Final Fantasy 7 depends on its basic romance – the constant back and forth between the cloud dispute and the potential love interests of Tifa Lockheart and Aerith Gainsborough. Since the opening of the original game in 1997, a passionate discussion between the community has not only been the best girl, but who is the best match for cloud in the context of the overall story.
It is a complicated situation that has recently happened in another secret thanks to the comments of the development team.
The co-head of Naoki Hamaguchi, who talked to the inversa in December, described Aerith as a “sister type” for protagonists cloud and cast doubts about whether it was ever considered a romantic choice for a harsh little boy. Many fans literally took it, and these comments made a lot of sense when you realize that rebirth will further lean in favor of Tifa as Cloud's real partner.
They share a kiss during the scene of the golden wheel of the golden plate, while Aerith wings her loving arm around the cloud and spends several minutes talking about the past, present and the future.
This is due to the return of Zack Fair Muddies Aerith's side of the love triangle in a way that has never been before. So who is a real love interest and it matters?
Tifa is a perfect romantic partner for the cloud …
After finding ourselves in a little tizzy surrounding the sister's comments Aerith, we now saw Hamaguchi's record straight and told Auto last week:
“As creators, we will continue to communicate.” [the relationships between our characters] Through our content, “said Hamaguchi.
It seems that at least no one in Písek is released to the final entry of the trilogy. Maybe we will be the one who decides when the game finally comes, or the elections from past games will end in the culmination of romance that corresponds to the path we have walked for a better part of the decade.
If it is similar to the original game in which Aerith dies on the forgotten capital at the end of the disk, the cloud and tifa will step out of the airship and spend one last night together to face Sephiroth in the northern crater. There is no guarantee that they will live to see how the sun gets up tomorrow, which means it is the last time they could have to admit their feelings and earn on the love that has persisted since childhood.
What happens when the screen disappears to black will remain for interpretation. Some believe they love each other, while others think they are driving to sleep in the arms of the other, dreaming of the life they might have if things were different. There are as many ways to imagine, which is what makes their romance so beautiful. The remake of the trilogy must have its own view on the scene and I expect it will be much less ambiguous than the 1997 classic.
It would take advantage of the golden plate of the rebirth and every individual development of the characters we have seen between them. If Aerith is truly a spirit that persists in Cloud's periphery without the possibility of returning to life, he may force him to be happy with someone who loves him instead of sad loss and refuse to move away from her.
… but also aerith
While Tifa is a childhood girlfriend who has kept her romantic feelings for the cloud throughout her life, Aerith is a charismatic girl next to her life from nothing. They share an emotional connection that can only be separated by death itself, a bond where love is shared among former partners, best friends and fate that inevitably tears them.
Aerith is never afraid to tease the cloud when he gets angry or scolds him for bad decisions that threaten him and his friends, but all of this comes from the place of love.
He cannot help but connect him with his first friend Zack Fair, who shares more than a few visual and personal similarities with the cloud. When he sees the cloud, she reminds her of the first love that emerged with the zack, and the despair re -create this bond as a way of going from grief. Is it just an unhealthy management mechanism or something real? Only players can decide.
Zack is alive, but in another dimension or timeline also opens a brand new can of worms for the third entry and whether Aerith could also be brought back from the dead.
In addition to being stabbed by Sephiroth, the best -known scene between cloud and aerith is an interview that they have in a small children's park because the duo exchanges stories as if they had all the time in the world. A few minutes of vulnerability as two characters who will soon find themselves in the fate of the world, they have a moment to flirt, joke and relax in the middle of a broken world that have no chance of repairing.
He reflects the cloud scene and Tifa shares at the top of the Nibelheim water tower in many ways, the promises of how to protect each other, even if death comes to knock. As long as the cloud keeps this promise, it will have something worth returning home. Both of these scenes mean a lot to the community and can be considered as evidence of actions of romantic bonds with both women.
There is no correct answer to Cloud's romance
I am in a unique dilemma in terms of the answer to the question that this article represents. In my heart, I think the cloud belongs to Aerith and considers it an attractive romantic partner when you discuss the appearance, personality and kind of life that eventually live.
But deep down, I cannot deny the immense meaning of the cloud and the relationship of Tifa has, and why it is the most canonically Romance Final Fantasy 7 for all those years. But that was because Aerith has long been dead, and if it changes in some way, there will also be an interview around this love triangle. So there is no correct answer, and that's okay.
