May as well add my two cents here too.
Here's the thing I'm not really seeing in what Q is claiming--Aerith seeing that Cloud wasn't himself. Not until he pounds the shit out of her does she sense something is 'wrong' with him--even with her Cetra abilities.
On their date she says "It used to...
I think Tifa was dealing with Cloud just fine in in AC/C. She's not his mother, nor did she act like it, but when he needed a push, she gave it. Cloud needs to work through his emotional bullshit on his own, not have someone hand hold him through it all. And given how Aerith reacted to Barret's...
fake!Cloud = red
real!Cloud = yellow
Pieced together LS Cloud= Orange
Separate entities or not, when Humpty Dumpty is pieced together again the experiences of fake!Cloud will blend with real!Cloud.
There's a lot of commenting on something that really does seem very simple.
But hey, what do...
This.
That's all I'm saying. Cloud was attracted to Aerith. End of.
Do I think he was awaiting date payment? No. Do I think he would have pursued something with her? No. Once the LS scene happens and Cloud finds himself, I think it's very clear with whom and where his emotional attachment...
It still seems that people are assuming attraction= love, or hell, even romance. You can find people attractive without being in love with them--or even still, without loving who you're with any less. Attraction is normal.
You can't profess that Cloud twu loves Tifa with any form of sincerity...
First, Elmyra asks him to leave. Second, the dude had other responsibilities. Not to mention already tweaking feelings for Tifa. He was a member of a terrorist organization, so yeah, holing up all night in a strangers house may not be the best bet. But since you insisted... (and these are off...
Cloud was attracted to Aerith. How is this even up for debate? He was. Fractured, splintered, ZaCloud or whatever WAS attracted to her. I imagine that was very conflicting for him, as his inner Cloud was still jonsing for Tifa, but that's another discussion. Cloud was intrigued at the very...
In my experience (and this doesn't mean EVERY Clerith fan ever) I find that most Clerith shippers like the pairing based on it's 'fantasy/fairy tale' appeal. It's the same kind of "iconic" romance as the Titanic movie of fleeting epic love combined with a bit of the twisted Twilight mentality...
:kiss:
Uhm, again, I must have played a different game. The Highwind scene isn't optional. Variable, yes. And as I mentioned eons ago that variable is NOT Cloud's feelings. The Highwind scene only changes based on TIFA'S affections at the time. Now, anyone that argues Tifa doesn't want Cloud's...
I find it very telling that to 'prove' Clerith you first have to disprove Cloti. In order for Cloud to love Aerith you have to prove he doesn't love Tifa. I have never, ever, seen a Clerith argument that wasn't built on a foundation of attempting to disprove Cloud x Tifa. And yet for Cloti, you...
I must have played the wrong game. As far as I knew the 'love story' of FFVII was so irrelevant they made it a mini-side-game. I could have sworn FFVII was about rebelling against a Planet sucking evil corp. that was hell bent on world dominaaaaaaaation... I really do learn something new every...
Holy flying carpets, this debate is still kicking? Nice. ;)
I am far too lazy to go back and read everything, but I just wanna comment here:
Actually what she asks is: "Did we lose to our memories?" She's not asking him to choose, she's asking if they're so swallowed up by their past and...
