@LUCID_REVERIE Great job, pure art and analysis. I use to learn of the endless, and pretty well made portraits of personality symbolism some have recreated and published in the web - not this case -, but I tend to play it all down to certain point where it is clear the amount of non perverted nor disturbed authenticity present in Cloud's character. For the record, authenticity does not mean neatness, nor anything as near as a blank page, like a very begining of everything. Cloud is a social kid growing up, tending to go far. But, as the best role player perhaps ever being put in place in a game as he is, everyone is thirsty about appropriating his role first, and then to project on it. Is'n it? After all, who is entirely blanket in the midst of a passion? Which being can be some kind of non-reminiscent person of their culture, their references, their mere and loud inexperience during their first, or even subsequent love stories? Come on, this story is georgous as relatable as it is, precisely because of its realism ^^ And that is something that may hurts that ones who deny it, or try to.

Usually I never comment under these types of videos(In reality I have always been afraid to express myself online because I think that my opinion doesn't count or doesn't matter or what I write doesn't make sense so I just watch), also because I'm not one of those who fights or argues over ships between who should be with whom, it really annoys me to argue about this type of thing, a bit no sense as it is I see it but it's just my opinion obviously. However, what I want to say is that in my opinion each of us has our own interpretation in the end, there are those who prefer or interpret Cloud x Aerith more and there are those who prefer or interpret Cloud x Tifa more, it's all a question of how you experience the game and how you interpret it depending on the relationships between Cloud, Aerith and Tifa. I personally (but this is MY INTERPRETATION, therefore very subjective and not objective let's be clear, it's my point of view) prefer Cloud and Tifa, but obviously there may be many other people who interpret it in a very different way from mine, like it may be that there are also other people who think the same way as me, and I absolutely agree with this!. I like that people have different interpretations of the relationships between Cloud, Tifa and Aerith, but up to a certain point, because when these interpretations start to become toxic the situation already changes. It's as if many people wanted to impose their thoughts or interpretation of the game on someone else, who perhaps interpreted it differently, so it would be more logical instead of arguing, to be interested and also discover something more about other people's interpretations, rather than belittling them as often happens unfortunately, and I'm sorry. In the sense: if I prefer Cloud x Tifa more, and I see that some other person prefers Cloud x Aerith more, I'm certainly not the one who insults or contradicts the person who prefers or interprets Cloud x Aerith more, I would never dare In fact I respect it, but I don't agree with my personal interpretation. (I have always seen Aerith much more as a maternal figure and that she can be a point of reference for everyone, especially for Cloud to move forward in his life, a salvation, even beyond death, his conscience and his memory she still lives vividly in everyone's hearts and minds for what she did, in fact the game was based on the concept of life after death. Just think that everyone in the film wears a pink ribbon in memory of Aerith, as if she were always together at their side even if not physically, really beautiful, obviously these are also my personal interpretations don't kill me please hahaha...). As I said, for me personally it's up to personal and subjective interpretation. In my opinion, the developers have given us the freedom and the possibility to choose/interpret (also through the interactive in-game responses made to the player himself to empathize even more and make his own choices, unfortunately however making the player choose his own choices and interpretations then also leads to conflicts between Clerith ships etc...) who do we prefer as a romantic couple between Tifa and Aerith in a certain sense, and that's fine!. I really loved this game so much and I definitely don't just focus on who Cloud should be with (unfortunately the feuds between ships are really toxic and I don't like it when people argue about these things, I'm also quite upset that the community does this, because in the end they are discussing their own interpretations of the game and how one experiences the story from their point of view, as I see it.....or maybe I'm the stupid one and I didn't understand the story(?) I don't know... if anyone reads this comment tell me), there are so many other beautiful things to discuss about this story, and this world is truly fascinating for anyone who loved the franchise... sorry for writing so much but I wanted to express myself even if I almost never do it... (if something is written badly in English I'm sorry I'm Italian)😅Sorry I didn't see the whole video though...

This is why we referenced the novels. The writers make it so Aerith is the default love interest regardless of who the player chooses. Cloud will choose Aerith AGAINST the player's wishes. This is why the credits and game codes default to Aerith in case of a tie breaker. I showed the hidden game codes, it's Aerith. I don't get why people don't realize this even when we showed it using split screen? I'm doing it for Rebirth too, it's the same thing. Their missions are "mirrors." Aerith is the primary female lead just like the Original.

@silvesss Advent Children The Novel On The Way To A Smile FF7 Remake Traces Of Two Pasts You can buy all 3 of them on Amazon, it's from Square Enix Novels. Advent Children The Novel is part of the Advent Children's LE Director's Cut. This one is with a DVD set. They explain why Cloud is estranged from Tifa in the novels: Including why they have separate bedrooms. The basically don't get along, and they argue over lifestyle differences, the delivery service, and parenting Marlene. Cloud in the books is lying about his home being inside of Aerith's Church and hiding he has Geostigma and he slowly ghosts her in the novels. Including in Advent Children The Novel.

said anything about Tifa, but I always find it strange to see your boyfriend grieving the death of other woman, okay that woman was supposed to be his best friend but he never contact u later on, pushed you and the other friends away while remaining stayed in the place that held the most memories between him and the dead girl? Even on Tifa's dating route, the conversation usually revolves around Aerith, if not they would talk/fight about their past tragedies. while Tifa is depicted always jealous of Cloud and Aerith's relationship, Aerith subtly pushed Tifa and Cloud to be together (did anyone notice?) perhaps she hoped cloud will have someone at his side after she died. In conclusion, I feel sorry for Tifa, she was a beautiful, strong, independent woman who could defeat any strong enemy, but they turned her into a rebound.

She started to be close to him (to a distance that Cloud doesn’t mind) and touched him every opportunity she gets (sign that she really likes him), to be Cloud the one who touches her by hugging her, protecting her with his own body, and touching her face. Plus, Cloud smiles many many times only with Aerith. She really knows how to break Cloud’s wall. 🥰🥰🥰

You know , I used to hate Clerith CP when I first start to play OG FF7 ( Yes , even my friends hate Aerith and prefer Tifa ). Yea , I was Cloti fan before when back then. But after I complete FF7 Remake . I regrets my Cloti shipping and prefer Clerith shipping , because while Tifa is a perfect woman ....I feel like...there's no chemistry between her and Cloud of course...something seems really off...instead I find that Aerith has chemistry with Cloud , and whenever Cloud is with her. He sees very relax and happy with her and of course , he is willing to do anything for her and doesn't ask anything. No wonder they both attract each other and fall in love. I gotta say it again. Boys prefer Tifa *REAL MAN Loves Aerith* I really wish this time both Aerith & Cloud have a happy ending so don't let us down SE!!

@@francisco24slb1, I don’t think that aerith and cloud are separated forever in the rebirth . We clearly see a rainbow visual effect when cloud deflected sephiroth’s blade . The same thing happened when Zack created a timeline with his crisis decision ( cure cloud or save Biggs ). We clearly see that cloud could physically interact with aerith in the white space between dimensions , sephiroth also acknowledged her existence. Furthermore , red managed to sense her , so cloud is 100 percent not hallucinating . The only counter argument to cloud and aerith not reuniting is aerith saying «sayonara» right before the credits roll . This word usually means «goodbye forever» . You may interpret it as a last farewell , but during the credits we have nptk . The last lyric of the song states :«still I know one day you’ll come and find me » . It may be a foreshadowing . So keep your hopes up . P.s when you have doubts think of the main theme of ff7 remake /rebirth . Basically what is the purpose of the story

Even the whole promises theme speaks huge volumes about both couples. Cloud and Tifa is based upon a relationship formed around a childhood promise. That promise involved Cloud evolving to become Tifas idea of a romantic partner-someone strong and famous who could save her when she was in a bind. Now that No Promises to Keep is out it almost immediately contradicts everything Cloud and Tifa is about-Cloud and Aerith dont need to promise anything to each other because they know they will find their way back to one another regardless of the circumstances-even death
@aura16542 ай бұрын
I was watching a blind playthrough (Kastaclysm) and she was saying something like Aerith has a thing for members of SOLDIER or the hero types and that Tifa and Cloud were the main leads/couple while Aerith was just an option, I was like what you're talking about. Needless to say, there are many people who spread that wisdom among their followers, she is not the only one. That promise involved Cloud evolving into Zack. Tifa's idea of a romantic partner is called Zack Fair.

Cloud wants another date and Aerith is happy to hear this, saying she understands where their relationship stands.

@@raquelmota14 You're right, that's one even more chance to maneuver in between the spectre of choices the developers give, seems to be the last in the game and in the crucial moment of the whole story. Holy materia is a fancy metaphor for the affectivity they've shared, undoubtedly a sublime way of that expression than a mere sexual performance or something of that nature. That's not to undermine the physical side, wich is clearly in frank ascent since the beginning and pointing at high smoothly levels in the course of the progression these two are developing till the end. But, either way, the lowest affection direction hooks up fine with this context of progression, so to speak. Or saying it in negative terms: Cloud's 'Why not?' is not NecessarilY a hurdle to comprehend the kind of intimacy that envelops both. As for Zack's taste towards women kind of embedded in Cloud's mind or personality or way of being, well, we all here are going to agree, either by the natural sense of this love story narrative, either due to plot knowledge. That byass, should I say fallacy or misunderstanding, is ever rapidly debunked. Suffice to recall that that 'memory thing', actually, comes from the phenomenon depicted in Tifa's flashback, in OG, of her first reencounter with Cloud in Midgar's train station since their childhood, being in action Jenova's memo copy powers by the first touch of both. Anyway, giving a certain heritage of Zack upon Cloud that is doubtless and pertains to Cloud's arch entirely, it is about common sense to observe that the seduction, flirting and intimation of the famous couple is something that evolves with the same authenticity any love story shall tell. I use to learn of the endless, and pretty well made portraits of personality symbolism some have recreated and published in the web, but I tend to play it all down to certain point where it is clear the amount of non perverted nor disturbed authenticity present in Cloud's character. For the record, authenticity does not mean neatness, nor anything as near as a blank page, like a very begining of everything. Cloud is a social kid growing up, tending to go far.

Come on, this story is georgous as relatable as it is, precisely because of its realism ^^ And that is something that may hurts that ones who deny it, or try to. On that note, I have the intuition - sure nothing from another world - that one main component of Aerith's relationship denial among us, and here does not matter the preferences, is the fact that she was doomed to be torn apart form her physical agency, and that is something so much unbearable in the reign of our current feelings that can only be assimilated as much as it is founded out of fantasy. Not in vain, her death is the greatest gravity body in this amazing journey. Maybe there resides its infinite value: that the turmoil always invades passionate affairs and so this story hits right on the core. A very factual one, indeed.

SPOILERS UPDATE 3: There's infinite timelines and universes all occurring within the Lifestream, past, present, future everything that ever was. So an infinite amount of Aerith, Cloud, and Zack existing in the Lifestream and thus the multiverse across time, across life and death. I've sort of analyzed the THIRD game's ending, and it's looking to stay a romantic tragedy. Possible Endings (Random Order, Cloud will reunite with Aerith in most of them, but it's for a limited time): Also major spoilers, the lying between Tifa and Cloud is in EVERY SCENE, and also in IDLE GAMEPLAY. Their lying is from the novel "FF7 Remake Traces Of Two Pasts": Every single scene they are lying about the broken promise, lying about childhood b^llying & exclusion, lying about Tifa flirting (both subtle and not subtle) with Zack when they were teenagers, and lying about who the SOLDIER was in Nibelheim (it's Zack, Cloud stole his career and accolades in order to win Tifa over). Tifa is also lying she made a broken promise not just with Cloud, but with Emilio, Lester, and Tyler (she made promises with all teenage boys in the village, and SPOILERS all the teenagers promised her the same things, and all 4 males broke their promise, including Cloud). The one who kept Tifa's Childhood Promise, is ZACK (just play Crisis Core Reunion, and it explains everything who the hero was, it was Zack doing all the saving in live gameplay, he's fighting for literal days before his death in Crisis Core Reunion). In "Traces Of Two Pasts", Tifa had b^llied Cloud through socially excluding him for nearly 20 years (even into adulthood). I have no idea how a romance is going to develop based on lying and deceiving each other. They could throw the whole "The Lifestream fixes everything" or "forgiveness" argument but that's also nearly 20 years of being excluded. There's clearly feelings developing between them, but while playing, nearly every sentence they have contains lies about the past and present. It is worse lying and deception than in the Original (which I played recently). Enough deception to manipulate Cloud to give Sephiroth the Black Materia (just like in OG). Possible Endings (Aerith has a SLIM Chance she will end up with Cloud, like 25% chance). But Cloud is clearly in love with her, especially doing split screen of all stories together, it's clearly Aerith that is Cloud's true love (it crosses multiple universes). From the way Aerith speaks about it, she knows at some point she and Cloud will be reincarnated again, and fall in love all over again, we just don't know when or where. Possible endings: 1. Reunite, but Cloud can only be with Aerith in the Lifestream, the afterlife, therefore reuniting with her through his death. Cloud at the end of OG says, "I want to go to the Promised Land, I think I can meet her there." That can be achieved through death and reincarnation in some form, or being in between life and death. - Someone pointed out this is like Noctis and Luna, tbh I hope this is not the ending as that is still a sad ending. 2. Reunite, and potential children. The world is reborn anew. A new timeline is created where most characters survive. There's a really big easter egg in Traces Of Two Pasts on page 240. This is either the saddest easter egg ever, where Aerith becomes a mother, or foreshadowing a good ending. But there's a twist with this easter egg. 3. Two Endings - This one I'm still exploring. I think this would be the WORST idea for Square Enix to do. I found mirrored footage of Cloud copying Zack's romantic gestures and using them on Tifa. It's quite bad and extremely triggering. He basically uses Zack's romantic moves on Tifa in The Sky Wheel. I still can't believe I found this footage. I highly recommend NOT watching my second video if you really like Cloud and Tifa, he is using Tifa as a rebound. He also lies to Aerith insisting nothing is wrong and that he's himself, but he's lying to her too about being an ex-SOLDIER. He's lying to both female leads, but he lies to Tifa the most in Rebirth. :( 4. Something different? 5. 1 unified dimension. "Reborn" The story will end either in Sector 5's Church, Loveless Street, or back to a key location (think Midgar or The Northern Crater). The group will all convene at one point Cloud, Aerith, Zack and Tifa will cross timelines through the Lifestream, but we won't know if all parties will be able to stay together. Aerith's Song, "No Promises to Keep" guarantees a reunion is inevitable. There's extra lyrics in the CREDITS hinting that if we get the "Good Ending" with comatose Aerith and comatose Cloud, she will be able to be reborn onto the surface, "the living world". - We are hoping for this good ending. :) 6. The "Bad Ending Again" will be Advent Children 2.0, but happier and with less trauma and death, maybe Geostigma doesn't exist, and the planet no longer brings human extinction. Again, Advent Children was the "Bad Ending", Geostigma is shown killing thousands in Edge, and in On The Way To A Smile, the characters disbanded after Aerith's death in the novel, literally right after they gave her a funeral, everyone split up. Cloud, is TRIGGER WARNING actually SI in On The Way To A Smile. The other characters notice he's depressed and wants to end his l^fe, Tifa tells Cloud in AC, he's going to just "Give up and die, is that it?" Geostigma, and Meteor obliterating plant life, led to human extinction 500 years into the future. Kitase confirmed AC was the "bad ending" where humans became extinct in his interview with "Electronic Gaming Monthly, Issue # 196." - Nobody wants another AC 2.0 with that much death and trauma again. *Meteor or the world ending is likely to happen again, maybe differently than before.

Don’t want to sound rude, but pls hurry I want to see part two of your amazing analysis. Now more than ever when I’m done with Rebirth and want to see what you think. I don’t think the kiss is canon as it happens after Cloud thinks Aerith still loves Zack and is sad about that. I love Tifa, but that scene was just sad and offending to watch as a woman.

I would love a ff7 rebirth analysis
Need to do Rebirth and Reunion when it comes
@LUCID_REVERIE Great job, pure art and analysis. I use to learn of the endless, and pretty well made portraits of personality symbolism some have recreated and published in the web - not this case -, but I tend to play it all down to certain point where it is clear the amount of non perverted nor disturbed authenticity present in Cloud's character. For the record, authenticity does not mean neatness, nor anything as near as a blank page, like a very begining of everything. Cloud is a social kid growing up, tending to go far. But, as the best role player perhaps ever being put in place in a game as he is, everyone is thirsty about appropriating his role first, and then to project on it. Is'n it? After all, who is entirely blanket in the midst of a passion? Which being can be some kind of non-reminiscent person of their culture, their references, their mere and loud inexperience during their first, or even subsequent love stories? Come on, this story is georgous as relatable as it is, precisely because of its realism ^^ And that is something that may hurts that ones who deny it, or try to.
The Clerith fanbase must work a little harder guys. Liking, comenting and sharing this kind of video and having health/non toxic discutions. I say this because the cloti's videos have much more engagment in youtube and instagram and really triggers me open youtube and seeing Cloti's videos sugestion even when i don't even click on then XD
Omg I just find this video and I’m loving it💙💚. I hope you’re working in part 2 about Rebirth bc you did an amazing job with this one (new sub)😁
i think the whispers are the ones in the dark alleyway where aerith ran away from.because whispers knew that remake aerith discovered what happened to all of them at the original timeline
Usually I never comment under these types of videos(In reality I have always been afraid to express myself online because I think that my opinion doesn't count or doesn't matter or what I write doesn't make sense so I just watch), also because I'm not one of those who fights or argues over ships between who should be with whom, it really annoys me to argue about this type of thing, a bit no sense as it is I see it but it's just my opinion obviously. However, what I want to say is that in my opinion each of us has our own interpretation in the end, there are those who prefer or interpret Cloud x Aerith more and there are those who prefer or interpret Cloud x Tifa more, it's all a question of how you experience the game and how you interpret it depending on the relationships between Cloud, Aerith and Tifa. I personally (but this is MY INTERPRETATION, therefore very subjective and not objective let's be clear, it's my point of view) prefer Cloud and Tifa, but obviously there may be many other people who interpret it in a very different way from mine, like it may be that there are also other people who think the same way as me, and I absolutely agree with this!. I like that people have different interpretations of the relationships between Cloud, Tifa and Aerith, but up to a certain point, because when these interpretations start to become toxic the situation already changes. It's as if many people wanted to impose their thoughts or interpretation of the game on someone else, who perhaps interpreted it differently, so it would be more logical instead of arguing, to be interested and also discover something more about other people's interpretations, rather than belittling them as often happens unfortunately, and I'm sorry. In the sense: if I prefer Cloud x Tifa more, and I see that some other person prefers Cloud x Aerith more, I'm certainly not the one who insults or contradicts the person who prefers or interprets Cloud x Aerith more, I would never dare In fact I respect it, but I don't agree with my personal interpretation. (I have always seen Aerith much more as a maternal figure and that she can be a point of reference for everyone, especially for Cloud to move forward in his life, a salvation, even beyond death, his conscience and his memory she still lives vividly in everyone's hearts and minds for what she did, in fact the game was based on the concept of life after death. Just think that everyone in the film wears a pink ribbon in memory of Aerith, as if she were always together at their side even if not physically, really beautiful, obviously these are also my personal interpretations don't kill me please hahaha...). As I said, for me personally it's up to personal and subjective interpretation. In my opinion, the developers have given us the freedom and the possibility to choose/interpret (also through the interactive in-game responses made to the player himself to empathize even more and make his own choices, unfortunately however making the player choose his own choices and interpretations then also leads to conflicts between Clerith ships etc...) who do we prefer as a romantic couple between Tifa and Aerith in a certain sense, and that's fine!. I really loved this game so much and I definitely don't just focus on who Cloud should be with (unfortunately the feuds between ships are really toxic and I don't like it when people argue about these things, I'm also quite upset that the community does this, because in the end they are discussing their own interpretations of the game and how one experiences the story from their point of view, as I see it.....or maybe I'm the stupid one and I didn't understand the story(?) I don't know... if anyone reads this comment tell me), there are so many other beautiful things to discuss about this story, and this world is truly fascinating for anyone who loved the franchise... sorry for writing so much but I wanted to express myself even if I almost never do it... (if something is written badly in English I'm sorry I'm Italian)😅Sorry I didn't see the whole video though...
This is why we referenced the novels. The writers make it so Aerith is the default love interest regardless of who the player chooses. Cloud will choose Aerith AGAINST the player's wishes. This is why the credits and game codes default to Aerith in case of a tie breaker. I showed the hidden game codes, it's Aerith. I don't get why people don't realize this even when we showed it using split screen? I'm doing it for Rebirth too, it's the same thing. Their missions are "mirrors." Aerith is the primary female lead just like the Original.
@@LUCID_REVERIE Yes yes, I know there are novels of fvii, if I may ask which novels have you read from ffvii??? Oh anyway my comment wasn't to deny that Cloud loves Aerith it was to say my personal point of view is different that's all😅I mean how many novels are on fvii? Because I know there are some.
@silvesss Advent Children The Novel On The Way To A Smile FF7 Remake Traces Of Two Pasts You can buy all 3 of them on Amazon, it's from Square Enix Novels. Advent Children The Novel is part of the Advent Children's LE Director's Cut. This one is with a DVD set. They explain why Cloud is estranged from Tifa in the novels: Including why they have separate bedrooms. The basically don't get along, and they argue over lifestyle differences, the delivery service, and parenting Marlene. Cloud in the books is lying about his home being inside of Aerith's Church and hiding he has Geostigma and he slowly ghosts her in the novels. Including in Advent Children The Novel.
@@LUCID_REVERIE Ok tysm!
This analyze video is astounding.showing details i hadnt thought of, and deepening the characters. Amazing work. Cant wait for more. ❤️ also, props to SE for creating this absolute masterpiece of games.
Just found this video like yesterday and I'm hooked!
Thanks for making the video. I really appreciate it 😊
1:10:00 what song is that and from where? I love it very much
said anything about Tifa, but I always find it strange to see your boyfriend grieving the death of other woman, okay that woman was supposed to be his best friend but he never contact u later on, pushed you and the other friends away while remaining stayed in the place that held the most memories between him and the dead girl? Even on Tifa's dating route, the conversation usually revolves around Aerith, if not they would talk/fight about their past tragedies. while Tifa is depicted always jealous of Cloud and Aerith's relationship, Aerith subtly pushed Tifa and Cloud to be together (did anyone notice?) perhaps she hoped cloud will have someone at his side after she died. In conclusion, I feel sorry for Tifa, she was a beautiful, strong, independent woman who could defeat any strong enemy, but they turned her into a rebound.
Thanks for this! I hope they do one for Rebirth.
Please part 2 please😢
Thanks for this! Took a lot of effort and research! Please make another for Rebirth + Ultimania when you have time! 🫶
I can't wait for part 2 🥺
"Barret is about to send Cloud to the lifestream" LMAO ! Looking forward to part 2 ☆
Waiting for a video for Rebirth :) great job!
Now that Rebirth has been released, it would be awesome if you add to this video how Cloud is the one who cuts the physical distance to get closer to Aerith. She started to be close to him (to a distance that Cloud doesn’t mind) and touched him every opportunity she gets (sign that she really likes him), to be Cloud the one who touches her by hugging her, protecting her with his own body, and touching her face. Plus, Cloud smiles many many times only with Aerith. She really knows how to break Cloud’s wall. 🥰🥰🥰
my heart :(
Such a great video and I love everything about this! Thank you for your effort! Will look forward to Part 2!
Doing the lord's work here 🎉🎉 as a clerith I just enjoyed basking in your hard worknn
You know , I used to hate Clerith CP when I first start to play OG FF7 ( Yes , even my friends hate Aerith and prefer Tifa ). Yea , I was Cloti fan before when back then. But after I complete FF7 Remake . I regrets my Cloti shipping and prefer Clerith shipping , because while Tifa is a perfect woman ....I feel like...there's no chemistry between her and Cloud of course...something seems really off...instead I find that Aerith has chemistry with Cloud , and whenever Cloud is with her. He sees very relax and happy with her and of course , he is willing to do anything for her and doesn't ask anything. No wonder they both attract each other and fall in love. I gotta say it again. Boys prefer Tifa *REAL MAN Loves Aerith* I really wish this time both Aerith & Cloud have a happy ending so don't let us down SE!!
Boys prefer Tifa REAL MAN Loves Aerith well said !!! The problem is that I don't know if it will be possible to see Aerith and Cloud together in the last game...
@@francisco24slb1, I don’t think that aerith and cloud are separated forever in the rebirth . We clearly see a rainbow visual effect when cloud deflected sephiroth’s blade . The same thing happened when Zack created a timeline with his crisis decision ( cure cloud or save Biggs ). We clearly see that cloud could physically interact with aerith in the white space between dimensions , sephiroth also acknowledged her existence. Furthermore , red managed to sense her , so cloud is 100 percent not hallucinating . The only counter argument to cloud and aerith not reuniting is aerith saying «sayonara» right before the credits roll . This word usually means «goodbye forever» . You may interpret it as a last farewell , but during the credits we have nptk . The last lyric of the song states :«still I know one day you’ll come and find me » . It may be a foreshadowing . So keep your hopes up . P.s when you have doubts think of the main theme of ff7 remake /rebirth . Basically what is the purpose of the story
That hurt you know, because I'm a quite young boy from central Europe who actually ships clerith.
Thank you for this compilation! I honestly needed this. Can never have enough of their love. I completely missed the fireworks motif we see throughout their time spent together which only further pushes their narrative since later on that specific date on the Ferris wheel showcases fireworks which are now associated with Aerith meaning that date is meant for her. 💘 Also with the look forward not back I wonder if we can just apply that towards this whole game to begin with aka a new beginning not the same old ending perhaps??
Tifa is such painfully a third wheel hahaha its almost unbearable.
As a 9th Prestige Veteran of the Clerith army from 2000, this video would have been the ammo we needed to crush the Western army known as Tifa's Boobs.
And my country (Indonesia) too . They're Tifa fans. Tifa fans are so toxic.
Right! On the other hand we're outnumbered so you should get a cloning machine.
Her gameplay in Rebirth there's a mini game she legit spreads her legs OPEN to the camera, and I was laughing hysterically while playing. In tears playing. Like they legit put the commands on top of her groin...💀 I think some gamers push her because of her boobs and ass tbh. For shallow reasons like this, which I find amusing. They don't take enough time to read her story and then lie about it online, hence this video series.
the bit i love is cloud was going to save tifa untill he had to dance then it was screw tifa im out untill he saw aerith wooing him, and dude started shaking them hips lmao
Pretty sure Kitase had a quote about how after working on these characters for 27 years, he desired a happy ending, so I hope that happens.
I really wanted to see Aerith and Cloud reunite in the last game but...I think it's difficult...I think it's really difficult After everything I've been through in the remake...to see that they might not get back together...it really hurts.
The attention to detail you have is amazing. Thank you for your effort ! This was a super interesting video and well made - having a side by side comparison really drove the differences home even if I still like both Cloti and Clerith. Would love to see another video like this for Rebirth :’)
Wow this is awesome. Thank u. I’m waiting for “rebirth” video 😊
This video is so beautiful, appreciate your effort and I look forward to part 2 🎉🎉
Wow, you can even guess Aerith in 1 timeline died, i am impressed. Again nice video, Clerith itself is the scenario of FF7 after all.
okay go online and look up this (cloudxaeris) it shows content from japanese and english translation next to it from books and games.
if you read all the sources on cloud and aerith , they all mostly say aerith will forever be in cloud heart, and that they are soulmates and etc. i wish i can post my source but it always gets deleted. I will try posting it again.
I think u need verified account to post links. Otherwise youtube flags us for posting links. It's annoying tho fr
Part 2 please... ❤❤❤
Even the whole promises theme speaks huge volumes about both couples. Cloud and Tifa is based upon a relationship formed around a childhood promise. That promise involved Cloud evolving to become Tifas idea of a romantic partner-someone strong and famous who could save her when she was in a bind. Now that No Promises to Keep is out it almost immediately contradicts everything Cloud and Tifa is about-Cloud and Aerith dont need to promise anything to each other because they know they will find their way back to one another regardless of the circumstances-even death
I was watching a blind playthrough (Kastaclysm) and she was saying something like Aerith has a thing for members of SOLDIER or the hero types and that Tifa and Cloud were the main leads/couple while Aerith was just an option, I was like what you're talking about. Needless to say, there are many people who spread that wisdom among their followers, she is not the only one. That promise involved Cloud evolving into Zack. Tifa's idea of a romantic partner is called Zack Fair.
Aerith can break Cloud's barrier.
Just got to the end of Rebirth. Once more people get there and see the church date we will get more Clerith fans. Specifically the part where Cloud goes “You’ll have to give me a harder one next time” “Next time?” “Yeah, next time” Aerith smiles and replies with “At least now I know where you and I stand” There’s no ambiguity there. Cloud wants another date and Aerith is happy to hear this, saying she understands where their relationship stands.
You'd think people would understand that was aerith and cloud confessing. Yet I've seen so many people say it was aerith friendzoning cloud or cloud didn't like the date(despite showing multiple times that even though he knew something was a little weird, he wanted the date to go well) and kept calling her weird
If Cloud and Aerith don't get together in the last game...I'll be in pain for the rest of my life
The misinterpretation tells less about the splendid writing, which really is so damn good, than about how clouded are those blinded eyes of whom won't aknowledge at brain what heart doesn't allow them yet to feel.
The thing is, if i'm not wrong, this specifics lines of dialog only happens when you have the highest affection with aerith, so not everyone will se it. Besides, hardcore cloti fans still defends that all the afection behaviour from cloud towards aerith comes from zack's memories....
@@raquelmota14 You're right, that's one even more chance to maneuver in between the spectre of choices the developers give, seems to be the last in the game and in the crucial moment of the whole story. Holy materia is a fancy metaphor for the affectivity they've shared, undoubtedly a sublime way of that expression than a mere sexual performance or something of that nature. That's not to undermine the physical side, wich is clearly in frank ascent since the beginning and pointing at high smoothly levels in the course of the progression these two are developing till the end. But, either way, the lowest affection direction hooks up fine with this context of progression, so to speak. Or saying it in negative terms: Cloud's 'Why not?' is not NecessarilY a hurdle to comprehend the kind of intimacy that envelops both. As for Zack's taste towards women kind of embedded in Cloud's mind or personality or way of being, well, we all here are going to agree, either by the natural sense of this love story narrative, either due to plot knowledge. That byass, should I say fallacy or misunderstanding, is ever rapidly debunked. Suffice to recall that that 'memory thing', actually, comes from the phenomenon depicted in Tifa's flashback, in OG, of her first reencounter with Cloud in Midgar's train station since their childhood, being in action Jenova's memo copy powers by the first touch of both. Anyway, giving a certain heritage of Zack upon Cloud that is doubtless and pertains to Cloud's arch entirely, it is about common sense to observe that the seduction, flirting and intimation of the famous couple is something that evolves with the same authenticity any love story shall tell. I use to learn of the endless, and pretty well made portraits of personality symbolism some have recreated and published in the web, but I tend to play it all down to certain point where it is clear the amount of non perverted nor disturbed authenticity present in Cloud's character. For the record, authenticity does not mean neatness, nor anything as near as a blank page, like a very begining of everything. Cloud is a social kid growing up, tending to go far. But, as the best role player perhaps ever being put in place in a game as he is, everyone is thirsty about appropriating his role first, and then to project on it. Is'n it? After all, who is entirely blanket in the midst of a passion? Which being can be some kind of non-reminiscent person of their culture, their references, their mere and loud inexperience during their first, or even subsequent love stories? Come on, this story is georgous as relatable as it is, precisely because of its realism ^^ And that is something that may hurts that ones who deny it, or try to. On that note, I have the intuition - sure nothing from another world - that one main component of Aerith's relationship denial among us, and here does not matter the preferences, is the fact that she was doomed to be torn apart form her physical agency, and that is something so much unbearable in the reign of our current feelings that can only be assimilated as much as it is founded out of fantasy. Not in vain, her death is the greatest gravity body in this amazing journey. Maybe there resides its infinite value: that the turmoil always invades passionate affairs and so this story hits right on the core. A very factual one, indeed.
2:23:15 that look Cloud gives Barrett is the most human Clouds ever been. He's petrified for Aerith. Totally takes Barrett off guard. The kind of look that can change your mind in an instant. He's down bad for her at this point. Amazing visual storytelling. We need more of THIS Cloud. We've had enough "cool" Cloud.
im gonna say what aerith said, "there are two different types of liking"
When are you covering rebirth?
This is so amazing !!! Congrats the chemistry and magic that exists between Cloud and Aerith is unique 🥰 --SPOILERS REBIRTH-- there's only one thing that makes me sad...Why didn't we get to see a kiss between them ?? why Square ?? you've made such an incredible relationship between them, full of chemistry, something magical, since FF7 Remake...why did you give Cloud/Tifa a chance to kiss and not Cloud/Aerith ?? someone help me understand please
Engaging with Cloti shippers online after Rebirth came out has honestly been exhausting. All they do is bring up their one (optional) date and refuse to acknowledge that the last two full hours of the game are nothing but Clerith.
Final Fantasy VII OG is A Japanese game. The choices for romance are typical for Japanese games, Visual Novels. But in these games there is is always a story relationship. For FF VII is Aerith and Cloud. Tifa is only a option. If they want, they could do more romance options in OG game. (Tifa, Jessie, Yuffie, Cissnei) Some People dont understan'd mechanics of Japanese style of games.
Yes, it's true... the problem is that they'll always remind us of the kiss. I know it's optional... but unfortunately it's there. There must be a reason... probably pure fan service
Of course it is a fan service. Tifa fans demanded and they got it. But it is only a option.
I know it's optional...but it's there. Why didn't they do a kiss scene with Aerith?@@Speechless84
@@francisco24slb1because Cloud and Aerith got a beautiful love song, No Promises to Keep, a song written and sung by Aerith, they got a selfie and the church is referred to as “our place” it’s much more than an optional kiss that you get if you get full max romance with Tifa. No Promises to Keep is a message for Cloud, listen to the end credit of No Promises to Keep, they add more lyrics than the one Aerith sings on stage. Cloud and Aerith will reunite in game 3, the game is going in different direction than the original game look at remake/rebirth it’s not the same as the original game and AC will definitely not be the same 😊
Rebirth just came out and now we have to wait four more years for a conclusion 😢
Great video! So much work to put it on. I'm waiting for Your few words in part 2 after Rebirth. It is a crazy ride especially ending. No spoilers! Can' t wait.
i'm finding this video after having played rebirth and i love this and can't wait for your part two !! i'm sure it'll be no easy feat, especially with how much rebirth gave us, but i'm looking forward to it <3 thanks for you hard work in putting everything together !!
if you're making a part 2 there is soooo much to analyse in rebirth 😁
Hey @LUCID_REVERIE, I loved this video. I'm just wondering, will there be a part 2 now that FF7 Rebirth is out, or are you still working on it?
Ff7 is just tragic love story between cloud and aerith😢😢
SPOILERS UPDATE 3: There's infinite timelines and universes all occurring within the Lifestream, past, present, future everything that ever was. So an infinite amount of Aerith, Cloud, and Zack existing in the Lifestream and thus the multiverse across time, across life and death. I've sort of analyzed the THIRD game's ending, and it's looking to stay a romantic tragedy. Possible Endings (Random Order, Cloud will reunite with Aerith in most of them, but it's for a limited time): Also major spoilers, the lying between Tifa and Cloud is in EVERY SCENE, and also in IDLE GAMEPLAY. Their lying is from the novel "FF7 Remake Traces Of Two Pasts": Every single scene they are lying about the broken promise, lying about childhood b^llying & exclusion, lying about Tifa flirting (both subtle and not subtle) with Zack when they were teenagers, and lying about who the SOLDIER was in Nibelheim (it's Zack, Cloud stole his career and accolades in order to win Tifa over). Tifa is also lying she made a broken promise not just with Cloud, but with Emilio, Lester, and Tyler (she made promises with all teenage boys in the village, and SPOILERS all the teenagers promised her the same things, and all 4 males broke their promise, including Cloud). The one who kept Tifa's Childhood Promise, is ZACK (just play Crisis Core Reunion, and it explains everything who the hero was, it was Zack doing all the saving in live gameplay, he's fighting for literal days before his death in Crisis Core Reunion). In "Traces Of Two Pasts", Tifa had b^llied Cloud through socially excluding him for nearly 20 years (even into adulthood). I have no idea how a romance is going to develop based on lying and deceiving each other. They could throw the whole "The Lifestream fixes everything" or "forgiveness" argument but that's also nearly 20 years of being excluded. There's clearly feelings developing between them, but while playing, nearly every sentence they have contains lies about the past and present. It is worse lying and deception than in the Original (which I played recently). Enough deception to manipulate Cloud to give Sephiroth the Black Materia (just like in OG). Possible Endings (Aerith has a SLIM Chance she will end up with Cloud, like 25% chance). But Cloud is clearly in love with her, especially doing split screen of all stories together, it's clearly Aerith that is Cloud's true love (it crosses multiple universes). From the way Aerith speaks about it, she knows at some point she and Cloud will be reincarnated again, and fall in love all over again, we just don't know when or where. Possible endings: 1. Reunite, but Cloud can only be with Aerith in the Lifestream, the afterlife, therefore reuniting with her through his death. Cloud at the end of OG says, "I want to go to the Promised Land, I think I can meet her there." That can be achieved through death and reincarnation in some form, or being in between life and death. - Someone pointed out this is like Noctis and Luna, tbh I hope this is not the ending as that is still a sad ending. 2. Reunite, and potential children. The world is reborn anew. A new timeline is created where most characters survive. There's a really big easter egg in Traces Of Two Pasts on page 240. This is either the saddest easter egg ever, where Aerith becomes a mother, or foreshadowing a good ending. But there's a twist with this easter egg. 3. Two Endings - This one I'm still exploring. I think this would be the WORST idea for Square Enix to do. I found mirrored footage of Cloud copying Zack's romantic gestures and using them on Tifa. It's quite bad and extremely triggering. He basically uses Zack's romantic moves on Tifa in The Sky Wheel. I still can't believe I found this footage. I highly recommend NOT watching my second video if you really like Cloud and Tifa, he is using Tifa as a rebound. He also lies to Aerith insisting nothing is wrong and that he's himself, but he's lying to her too about being an ex-SOLDIER. He's lying to both female leads, but he lies to Tifa the most in Rebirth. :( 4. Something different? 5. 1 unified dimension. "Reborn" The story will end either in Sector 5's Church, Loveless Street, or back to a key location (think Midgar or The Northern Crater). The group will all convene at one point Cloud, Aerith, Zack and Tifa will cross timelines through the Lifestream, but we won't know if all parties will be able to stay together. Aerith's Song, "No Promises to Keep" guarantees a reunion is inevitable. There's extra lyrics in the CREDITS hinting that if we get the "Good Ending" with comatose Aerith and comatose Cloud, she will be able to be reborn onto the surface, "the living world". - We are hoping for this good ending. :) 6. The "Bad Ending Again" will be Advent Children 2.0, but happier and with less trauma and death, maybe Geostigma doesn't exist, and the planet no longer brings human extinction. Again, Advent Children was the "Bad Ending", Geostigma is shown killing thousands in Edge, and in On The Way To A Smile, the characters disbanded after Aerith's death in the novel, literally right after they gave her a funeral, everyone split up. Cloud, is TRIGGER WARNING actually SI in On The Way To A Smile. The other characters notice he's depressed and wants to end his l^fe, Tifa tells Cloud in AC, he's going to just "Give up and die, is that it?" Geostigma, and Meteor obliterating plant life, led to human extinction 500 years into the future. Kitase confirmed AC was the "bad ending" where humans became extinct in his interview with "Electronic Gaming Monthly, Issue # 196." - Nobody wants another AC 2.0 with that much death and trauma again. *Meteor or the world ending is likely to happen again, maybe differently than before.
Tiffa kiss in a gondola its not a canon. I thinking that it is only a romance option like Yuffie etc.
Don’t want to sound rude, but pls hurry I want to see part two of your amazing analysis. Now more than ever when I’m done with Rebirth and want to see what you think. I don’t think the kiss is canon as it happens after Cloud thinks Aerith still loves Zack and is sad about that. I love Tifa, but that scene was just sad and offending to watch as a woman.
