[@jarosbodytko6462]

I felt the kiss was kinda forced. While I do think it’s Cloud + Tifa and Aerith + Zack (I’m not a shipper, that’s just the dynamic that always struck me as more natural) it doesn’t feel natural that Cloud would just boldly kiss her out of nowhere, in his current state of mind. This felt purely like fan service. The Aerith date feels much more natural and again, I wouldn’t put them together as the couple.

I mean, in the POV of Cloud keeping those feelings to himself since childhood, it wouldn’t feel unnatural. ☺️

[@twodayhero5139]

Love how Red and Yuffie are the kids of the group. Their part with Cloud is wholesome, with Yuffie referencing Zack, making Cloud act just like him, and Red bonding with Cloud even more. I played the original and this version really does flesh out the characters and the original way Cloud was portrayed as a youthful personality. Its the Mako and things that happened to him that shut out his personality and he adopted a fake persona. Love how they just worked the whole origin into Rebirth.

[@EsotericBibleSecrets]

Was she referencing Zack? Wait, did Zack date her and Aerith? I thought Yuffie actually was talking about Cloud, just in a way that she could express without alerting him. The very end where Cloud says if it was he she should let him have it, and then she does, becomes the literal punchline for the joke.

[@GaminexPro]

its interesting how much cloud pays attention to Tifa during there date hes alwats staring at her like he really does love her through out the whole game its kinda been like that

[@perrycarters3113]

I just finished my Tifa date on the Skywheel(I fucking screamed, WE DID IT LADS!)so I came here to see the others. And man, the Aerith one is also so good, but it really hammers home to me that it feels more and more like Aerith is loosely aware of her impending demise. Like, it seems like she's constantly pushing boundaries with Cloud, but she always seems to stop short of making an actual move. To me, she seems like someone trying to squeeze all the living she can out of her final days before Sephiroth comes for her.

[@givmi_more_w9251]

After the scene when Tifa wakes up in Gongaga (God fucking dammit YUFFIE and Cait ... I screamed at my TV xD) I wasn't trusting the scene until they made it there.

[@jeremyfields9009]

Aerith date looks the most cinematic like it’s apart of the games narrative.

[@MegaAndyGG]

Yeah. Tifa cut scene by far the best one!!

[@alexc.7375]

Even though Tifa and Yuffie's dates are the only ones required for 100% completion, I like to think that all of the dates are canon and Cloud just kept going back out on the skywheel. They are all 100% honest to how he feels about each character and none of them contradict anything.

[@Vaquix000]

Yeah I think they did that solidly

[@user-jw9jf2bz7v]

I mean duh

[@EsotericBibleSecrets]

Except that Cloud simply wouldn't ride it over and over again. Unless for some reason he kept forgetting due to his mental state. It would be funny if your relationship with everyone was the absolute worst, Cloud would get a date alone, with some deranged vision of Sephiroth.

I really love how in-depth they make all the characters here. Whether it’s the romantic aspect with Tifa and Aerith, or if it’s just the friendly relationships the rest of the group has, you can really tell how much Cloud cares for all of them, even if he doesn’t know how to show it. It makes the game that much more real

The ending may have been convoluted bs, but they absolutely nailed all the character moments. I feel like that conversation with Nanaki should have happened outside of an optional cutscene though, I actually missed that very impotant detail that they can't see the future anymore. Aerith's description of that was very vague as if she remembered most of it but had an important piece missing

[@Cincelia]

Yuffies and Clouds date was adorable, it might have been the most unconcious natural thing to do for Cloud, like he would get along with Zack and just follow his lead and Yuffie describing him might brought back some nostalgia even without the memory, like his body remembered Zack and made him feel more comfortable

[@aster3881]

The cloud and tifa date is my canon one xD. Fucking love these two.

[@sootythunder3111]

I kind of view it that in OG timeline the canon date was Aerith, however in remake timeline with alterations of events with Sephiroth making a concerted effort to target Tifa and drive cloud away ironically lead to him opening up to her earlier as he begins to let Tifa in and see the things wrong with him allowing him to be vulnerable in front of her, causing this timeline canon date to be tifa (without getting into details this is all due to events that happened in gongaga)

[@StygianStilettosGamer]

#Spoilers Aerith's gondola ride was sweet because Cloud had just remembered how he and Zack were friends, and how in love Zack was with Aerith. And he had just remembered how Zack died supposedly. So he was just trying to comfort a friend, it's really sweet. But obviously Cloud and Tifa, that's where the love story is.

[@delriver77]

The love story is in both mate, but only one of them survived.

[@StygianStilettosGamer]

@delriver77 there is a love story with Aerith, true. It's her coming to terms with the fact that she never got over Zack through her relationship with Cloud and eventually being reunited with him, getting her happy ending with her first love in the afterlife. Cloud's feelings are never confirmed and Aerith has said over and over what her attraction to Cloud is. Was never meant to be, the couples are CT and ZA. No offense but I don't subscribe to the idea Cloud Strife fell in love with and was going to choose a woman he knew three weeks over the girl he's been in love with his entire life. And for no other reason than she's pretty and fun, no less, cause I never get any other real reason as to why besides her being fun and special for being a Cetra.

[@Kidesura]

Personally i always thought Clouds feelings towards Aerith are missplaced due to his hijacked memories. Like how he get nostalgic feelings when he’s with Aerith just because he think he’s Zack sometimes. Those feelings becomes somewhat real later on cuz the experience he had with her and the feelings even if they were based on fake memories are still there. So when he becomes ”normal” again he’s hella confused even if Tifa is the right choice, i feel advent children speaks for itself.

[@delriver77]

@@StygianStilettosGamer the novels show Aerith sees Zack as a friend once both reunite in the lifestream, but she has romantic feelings for Cloud, even the game (Gold Saucer date) tells you she's starting to fall for the actual Cloud, and that she wants to know him better. Cloud's feelings are always mixed between her and Tifa which is no small achievement for Aerith, after all she only spent 2 months with him but left a mark that lasted forever. At the end of FFVII original, the first thing Cloud says is that he thinks he'll be able to meet Aerith "there" (in the lifestream, or the afterlife, whatever you call it). It's ridiculous to take sides and get heated on these topics.

[@delriver77]

@@Kidesura I don't think he recreated Zack's feelings for Aerith, honestly. He imitates the attitude and some gestures, just like I would if I was trying to look lile a cool character from a film I just saw. He also took some of Zack's backstory (SOLDIER) and assumed it to be his own, but feelings for another human being are rather difficult to recreate. IMO she approached him because she was reminded of Zack, and he just started to fall for her without noticing, while her own feelings also matured over time. In Advent Children Cloud's mostly depressed because of his inability to save Aerith in the past, we're not told how he's feeling towards her or Tifa (romantically, we do know that he sees Tifa as family).

@Daybreak6427 not saying that the tifa date was bad. I just personally love Aerith's date more. I love how cute Aerith and cloud are together.

[@ArissaGrandy]

I love cloti but for me the date with aerith is much more intimate, I felt that the kiss was weird and uncanny tbh. I wish it had happen differently, in a more romantic way.

[@vinhdo5871]

@@ArissaGrandy I totally agree! The kiss did seem a bit weird.

Cloud and Aerith’s date was cute, but I honestly get the feeling that their relationship is more like friends who find comfort in one another rather than lovers. Aerith likes Cloud, sure, but it’s obvious at least to me that she still holds feelings of love for Zack as well. She doesn’t want to project that onto Cloud and says she wants to be with *him* but I feel like that doesn’t = to her admitting she doesn’t love Zack anymore, only that she wants to know the real Cloud whether or not they’re together. However, Tifa and Cloud’s date alludes to a more intimate and concrete romantic conclusion, and it makes sense because Cloud’s feelings for Aerith is one of protection and Aerith even admits that she first liked Cloud only cause of Zack. Tifa is the one who truly loves only Cloud for HIM and not because of Zack. Even Yuffie admires Cloud because of Zack. It goes to show for us viewers that the *real* love interest for Cloud is most likely Tifa. (Don’t reply with hateful and disrespectful comments. I’m merely making an unbiased observation. I ship both Cloti and Clerith.)

[@zigywig1711]

That's probably the best analysis I've seen to be honest. To me, Cloud has always liked Tifa but never really knew how to project his feelings cause of his whole situation. Aerith is the one who really helps him break out of his shell, and I think there might've been a short period where Cloud DID have feelings for her. But it was when she started mentioning Zack that he realized those feelings might not have been reciprocated. Despite that he was still smitten by her unrequited compassion towards him that his mind starts to open up about his feelings for Tifa.

[@delriver77]

In the novels it's made clear that Aerith loves Cloud when they show her thoughts in the lifestream. They even go as far as saying that she loved him far more than her first love. As a matter of fact, she finds Zack on the lifestream several times but they just have a friendly relationship. To Cloud however, the narrator always refers as "her beloved". This date is pretty much like the original game, where Aerith says her classic line "I'm searching for you", which I believe to be one of the most romantic lines in the whole franchise. She showed interest on him due to his resemblance to Zack, but right here she's starting to love him for who he is (as his own self starts slowly showing while he gets back fragments of memories). Btw, in the church scene, in the JAP version, she does confess her feelings. Besides Cloud's romantic preference will depend on your choices. At the Gold Saucer, the canon date is Aerith (if the score is even). The game suggests that Cloud loved Tifa all his life and then, Aerith, in less than a couple months, entered the equation. In AC, he lives with Tifa and as two adopted kids (as if they were a couple), but never stops thinking about Aerith, albeit these are feelings of guilt, and constantly goes to their place (church). In my view it's pretty clear that he loved both, and Aerith dying was simultaneously a blessing and a curse for Tifa's future with Cloud.

@@kyranina you seem like a rather educated person, calling people names without any provocation from their side. Maiden isn't confirmed to be canon, but it's not denied either. Either way, on the way to smile is confirmed canon and also shows that lifestream Aerith and Zack have a friendly relationship, while she thinks of Cloud in romantic terms.

@@delriver77 >Maiden isn't confirmed to be canon, but it's not denied either. Look, I couldn't care less about the drama and the name calling(safely assume I couldn't give a crap, because I don't), but it "not being denied" does not make it canon. If the original creator of the content says it's canon, it's canon. That's all I have to say about this. Now, was there such confirmation from actual developers/creators/creative directors? If so, please share such commentary. Thank you.

I watched Tifa’s date for more than 10 times!!!! THIS IS CRAZY!!! OMG can’t wait for part 3. This is really bit different from OG, and I reallllyyyyyy love how Square made it different but yet the same. I’m not seeing that Cloud gets his PTSD sick this time, instead, he could smile at Aerith and wish her well in her new world. Unexpectedly, the one who was most shocked by Aerith's death was Tifa

[@olafgurke4699]

Claude didn't get PTSD from Aerith's death, because he saved her. At least partially, in one timeline. Or so it would seem...

[@henrymago2710]

Cloud isn’t shocked by it because he is the only one who still thinks she is alive

[@Fflovver]

does anyone know how to get specifically the dates you want? I did all side quests for everyone and had tifa in my party the whole game but I still went on a date with Red for some odd reason

[@dancooley6247]

It’s based off character affection rating, which can keep going up even after the visual indicator is maxed. Red may have been slightly higher for whatever reason. Or it’s possible several were equally high and the game picked one at random

[@munkengfoo7862]

Barret is always about tifa even though he dont really mention it. But in somewhere he is hinting to cloud. And yuffie too it all about tifa lolx. Love tifa moment ❤i would like to go a date with her please

[@DekkarJr]

idk why but the Yuffie one is my favorite, I like the kid sister vibe they established cus she imo didn't fit into the group the way the others do - Barret and Red have a semi bromance, Tifa and Aerith have a sisterly relationship etc etc. Yuffie seemed kind of out of place in the group personality wise before they opened up her character a little bit more

[@supersaiyanzero386]

Before Crisis Core I was like "ugh Zack doesnt belong only bad part of ff7" now he's legit my favorite. Super positive ultra strong cool dude who thankfully told genesis to shut up many times. Sephiroth kept letting him yap lol.

[@jeremiahstenzel789]

I felt the same way. Never played Crisis Core, never gave a crap about him. All I've seen of Zack has been from Remake and Rebirth and he's just so likeable. Light and free as opposed to taciturn and stoic. Polar opposite of Cloud. Cloud is likeable too, of course, when he lets his guard down.

[@BleistiftSchwert]

Of course Vincent falls asleep. He’s 57 years old and has to deal with 21-years old the entire day. Just let him rest

[@brandongonzalez6277]

I was thinking the Yuffie date was pretty lame until the air punches (,: that was very sweet.

[@asneakylawngnome5792]

Red XIII’s actually gives a lot of insight. Like telling Cloud to protect Aerith and seeing the future.

[@lareolanKFP]

Yuffie being the kid sister like vibe is cute as heck. Tifa's ride was really sweet and emotional, while Aerith's ride was kind of painful to watch knowing what she and Zach had and knowing Cloud's history with him as well...

[@jesseds892]

Hmm i wonder if this is also playing into the multiverse theory where each date causes its own timeline

Vincent, Cait and Cid date is the most hilarious, Yuffie's is the cutest. And Aerith's and Tifa's are more on romantic side. Barret is more like a parent.
