In The Eyes Of A Fanatic; my perspective

Ok what I've seen around are a lot of neutral or nice Cleriths. Well I'm about to give my own opinion on the FF7 compilation. I'm not a nice Clerith, in fact I'm pretty much what a lot of people would consider a fanatic about what couples I like.

So here's the deal, SE has milked FF7, changed it in many ways, made this thing into a cash cow much like what they're doing with the KH series, since it keeps getting prequels or sequels that won't end it.

They've made:

FF7
FF7 Crisis Core
FF7 Advent Children/Advent Children Complete
FF7 Dirge of Cerberus

Not to mention the various publications and books they've made from this series such as Case of Tifa.

Then we've got FF7 characters in: the Kingdom Hearts series, Dissidea, and in Japan Itadaki Street Special. Then there's special costumes and other fan related things in video games such as Little Big Planet. Plus I think there was something about a game called Ergheiz where Tifa and Cloud could fight each other(though this I'm not entirely sure on). And then there are things like before crisis, the point being they keep making more and more out of this. They've even shown the preview of an FF7 remake would look like and teased the fans with it.

As a person whose played FF7 through and beaten it into the ground about fifty times, this includes obtaining all of Aerith's limit breaks, and beating Ruby and Emerald Weapon in all these games, I have tried to keep my fandom of Cloud x Aerith. They even had official artwork of them, never any official artwork of Tifa and Cloud together. So when I went online not expecting my fandom to be attacked, thinking that people would have noticed that Tifa's love for Cloud was not returned, you can imagine my fury at the things I read about a couple I despised.

So yes, I am speaking from a Clerith perspective that WANTS SE to declare Clerith as canon, no I won't stop loving Clerith if they never declare either as canon. But the point being, is I want to have this couple declared mainly because Cloti's have ruined a lot of my fandom, and made me feel wrong and confused about my pairing, only to find out most of their "proof" wasn't proof at all. And while I don't have "proof" of Clerith as canon, I still find there to be more things pointing towards it.

I am not a neutral Clerith, I want them declared canon, and this is my rant, this is how I feel about the couple. While I don't believe they'll declare either as canon, it does not stop my desire for Clerith to be declared canon. But no I won't go around trolling Cloti's for their beliefs, I will however completely despise the couple and tell any Cloti who does confront me that I don't agree with them and that I loath their couple.

Anyway, here's a rant from my perspective. Sorry if I offended anyone, but this is how my own personal views on Clerith and the LTD are.

No arguements here.


I do agree with FF7 being absolutely milked to death. They really should make a FF7-2 and just finally give us some real answers.

And yes, I want Cloud and Aerith to be declared 'canon' as well. Not for really the games sake, and not even just to prove Cloud and Tifa fans wrong.

Just to finally get it over with.

It's funny, but I keep going back and forth with neutrality. I find myself more neutral and nice when I'm approached by understanding people, and then I find myself pissed off and rabid when other rabid Cloti fans approach me.

The thing is, despite my tolerance of Cloti and its fans, I find myself thinking incredibly terrible and cruel things pertaining to the canoninity of it all.

I want Clerith declared canon JUST so I can hear the painful cries and howls of rabid Clotis.

If Clerith isn't declared canon and the FFVII love triangle decides to stay neutral then I will merely continue to stand by my view points and do what I'm doing now. Enjoying my pairing without the unnecessary annoyances of rabids.

I suppose, in a way, I'm a terribly cruel person because of WHY I want my pairing declared canon. There was once a time when I wanted it declared that way so FFVII could be left alone at last, but I find that nowadays that isn't the case.

Sorry if I offended, but I felt my opinion needed to be expressed.

I want it declared canon so FF7 can be left alone from the ongoing LTD AND to hear the painful cries of all the rabid Cloti's so I guess I'm just as cruel.

I'm with you guys on that one. I want ClAeris declared canon and I could really care less about how it affects the CloTis. The way I see it, they're wrong anyways, and it's about time someone told them so. :lol:

Plus, it would prove me right through all of the years I debated against rabids, so... :whistle: I'd be cackling as the howling began.

I mean maybe it's just because I want my fandom kept safe more then anything else, and I'm tired of the debating and whatnot with the LTD, but I love Clerith and I am an avid supporter of it. I could never back down about my beliefs on it, not even for a second, it just isn't me. I mean I even test drove Cloti in FF7 and went ew about half way through, it didn't feel right. So perhaps I don't like love triangles, but this one is the worst, and I want to hear them howl because of what they've done to my fandom, at least the rabid ones, the ones who aren't rabid are alright. But I'm a fanatic about my beliefs and I want Clerith declared canon. I just can't be a neutral Clerith.

Don't forget Before Crisis! The Turks mobile game and they also did a mobile episode for Dirge of Cerberus and FFVII Snowboarding. Yes VII will still continue to be milked as long as there is a profit there.

For me myself I saw Cloud and Aerith falling in love when I played VII and that is all that keeps me happy. That has always been my vision and it will never be changed.

Before Crisis was mentioned, though I suppose in the large paragraphs it was hard to spot.

I saw Clerith in 7 first of course, and loved it from the start, never a Cloti person. But I still want it declared canon to this day.
