I think Aeris helps Cloud express his true feelings about a current situtation or how he felt about something. I think Tifa noticed Cloud too late when Aeris started to take interest in Cloud. Tifa, in my opinion was jelous of Aeris.

I think Tifa always had an interest in Cloud. Ever since he was gonna go join Soldier and be 'famous' she started taking an interest in him.

I guess her insecurities were just fueled when Aeris came along. Sort of like how Quistis felt in FF8.

About Tifa being jealous.....well, yes, I would say there were times when she was jealous. "EXCUSE me."
However, I also think that there were times when Aeris was jealous, well, more so curious rather than jealous: "Is she your....girlfriend?"

They didn't hate each other and bitchfight their way through the game though. Aeris and Tifa were FRIENDS, like sisters. Case of Tifa and Advent Children only further confirmed that.

:bff:

Hmm maybe the reason why Tifa all of a sudden liked Cloud when he told her he is joining SOLDER could be because she knew he'd be there for her, and always look out for her and take care of her. Maybe thats the type of guy she would depend and someone who would support her in the future. Which in a way, she does.

I agree that Tifa did get jealous of Aeris, especially in the prison cell in Shinra HQ. I didn't find Aeris that jealous, like yin-chan said, more curious, arn't we all though?

~Clerith Forever~

Well, how should I say this? There are a lot of things going in my mind, I can't
seem to settle it.

One reason I support Clerith is because I think they are adorable!! :D
Well, yes, I admit Tifa is pretty and all, I like girls with black hair too, but
when I first saw her, I thought she was too plain. But when I saw Aerith,
I was like, "Oh my freakin' god! She's gorgeous and KAWAII~~!!"

Of course, like everyone else, when I first saw Aerith and saw that she was
going to be the magic-user, or should I say the mage, I thought of her as a
conservative and shy girl. But woo-hoo! Did she get me wrong! It was the
exact opposite of what I thought! Aggressive(?), smart, has a sense of humor,
and is VERY true to her own feelings.

The second reason is because that I like the transient feeling of their relationship.
They are right there, close to each other, but at the same time has this scary
feeling that it'll be all gone, and they will be seperated. ( And I thought right :( )
It's like they are close, like in reaching distance, but at the same time far
away.........ohhkay, I'm confusing myself here so let's drop this subject.

The third reason is because they are the exact opposite! Cloud...the stoic and
cold-hearted(?), lonely soldier, and Aerith who is also lonely but doesn't show
it and has a bright heart. I also liked it how Aerith was the one who was able to
bring out his true feelings, be able to be himself.

The fourth....Caith Sith's prediction! Ehehehehe.... :D

And all the other Clerith scenes in the game makes me a big supporter of
Clerith. I'm sorry Tifa but you're not in my sight but don't be mistaken!
I believe that you and Aerith are BEST FRIENDS, not RIVALS!

Why? Well..Aeris saved Cloud from the darkness and made Cloud laugh! And obviously because Cloud loved..well..loves her. Why would Cloud be with anyone else? ^^
Aeris also found Cloud's good side and helped him to bring it out :)
Aeris was very positive..unlike Tifa..I agree with most of you. I also found her kinda pessimistic.
There was something between them..you could notice it right from the beginning when Cloud bought a flower from Aeris..we all knew he would remember her :)

:cloud: :cleris: :aeris:

This is what I posted very quickly on ACF, so perhaps it's not too well-thought out. But I don't think I've ever really stated why I liked Cleris so much, so here goes:

In response to this post:

Quote:
 
Cloud and Aeris has a more romantic relationship, they've met by chance, their destinies are interwoven, they are attracted to each other at first glance, she is the sweet type, flirty and cute, she's a healer, and implies a longer lasting relationship.

That's a small part of why I support Cloud/Aerith. There is a fantasy factor to it, how it absolutely radiates with destiny and fated meetings. For me, Cloud and Aerith represent the ideal love that anybody would want in their life-- for death to not be a wall, but just a road bump. And what greater obstacle in a lovelife is there than death?

But a story can be fantasy without being fluffy. At the same time, C/A also encompasses the pain of losing a loved one, of living on despite that pain.

There is death.

There is the possibility of not getting what you want-- in this case, Aerith wanting to live to be with Cloud forever. It is also in this sense that I'm not partial to Cloud and Tifa getting together-- just because Tifa wants Cloud, doesn't mean she's going to get him. Life doesn't always give you what you want.

There is the choice to be made between duty (Aerith's duty to the planet) and personal desires (Aerith wanting to stay with Cloud forever); of sacrifices that have to be made not because you want to but because you have to. To put the good of others above yourself, no matter your personal feelings.

There is the possibility of being alone, of how even love can destroy you (Cloud's hopeless state in AC), and how to find hope when all seems lost.

Just because Aerith wears pink and a bow in her hair, doesn't make her romance any less impressive. :P

It was in this thread: http://forums.adventchildren.net/showthread.php?t=51625. Incidentally, if you haven't voted yet, go do it! :D

You sum up my thoughts beautifully.
This is where rabid Cloti failed to appreciate the story of FFVII. Perhaps blinded by their love for Tifa and desire for Cloti to happen?
They blindly presume Cleris = unrealistic fluff.

However, Cleris is no mere fluff. It is a tragically beautiful fantasy lovestory. :sad:

Thanks, STA! :huggle: It was written rather quickly, so I was worried that it wouldn't sound coherent... But I'm glad it does!

The original post I was replying to actually wasn't all that anti-Cleris or anti-Cloti. The poster was probably trying to explain why guys seemed to prefer Cloti and girls seemed to prefer Cleris. What I didn't like about it, though, was how the summary made it seem like Cleris was nothing but fluffy cuteness of rainbows.

I really think the problem lies with Aerith's dress colour. Some people see the pink, the ribbon in her hair, her position as group mage-- and immediately form this idea that she's nothing more than fluff. :grr: They think that just because Tifa shows her problems about Cloud more obviously, her relationship would automatically be deeper.

Beneath Aerith's light-hearted interactions with Cloud, there's a whole lot more going on. But maybe some people don't pick up on it because Cloud didn't spend a whole 20+ years emo!angsting over Aerith like Vincent did with Lucrecia.

(And when he does it in KH, we immediately get exclamations of OOCness. :rolleyes: )

I also didn't appreciate FP's earlier comments about Cloti being "realistic", and then implying it's automatically better. Realism is overrated, anyway. :P

That's a great post Lynn! I can't load the page cause now I'm back in malaysia and the connection is so slow it KILLS ME. But from what I read in your other post above, it looks great.

Really, lots of people can't appreciate the beauty of Cleris. The only reasoning that they come up with is Tifa = alive, beautiful, ass-kicking, loves Cloud = Cloti. None of Cloud's feelings at all. And of course they don't see beyond how Aerith tries to hard to find the real Cloud, or how death was a tragic twist to the love that could have been, how Aerith managed to connect to Cloud's soul...geez. If Aerith dressed in black leather, I wonder if there would be a lot more Clerises. <_<

Wow, you all have really good reasons...Well I don't think anyones mentioned this but if you did, i'm sorry xD;;

I think Aerith challenges Cloud a little more, he has a goal with her, to meet her again.
