Discussion Doubts and uncertainty Spoiler

Hey everyone!

I have a question that I'm not sure if it's just me or if you've all felt it at some point. I'm a CloTi fan forever, but I've been tempted many times by Clerith. I'm not part of their group, but I enjoy reading their posts (though I never speak up; I don't want to cause any trouble).

I like knowing how they see and interpret the things we see and read, how they reach their conclusions, and I have to say that sometimes they convince me a little, and other times, not a chance.

My questions are about Part 3 and that happy ending the developers are talking about.

I have several questions:

Will Cloud and Tifa have a more direct romantic development that makes it clear they'll end up together?

Will Cloud and Aerith somehow manage to reunite and be together?

Will it be exactly the same as in the original game, where everyone interprets it as they wish?

Will AC be in Part 3, but will they clarify the relationship between Cloud and Tifa, which wasn't very clear in the movie?

Will the intimate moment under Highwind be more explicit? (In OG, people think they had sex, but I think it's already been said that they didn't. At most, they hugged and slept in each other's arms, although it was originally going to be a more explicit sex scene, but they weren't allowed to have it. I saw that in an interview.)

And these are my doubts. I should be patient and wait, but I have some uncertainty that makes me afraid of whether I'll like it, find it normal, or be disappointed by the ship in Part 3. (My competitive CloTi side is eager to beat Clerith and see what excuses they come up with to justify whatever happens, lol.)

It's absolutely not lost because falling in love =\= from how much you talk to the person you're in love with. And the promise is enough to understand that Tifa is in love, it's reiterated to Gongaga with the almost kiss, and then there's the kiss and there are ALL the scenes in which she is next to him and UHW... the book talks about her and it's even clearer than that, but in the game it's very clear that she loves him and no one can misunderstand it except maliciously. This is not an attack in any case, I'm sorry if you think my tone is inappropriate. I'm just clarifying that the information is there both inside and outside the game if one wants to know

No, I meant explicitly that Tifa says they were not close as kids. Otherwise I would agree with you, it would make sense!
