hi all! haha... i came here to rekindle my love for clerith.. i am glad there are still so many active shippers around!

ff6, ff7, ff9, ff12 and ff tactics are my fave ff series by far.. although i have to admit ff12 kinda lacked of story development..

and i ship clerith like no other.. this pairing is interesting for me because it has yet to be declared as official and the developers are being such an ass by spilling ambiguous clues here and there..
Spoiler: click to toggle


its annoying but interesting at the same time don't you think? it makes you want to continue hoping :D

no matter how many times i read clotis defenses for their ship.. it is still not encouraging enough for me.. so yea.. clerith all the way!

nice to meet everyone!

Nice to meet you as well ^^

My official opinion is that neither couple is canon, and that everything is up to interpretation. However the clerith interpretation of FFVII/the compilation is definitely the interpretation I prefer.

But feel free to post, look around, there are plenty of essays and things for our side as well ^^

Welcome welcome!

SE has said that Cloud *WAVERED* between two heroines. So it is official that Cloud romantically liked both Aerith & Tifa.

However, I believe there is more evidence in favor of CxA:

-SE said Cloud is Aerith's *koibito* [lover in Japanese]
-The Clerith date is the official/canon date and ends "magically"
-The official/canon scene where Marlene tells Cloud Aerith likes him has Cloud saying, "I hope so"
-Cloud thought Aerith's eyes were "impressive" and that her smile was a "good purchase"
-SE says Cloud has an "undying" feeling for Aerith
-SE has given Cloud and Aerith romantic cameos such as in FFIX, FFT, and declared them Emperor/Empress
-SE said that Tifa was jealous of the "world" & "special bond" Cloud & Aerith were forming that was "different" than the bond she had with Cloud
-SE says that there "seems to be something between them (Cloud & Aerith)"
-Nomura of SE says he has "no clue" if CxT are in a romantic relationship after FFVII ends
-Nojima of SE says things didn't go well between CxT in Case of Tifa and that after AC, Denzel & Marlene may or may not be able to help them sort through their problems
-The Advent Children relationship lists CxT as "childhood friends" NOT romantic partners or lovers
-SE has given Cloud and Aerith 5 official pieces of artwork, similar to other canon couples

I could go on and on...

Welcome! Nice to have you here :huggle:

What was that GreyGardens? Well, we all know that Cloud liked Tifa a as a young boy but does SE mean that even after he has met Aerith he still likes them both....equally?

I also believe SE definitely prefers Clerith (why else would they bring here back over and over again?) and everything between CxT is more like up to interpretation than things between CxA. Hey, silly question but where do you find all these canon/official quotes? FF7 Ultimania Omega? Isn't it only in japanese? Is there some page where are more translations? Is that discussion between Cloud and Marlene really canon? In the game it was optional.

When SE says Cloud *wavered* between two heroines, he did.

But I was clear when I said that I believe his love for Aerith is much more evident and powerful.

When both Aerith and Tifa are alive, in Cloud's life, and on equal footing, who does Cloud prefer? Aerith.

The only times Cloud can even be argued to prefer Tifa is during childhood (when Aerith wasn't present) or after Aerith's death.

Disc 1 proves Cloud preferred Aerith over Tifa.

Welcome to the forums! I hope you like it here :3

And I'm pretty sure that even after aeriths death and after disk one finished, cloud still preferred aerith over tifa. He did keep thinking about her ALOT after all. The only times people can claim he favoured tifa over aerith is before cloud meets aerith which is in his childhood

Again - I said the only time it can be ARGUED that Cloud preferred Tifa is during his childhood or after Aerith dies. Key word: ARGUED. Point is -- when both ladies are on equal footing, it is inarguable -- Cloud preferred Aerith.

Though this probably isnt the place to debate this but, I was merely stating that the "after aerith dies" statement in my eyes, hold no value in a debate such as that one. Im aware that if they are on equal footing, cloud prefers aerith.

I agree with you that Cloud prefers Aerith after disc 1.

I was making the point that it can only be ARGUED that Cloud likes Tifa more than Aerith in instances where the two girls aren't on equal footing (ie: during Cloud's childhood, after Aerith's death). I don't agree with that assessment, but it can still be ARGUED. What's wrong with saying that?

However, when Cloud and Tifa are on equal footing (ie: when they are both alive and both in Cloud's life during disc 1) it is inarguable -- Cloud prefers Aerith.
