just my two favorite green eyed pretty pink magical girlies aerith and zelda talking abt their blonde blue eyed cool sworded bodyguard boyfriends and their favorites flowers (again)
“Is Tifa always strong and confident like her fans claim?”
No ✅
The devs actually confirmed this with Rebirth’s release by stating she has trouble asserting herself.
A ship so mid that 90% of their affection scenes have an Aerith mention.
It’s almost as if they have nothing to bond over besides a (superficial) childhood friendship and shared trauma.
I love how the devs OPENLY admit that Cloud & Aerith have growing romantic feelings for each other.
In Remake, the entirety of Chapter 9 is built around this concept.
Multiple Ultimania / Dev quotes saying:
- Cloud's heart is racing when Aerith gets closer to him.
- Cloud smiles when he realizes Aerith wants to spend more time with him.
- Cloud's time with Aerith is described as "enjoyable" and "precious".
- Cloud considers everything Aerith did with him to be "kind."
- Cloud and Aerith's time together was described as "important"
- Cloud and Aerith's time together was described as "sweet" and "romantic"
- Cloud's heart skips a beat when Aerith flirts with him.
Like CIotis are in MAD denial for claiming these were "forceful" moments Cloud didn't want to participate in.
Aerith has literally been openly romantically interested in Cloud since they met. She has been very honest and upfront with her romantic intent in front of everyone, including Tifa. She has gone on multiple dates with Cloud, talked about their dates in front of the others, including Tifa. She has asked both Cloud and Tifa if they were into each other, they both said no.
And yet Tifa still lusts after her "best friend's" crush.
Aerith is not the "backstabber" here.
Also — in both OG & #FF7R, Cloud vows to rescue Aerith from Shinra HQ
If Cloud secretly hated Aerith, why is he rescuing her, and fulfilling his romantic bodyguard agreement?

aerith is a character written to be LIKEABLE for the player so her death devastates you, not an interloper you should look forward to get rid of. if shipping cloud with tifa is what’s villainizing her in your eyes, maybe consider your ship is what’s wrong and not the character

THISSS. why does nobody ever bring up jessie? she’s much more friends with tifa than aerith and she hits on cloud like crazy, kissing him and all, but no cloti has a problem? almost as if only aerith comes off as a threat/homewrecker cause only aerith elicits interest from cloud
