Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Aerith Date and Loveless Play

[@НикитаСимонян-ж5е]

The plot of the play was 100% made for Aerith to be Rosa. It fits Cloud and Aerith story

[@BeccaMoranguinho]

And is. It shows in credits

[@monca1222]

Nah fr, it foreshadows so much and references several things in OG + CC. The fact that Aerith always sings at the end shows their intent because having her there as the date will let her theme play in the end after she finishes her song when giving a bow to the audience. Her date is also the only one that explains why Jessie, Biggs and Wedge shows up as well...

[@ChoompaLoompa1985-uw8lw]

And Barret as Dragon King Varvados xD No love story is complete without Barret.

[@Pringlessingles]

If you look at the other dates, during the twirl we see that yuffie spins too early causing her to trip, tifa spins too late making cloud pull her, but aerith is perfectly on cue. It’s a little thing that I thought was cool

[@Jtpyo]

Aerith is canon for Rosa play fr

[@NPC1173]

Yes definitely, especially when she pulled out the staff.

[@ultimamage3]

Aerith appears more times as Rosa than not; under her romance route, and under Red's, Barret's, and Cait-Cid-Vincent's routes. and both Red and Barret talk about her to Cloud.

[@bladerj]

you know what is important ? trailer and credits are canon, and in credits aerith is rosa, and in the trailer they blatantly showed cloud holding the petal, wich means, the aerith high intimacy date is the canon one. as player we can like or ship whoever we like,its an rpg and so far the game allows for either, but in the end of the day the creators need a fixed narrative to move the story to other mediums, and they clearly picked aerith. and lets not forget, they released the trailer a day before clerith day, that was intentional.

[@Jtpyo]

@@bladerj also canon Rosa’s weapon is a wand and Aerith is the only one who uses it among the team!

[@elizadoolittle9657]

her date is the only one that gets referenced later on in the game as well... *SPOILERS* - - 1. she tells him to focus on his true self in the sleeping forest, referring to her saying she's trying to find him 2. they interlock hands after they fight Sephiroth

[@elizadoolittle9657]

Cloud is so shy and awkward when he first holds her hand and looks at her 😂🥰🥰🥰🥰 that's so him

[@sharynmorgan944]

It's really hard to tell with Cloud, he doesn't seem to be much in the moment either in some parts of the date.

[@xmant8842]

​@@sharynmorgan944cloud was really shy, as well as still unsure on how aerith truly felt about zack. Once she assured him that she was really happy being with him, he let himself get vulnerable and "made a move" by holding her hand with interlocked fingers(which I've heard is a big romantic thing in japan) and they hold onto each other's hands tighter after cloud says something that got "drowned out by fireworks"

[@auroraferreira7533]

I love this date scene so much! Aerith confessing to Cloud she wants to be with him and the way cloud holds her hand all shy ❤

[@sharynmorgan944]

It would have been better if he took his gloves off so they could have skin on skin, it would have been more intimate. I was personally disappointed with the gondola date, the play was good but they kept on getting interrupted.

[@auroraferreira7533]

​@@sharynmorgan944 Have you seen the part Aerith sings to Cloud with max affinity? They look at eachother the whole song and the way she looks at him at the end! No doubd now. NPTK is Aerith singing to Cloud. The theme song of the game. And the last third of the game is ALL them.

[@bladerj]

@@chloegreene5174 the yellow petal falls and cloud picks it, and they share look

[@salazar556]

"But you're not him, and that's okay." That line was such a powerful one. It shows Aerith grew to love Cloud for who he truly is and learned to separate him from Zack.

[@chloegreene5174]

Clerith evidence in the Loveless play (🚨INCLUDES SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE COMPILATION SO FAR INCLUDING REBIRTH🚨): - Alfreid (can’t be bothered to check the spelling sorry lol) wields a sword, and no matter who plays Rosa (Tifa or Yuffie), the princess wields a magical staff. Hero is a swordsman, heroine wields a magical staff- remind you of anyone? The heroes of Loveless just like the heroes of ff7 have to work together despite their tragic separation to stop their enemy: Cloud must defeat Sephiroth, simultaneously conquering his problems with his self-image etc, and Aerith must summon Holy to stop meteor. They tell each other this in the final cutscene of Rebirth. - Cait Sith refers to a chance encounter that ends in a tearful goodbye: only Cloud and Aerith encounter this tearful goodbye. Additionally, in the Remake soundtrack, the piece that plays when Aerith and Cloud first meet in the Remake timeline is called “Chance Meeting in Sector 8”. - in the orchestra portion, there’s a few things. One, the hero is blonde and the heroine is a brunette: that’s clerith. Second Jessie has her angel wings and the actor is dressed as a knight: this seems to be a parallel to Baz Lurhman’s Romeo + Juliet film in which the titular couple meet in such costumes (also Juliet is a brunette and Romeo is a blonde), and Hirunobu Sakaguchi (concept creator in the OG game) was such a huge Romeo and Juliet fan (tragic lovers) that he wanted ff7 to be like a dystopian world twist of the play. Then there’s also the dance moves at 4:25, I recommend you slow the video down to follow them: the heroine’s back arches and her arm makes a gesture like something is coming out from her middle, while in front of her the hero clutches his head with horror and pain: Sephiroth’s masamune impales Aerith, shooting out from her middle, and Cloud’s heart is broken, never to be repaired. - Cait Sith refers to Rosa as an indomitable princess, that screams Aerith. She’s so princess and she’s so indomitable lol. Long pink dress, wields magical staff, has a responsibility and duty toward the world (planet) as part of the monarchy (Cetra), graceful yet spunky with tons of character and knows what she wants, sassy as hell, wise yet youthful… that’s Aerith, through and through. - Cait refers to Alfreid as someone who trued very hard to be a hero but failed, which is an arc that Cloud struggles with a lot. First he wanted in SOLDIER and didn’t get in, then he blamed himself for his friends’ deaths, etc. - The demon king Varvados is a clear Sephiroth parallel: he fears true love and wants to foster the hero’s thirst for vengeance (“Good, Cloud. Fill your hollow heart with rage” & before entering the temple he says that spite and sorrow will feed the planet, which I suspect is his goal in the Remake series, aka using Cloud’s strife as some kind of weapon or tool he can use somehow). He refers to Afreid as a puppet, he refers to himself as the master and Alfreid as his cur, obviously he opposes the main hero and heroine… it’s very clear Varvados is a Sephiroth stand-in. - No matter who plays Rosa, the hero and heroine’s parting words heavily echo a certain special scene between Cloud and Aerith in Kingdom Hearts that goes like this… C: It's nothing. A: [Playfully pushy] Hmmm...? C: I don't want you involved. A: You mean you don't want me there when you go away again? C: I just - Listen, even if I go far away, I'll come back. A: Do you mean it? C: [Looks away] Yeah. A: See? You don't look so sure. Well, okay, I understand. Go - get things settled. C: Huh? A: No matter how far away you are... once you find your light... I'm sure it will lead you back here again. Right? C: I suppose. A: So I'll stay here - and I'll cheer for you - Okay, Cloud? C: Okay. The interesting thing is that in the Loveless scene, the heroine is the one who is unsure while the hero is determined, as opposed to the unsure Cloud and steadfast Aerith in the Kingdom Hearts scene. I have my theory as to why that is but that’s too long, all that really matters is in both scenarios the hero is leaving to get something done and the heroine will wait for his return. - Obviously no matter who plays Rosa, Aerith’s own song (written by her) was selected to close off the show. This means what she wrote is representative of the story, and she wrote about Cloud and their tragic fates, fostering the hope that in some eorld they could be together evermore. As she sings the reunion flowers bloom. - Then there’s the fact that if you try to be nice to everyone equally and not favor anyone, or if you favor Barret or Nanaki rather than the girls, Rosa is played by Aerith by default. - When Aerith plays Rosa, she I’m sure I’m missing something too!! This tragic play, an echo of Sakaguchi’s love for Romeo and Juliet, truly highlights the greatness of the love story between Cloud Strife and Aerith Gainsborough, ff7’s power couple. This time I’m certain they will get their canon happy ending; I’m willing to print out this entire comment, put it in a blender with water and chug it so I can literally eat my words if it doesn’t happen. Beaaaaaauuuutiful gorgeous this game had so much good clerith stuff yall they fed us soooooo well in the canon, non-affinity point related scenes. OOOOOF I ate that shit up. Hope you guys enjoy!!!!❤❤❤

[@francouribe5983]

They can't stay together (due to the franchise's plot), but they love each other. I think she will live and reunite with Zack and live in another world and he will stay with Tiffa, knowing that they both (Cloud and Aerith) have true feelings for each other, but accepting that they have to move on. And they will be happy knowing that they save each other.

​@@laniii2404 The Cloti date really just felt like fan service more than anything. It felt pretty awkward, considering Aerith still sings her song for Cloud. It also made Tifa look bad because she lies about talking to Aerith regarding Zack, which implies she did that so Cloud loses interest. When Aerith lies, it makes sense and only confirms she wants Cloud. The only thing I like more about the Cloti date is that they had a meaningful conversation about Jessie.

[@jessielou9138]

​@@sharynmorgan944 it isn't that weird if you see it from the perspective that the song can also talk about Zack and Aerith, the way they met (which is pretty much the same as Cloud's), and the fact he wasn't able to come back to her until they reunite in the lifestream.

[@nachamu99]

@@jessielou9138 Although in the end, it is still the song that plays right after Cloud and Aerith say their goodbyes and he makes a promise. So plot-wise, it doesn’t make sense with Tifa as Rosa and Aerith sings it about Zack. She also glances at him when she sings “until I met you” so it’s kind of weird to think anything different. But regardless, these dating mechanics are just for fun and with no significance to the main story. I do think its more convincing that Aerith is the default though. That they both go on these multiple dates, eventually leading up to their very last, and ending in tragedy.

[@jessielou9138]

@@nachamu99 that's why I'm saying the song seems to be written to fit both Cloud and Zack, because as you just said, it's odd to have Aerith singing and glancing at Cloud on a gameplay in which Tifa has the max intimacy points and thus they appear holding hands. The oddness can disolve if one simply assumes she's singing about Zack as Cloud and Tifa hold hands, because again, there isn't such a thing as a canon ship in this game yet the developers find ways to make the narrative work regardless of who Cloud pursues romantically or not.

[@emmanuelliong6385]

[@nan-3082]

No, cloud and Aerith are really good friends, they cannot have the romance, the fundamental feeling’s on Cloud differences in between Aerith and Tifa is that, Aerith likes cloud because she saw Zack on Cloud, though she enjoy being with Cloud, occasionally flirting with him, the bottom line still lies her affection on Zack, getting Closer to Cloud will give her false hopes of getting closer to Zack. If there were a kiss, it will ruined the setting that Aerith still miss Zack and wish to see him. However, on the other hand, Tifa doesn’t see anybody else on Cloud, She likes Cloud himself, and want to have Cloud’s attention when they were children, and that’s why when Cloud gave Tifa his “attention”, they can have romantic scenes, like kiss, maybe more in the future 😈

[@francisco24slb1]

Well... your point of view is valid. I feel somehow deceived, as a player (cloud) since the remake I confess that I loved Aerith and now seeing this is... I don't even know how to explain it, it seems like I saw an illusion, something that didn't exist I always believed that there was something between Cloud and Aerith... even though Aerith thinks that Cloud and Zack were similar, I always thought that this was something that only happened in the initial phase... and that later she really tried to break down your walls and get to know the person. Besides, Cloud did things with Aerith that he didn't do with anyone else... with her he was better @@nan-3082

SE doesn't seem to realize that they just made the entire profession of acting pointless in FF7's world. Why bother doing it when your performance is just going to be overwritten by VR audience participation anyway and will never be seen? Also, the other girls had no right to intrude on Jessie's domain. This was HER stage, HER play, HER role, and the entire sequence should've been for HER alone. And she's not necessarily dead - her body still hasn't been shown AFTER the plate collapse to prove it. Just because someone says something doesn't necessarily make it true. They could only be speaking from what they THINK is true. But until a visual, physical post-collapse reveal of Jessie's body is provided, she can still be alive & return in Part 3. Anyone who thinks differently has forgotten Rufus in the OG and how he was clearly portrayed as dead after Weapon's attack until AC revealed otherwise. The same can easily happen with Jessie.

they know cloud/tifa fans wants fanservice and rushed the relationship with a kiss without actually solving any of their issues. cloud/aerith is more tasteful and feels more rewarding, they will probably kiss in part 3 !!

Sorry but cloud kisses tifa😂😂😂

[@2Good2BeTrue45]

That kiss was honestly superficial. Plus it felt like the "cool guy Zack soldier" persona kissing Tifa, not Cloud "himself". Cloud himself was present with Aerith, hence why them holding hands has far more significance, especially due to the fact Cloud is wrestling with the fact Aerith flat pit told him not to fall in love with her, despite his objections. He is also being compared to Zack, which is also bruising his ego. So for Cloud to finally have that intimate moment with Aerith shows true character progression and even when sense in regards to the context of the story, given Cloud's emotional state. Even Cloud with Yuffie had more of a peek into his real personality

Not this account again, the desperation lmao

lol you are funny aerith is dead and that the important thing @@2Good2BeTrue45

Yes, he kissed her in the OPTIONAL scene (not canon) and he kisses her after Tifa lied and says something to conflict him more. It's a rebound Kiss....and not canon. Glad it's optional cause it'll make Cloud look like a douche..kissing Tifa despite having feelings for Aerith, but kissing someone isn't new at Japanese games anime, I remembered the protagonist of Classroom Elite and Oshi no ko, kissing their tools.
