It actually ticks me off how much Tifa pairing I find.

I do not like Snow x Tifa, nor would I be a fan of her and Noel.

Why? Because it's making her into the main heroine again, which Serah played the role of, sorry no.

Lightning x Tifa is a no for me, I prefer Lightning x Aerith or Lightning x Fang.

Also there have been many sightings of Lightning x Cloud and people have named their child Thunder.
Tifa's not everyone's cup of tea, and that's fine. I like her just fine when she's not paired with Cloud--or Vincent. He's kinda like an extreme of all the Cloud traits that make Cloti not work for me. Broody, non-communicative, needs someone to take him out of himself.

Technically speaking we don't know enough about the plot of 13-2 to know that Tifa x Noel would infringe upon Serah's herione status in any way. Noel's still a non-entity to me until I play the game. From what I saw of the Snow vids, they seemed to just be AU fanon fun. I'm not interested in shipping it from that taste, but I do still like it better than Cloti as a couple. Speaking as a vid maker, it can be serious fun to try to reedit scenes into moments that never happened. Same thing goes for when I'm writing fanfic. Making certain pairings believable can be a fun challenge. Nobody's said that Snoti is "teh canon" as far as I've seen, so I don't personally feel it infringes on Serah. By that rule I couldn't fanon ship Cloud with anyone, because it would take away Aerith's status as main heroine. JMO

Interestingly, I think one reason that I am less interested in multishipping Cloud is my satisfaction with Clerith. I feel that SE has portrayed a beautiful story about their love, and I feel sometimes sorry for Tifa who Square seems content to leave pining after a man who's just not that into her rather than let her move on. Since Square's commited to not resolving LTD, I get some big kicks in finding interesting alternative ships for Tifa and trying to create some resolution to her story.

After having experiences on forums where Tifa fans overzealously praised her and bashed Aerith, it colored my feelings for the character for a bit. Shipping Tifa actively helped me over those lingering feelings. FFVII fandom can be downright toxic sometimes, imo. I don't get into LTD discussions outside of these forums because it never stays civil. LTD seems to do nothing but foster hate on both sides. It's like fighting over a Rorschach test. I could scream "bunny" until I'm blue in the face. They could scream "dragon" till their throats bled. Neither side would see the image any differently, and at the end of the day all it does is create animosity over a blob of ink on a piece of paper.

Just my two cents.

I'm being attacked by a Kuja x Tifa vid idea and a few smut plot bunnies. Thank you, Dissidia!

I cannot pair Kuja x Tifa, sorry.

Tifa x Kain from dissidia is kinda cute though.

No worries. I know my form of crack shipping preference isn't going to be to everyone's taste. I figure I might as well own up to it though, since I am working on some ideas that are eventually gonna get posted other places. At least then everyone knows whom to blame. LOL

Fenrir you can ship it, I don't mind lol, I just am saying nooo for myself.

Actually in my fic process Tifa x Auron might happen. And you know I kinda like them.

Ooooh! I hope it does happen, that would be an interesting pairing. I love Auron. I've been considering getting the HD release of X, and HD Auron seems to be one of my biggest pros for it. I haven't played it in so long that I'm starting to get fuzzy about some of the plot details and events. Always a good excuse to replay. XD

I didn't think you were telling me not to ship Tija (think that sounds better than Kufa). ^^ I just know that this is one of the more "off the map" ship ideas, and I think I understand why more folks don't go there. I like to keep a sense of humor about that aspect of it. Plus, I originally thought of the pairing as a joke; but, before I could even hit Post Reply, I realized I really liked it. Then my fic process kicked in and starting filling in some of the different ways I could approach it that weren't a joke, and plot bunnies attacked. I'm still a little shocked that I'm shipping it, and more than a little amused that apparently my subconscious has outsmarted me... again. So I just wanted you to know that I'm totally cool with the fact that this one isn't going to appeal to everyone.

And I meant to say earlier that I think Tifa x Kain is cute too. I've run across video comments about how much better they communicate than Tifa and Cloud and a fair amount of love for that pairing.

Tifa x Auron? LOL I cannot see that myself!

What about Tifa x Hope? I mean, Tifa is a year younger than Lightning, so she's closer in age to him XD

On a more serious note, maybe Tifa x Zidane would work well. He's got an eye for pretty girls and she looks a lot like Garnet. Plus, he's like the hero she's always dreamed of. Maybe not in looks but definitely in personality!

Or even Tifa x Wakka. They are both tough, athletic types, and Wakka's very easygoing but childish, which would complement Tifa's kind and motherly nature rather nicely.

Yeah next story I write will have Barret x Tifa in it.

Tifa x Wakka is interesting XD

I dunno, pretty much she and Cloud irk me, it makes no sense.

Lol, I mean Aerith x Tifa doesn't bother me.

Tifa x Sephiroth is an odd pairing, wonder if anyone ships it <<
