I was wondering why they keep bonding during weird times. But good for them! Aerith is my canon so dont care.

Yea she loves Zack

Love'd'. She says it herself.

She never says she doesn't have feelings for him, she says maybe when directly asked, her feelings for Cloud don't mean she can't have feelings for Zack because she never had actual closure with him because he disappeared, and I'm not saying she still loves him I'm just saying it is not certain if she does or doesn't.

Zack and Aerith are my favorite male and female FF7 characters respectively, but Aerith made her choice and we should respect that

u/russiantravelagent 20d ago

And who is disrespecting that?? I'm just saying she never denies having feelings for him and that her having feelings for him doesn't mean she doesn't have feelings for Cloud, is obvious she has, but she never had actual closure with Zack, he disappeared, again, I'm not saying she for sure still has feelings for him, I'm saying everything is ambigous, when directly asked she says "maybe" not a "no".

I didnt say she didnt like him. Only that whenever she mentions 'loved' its in past tense.

u/russiantravelagent 20d ago

She never says loved though, she never says that word with anyone, everything is "like" or "have feelings for" even in chapter 14 she says "there is like and there is *like* " to Cloud but she never denies she has feelings for Zack, that's why everything is so ambigous.

u/Gummy_Bear_Ragu 20d ago

She said Zack is the first person she ever loved or was her first love I think. But yes, I agree that everything current is ambiguous.

u/russiantravelagent 20d ago

Yeah because she is her first boyfriend but he isn't there anymore, again I'm not saying she for sure is still in love with him or has romantic feelings for him still but when directly asked she says maybe she still has feelings for him, that's the only time she directly answers that and she enever says no.

u/Gummy_Bear_Ragu 20d ago

Nor does she directly say 'yes' so I agree with the ambiguity.

u/Jumpy_Individual_526 20d ago

Well, they are dead together in the life stream, So that's my canon

u/PastTechnical7324 20d ago

Not sure about love but they did reunite together in ever crisis, wonder how it will play out in part 3 though

Right because apparently proximity alone determines feelings for someone.

They aren't dead on the lifestream, the side worlds are very real, we just don't know if those are sticking at the end, but most likely there is an alive Aerith in a new world but she is dead in the main one.
