join him was Sephiroth showing him he will kill Aerith if he doesn't do as he wants. And what Sephiroth clearly wants is some sort of worldine split at the swordblock
>>

I think while altered, it still aligns closely to the OG goal of the massive planet wound to draw lifestream/spiritual energy from.
Lifestream encompasses the dreams and memories of everyone; despair/trauma might have some increased reaction in how lifestream responds and putting the world (and individuals he needs to do specific things) into the frame of mind might possibly have some kind of benefit towards to eventual wound at the north crater for him to absorb from

as an Aerith chooser and romancer, i dont understand this anti tifa sentiment. Tifa doesnt like Cloud more than as a friend.

Tifa lived with Barrett and Marlene for years in Midgar, together, running a bar.

yall really thought a strong girl like tifa would be into cloud and not a man's man like Barrett.

Crack in the sky is the Reunion Theory. It's showing him where to go to meet Sephiroth. The whisper wall is there to prevent the party to stop Sephiroth from killing Aerith, since Cloud will fail when he passes.

No it doesn't, that's a complete headcanon. There is no poitning direction in the crack
Whisper wall wasn't needed in OG. It's more likely isolating Cloud changes the world split into something better for Sephiroth. He wants cloud to defy destiny for him and block the sword.
When the party arrives he starts merging the worlds together further proving a world split happened

this weird line in Remake(which is also shown in Rebirth) where she says that Sephiroth would say he'd do anything to protect the planet. Obviously in the OG Sephiroth never gave a shit about the planet, but maybe it's not just about Aerith, but he really thinks he's trying to save the planet somehow.

Anyway since Aerith seems to indicate that bringing the worlds together is not the natural order of things I'm starting to lean towards the idea that Aerith does end up living but the worlds have to separate again at the end of Revelation. That way Cloud can have his same lines about wanting to meet Aerith at the Promised land but they're recontextualized in that he means he could find his way into the other world instead of dying to be with her. My only issue with it is that it's basically just the Loveless ending again and isn't very definitive, and the devs seem to really want to make a definitive ending to FF7 this time
>>
>>744511332
>Why didn't everyone stop Sephiroth in the OG?
Because that's how the story was told? Nothing was preventing the party from following cloud to the platform. The whisper wall was a deliberate addition in order to make sure the party doesn't see what Cloud sees hapening (blocking the sword)

Aerith and Tifa gossip in secret to each other ALL GAME. they already hashed out who has dibs on whom, and they team up to test Cloud to see if he makes the right choice - hint it's Aerith.

Tifa pulls the "my bestie buddy from childhood" with some light flirting to get a read on him. But Tifa's type is huge, burley muscle men like her mentor Zann and Barrett, not a lean type like Cloud.

like ugh /v/ do you even?

Em no Cid is very casual. While the whole party is doom and gloom (besides Cloud) he just casually repairs the airship and asks "so what did aerith do aynway?"
No one even answers him clearly showing the difference in perception of what just happened

I think Revelation should have Cloud and Tifs bang under the Highwind except Tifa doesn't realize that from Cloud's POV a bedroom-eyes Aerith is also there and is encouraging him to pleasure Tifa for her enjoyment, which is what's actually exciting Cloud.

Difference is Cid is never shown to grieve unlike the rest of the party.
Yuffie, Tifa, Barret, Red - all clearly super sad
Vincent - hard to say he is a 24/7 emo

Cid is the outlier and it's not like he doesn't care for Aerith - he went out of his way to help Aerith before and cared for her mother too. Even in OG he laments how he wanted to give Aerith a ride on the airship.
>>
>>744512709
He's grieving at the pool scene. Not to the extent of the others, but clearly distressed.
This is all an incredibly big stretch from you honestly.
>>
>>744512709
cid is sort of an old school type. other than anger, he's the type that'd keep that kind of emotion buried until he's alone.
barret is also (attempting) to be that type, but he's a care bear and has to put on glasses when he's in that state.

it all looks normal to me around a death.
>>
>>744512806
He looks more confused than grieving to me. But I admit it's unclear. Guess part3 will show. I still think cid will have some special role if he was planned to see the rift

That probably depends on what other things they were planning before that scene honestly. No reason to assume that it'd be with the exact same context that we ended up with.

Yeah a scene similar to this, but extended and with romantic dialogue would be ideal if they don't end up reviving her. Hamaguchi has been so vague in all his interviews and the latest one doesn't help. All I know for certain is that the love triangle will go on forever.

“It’s more that I don’t want people to focus just on the ending. I’m aiming to create a game that will make people feel ‘I’m glad they made the Remake series’ or ‘I’m glad I was able to see the FFVII Remake series through to the end’ when they look back on the whole trilogy. The ending might be fully faithful to the original, or it might end up being something completely different. Or perhaps, it might go in a direction no one could have imagined in the first place. I’d like everyone to experience it for themselves.”
>>
I would put money on them having her come back, as in rejoining the party and everything, but having her die at the end, something about it being necessary to stop jenova/sephiroth. With this they get to say that all the teasing, hints, and foreshadowing wasn't completely meaningless, and they get to say 'see we didn't really change anything, it's still the same tragic love story.'

Cid strokes his neck when upset. When talking about Ifalna, and after Aerith's death, we see him grip his neck.

>There will be romance regardless if they do a FFX parting of them in the end.
I mean yeah sure, but it won't be explicitly romantic. It's how the last date in chapter 14 is non-optional, but Cloud has two different dialogues. He can either say something that confirms another date (high affinity) or give a more lax response. Either way Aerith confesses her own romantic feelings, we the player pick how Cloud feels so I don't see them giving us non-optional romantic content for either love interest. But it is weird how they gave us the hand-holding ngl.

To Aerith, Tifa is like a delicious and very maleable ice cream that is waiting to be licked.

If anything, Aerith is baffled by Cloud not pounding the lovely booby bird.

He talks about it because the retarded interviewers keep asking him about whether the ending is going to lead to AC when that is not what they actually said.

AC clearly has a lot of references already, Cloud's "I'm coming for you" line is a big reference to AC which is why Aerith reacts the way she does to it

I mean, he was staring at Tifa the whole time, both being cute and shy then Tifa does her breasts to confess before cowarding out again, then Cloud meets her the rest of the way and they kiss.

I think ultimately cloud is at his most confident when needed, Aerith can play the damsel role for him happily, but Tifa legit needs him, she just not brave enough to admit it, unlike Aerith.

I think Aerith being more mature is kinda big sistering tifa, she Knows Tifa is down hard for cloud and might be pushing and tugging them together. letting Tifa show he needy side so cloud can save her, and encouraging tifa to take more chance with him.

cloud didn't seem super interested in Tifa in Remake when she was his confident care taker, but seemed more interest after Aerith joined the picture and wounded her confidence.

you sure? he barely looked at Aerith who was doing most fo the work, while cloud repeatedly stared at tifa when she wasn't looking several times and both flinched when she caught him staring.. plus he very much took charge when Tifa worried about making assumption of their relationship and he told her she wasn't wrong at all and kisses her. i mean, yes they are childhood friend and unsure where they are now, but its pretty definitive, he doesn't kiss anyone else...

EHHH. She clearly has a thing for him, but it's something that develops over the course of the game. He's a very good friend and the last link to her childhood for most of the game. It crosses over into romantic affection when she realizes how losing him affects her.

eh... in the origenal game she waits by the entrance to Nibleheim for him at dawn hoping to see him, ends up hiding when she sees it sephiroth, a solider and two shinra troops. she was hoping to see cloud.

plus she acts pretty affectionate in the first act of Remake to cloud and with confidence, cloud doesn't seem to be interested though, Tifa's confidence only takes a hit when Aerith shows up and she worries she might be out of her league.

>>
>>744524641
They did kinda reference Aerith wanting to find the real cloud in main storyline as a continuation of her date.
But I think the most likely thing is they reference it in the aerith route. I fully expect him to pull out that photo he took with aerith in part3 too.
>>
>>744524972
i mean to be fair all three of them were talking about zack at one point. to figure out what is going on and also who Aerith's lost ex was.
>which makes tifa feel like a second option even on her own date.
I mean that kinda tracks, Tifa is ironically super shy and tends have a self defeating bias when comparing herself to Aerith, aerith is older and more self assured, Tifa not so much, she is too accustomed to losing people, putting her into the desperate state of wanting to get closer, but wondering if avoiding further heart break is better. its probably why when cloud confirms he does love her is takes her by surprise and shock. she was feeling safe assuming she was an option rather than his first choice. now she has alot more to lose. alot of Tifa's character struggles are having a big heart plagued with emotional indecision.

FF7 remake didn't do a good job translating the FF7 art style to modern realistic graphics. The main characters look weird and wrong and kind of plastic. A lot of the random NPCs look way too much like real people (and 50% of them are black lol) so there's a bizarre clash.

Not even remotely comparable to him literally worrying about aerith's feelings for zack.
It's like if he said he is thinking about tifa's feelings for emilio on aerith's date.
>>
>>744525627
might also be a hint that even Aerith suspects cloud's actual identity problem, In the origenal tifa ia vegue too, again mentioning that Aerith would come out and say it, but basically its either her chickening out on ANOTHER change at confession, or chickening out of telling him his memories are accurate and bullshit at the same time, even she doesn't understand how that works, which is why she bottles it up... again.

Why are people confused about this scene? Aerith is clearly confessing that she has romantic feelings for Cloud in this moment, regardless of his dialogue. He either implies another date (which makes Aerith very happy if you watch her reaction) or he goes "sure why not" which is less romantic. If you get the high affinity answer, Aerith confesses knowing that what she feels surpasses anything she ever felt before. If you get the low affinity answer, Aerith confesses knowing that her feelings and Cloud's aren't lining up since hers are romantic and his aren't.

did Tifa even LIKE Emilio? I mean if we are talking about the scene in the in, theres like three reasons why she is telling that story, (might need to watch in japanese to see the intent)

but 1. she is still probing for memory overlaps, she knows he knows about Emilio... or should... but he seems not interested and she shuts down growing more worried he is not her cloud.

2. she is possibly being toxic, seeing if cloud assumes she is interested in emilio (for all we know this story is made up why would Emilio and his hot GF go to a drve bar in the slums?) cloud seems annoyed and made Jealous as she talks about Emilio being grown up, but then he visibly deflates she mentions the GF, like he is relieved, suddenly she realizes he might infact had a crush on her if he reacts this way and she tries to drop the story and stop playing this game.

3. she wants to know where cloud is in his relationship with Aerith and uses this Emilio story as an analog to find out, but cloud catches on too soon and she gets embarrassed and drops it.

these are all tests but the motive behind them is not known, but tifa does own up.

>>
>>744526570
I think the Aerith cloud storyline is the typical japanese tsundere storyline.

there is a childhood friend and foriegn magic pixie dream girl who is everything the hero wants and needs becasue he doesn't need to grow for her, but the childhood friend and the hero both have to grow to make this arc happen, the magic pixie dream girl acts as a catalyst. for examples read any rumiko takahashi manga.
>>
>>744526506
i disagree, but it doesnt matter. we're not going to get cloud rejecting aerith or tifa in their optional content since the optional content is made specifically to give us shipping material. and theyre not going to have cloud reject them in the main storyline cause that would take away players choice. we're going to get an open ending regardless of what happens to aerith. if they really wanted a definitive endgame, they would have removed or tweaked the affinity systems for either girl
>>
>>744526573
I mean I don't deny the kiss is romantic, but it is tainted with cloud worrying about aeriths feelings before hand.
And of course it's optional. While Cloud and Aerith holding hands like that is shown several times in canon.
>>
>>744526664
there is already a bunch of aerith and zack shippers out there and zack is getting screen time, trust me, Aerith is going to get zack back, and cloud is going to have tifa, the girl he's crushed on since he was a kid.

well I have been looking over comments from that video clip and its insane how many interpretations people rationalize out of that one scene as an OG game fag I would take the answer that would put tifa's suspicions to rest, rather than the one that rizzes her, but also avoid the question. but clearly tifa is grappling with a storm of questions and emotions she is not sharing (lockhart) but to me its what deem if this scene is worrisome or sweet.

but in your typical japanese family, you are expected to go with the childhood friend, thus why the magic pixie dream girl becomes the first choice.

in the original game she is juggling multiple possibility, including and not limited to him being a clone. and she doesn't want to lose the clone either! that's why she is a character that you can't help but feel sorry for.

>She has no idea that he's larping in many of their interactions. true but understand from her POV he left for Midgar 7 years ago and then she finds him 7 years later amound the gibbering Sephiroth clones that have been showing up, but seeing her sparks a memory. and he claims he was at solider the whole time, she buys this untill he tells the story at kalm, some of it completely wrong or strangely accurate. she has no clue why. tifa is trying to work with logic and facts, while aerith just has vibes guiding her.

Also I want to expand on this. There are players who seem to believe whatever Cloud feels for Aerith is cause he has Zack's entire personality which is false, and that what Aerith feelings for Cloud is related to Zack also false because even in the OG she confirms she wants to meet the real him. In Part 3, the real Cloud will emerge and we're more than likely going to get a Zerith reunion (albeit it will not be romantic) so the whole "they don't actually like eaach other for their true selves" delusion will be put to rest for good. A Clerith kiss happening between true!Cloud and an Aerith (who gets closure and reaffirms that Cloud is the one she now likes) makes the most narrative sense for their story. I would even argue that the Tifa kiss happened too early for their own separate story.
