What Would You Rather See?; The AC ending

Well I must first apoligize if this topic has already been posted and talked about to death, you must excuse me for I am a newer member, but I was interested in people's opinions.

If you had to choose one, which would you choose for the ending to AC?

Would you rather there be a clear indication of who Cloud ends up with, Tifa or Aeris, even if that means the possibility of Aeris not being the one he chooses, or would you rather it stay the way it is, totally up to interpretation?

Personally I am a little torn, because both fandoms are pretty big, but it would feel so KICK ASS to put some clotis in their place if Aeris and Cloud were to 'end up' together in the end. At the same time, if the ending were to end up a Cloud and Tifa pairing...I think I would seriously be crushed....

I guess I would just much rather, if I had to choose, have it open to interpretation. The thought of a Cloud/Tifa ending seriously would depress me too much ;_;

I'd love to keep it the way it is. Most likely going to be like that too, so I'm not too worried about Cloud ending up all Squallish. :lmao:

I just think that this whole stupid war will go on even after Square tells people if there is a cannon couple. I just hope Cloud ends up happy. That's all I really want out of AC.

I don't really mind, as long as it's plausible and Cloud is happy. I'd be disappointed at a CloTi ending, but it wouldn't change my opinion of Cloud x Aerith, and I'd still believe they had something special. :cleris:

To touch the light I see in your eyes...
I would hate a CloTi ending. It would totally contradict my interpretation of the game, so it would basically ruin the game for me. My understanding of the game's ending was that Cloud would keep on searching for Aerith because he loved her. For Cloud to give up that search and suddenly turn to Tifa despite his love for Aerith would be implausible regardless of how they did it - the story's meaning would essentially have to be changed, and I wouldn't like that.

I'd rather see Cloud end up with Aerith, of course, but I think it's more likely that the movie will be left open to interpretation at the end. Square is very aware that there are different interpretations of the game and different interpretations of who Cloud loved. It doesn't stop with Cloud loving Aerith or Tifa - there's also people who think that Cloud loved Zack, Barret, Yuffie, Sephiroth, or no one.

No matter who Square paired Cloud up with, it would contradict too many interpretations of the game. Nomura already stated in one interview that the AC team had decided that the movie should not contradict the interpretation of the game held by different players. The only way they can do that is to leave the movie up to interpretation.

Persinaly,I don't see how he would end up with Tifa,so I have to say either Cloud dies and be with her,or something akong the lines of That.

Personally...I think it'd be really nice to have a clear indication. I really don't like the idea of watching a movie based on fanservice. I understand that they're a business looking to make the most money they can, but I think that true fans will stay fans no matter the outcome of the LT in that one game alone. If VII ends up Cloti, I know I'll still continue to support Square in the future, no matter how upsetting AC is. Ignore the fans, I say...because AC should be about Cloud, not about us.

However, I'd like to say that another reason why I want a clear indication is because I have faith in Square. IF they wanted to make the LT clear, I'm pretty positive that they would make it Cleris. The individual interpretations of the game aside, Square has been leading some of us on for years, ever since the beginning with commercials and AU games. I can totally understand Cleris fans getting angry IF AC suddenly ends Cloti. What I won't understand though, is Cloti fans getting angry IF AC ends up Cleris. They've already been warned SEVERAL times with "hints" through Amano artwork and AU games like KH, Tactics, and Itadaki Street. :P

The above just makes me think that when Square indicated that they were worried about fans getting upset over a conclusive ending in AC, they were worried about non-Cleris fans... :D

True, Aly. Clotis who talk like they've already seen the movie and KNOW Cloud will end up with Tifa because she's not dead should really take that into consideration.

Hades'{angelic}daughter, I totally agree with that. SE has never shown that it's afraid of "offending" fans. (Hence, they determined Aerith would stay dead.) So I don't see why they would be afraid of offending a few of the more rabid CloTi fans. After all, if you truly love FFVII, then it shouldn't matter who wins the LT. A lot of the tamer CloTis are willing to admit that Cloud loves Aerith to some degree, so if he openly admits to loving her, I'm sure they'll accept it. The rabid ones aren't worth worrying about, since they're the minority. :)

I want a conclusion to it, because it's one of the large loose ends of Cloud's story. (One of the last ones, actually.) So, if they're going to conclude Cloud's story and move to Vincent's, then I'd like to see Cloud happy and with the girl he truly loves. It makes the most sense that it would be Aerith, seeing how Cloud is not happy in AC at all, and seeing that there have been so many hints for them.

I won't freak out of it's CloTi, because I can see logic in their arguments, but I think it's most logical that Cloud will choose to love Aerith in his heart for the rest of his days and continue to protect the Planet she loved enough to sacrifice herself for, or that he'll die and be reunited with her after fighting to protect her Planet once again. Both ideas are romantic and touching, for me, and I would like to see something like that in the film. CloTi is the easy way out for SE, and I don't ever want to see them taking the "easy" way out just for fan service.

Besides, if it's CloTi, then the hand reaching scene makes absolutely zero sense! I don't think SE would disregard the game THAT completely, don't you guys think?

I just don't see why,if they do make a Claerith ending,wich I hope they do,why they wouldn't make it were he sees her both in the spritiual plain,and the physical.
I meen,if the physical does not exists,but the spiritual love does,its incomplete,but if they have physical love,but no spritual love,thats incomplete.

I totally agree with you HAD. I wish they would just stick to their guns and create AC with their true intentions in mind. But, unfortunately, that isn't likely to happen. :sad: But, that doesn't keep me from hoping they will!

Aeris, we miss you...
It'd break my heart if Tifa ends up with Cloud in the end, as his journey of finding the true woman he loves will go to waste. If ever that happens though, one thing's for sure - she cannot fill the void left by Aeris in Cloud's heart. Never.

As long as the ending is plausible and Cloud is happy, I'd most likely be happy. Thus, I'd probably want a clearly defined ending. :)
