As for an update, the 1st 3rd of the book is under review. Further expansion of the power system. Building on its lore and religion.
At work thinking about FF16.
I'm actually concerned about how fast people are blasting through the game. Are yall not doing side quests and exploring?? Sheesh.
@TarksGauntlet
People have fond memories of Xplay but I remember them being extremely harsh on games I lived growing up most of them JRPGs.
Also Morgan Webb legit gassed up MID.
Post Advent Children we see a much friskier Cloud, Tifa can't even get dressed for the anniversary party without Cloud trying to give her kisses.

FF7 is really a love story at its core.
Begins for love, ends with love and hope for the future.
Everything around this plot of essentially Cloud returning to Tifa is just an obstacle both must overcome.
FF7 in the case of Cloud and Tifa, a happy ending is something they had to work on and build together. They create a family finding happiness 1 day at a time.

The Tifa/Jill thing annoys me, I'm sorry! Yes, I see it. It's super cute, but let Jill shine on her own, please!
The Tifa parallel takes away from her personal journey. Both characters are more than their ship. Had to get it off my chest. Now carry on praising both Queens.
If Tifa never came out of that lake in Gongaga.
GG for Mr Strife. Party disbands Sephiroth wins.
"Tifa is too Cloud centric." Get over it she's the love interest.
Sephiroth: Cloud Strife loves Tifa Lockhart. 😈
Aerith: I know ❤️🥰
Barret: Obviously
Red XIII: *bark* Indeed *meow*
Yuffie: Wait, was that a secret?
Cair Sith: I had a feeling.
Vincent: ..... Love.... ZzzZzz
Cid: No F**** S***
Sephiroth: 😮
"The kiss is optional"
It really doesn't matter if it's optional or not. It's in the game. The kiss tells you how Cloud feels about Tifa, which the majority of people on the planet have said for years it means he loves her. Hang it up, retire the cope, move on, it's over.
Aerith does not save the planet. Stop crediting her she's just a tragic character
The planet saves the planet after Cloud and Co stop Sephiroth.
"Aerith and Holy make things worse technically."

Thank you 27, goddam years, someone else sees it,besides myself and Cid.
FF7: love story
FF8: Love story
FF9: A moving tale of one's identity. What a person values and does with the time given to them. What does it mean to be alive? Can a single being defy the fate given to them? Zidane & Garnet fall in love amidst these prominent themes in 9s story.
The CA crowd waking up to Ls each day is just so great.
It's not too late. Embrace Zerith and accept Cloti ✨️ It will set you free.
Hold L3+R3 Accept the truth
I can't believe I have to explain the love at 1st sight trope regarding FF7 and how it doesn't have one because
Cloud and Aerith
Do
Not
Love
Each
Other
Aerith, however, does have a love at 1st sight moment, though. It's with Mr. Fair when he calls her an angel.
I try my best to give Aerith the benefit of the doubt and rationalize her behavior. In Rebirth I see her moments with Cloud as an unhealthy coping mechanism for her loneliness rather than spiting Tifa, who's legitimately her friend. She misses Zack and wants what CT have so bad.
Nojima says around OG FF7 a senior programmer said to him “Aerith and Tifa don’t really get along, do they?” But that was not his intention and he thought he did a good job portraying them as friends.
That misinterpretation stuck with him for years. This time around, in FF7
Holding onto a lie when evidence states otherwise for 27 years is actually insane. Ya'll need help for real.
If you don't understand the subplot of Cloud and Tifa "reuniting" in the story and falling in love. You either don't understand FF7 or are just refusing to accept FF7
It's crazy that a relationship so obvious is finally allowed to just exist and be appreciated. Cloud and Tifa congrats on your 27 year long relationship. 🙏
Kudos to those that accepted thus from the start and didn't entertain the no nsebse of Cloud loving his best friends gf.
The Love Triangle debate continues to ruin everything great about FF7. Yet Square Enix chooses the path of
"As long as people are talking about, it's good for us."
Not really. The LTD just makes people not really want to bother and / or play the game in silence.
Cloud barely talking during the Aerith date shows a lack of interest. All throughout the game, he's upset being with her because Tifa may get the wrong idea when she goes beyond his boundaries.
Cleriths just ignore this. Definition of Cope.
Play. The. Game. PLEASE!
Cloud kissed Tifa because he wanted to, and it won't be the last.
Cloud doesn't kiss Aerith because he doesn't want to and never will.
I hope that's clear. I know some of you are working on theories as to why a man would kiss a woman, but this is why.
Are Cleriths really comparing Cloud kissing Tifa to Seymour essentially assaulting Yuna?
Bro, this is why we can't have nice things. You people ruin it for everybody.
Cloud and Tifa deserve better. Every other FF game can celebrate its relationships without controversy, but these 2 get dumped on due to a badly translated game in 1997, and folks not accepting Square Enix lied to them in the narrative.
The Remake trilogy has saved Aeriths character. Really, enjoy her in these games. She's fun. The devs deciding to make Aerith a big sister /bestie to Tifa, a sense of comedic relief and general eye of wonder in the journey discovering along with the players was a brilliant move
@SnowTheEnby
It's an IP bro not that serious. Let people enjoy the game. Despite what Rowling thinks
However, many people who put hard work into creating this game don't des4rve to have their hard work go nowhere.
Cloud asks Tifa questions, smiles in her presence, worries about her, and remembers random derails about her. Cloud takes interest In her future and puts himself in it alongside her. Many allusions to"future Seventh Heaven, enjoying her cooking, etc. Do not tell me it's not canon
Not only is Aerith the "savior of the world"
She also has to have the romance subplot or it invalidates her character. If she doesn't get Cloud she is somehow worthless in the eyes of her own fans. Aerith saves the planet, Tifa saves Cloud the devs didn't give her both.
I'm just going to ask my fellow fans of Canon to just drop debating with CA delusioners. I've been triggered the last couple of days with their disgusting claims, but seriously, what are we doing? Arguing over who Cloud loves when he's only ever kissed Tifa. Argument over.
Thanks to
@StygianSis
shang details on "A Tale of 2 Pasts" my head Canon regarding Cowgirl Tifa was proven right. Nojima San actually wrote the reason she dressed like that she subconsciously wanted to look cute for Cloud's grand homecoming. This is peak romance ⬇️
"We don't know what would have happened if Aerith didn't die."
Sure we do, Tifa would have her best friend, while Cloud would have less baggage and someone else to honor Zacks memory with. Would Cloud and Aerith get together? Absolutely no chance of that happening.
Remember, in 2020, the CAs said Cloud hugging Tifa is "not romantic and it's a pity hug/he's hugging his sister."
Fast forward to 2024, Cloud and Aerith hold hands, and they scream romance ♥️
Dear viewer of this tweet, this is the definition of cope.
Clerith real quiet right now, I thought they'd be sharing some Golden Saucer date clips lmfaooo
WiLD!!!!!!
Yall thought I was trolling this whole time? Bruh, I haven't even started!
Good morning all I wanted to discuss this. When Tifa gives her "Dilly Dally" speech to Cloud, she slams her hand on the bed and the camera gives us this focus shot. Why?
Tifa is showing her emotions, showing her hand with the ring is meant to show the viewer they have a bond⬇️
Cloud is embarrassed for himself, HE is the one that decides to leave town HE wants to become SOLDIER. Tifa doesn't put hIm up to this, it's HIS undertaking to impress her. Cloud's insecurities stems from Tifa's fall HE blames himself for HIS own weakness. Play. The. GAME.

#Cloti
on screen kiss is coming just be patient because when it happens Twitter is going to Explode .
Tifa and Cloud are both shy and awkward Imagine if Cloud is the initiator like he was with the hug?
#FF7
Trigger Warning
Aerith in the original game is nothing more than a plot device, a cheap tactic to get an emotional response from fans, and a deus ex machina to tie up the ending.
She wasn't a character until Crisis Core and later Remake fleshed her out, making her likable.
DDC: Cloud wants to reunite with Aerith so Tifa is jealous.
Cloud saves Tifa, tells her they can reunite with everyone in the afterlife, she smiles agreeing, holding him tighter, with HER THEME PLAYING.
"Tifa's theme is warm & calming to signify a feeling of home for Cloud"SE
Haven't talked about the ship war, a while, but I got time.
If Cloud were referring to the drink, Tifas reaction here is pointless. Square didn't painstakingly animate her blush & bite her lip over Cloud, saying, "Beautiful." it's an obvious compliment to her live with it.
When Guts despairs in Berserk 371 screaming "What Was It All For!?"
The collective Berserk fans despaired also.
Berserk 372 shows Casca desperately trying to return to Guts because she knows she can feel it. He needs her.
Well done, studio Gaga and Mori-san
The Cloud and Tifa Hug scene has so many layers to it. Cloud begins the scene in his cool guy persona, he realizes Tifa is sad and he drops the cool guy image right away, iInner Cloud takes over. Soldier Cloud doesn't impress Tifa, sweet shy Cloud does.
Folks, really arguing the Claudiat dream/flashback?
How is it Aetith coded?
1. Claudia describes everything Tifa is, and Aerith isn't
2. Say away from city girls (Jessie/Aerith)
3.The Promise music is playing in the background
4. He's leaving to go back to Tifa
"You mean, Cloud loves Tifa and not Aetith?? Square Enix lied to me! How could they change the original game!?"
"It was always like that 🤷🏾 You lied to yourself. Then you found comfort in others telling themselves the same lie."
27 years let the lie die.
FF7 follows all conventions in storytelling the infamous 3 Ps
Promise
Progress
Payoff
In this case, with Cloud and Tifa. Their relationship is built upon, starting with a litteral promise shown to the viewer hinting romance. In Remake and OG, Aerith has none of this.
FF7 Remake came out 3 years ago. 2 years ago, I commented on a YouTube video, and it's still pissing people off. A man hugging a crying girl under the artificial moonlight is more romantic than a girl telling a guy, "Don't fall in love it's not real." Major Cope, stay mad, CAs.
Remember Cloud as a wheel chair bound vegetable loves Tifa so much that he pulls her into his subconscious to save her life when the 2 plummet into the Lifestream. What follows is one of the most iconic confessions of love to ever grace gaming. The part of the game some ignore.
Never forget that Gold Saucer was a major point for CAs for 4 years. "GS date is coming." It all went away when Cloud Kissed Tifa, mow they don't like talking about Gold Saucer anymore.
Time is a flat circle.
Cloud and Tifa having romantic scenes in the Remake project is not a retconn. it's expansion on pre-existing story elements. It's a storyteller leaving breadcrumbs towards the emotional climax/finale of their love story.
Just clearing this up, your weekend.
A boy inviting a girl he has a crush on to the local date spot in town, making a promise to her under the stars is coded in romance. There's even a shooting star at the end of it. Copium on max
🧵Narratively:
-Tifa and Cloud’s relationship has little to do with love and more to do with Clouds past insecurities
While
-Aerith and Cloud relationship is directly about true love, a tragic romance, and 2 people that are canonically perfect for each other
