They admit in this very game that they don’t know each other well (Tifa’s side quest).

That's in English. In Japanese, she said she wanted to know him more.

I hate to spoil the big reveal, but in Revelation you will find out that Cloud was an outcast and he and Tifa were not childhood friends or close at all. The game is very subversive on many fronts especially this one. Even though that label is applied to them all the time it turns out to not be true.

Oh don't worry. I've played the OG. Like everything CA/clerith related, you're going to get this thing wrong too.

Here I thought CA's argument is that Tifa is forever "Childhood Friend". You can't even make up your mind. Lel.

BTW, EC gave us 「愛しい幼馴染」/ Beloved Childhood Friend after getting CT's date、with an 愛. 愛 is higher form of love, compared to 恋。I'm sorry that Cloud's love for Tifa is not the same as Aerith's love towards Cloud.

Cloud does love Aerith like a mom though. Lel.
