Ok here is the thing, Cloud doesn't need to be with anyone to make this movie worthwhile. This isn't a movie about him partnering up with anyone! It is about him dealing with yet another crisis that is coming upon the earth. He is a Hero through and through, and even if he does end up like a "hermit" at the end, it shouldn't matter. There are far more pessing questions that can be answered besides who he really loves. There is a new threat in this world and guess what? Cloud is stepping up to fight the good fight and find answers for HIMSELF, not about who he should be with. If we find out Cloud loves Aeris or Tifa, it shouldn't be the focal point of the story, no matter how many fanboys and girls of either pairing feel.

Marry me now. I demand it.


I hate how people think FFVII is nothing but a teen classroom consisting of only gossip about who loves who. The poor storyline... More misunderstood than an angsty teen...

The "new threat to the planet" was created for the sake of the movie and is guarunteed to be resolved. The LTD disparity has been around for 8 years and is not guarunteed to be resolved. Is it any mystery why people are more anxious in regard to the latter?

Maybe it hasn't been resolved because...

1) Resolving it would disappoint certain fanbases no matter the resolution.
2) It would risk Cloud disregarding the character he has built in previous games.
3) Maybe it just isn't important enough?

FFVII was about Life. Not Love. And 90% of the FFVII lovers I know don't care about the love triangle. People who do are just a lot louder. <_<

Well of course this new threat was created for the movie and I sure as hell hope it is resovled! That would be a shitty "To be continued..." As for the debate on the love triangle... it shouldn't matter. There is a reason that Squaresoft put in the begining of the game who you get to choose who Cloud goes up to the gondola with. Ever think that Squaresoft wanted you to come up with your own opinion about that? It is open-ended! It is suppose to make you guess, make you come up with your own thoughts of what Cloud should do. It is a teaser in the game basically and should never take center stage. But this is just my opinion.

This is why I like the Legend of Zelda series. None of those games has a major focus on a particular romance Link has. He is simple the "Hero of Time"... Lucky Link.

A cliffhanger would be okay, I guess. There's always Dirge of Cerberus. :D But I would prefer if there was a end to the triangle, just to set my mind at ease.

Personally, I think that the LT is very important. Why? Cuz I LIKE it. You two are making it sound like folks who like the romance are just ignorant and simple, but that's not true. I wanna know who Cloud loved, is that so wrong? I want it to be resolved darnit! I realize the plot is very important too, yes yes, threat to the planet, mm-hmm, indeed. That AND the LT can be resolved in the same movie
(Sorry if this was a bit...erm...strange...when I'm sick I have a really difficult time expressing my thoughts)

That's fine! The only problem I have is with people who don't care about the main story. I have no problem with people liking the love triangle. I am just sick of those who think that is ALL that FFVII was about.

Something occured to me. Now don't get me worng, I'm not questioning your right to be here, but if you guys consider emphasis on Cloud's personal relationships to be distatsteful then what are you doing in a forum based on the question, and I quote: "What do you hope happens between Cloud and Aerith in AC?" Isn't it kind of a lost cause to lecture people here on the unimportance of the relationship aspect? If you like debating things, I guess that's none of my business, but talking down to people by telling them "I feel sorry for you" etc for simply excersising the credo of the forum is something along the lines of trolling, if I understand the term correctly.

Nothing wrong with a good debate right? :D

Hey, I like discussing Cloud's relationship too. I have my own thoughts on who he should end up with and so on and so forth but when people say that it should be resolved in AC, then that kinda upsets me. The purpose of the movie shouldn't be to resolve the relationship. And it is more than fine if you love talking about who cloud should be with, I am more than aware that I am on a Cloud and Aeris forum. I just dislike how the relationship between Cloud and "Insert random name here" is overshadowed by the actual story and furture story of AC.

Because I enjoy the thought of Cloud being with Aeris maybe? The forum isn't named, "Since AC will be a complete disappointment with regardless of how good the story is, what do hope will happen with Cloud and a woman?" If it were, I wouldn't be here. Or on the forum in general.

Expressing my own opinion sure isn't. Don't know what a debate is like?

1) Expressing my own opinion isn't talking down on people. I find it sad that a lot of people ignore the main story of FFVII just to only pay attention to what the girls say and do to Cloud. I personally feel upset that people think AC won't be good if Cloud doesn't end up with a girl and I have every right to express that. Just because I don't sugar coat my posts with smiles and internet slang, it doesn't mean I am talking down to you.

2) Why would I "troll" on a forum with me on the forum staff? Again, I am expressing my own opinion. You could accept my point of view on this as well.
