the "Tell me anyway" and "Do I get a say in all this" in all caps is taking me out 😭😭 thank you for this video!

❤️🥺😭❤️

this video is just... beautiful i love how they did the relationship between those two. pls square let us save her this time.

I wanna yell 'dick!' Every time someone steps carelessly on the flowers... Especially in MIDGAR!!! CMON!!! ITS A NASTY LANDFILL! flowers aren't supposed to flourish in a landfill... 😅

I just don’t get it… Clerith is so beautiful to me. They were both deeply wounded people, and their meeting was fate. They connected so quickly and created this special bond unlike others. They were there for one another emotionally when no one else fully was, when no one else could fully understand them. To open up about tough topics and feel ok about being vulnerable. To find comfort in one another + give each other a sense of belonging. They accepted and believed in each other. A lot of CloTis ridicule us by claiming that the high-five meant nothing, but if you pay attention to Cloud and also his connection to Aerith VS other people, you’ll understand why it was in fact such a sweet and important thing to recognize. Their connection is just like this whole new, unexpected yet totally awesome thing. They made each other so genuinely happy in the time spent with each other. Cloud was always different around Aerith and the Cloud I see with her is my favourite side to him. She represents a light in his life. The other ships are fine too, but Clerith has always represented something deeper then the other ships. To me, at least. I interpreted it as Tifa and Zack being above all there to add more depth to Cloud and Aeriths pasts.

I hope Aeris lives

Thank you for recognizing Aeris as the mvp

Okay... I can't finish this Video in the office, I missed her too much I'm gonna cry. Now I know who my waifu is, and it's not a made up stories I made tens of years ago... this is NSFW video for me 😢💔

Because it's aerith that's why

She was a flower which grew out of a pot of dirt.

Aerith will fuckin burn you if she feels she needs too. Tifa can't. Tifa has a preciousness, but Aerith has controlled her evil side.

First of all, I wanted to thank you for all this. This reflection has been incredible. I don't usually tend to watch videos of more than 10 minutes, but this video was special, despite having lasted 19 minutes it fell short, I wanted more, you really have done a great job in the way you present the topic, the visual contrast, the text, the tranquility of your voice and much more, thank you very much. PD: When I was about to subscribe I read the description of this video and I can't believe this is your first video with how well it is done, and how you don't have much more subscribers, you really deserve them. Hope we can see more of you in the future!

I think that Aerith telling Cloud that he can't fall in love with her is actually Cloud being in fear of Aerith rejecting him, but that's what I think.

Like this we begin to understand Tifa a little too. In her own way, she knows she's not Cloud's first choice as she wasn't really a friend to him. He's someone she knows from the past, a childhood happiness that was taken away due to SHINRA's actions. She doesn't want to lose any more of that, and that's why it gets in her way of being emotionally connected to Cloud, especially during part 1. She also knows what really happened and her probing him reveals to her that Cloud genuinely doesn't remember anything. She thinks that he's happier that way until it becomes clear to her that he's not actually. I really don't know how Aerith would have done it had she survived for that reveal. I'm neither for nor against the Cloud/Aerith pairing because it really is explored and expanded on quite well, especially in the remake, but there are some things your lover can't help you with...that's when you need a friend. In the end, Cloud was lucky to have two women who loved him. One for who he is and one who is willing, no matter how reluctantly, to let him go.

that's why I'm into areith more than Tifa

*"The eyes are the windows to the soul"* Tifa: I suppose it's.. yeah.. your eyes, they used to be less... (scary) Aerith: Wow.. your eyes. It might not necessarily be fair to compare their reactions but the contrast is undeniable and I think intentional.

She's a Cetra. That's all there is to explain. She wasn't like the rest

Beautiful! I'm crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Aerith in this “remake” I think knows how things go down. She feels it. So does cloud to an extent.

Shirley x Lelouch, Natsu x Lisanna, Aerith x Cloud, etc. The list goes on. Same ship dynamics. And always hated/ignored by the fandom and done dirty by their very own authors. I'm sick and tired of this shit.

tifa is not the other woman, she is the woman!

aerith dies. Cloud/Tifa

Tifa is still better.

to be fair cloud said "I don't dance" not "I can't dance." Also you may be failing to take into account Aerith has future knowledge of all events and knows how to talk to and handle cloud.

The best waifu rivalry for me is not Tifa vs Aerith. For me, it's Jessie vs Aerith.

Aeris...

Man that's cool, but there is one little problem, in this timeline Zack somehow survived. Oooh, it would be interesting to see what happens next

It's because he has Zack's memories and of course, he acts, talks, and thinks like Zack most of the time. The reason why Aerith is so comfortable when she's with him is because she loved someone who had the same characteristics with Cloud which is Zack. This is also same way to Cloud which explains his mood when he's with Aerith. However, Cloud's true memories are mainly focused to Tifa especially his promise about saving and looking after her when he becomes a SOLDIER. It's just shattered right now due to the mixed memories of his and Zack's which is why he have difficulties when he's with Tifa. He still has small solid real memories that can be witnessed after he gave the flower to Tifa and complimented her beauty with his drink as his disguise. Weak disguise. This doesn't mean that his real memories won't come back but also, this doesn't mean that it won't make Cloud pay. Just read some of his history that's why. And also about Aerith...flowers don't last long especially the most precious one.

I haven't played the original and just completed FF7 Remake. All the time when Aerith was not with Cloud, I missed her presence while playing the game. And I am so happy that they didn't kill the wonderful soul that is Aerith this time. Totally hopeful for a good ending even if they don't end up together I hope Aerith survives till the end.

A tad late here on me to see this vid, but I will say that its easily apparent that Tifa/Cloud has more to do with people you were once close with but became estranged. Cloud's faith in Tifa 'being alright' has a lot to do with how he remembers her as a strong-willed, self-empowered and well-adjusted girl. He puts trust in her headstrong personality, but fails to see the vulnerable side of her. Tifa who saw Cloud as that special friend she was attached to and relied on, saw the changes in him and became afraid of those changes. It was clear that the two's estranged relationship heavily relied on the ghost familiarity of their past and not their present; easily blind yet able to put faith in what they had before. Though Tifa/Cloud was special in their own right, Aerith/Cloud really signifies something interesting. Aerith, in many respects is more emotionally perceptive and easily exudes the fragile girl on face-value among others. But her emotional intelligence easily allowed Cloud to be open to her because she addresses everything that is the present him. That perceptiveness also came with a balanced look of everyone's needs, where, despite Tifa being more extraverted and relatable among her peers, Aerith's surprisingly Introverted traits enable more room for emotional intimacy with her and Cloud. Its obvious too that Aerith was a true definition of 'not like other girls' in the world riddled in Shinra and the society they live in. She was an outlier among the commerce-induced society or the dregs of the slums. Not because of her heritage, but her depth and perception to be able to reach out to Cloud's loneliness. I'm not starting a war here, but I personally felt that Tifa/Cloud could have been more cherished between them if Tifa was more willing to make time for Cloud and for Cloud to be able to see past her tough exterior and see her vulnerable heart. Cloud easily opened up to Aerith because she was the one to make the first step to making that emotional connection to Cloud while calling out on his Tsundere moments. Cloud's part in that relationship was that he could easily see the vulnerable sides to Aerith that made him more soft around her.

Aerith is such a sweet soul, beautiful in the inside as well as outside! And her theme just beings tears everytime I listen to it.

Cloud really loves Aerith 💞

Aerith is the better girl.

dude its a game. consider some medication if this is so bothering

Cloud only needed to see Aerith's eagerness to see him dance to give in.

I've always liked Aerith since the original game. This video made me love her even more.

Aerith is the best character, by far.

Wow , I didn't notice those things. Thanks for the video.

beautiful.... : ' )

The subtleties man. The subtleties…

Sad all the people who are thinking they dont care for this remake, and haven't even played it. SO F****** GOOOOOOD I didn't think I'd care for this at first... But this is a pretty dope video. Thanks for it!

We all have or had that one person in our life. Cherish every moment.

yes she is good with him, but she is better with Zack and gone she is with him. I love Zack and Aerith the most

Some of the reasons depicted are not really significant enough because the situations are different. One example of that is the situation in which Tifa and in which Aerith possibly is in danger and how the other female reacted to it.

Very good analysis, 100% spot on.

Absolutely choosing aerith than tiffa !! omg !! aerith is so beautiful, cute & very considerate girl !! I can't believe it !! the story of cloud & aerith makes me this emotional !! d*mn !! poor aerith & poor cloud !! why don't just they be together !! it's so heart breaking !! :(

where is the first scene from?

Spoiler… Cloud is gay.

What I really observed on both Tifa and Aerith is their real difference on handling Cloud's edgy and cold personality. For Tifa, Cloud is her childhood friend... and that's the most ultimate feeling Cloud had for her. They are too independent to each other, to the point that they needed no more any assistance or help, as they are really strong on their own and can protect themselves on their own, except on some circumstances that help is really needed (example, the near fall of Cloud after battle to Rufus). But on how they deal with each other's feelings, they are awkwardly not close. Although Tifa is happy on Cloud's return after 5 years of separation, but they still not really close on what we really expect. But inspite of their even personality, Tifa is still a lady with feelings, and she had it to Cloud, but only unrealized to the latter. For Aerith, Cloud is a total stranger, but she recognized him when he landed on her flower bed. In an unexplainable way, these two had this magical compatibility, and their complete far contrast personality is what makes them like that: Cloud as a quiet, cold and awkward person, and Aerith as a jolly, enegertic and charming person. Aerith handled Cloud naturally as a person (no special care needed), and that natural charm of hers made Cloud slowly broke out of his cold shell, and go along with her along their journey, to the point that Cloud learned to socialize. Yeah, Aerith is also strong on her own, but her existence is vulnerable to the Shinra, so when she's already handled by them (not exactly kidnapped, 'coz Tseng didn't use any force to take her actually), Cloud is eager to save her even it is actually too risky as it seems. A romance may not be really evident between Cloud and the ladies, but when it comes to compatibility and handling his character, Aerith had those. But since part 1 is focused on Cloud's visions and his identiy crisis, ships are not really mentioned to both on them, but it added a spice to the story. Waiting for the part 2. 🙂

No because literally maturing is realizing cloud and aerith are soulmates 🤧 this is literally speaking about maturing n shit and looking at true love and happiness yes I like Tifa but now that I'm older and read about it I love aerith and clerith together more and yes I still like tifa
