Sorry I've been gone for two weeks because of college finals. Their killing me!!!!! Anyway to the subject at hand.

.[.pink.spider.].
To even use this as "proof" for your pairing, is quite silly and PROVES that you completely ignored the context of the statement.


Gee aren't you a hypocrite.

.[.pink.spider.].
Nojima's line is on a page all about locations.
The page has pictures and illustrations of places in the movie, including the Aerith-linked places. Thus he is stating that Cloud would physically be living with Tifa. Also "be" functions just as well as "live", by looking at the next sentence, the previous "be" was a replacement for the word "live".


Oh and the fact that they talk about Cloud and Tifa the most just happened to pass you by.

.[.pink.spider.].
Do remember this is a translation, it would be repeptitive to say live twice.
Simple reading the sentence one would assume that it means BE together in a romantic sense, but the 2nd sentence and the rest of the page iteself PROVES that they are talking about living together.
To prove what I'm saying let me make examples using the exact statement.

Inside, I felt one thing was for sure: Barret and Marlene would be together. Everyone would be living back home where they belonged.
or
Inside, I felt one thing was for sure: Riku, Sora and Kairi would be together. Everyone would be living back home where they belonged.


God this is sooo stupid. To "be together" implies a relationship between two people. It means much more then just physically living together. Unless you're a complete retard that should be common since. Just look at the quotes you used. Barret and Marlene don't just physically live together, they have a father/daughter relationship. And the Sora, Riku, and Kairi are together. In case you weren't paying attention to the game, the three of them are connected by their hearts. There is only one major difference between Cloud and Tifa and the examples you used. Barret is a grown man and Marleen is a little girl. Also Sora, Kairi, and Rikku are three people not two. Cloud and Tifa are a man and women who are said to be together. It doesn't take a fricken rocket scientist to figure out that they are a couple. Twindream has already been over this.

.[.pink.spider.].
This is hardly a romantic quote in any sense it seems that just because it said Cloud and Tifa you assumed it HAD to be romantic. Well its not so get over it.
Arguing this would be quite silly since it proves that you cant understand a statement and the context in which it was written.

The whole page is about the locations and reasons for having them. Other stuff that's talked about are:

- the Church and the foreshadowing of Aerith's appearance- "It just wouldn't be FFVII without Midgar"-- a small bit about what happened to people who lived in Midgar
- The Forgotten City as the first illustration for the movie's screenplay

There is seriously no mention of ANY relationship in this whole page.


Are you blind or something. They talk about Cloud and Tifa the most. They talk about their voice actors, character designings, and their relationship to each other through out the movie as well.

.[.pink.spider.].
And arguing the reunion files in general, as CANON PROOFZ for Cloti is quite stupid. Because the proof you seem to use is completely taken out of context and you make it seem what you want it to seem. The reunion files discuss the situations/story of advent children. If it were canon clotiness as you so do assume, wouldn't they prove that in advent children?


God you have got to be the biggest contradicting hypocrite I have ever had the displeasure of talking too. Almost all of the Cleris evidence you have used in the past has not only been blown out of proportion but sometimes a complete lie, not to mention all the times you only used evidence when it suts you and how you use your personal opinion for more then half of you're so called Cleris proof.

Here is an example of you using evidence to support Cleris then trying to act like you never said anything when it gets disprove

.[.pink.spider.].
It seems as though this voice actor of Cloud prefers Tifa but so what? Is that not the same as Amano prefering Aerith. That simply proves nothing except the dudes own personal preference does it not?


.[.pink.spider.].
Speaking of how CxA were a couple before Tifa was added leads to Amano Art!

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


Here are examples of you blowing things out of context

.[.pink.spider.].
Now lets think about this, this is Cloud we are talking about. Do you think he would simply out of the blue commit like that? I dont remember Cloud ever doing such a thing, for either girl! For Cloud to be so forward with his feelings, is very UN-Cloud like wouldn't you say? And if it was a so-called commitment I dont see it progress in advent children.


.[.pink.spider.].
Ok so Aerith is saying that she wants to be their for Cloud and be able to take care of him. But she knows that she is not capable because she is dead. So when she says "live" together together with Cloud, it literally means someone who is alive, living with Cloud. She is jealous not in the "I hate you way" She wishes that she was able to be with Cloud and take care of him, physically, but she is not able and so she entrusts that with Tifa. Also when she says she entrusts Tifa with her feelings she doesnt say she's giving up on Cloud, she's saying that since she knows that Tifa can be with Cloud in the real world that she wants to take care of Cloud for her.


Oh and lest not forget the completely stupid crap you have said too.

.[.pink.spider.].
"Cloud discussed forever with her"
FOREVER? lol that doesn’t make sense! I mean I just discussed "forever" with someone? what?! its also funny how you cant discuss forever! wow and this has been proved by square too?


.[.pink.spider.].
“The Calling is a Cloud and Aeris music video”
It pertains far more to CxA then to CxT and cloud and aerith are featured when the song is playing. But I dont every remember saying it was a CxA "music video".


.[.pink.spider.].
Well did you know that "I want to meet you" in Japanese context also pertains to a sexual request? So theirs a possibility for Cloud and Aerith you see?


.[.pink.spider.].
And if you actually read what the creator said you wouldn't make a fool out of yourself by posting lies


And my personal favorite

.[.pink.spider.].
You can go up to Nomura yourself and babble your koibito nonsense and I bet you 100% he’ll either laugh at you or been totally confused about what you’re saying.


I don't even know why you bother to debit here. You expect us Clotifs to critically analyze every fricken piece of evidence we present, when you Cleris can't even produce a fourth of the evidence we have to support your Cleris paring. You Cleris scream that Cloud and Aeris are a couple unless the creators say otherwise, then when they finally do, you try to deny it and twist it's meaning around, just so Cleris can still be cannon in your little world. Aeris and Cloud are not, and never will be, a couple. We have plenty of evidence and you barley have any. Cloud and Tifa are cannon, so just live with it.

RxH, it's a little harsh to say that Cloti is canon and that the Cleris should just get over it already. Even if they don't have as much proof(Which I have found is true), they still do have proof and other things to consider. As much as it seems like Cloti is canon from what the link in your sig says, and after Maiden Who Travels The Planet, it's still not definite yet. I think it's very close to official, but it's just not quite there yet. I don't think you should say something so harsh until it's actually stated that Tifa is Cloud's love interest--- because if it were canon, wouldn't they have just straight out of said it by now, instead of 'hidden' messages?

And about the artwork-- that picture appears to be a drawing of Cloud lowering Aeris into the water after she dies, or something similiar/depicting that. That was the turning point of the game, so I think it only makes sense to make art of it.

I have to go to a play, so let me spurt a bit of japanese knowledge to you.

What you say:
"The word koibito, which was used to describe Tifa only has romantic connotations and is only used when someone is in a reciprocated romance!"

Oh really? Nihon no Koibito= "Japan's sweetheart". And Shiroi Koibito is a brand of white chocolate cookies from Japan. Their name means "white beloved ones". So, no, "koibito" isn't just used to describe people in a relationship, it is used as a general adjective as well.

Also, according to Shadow Spirit(a Japanese descendant, who was raised in a household learning Japanese customs from members of his family who were born and raised in Japan, and who is also fluent in the Japanese language) and Resha (who is also raised in a household much like SS's and has many friends who are Japanese natives as well as FFVII fans), fans who are attempting to translate the Japanese sections of Reunion Files are mucking it up. They ask that you please stop butchering the Japanese language and wish for all FFVII fans to know that Japanese is a difficult language to fully grasp unless you are native to Japan or have been raised according to Japanese culture/customs. Therefore, please allow me to educate you on the word koi bito, as described by Shadow Spirit and Resha.

Koi bito (that's right, it is actually two words): Koi= romantic love; bito= person (slang for hito). Koi bito, written in katakana or hiragana can have various definitions, such as "sweetheart", "lover", or "boyfriend/girlfriend" (its meaning can be confusing when written this way). However, koi bito written in kanji (as it is in Reunion Files), is simply "the person who loves" and offers no answers on whether or not this person's feelings are returned. In other words, Tifa embodies the traits of "a person who loves", and nothing more. It says nothing about any type of reciprocated feelings from anyone. Resha also stated that, if Cloud and Tifa were in a romantic relationship, Tifa would more than likely be called aikoi or aikou.

Koi bito, according to Resha and Shadow Spirit, is one of the most overused Japanese words with non-Japanese anime/manga fans. They take the meaning to simply be "girlfriend/boyfriend", which isn't always the case. As previously stated, koi bito can be spelled out with either katakana/hiragana or kanji. When kanji is used, the meaning is "the one who does the loving", but it is unknown if that person's love is returned.

ALSO its interesting to note that you say that cloti is CANON while clerith is favored!
In Japan consider ClAerith to be the canon couple, although some of them do prefer CloTi as a fanon couple. None of them are up in the air over this koibito business and, when asked, they say that it is obvious that Cloud loves Aerith because of what is shown in the original game as well as the movie.

My my its completely ignorant to say CLOTI is canon! Why? Let me enrich your minds.

From as far back as the release of Kingdom Hearts:

Q: "Okay then, so the person Cloud is searching for is Aeris, right?"

Nomura: "Well, what do you think? If indeed it was Aeris, then the bit in the ending was the answer. You might say it was made so you can take it that way. Cloud is a popular character, and I don't really want to decide myself, yes he is like this. Because players make strong conclusions by themselves, I want to leave room for everyone's line of thought."

Nomura stated that interpreting Aerith as the one Cloud was searching for was a correct interpretation, but then backtracked and stated that he wanted to leave room for other interpretations because he didn't wish to decide anything for Cloud due to other fans' "strong conclusions" [in regards to the love triangle]. Nomura is a smart man... and a good businessman. He isn't going to solve the LT simply because he would anger a large portion of the fandom either way. He would lose money when that angry half (*cough*) stopped buying FF products. Nomura has discovered that it is far more profitable to drop little hints to support ClAerith and little scraps for CloTis to twist. Keeping everyone arguing just keeps us all begging for more, doesn't it? However, the answers are there if you look. It isn't really "open to interpretation" at all.

From Newtype USA (Oct. 2005):

Open Ending: To this day, FFVII continues to draw some fire for its ambiguous ending. It's a satisfying conclusion [and beautiful to behold], but it doesn't hold the player's hand through a lengthy denouement the way 16-bit Final Fantasy games do. That shift in presentation, Tetsuya Nomura insists, was entirely intentional-- the goal was to make players think a little harder and pay closer attention to a more complex storyline. "I don't know if you could really say that FFVII had any unanswered questions to speak of," claims Nomura, taking what some of his fans [or detractors] might characterize as a slightly controversial stand. "We just created FFVII with the idea that we wouldn't just come out and tell people the answers. The answers are there, but no one is there to tell you where to look for them. We didn't leave anything hanging." Nomura, of course, had the advantage of the original game's scriptwriter sitting across the office to point out where to look. But, on the bright side, if Square had pointed everything out, there might not have been enough demand for a sequel like Advent Children.

To work out all the movie's secrets, the hardest of the hardcore should plan on multiple viewings. Like the original game, "Advent Children follows suit in not revealing the answers directly," says a slightly cryptic Tetsuya Nomura. "Some parts you'll probably have to watch several times before you get it, but it should come eventually."

So, why do all of this to just go, "Oh, BTW, Tifa is Cloud's lover!" in one paragraph in a book? 0_o That makes absolutely no sense. The answers are there if you look for them, but S-E is never going to give a direct, definite answer to the love triangle, as some CloTis are suggesting they have.

I can't believe you're still complaining about the koibito thing. While it is an added proof to Cloud and Tifa it's not the only one we have. I guess it's easy for you to forget the mounds of other proof Clotifs have. Also you want to argue about "koibito" then read this.

You know, I think you just made this crap up, but I'll answer to it anyway. So, because most people like Aeris more, that makes Cloud and Aeris cannon. That sounds like really stupid logic to me. Not to mention, that since AC's release the polls in Japan are a 50/50 split between the popularity of the two parings.

God I can't believe you're bring up KH AGAIN!!! I could care less what he says about KH because it has nothing to do with FF7. Aeris and Cloud could be shone having sex in KH for all I care, and it still wouldn't be cannon to FF7. Get over it.

Also, Nomura has stated that he doesn't really care who fans want to get together in FF7, and I highly doubt there are people stupid enough to stop buying SE games, just because Cleris isn't cannon, especially since FF13, vs13, and KH3 is coming out soon. SE could announce that Yuffie and Sid have become a couple and they still wouldn't be in trouble of losing any business. They have too meany other games that people still want.

I put both of you're quotes together because you're both pretty much saying the same thing, so I'm going to answer them both at once.

Nomura has said that their not an American company, there for, they don't follow the same path of having their characters say "I love you!" out right. Instead they would rather point in a single direction and then have you come to the only logical conclusion there could possibly be. Also, telling the fans to "come up with their own conclusions" seems to be a usual trend for Nomura, however, it seems that Nojima doesn't feel he needs to use the same discression. If he did, then he wouldn't have come out and said that "Cloud and Tifa are together". No mater how pink or any other Cleris tries to twist it's meaning, we all know that it doesn't take a genius to figure out what their saying.

"Why are we bringing up koibito again? The kanji says it all. It has the characters for "love" and "person". It is not an adjective. It is a noun. It means "girlfriend". I don't think Nomura meant that they were officially a couple. But that he definitely means she is not his sister or mother. Get it through your thick heads. End of story. Move along."


As I said earlier the kanji used for koibito in the reunion files was not lover it is as simple as that.

Well it seems you havent figured it out : D

Nojima explains, "Inside, I felt one thing was for sure: Cloud and Tifa would be together. Everybody would be back home where they belonged. Two years is too short to forget the past completely, but it's still a pretty long time... And two years older was a good age for Marlene to start talking a little." The reason Nojima narrowed the location down to the area surrounding their house, he says, was to create a sense of crisis close to home.

Nojima was speaking of locations here, people. Directly in front of this quote it says "Why we chose to set it two years later...". It doesn't say anything about the relationship between Cloud and Tifa (or anyone else for that matter). The entire page (and the next page after) that this quote appears on focuses on locations, not relationships. Cloud and Tifa were together in Edge at Seventh Heaven. They are the only two from the original game's party that are together in some form or fashion when AC rolls around. Honestly, all you have to do is take a look at these pages in RF to see that I am correct. The rest of the page was devoted to other locations all over Gaia-- the Forgotten City, the Church, the Northern Crater....

It doesnt make any sense to say that for example in an essay about locations to talk about:
location 1 location 2 location 3 CLOTI IS CANON location 4
It all goes down to the CONTEXT of the statement.
Here I shall give you the definition since you do not seem to understand what it means. Taken directly from dictionary.com

Quote:
1. the parts of a written or spoken statement that precede or follow a specific word or passage, influencing its meaning or effect: You have misinterpreted my remark because you took it out of context.
2. the set of circumstances or facts that surround a particular event, situation, etc.


You cant talk about one thing and then suddenly say something that has nothing to do with what you were previously taking about.
Based upon the context of the Reunion Files they were talking about Cloud and Tifa living together, physically, at a location. That is that. No matter how many times you say "Nojima is clleetoo 100%" or that they will BE together you obviously ignored the whole statement and clinged to that one sentence.
And if you have OHSO many cloti proofs then why are you clinging to something that isnt true? Maybe because that proof you think you have isnt proof at all. Now doesnt that make sense? : D

From Distance, the directors' commentary:

Quote:
Nomura: "The words 'memetic legacy' are used a lot in the film but in AC, rather than focusing on memories we wanted to show that consciousness is what lives on. We took the ending of the game and expanded on that idea. Even if they're dead their consciousness is still with us. As for Cloud... he sees Aerith several times throughout the film. It's not that he sees her because he feels her presence. He sees her because her consciousness lives on inside him."

So, what is Nomura saying? Basically, he is saying that Aerith lives on in Cloud's heart. He is using subtle language, so as not to upset the CloTis, who make up a large part of the FFVII fandom, but, when it all boils down, he is confirming that Aerith is the one in Cloud's heart. I have followed AC since it was first announced. I remember some of the early scans that stated that Aerith was the one in Cloud's heart and that Tifa understood this. More than once, it was stated that Aerith lived on in Cloud's heart. I even remember a scan that said that Cloud's dream was to meet Aerith again. However, these heavily pro-ClAeris statements disappeared after Nomura said that he had been told not to contradict certain fan interpretations of the game. And, after that, things became much more subtle. But, as you can see from all of the scenes with Aerith, the creators still managed to portray the deep feelings and connection between Cloud and Aerith, something Cloud clearly does not have with Tifa.

Also, telling the fans to "come up with their own conclusions" seems to be a usual trend for Nomura, however, it seems that Nojima doesn't feel he needs to use the same discression. If he did, then he wouldn't have come out and said that "Cloud and Tifa are together". No mater how pink or any other Cleris tries to twist it's meaning, we all know that it doesn't take a genius to figure out what their saying.


Well it seems you havent figured it out : D

Nojima explains, "Inside, I felt one thing was for sure: Cloud and Tifa would be together. Everybody would be back home where they belonged. Two years is too short to forget the past completely, but it's still a pretty long time... And two years older was a good age for Marlene to start talking a little." The reason Nojima narrowed the location down to the area surrounding their house, he says, was to create a sense of crisis close to home.

Nojima was speaking of locations here, people. Directly in front of this quote it says "Why we chose to set it two years later...". It doesn't say anything about the relationship between Cloud and Tifa (or anyone else for that matter). The entire page (and the next page after) that this quote appears on focuses on locations, not relationships. Cloud and Tifa were together in Edge at Seventh Heaven. They are the only two from the original game's party that are together in some form or fashion when AC rolls around. Honestly, all you have to do is take a look at these pages in RF to see that I am correct. The rest of the page was devoted to other locations all over Gaia-- the Forgotten City, the Church, the Northern Crater....

It doesnt make any sense to say that for example in an essay about locations to talk about:
location 1 location 2 location 3 CLOTI IS CANON location 4
It all goes down to the CONTEXT of the statement.
Here I shall give you the definition since you do not seem to understand what it means. Taken directly from dictionary.com

Quote:
1. the parts of a written or spoken statement that precede or follow a specific word or passage, influencing its meaning or effect: You have misinterpreted my remark because you took it out of context.
2. the set of circumstances or facts that surround a particular event, situation, etc.


You cant talk about one thing and then suddenly say something that has nothing to do with what you were previously taking about.
Based upon the context of the Reunion Files they were talking about Cloud and Tifa living together, physically, at a location. That is that. No matter how many times you say "Nojima is clleetoo 100%" or that they will BE together you obviously ignored the whole statement and clinged to that one sentence.
And if you have OHSO many cloti proofs then why are you clinging to something that isnt true? Maybe because that proof you think you have isnt proof at all. Now doesnt that make sense? : D


You can go on and on about your stupid "Oh their only taking about locations" and "They meant only physically" all you want but it doesn't make it true. I have already proven you completely wrong in my statement on the top, and with examples you used no less, but I guess you're as blind to that, as you are about the whole "locations" crap. I guess SOME people just arnt smart to get the painfully obvious. I bet Nojima could b***h slap you in the face and tell you "Cloud and Tifa are a couple" and you would probably say "Oh you mean a platonic couple." It's really pathetic how far you twist s**t around, just so Cloud and Aeris can be a couple in you're little fantasy world. Also, nothing you say has credibility anymore. You have twisted things completely out of context, used you're own opinion as proof, contradicted you're self a number of times, and have even denied you're own evidence when it doesn't suite Cleris. No one believes a word you say anymore because you're never consistent in what you say. So go ahead and keep denying irrefutable Clotif evidence and keep deluding yourself into thinking that Cloud and Aeris are a couple. At least people that still live in the real world, know that Cleris never was, and never will be a couple.

From Distance, the directors' commentary:

Nomura: "The words 'memetic legacy' are used a lot in the film but in AC, rather than focusing on memories we wanted to show that consciousness is what lives on. We took the ending of the game and expanded on that idea. Even if they're dead their consciousness is still with us. As for Cloud... he sees Aerith several times throughout the film. It's not that he sees her because he feels her presence. He sees her because her consciousness lives on inside him."


You know I find it funny that you Cleris are so hung up on this statement. In fact right after he says this he mentions how his grandmother will also live on in his consciousness. I guess Aeris being compared to Nomura grandmother just screams true Cleris love. Not to mention that he says nothing about Aeris living in his heart (as you do) he says "consciousness." If you knew anything about English you would know the difference.

.[.pink.spider.].
So, what is Nomura saying? Basically, he is saying that Aerith lives on in Cloud's heart. He is using subtle language, so as not to upset the CloTis, who make up a large part of the FFVII fandom, but, when it all boils down, he is confirming that Aerith is the one in Cloud's heart.


Oh yes, you must know exactly what he really means since you must be Nomura himself. Using more of your stupid opinion as fact I see.

.[.pink.spider.].
I have followed AC since it was first announced. I remember some of the early scans that stated that Aerith was the one in Cloud's heart and that Tifa understood this. More than once, it was stated that Aerith lived on in Cloud's heart. I even remember a scan that said that Cloud's dream was to meet Aerith again. However, these heavily pro-ClAeris statements disappeared after Nomura said that he had been told not to contradict certain fan interpretations of the game.


More made up bullshit by pink. Keep going, you're only proving my last statement to be even more true.

.[.pink.spider.].
And, after that, things became much more subtle. But, as you can see from all of the scenes with Aerith, the creators still managed to portray the deep feelings and connection between Cloud and Aerith, something Cloud clearly does not have with Tifa.


Yeah deep mother and child feelings. You're right, Cloud and Tifa don't feel that way about each other.

Here are some of the stupidest things you have said in the past:

Quote:
Oh and just so you know there are more Aeris haters then Tifa haters.


Quote:
SE has referred to Tifa as a lover


I have already proven your koibito nonsense wrong. And yet you cling to this, why? Because you cant accept that Cloti is not the couple and never will be, because you cant understand the usage of japanese and you like to twist what the creators say! Sound familiar?

Quote:
SE has claimed that Cloud and Tifa should be together

"You have twisted things completely out of context"

Wow that is what I have been ranting to you about the whole time.

And you obviously have NO common sense. And did you not listen to a word about the context of a statement.
No you have not in anyway proven that it wasnt about locations. Because as I said earlier it doesnt make sense to talk about one thing and then suddenly say something that has nothing to do with what you were previously taking about. Because THAT CONTRADICTS the meaning of context. Something you obviously dont understand.

You keep repeating that I'm such a liar blabbity blah blah but you have not proven anything. All you have proven to me is that you have a temper and like to bash people. And who would believe you it seems to me that you are a mindless basher who thinks anything with Cloud and/or Tifa is proof.
Cloti is not canon no matter how many times you try and say it is. You can twist whatever the creators say and you can say I twist evidence, but hey that doesnt prove the canonness of Cloti. The moment when Nomura comes out and ends the LTD we will then see who is right. Because I'm tired of having to repeat myself and hearing you cuss and repeat yourself.

Quote:
I bet Nojima could b***h slap you in the face and tell you "Cloud and Tifa are a couple"


That's funny because that would never happen...why because Cloud and Tifa are not a couple : D But when I go to Japan in 2009 I'll get a "special interview" for you.

"At least people that still live in the real world, know that Cleris never was, and never will be a couple."

Who are these people that live in the "real world", Clotis? xD you're funny. Now you're going to go on about how creators lurv Cloti. I'm ready to hear again.

Quote:
Yeah deep mother and child feelings. You're right, Cloud and Tifa don't feel that way about each other.



The direct quote from Reunion Files:

"Tifa was a very difficult character to create. Like Aerith, she has a maternal side to her, but in a different sense. Not only was she looking after Marlene and Denzel, but she also felt a certain maternal bond to Cloud, who is a 'big kid' himself in some respects. Yet despite this, she continues working as the manager of Seventh Heaven without a complaint." (Nomura)

So, Nomura states that both Tifa and Aerith have maternal sides to them, but that Tifa's maternal side is different. He then applies Tifa's maternal side directly to Cloud and states right there that Tifa has a maternal bond with Cloud. Why paint a picture of Tifa as a mother to Marlene, Denzel, and Cloud, and then turn around and say that she is his lover? That is a sickening idea! Are you CloTis *****, or what? xD Honestly, Cloud acts like a rebellious teenager all throughout Case of Tifa and AC, running off on his motorcycle, staying gone all the time, clamming up and not speaking with Tifa, hiding things from Tifa, etc... Tifa, on the other hand, acts like a concerned parent, worrying about Cloud and scolding him on several occasions. A few examples of this...

From Case of Tifa:

(During a conversation with Tifa) ... Cloud made a familiar face, like a child who knew a scolding was inevitable...

Cloud gazed at Tifa with the expression of a child whose worst secret had just been let out of the bag...

...He's like a child, Tifa thought. While it made her sad that Cloud could see another world she knew nothing about, the idea his world was expanding at all was a welcome one. Yes... Maybe this is kind of what a mother feels like. Once she saw Cloud off, Tifa was alone with the new emotions growing inside her and was happy.

If Tifa is happy with her new role as a mother figure to Cloud, I have a hard time understanding why CloTis force her into a romance that she seems to have given up on. While Tifa may or may not harbor romantic feelings for Cloud by the time AC rolls around, she has clearly accepted the fact that she has no future with Cloud as anything other than a friend who is like family.

So what again was your "Cloud and Tifa don't feel that way about each other" nonsense. It seems you "denied you're own evidence when it doesn't suite Cloti". Ooh the hypocrisy.

Also from Reunion Files: (which I have previously pointed out)

"Although there's a lot to Tifa's character, she's actually very much like any other woman who's been left behind by a man. The director, Nomura, said he wanted to make sure she wasn't a clingy woman, but to portray her as though she's been hurt emotionally in a way that others around her cannot easily detect. But Tifa has expressed her feelings plainly to Cloud a number of times." (Nojima)

Ouch! This statement pretty much screams rejection. Tifa was left behind by Cloud? She has expressed her feelings to Cloud many times? And yet he still shows no signs of reciprocation? Wow, no wonder she decided that maternal feelings were better than romantic ones. xD I also find it amusing that Nomura specifically stated that he didn't want to portray Tifa as clingy. That statement, in and of itself, proves that Tifa's affections are one-sided. Women don't have to cling to men who reciprocate their feelings. If Nomura wanted to make sure that Tifa didn't seem clingy in AC, he must have considered her actions to be that of a clingy woman at some point and decided that he didn't wish for her to seem pathetic in this movie. However, he still wished to portray her as someone who had been hurt emotionally. So, logically, a CloTi romance is pretty far-fetched at this point, yes?

Ouch...kinda harsh there Pink. Ayyy....I don't know if being someone with maternal instincts or with some maternal bond really excludes them from being lovers. rolleyes We all know that both Aeris and Tifa have maternal insticts with Tifa's case a little different because she's caring for Cloud yes, BUT Pink, you keep neglecting the other piece. You keep putting the "mother" label on Tifa when clearly it's not the entire case. Cloud, who is a 'big kid' himself in SOME respects. The way you say it is like Cloud is a complete child. rolleyes If you remember Case of Tifa, it shows Cloud with a father instinct towards Denzel and Marlene. This doesn't exactly say 'big kid' to you does it? Tifa even states that Cloud is like a young father and that this was the family she wanted. Tifa does have a certain maternal bond to Cloud, but only because he's still developing as a person. *and I've said this for about a thousand times already*

We have all said this a thousand times but she's too stupid to listen. It doesn't mater what irrefutable proof we have supporting Clotif she's still going to stupidly scream Cleris until she's blue in the face. I know you're trying to be nice to her but you can't have an intelligent discussion with someone who is too diluted to see reason. She's not smart enough to waist you're time on. We have all tried having an intelligent debate with her and yet she still twists things to her own liking and makes up lies. Anyone with half a brain could read from page 79 to here and see that were right. She's really not worth waisting you're time on, which is why I have stopped replying to her bullshit.

Out of morbid curiousity... since the koibito argument comes up so much here. Did the whole "dearest one" debate never get to American shores or am I just so old that no one else remembers it? They're basically the same arguments except the "dearest one" argument appeared in 1998 when Squaresoft released those scene cap models. I think looking at both sides of this different arguments reveals something worth noting about both sides of the fanbase. So does no one remember it, did it not get to America, or what? I'm not debating either side... I just want to know because no one here has ever mentioned it.
