Reasons; Aerith is better for Cloud

Why is Aerith good for Cloud? Hmmm.... well, everybody's answered for me already. I've got nothing else to say. :lol:

But, yeah, because Aerith is the only one who got Cloud to feel anything else besides anger and depression, you know? Cloud had lived a very depressing life (being a bastard son, being outcasted by his childhood buddies, failing to become First Class, etcetera....) and it would be understandable if he just shuts out Aerith from his life given his utterly horrendous state.... but he didn't, because Aerith treated him with compassion, and for once, he responded. :lol:

Well, okay this will definately sound repeated. Cloud needs Aerith because she makes him happy. This is just something so obvious, but of course some people are blind that they aren't be able to see that. Aerith softened him, she made him open up, she had such a big influence of him, she was a part of Cloud. This pairing just plain rocks because how CloRith is, it happens naturally. Aerith liking Cloud first as a small crush, then that begins to grow. And Cloud, for the first time in his life, opening up and being comfortable with someone. As for CloTi, I've always had the feeling that Tifa liked Cloud in the first place because he seemed cool and all, I don't think this relationship is .. real y'know? It's like us admiring a celebrity from afar or something.
While Cloud and Aerith, the feeling's mutual.

Right on, it didn't bloom into just any flower but ;

'A violet by a mossy stone half hidden from the eye...'
quoted from one of my fav. poems which I learned in high school. Can't remember the poet though, but will edit as soon as I remember :) ;) :P.

What I'm trying to point out: Their love bloomed but none really noticed.

A lot of things I wanted to point out have already been said, but I'll just add on.

To start off, Aeris and Cloud just simply click because they look so good together. You've got the cold, indifferent, and lonely hero; and then there's the cheerful and sweet flower girl who happens to be the last of her kind. Basically, it's obvious that he needs her gentle, understanding, and caring support; and (being the brave and strong hero that he is), she would definitely benefit from his protection. In a sense, Aeris and Cloud are like the dark brooding knight and the princess from them cute fairy tales. They NEED each other.
I can definitely group them in with perfect couples like Rinoa and Squall, Garnet and Zidane, and Yuna and Tidus. I can't picture Cloud and Tifa as a couple. Even though she does care a lot about Cloud, all I got out of those two after finishing FF7 was that they'd probably never be anything more than just friends. He never returned her feelings and affections (this doesn't include the scenes where the player can choose to be affectionate toward her). Most of Cloud's reactions to her half confessions of love were stuff like: "..."

I've noticed big atmospheric differences within the scenes where Cloud is talking to Aeris VS where he's talking to Tifa. Aeris and Cloud seem to communicate really well with each other. She's not afraid to ask him questions and her curiosity in him makes him feel more wanted.
Cloud seems to be a lot more cheerful, kind, and caring whenever she's around, and she WAS pretty much the reason why he started to lose his cold and indifferent personality in the first place.
Tifa, on the other hand, can't communicate well with Cloud. Usually when they're around each other, they never know what to say...makes them always appear like they're in awkward situations...or something. The only things they can talk normally about seem to be the past events of their childhood.
Because of this, Tifa and Cloud together have no chemistry whatsoever.

Let's put it this way...Tifa can kick butt physically, but mentally, she's a very weak character and that's not what Cloud needs. Cloud can already kick butt, so he doesn't need her. What he really needs is a mentally and emotionally strong and supportive character like Aeris. Sometimes the strength of a person's heart can take them a lot further than actual physical strength.

I think it's already been proven that Cloud loves Aeris and that they are the true couple of FF7 anyway (not Tifa and Cloud) because of games like Kingdom Hearts and FF Tactics. Who is Cloud constantly searching for? Aeris, of course. Show me a game where Cloud is searching for Tifa or where Cloud even mentions her adoringly and maybe I'll buy the "Cloud loves Tifa" And "Cloud and Tifa are the FF7 couple" views. Honestly, I think one of the biggest reasons why CloudxTifa fans feel the way they do is because personally, they like her better than Aeris so regardless of facts that point to how Cloud truly feels, they're going to "want" Cloud to like/be in love with Tifa. <_<

Just something I'm curious about...I've heard from a site...can't remember which that Cloud and Aeris' names have a connection of some sort. Does anyone know anything about this and would care to explain it?

yet again, today I loved you
Let's see.

Eris is the Greek goddess of Strife and oh so coincidentally Cloud's last name is Strife. ;D

'Aeris' in latin means air, atmosphere, weather, ether (xD Magic!) or clouds. :lol:

Reasons for me?
Huh...everyones pretty much said my reasons. Cloud just never opened up to Tifa as he did to Aeris. She's bright, cheerful, emotionally strong, while Cloud is stoic, moody and physically strong (but emotionally messed up). They're opposites that fit each other perfectly, like two pieces of a puzzle. :)

Never thought of Cloud and Aerith as a couple.

Cloud is cool. And I love Aerith's character.

After getting a shock treatment from seeing Aerith getting killed, I found out that two other hidden characters were in the game: Vincent and Yuffie.

My love for Yuffie was born on how she reacted on Aerith's death: she bawled like a baby...

So started the game again. And then found out that you can date Barret and Yuffie. Since I dated Aerith the first time around, did lots of crazy stuff to get their date versions.

And then lots of stuff, blahblahblah. Then I took a break from VII at the start of disk 3 and was playing Tactics, saw Aerith's cameo when getting Cloud, but didn't really took notice on it.

And then got the strength to finish the VII game because I was curious to see the ending. Though I am pissed Vincent and Yuffie aren't in it, I saw the dialogue...

"The Promised Land... I think I can meet her there."

That one line. That was the one thing that convinced me who Cloud prefers the most in the game. And then I got KH, which clinches it forever.

And that is my story on my CxA support origin. :)

I feel exactly the same way. I nearly started crying when I saw her reaction! :cry: That moment is still one of my favourite moments in all of FFVII, and I totally loved Yuffie for it. :huggle:

But anyway...C/A! Woohoo! :D

me too! even though ppl find yuffie annoying, which i guess she is sometimes, she does put alot of different emotions in the game eg love, hatred, ANGER! :mad: (lol alot of that!) and friendship. aeris and cloud i think were brought a little closer together because of it. :cleris:

Aeris is better for Cloud because I think she is capable of understanding his inner emotions... and can see through Cloud's hard shell. It is like when she does not need to meet the real Cloud personally, she just has to feel it :)
Which I think is so sweet.
And I feel that Aeris and Cloud are the sweetest couple to have ever invaded the Final Fantasy series. :wub: They can even beat SquallxRinoa, TidusxYuna or even GarnetxZidane. :wub:

Cloud & Aerith in the air
I like them together cuz...There cute. Aerith is innocent and
cheerful. Aerith is a down to earth girl and Cloud needs that.
Aerith is simple. She's a flower girl that walks in the slums.
And cloti say that Tifa lived much harder than Aerith Because she works in the
bar <_< Being Flower girl is much harder. Some people see Aerith as a princes type but I don't :ermm: I like the pairing. Simple girl and a soon to be hero :)
Just like I like Malon/Link. Simple. But that's offtopic. But just like I said.
I like the hero simple girl pairing. And the girl being cheerful makes it better.
Cloud needs to open up and Aerith is the one ;)

I just got a weak point for these pairings. Girls that live a hard life.
They just need a hero....or a bodyguard ;)

That's my lame little rant...I wish I could make it sound better
But cloud/Aerith forever

Reasons I think Aeris is better for Cloud:

1. Tifa wasn't shown in Kingdom Hearts.
2. Aeris knew when she met Cloud, she would see him again.
3. Tifa bullied Cloud when they were little
4. Aeris knew that Cloud felt lonely after his mother died


I also think that the planet would have let Aeris return to Cloud but it looked like Cloud was just standing there with his hand reaching up to her.

I couldn't agree more, Dark and Light.

It's probably hard to make a living off selling flowers in the slums. I bet she gets lots of dodgy men coming on to her all the time or people insulting her or looking down on her. And she gets pursued by the Turks on a frequent basis too!
The only thing that endangers Tifa is her mad crazing for cloud. :P
omg i'm so mean..I'm so sorry tifa.

But yea, aeris and cloud are meant to be! Cloud does need someone cheerful and loving - a fresh break from the drudgery of the slums, I'd say. :cleris:

Well, I lot of me reasons were stated, but here is my two bits.

a)They are the cutest couple! Look at my siggy. Look at everything! They just match sooo well. I know this sounds shallow, but it's true. They are so cute together.

b)Even though Cloud didn't ball like Yuffie at Aerith's death, to me he seemed sadder/more depressed than anyone. Maybe I'm weird....:unsure:

c)All Tifa does is drool over Cloud(like me! :whistle: ). They don't seem to have a very good relationship.

d)In Kingdom Hearts, Cloud and Aerith are there, and always talking about each other! I mean, they talk about others too, but they remind me of my girlfriend and I. I try and talk about other things, but in the end I can't get my mind of her and that's who the topic always turns to! It's like that with them.

e)It was obvious before I even started playing that they would be the couple because Cloud is the main character and Aeirth is so damn beautiful. Those are the two characters always together in love stories. The hero and the gorgeous girl.

Okay, that's all my arguements. Hope you find them worthwhile. Go CloudXAerith! :cleris:
