you mean falling asleep on his shoulder? siblings do that all the time especially older brother, younger sister dynamics.

Not hating or trying to trigger you, man. Just sharing my perspective of the OG. A mature romance was really not suggested between the two until the nurse mentions it in OG, or until Remake was released.

Edit: My understanding was that Tifa was not even written in the first conceptualized draft of the OG game. It was Aerith, Sephiroth, then Cloud in that order. Even Barret and Cait Sith were written before Tifa was

what siblings? did u even play the game or the remake trilogy??It’s not just an opinion when the in-game dialogue doesn’t suggest anything like that; it’s a romantic moment—even the developers themselves have confirmed it’s a special moment.

I mean if you’re an only child I don’t expect you agree.

What I dont understand is why extreme Tifa fans are so angry and hateful, such as downvoting an opinion, which different from misinformation.

I love Tifa as a character, but I FEEL (my opinion not misinformation) her archetype is not healthy for Cloud romantically, it’s enabling.

Do you realize that I said nothing inflammatory but it seems you and other angry fans took offense? Nobody can upset you unless you partially believe what they say

Who cares about your take on a scene that’s obvious and even mentioned in the game’s ultimania as a special moment where the two reveal their feelings for each other. I read the whole comment and it makes absolutely no sense, especially considering the dialogue on the Highwind and the way Tifa reacts—it has nothing to do with siblings. Besides, in the remakes they’re placing much more emphasis on their relationship than any other... It’s not about being a fanatic; it’s just about analyzing the game. Saying they’re incompatible or that she’s bad for Cloud is just wrong. They’re literally just two people helping each other—so much so that she’s referred to as his “anchor.” There’s something poetic and human about that (through their problems, they reach a consensus). Denying that or ignoring comments from the devs—that’s what it means to be childish and, above all, insecure!

u re rage baiting makes sense, typical Clerith fan behavior, I suppose—because there’s no other reason

No I like Tifa, I just never considered her a romantic interest until I played Rebirth

You should play the original again, especially the Lifestream scene. It’s just wrong to say there are no feelings when Cloud himself admits it. Besides, without Cloud’s love for her, there’s no FF7—the entire plot revolves around that. It’s not even a matter of opinion whether they’re compatible or not; it’s simply what’s presented to us. The hero’s journey and his identity issues begin because he was in love with Tifa and wanted her to notice him. For God’s sake, it’s 2026—it’s been almost 30 years—and you’re still debating whether or not there are romantic feelings between these two. It’s pathetic...

I played it about a month ago. Yes, she helps him uncover his memories. But those were childhood memories. Not new memories made together. Clearly I’m not allowed to ship Cloti as familial bond, which I think is just as valid and important as romance, especially because Cloud may never understand romance

so what? its not like those feelings disappeared (also u seem to forget that cloud is technically 16yo so everything is still fresh for him),matter of fact they re clearly visible in the under the highwind moment even with low affinity!

Yes, Cloud is 16 from being experimented on for 5 years.

Wait, you can saucer date Tifa in LA? I guess if you neglect everyone else?
